Daily Meditations of Pope Francis

This morning on Facebook, News.va announced the creation of a microsite dedicated to all the daily homilies and mediations by Pope Francis during Mass at Domus Sanctae Marthae (Santa Marta Chapel).  Recently, Father Lombardi, the Director of the Holy See Press Office, announced that the Holy Father's daily homilies would be shared with the world, but they would be summarized.  Once you read his explanation, you will fully understand and agree.

Anyways, go experience the messages from the Holy Father now.

One Sister Can Change The World

"One Sister Can Change The World" is the motto of the Imagine Sisters movement.  Their goal is to encourage women to consider religious life by sharing experiences of sisters.  They also exist to share with the world that "nuns are awesome!"  I first discovered them on Facebook and have seen the wonderful work they have been doing.

The One Rose Invitation was inspired by St. Therese, the patron saint of Imagine Sisters, who said, "After my death I will let fall a shower of roses."

A campaign they had last October was the "One Rose Invitation".  They asked everyone to think of a young woman who they thought would make an excellent sister.

Then, on the feast of St. Therese, a single red rose would be given to that woman as a symbol of an invitation to consider a religious vocation.  You can read about the success of the campaign here.

Another success of the Imagine Sisters is their t-shirt sales.  Yes, t-shirts!  Currently, all their shirts are sold out at the time of this post.  However, on their Facebook page, you can vote for the next colors.

In the coming months, they will be producing a short movie called "Light of Love" that will include interviews with sisters about their choosing such a wonderful vocation.  Learn more about the movie and even donate at lightoflovefilm.com.
