Season of Creation 2021 + Healthy Planet, Healthy People Petition

Since scientists began keeping such records 142 years ago, July 2021 was the hottest month in recorded history.

With this news, it can be easy to fall into despair. But that would be a mistake, because we’ve never been in a better position to bring about change for God’s creation.

Resist temptations

The Lenten journey continues to invite
us to follow Jesus Christ more closely.
In His humanity, Jesus was tempted but
did not give in. The devil presented every
possible option to make Him succumb,
yet He remained steadfast and faithful
to the Father. This reminds us that we
are not called to rely on ourselves or to
gratify our own abilities. Instead,
we are invited to trust in God’s constant
help and His faithful presence, especially
in moments of temptation.

Lent provides us with a perfect opportunity to
“begin again” in our lives as religious women.

Our lives as CPS are rooted in the
continual flow of life, death and resurrection
– the continual dying
and rising with Jesus –
in our own lives and in the lives of those
to whom we minister and meet daily.
But before we can be women of reconciliation
for those to whom we minister and encounter,
we must first be women of reconciliation
among ourselves.

“If no one goes, I go!”
These courageous words of our Founder,
continue to echo in our hearts today.
They remind us that our vocation as
Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood
is rooted in availability, sacrifice and love
without limit.

In this lent season, we are invited to
renew our personal response to Christ,
to go where we are needed, 
to serve even in difficulty and 
to offer ourselves more
deeply to God’s service.

lent is our time to say again,
with faith and courage…

Lord, I go!
