A Day In The Life Of A Sister Of The Precious Blood
We begin our day with an hour of personal meditation on the Word of God.
Together we pray the Liturgy of the Hours at various times during the day. Night prayer is said privately.
The Eucharist is the source of our strength as we journey with Jesus to the Father.
Each sister spends half-hour of personal adoration daily to pray for the needs of the world, the Church and the particular needs of those who contact us.
Phone communication is one way of reaching out to those who need our prayers.
On Thursday evenings our Office of Readings is celebrated within an hour of Eucharistic Adoration - praying especially for our Priests and for Vocations to Priestly and Consecrated Life.
Meals together is an opportunity to communicate and share with our sisters in the community
Birthdays and the Sisters' special Anniversaries are celebrated with festive meals and recreation times.
