In today’s Gospel Jesus sees Nicodemus and acknowledges the love he holds for him. God sees each one of us as Nicodemus. Why is it so hard to imagine that God loves me? Is that possible? I am flawed, and I sin. I make mistakes, and I hurt people.

Catholic Sisters Week is March 8-14, and this year we want to share some love for the RSCJ.
We are taught service is with our hands – when we are doing things. Whether that’s writing a check, giving clothing donations, time collecting non-perishable items for a nonprofit or gathering an event group the last Saturday of the month to package boxes of household products and taking time to deliver said packages to a car trunk or steps of a family home.
We’ve been invited to go on a trip. Yes, a trip! Lent is a journey and today’s Gospel takes us on a trip. I remember when our family took trips and used a “AAA Triptik” to plot our way. Now, we’ve got Google maps or similar. However, nowadays we aren’t often “going” anywhere.

Catholic Sisters from 24 congregations – including the Society of the Sacred Heart, United States – Canada (USC) Province – in four states this March will launch a yearlong, live-streamed conversation series on the leading social justice issues of our time.
We invite you into a guided prayer and reflection offered by Mary Finlayson, RSCJ, and Lynne Lieux, RSCJ, of the Vocations Ministry Team,
We believe that Love ignited a fire that created a universe, a constellation of flaming orbs, temporal, yet on a scale beyond our own short lease on this star. Love, however expressed, perceived or imagined, is the match that initiates life. And on life’s journey, we learn how Love behaves.
A prayer for Lent offered by the United States – Canada Province in the midst of uncertain times.
February: To be brave enough
February – the shortest month featuring cold, dark days, a northern hemisphere winter, and now marking a yearlong pandemic! In this context, we are still committed to “making known the revelation of God’s love whose source and symbol is for us the Heart of Christ.” (Society of the Sacred Heart Constitutions). But what particular focus can shape how to live February? What fruit can living into February with this focus yield for those truly committed to making Christ’s love known?
