Refreshing the Oil in Our Lamps Alisa Kostecka and Sister Mary Eucharista, SMMC
We know what it feels like to be low on fuel in our emotional, psychological, spiritual, and physical lives. The smooth functioning of each of these dynamics is necessary for the balance to live a virtuous life. Come be refreshed with the “oil of gladness” (PS 45:7) on all of these levels in a day set aside just for women before Mother’s Day. Included will be Holy Mass, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, two conferences, lunch, the recitation of the Rosary and Adoration before the exposed Blessed Sacrament.
