(Please keep Sr. Anne Marie in your prayers as she heads to surgery next week. Thank you!) The Memorare: REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen. The Command to be Perfect  When Jesus tells us to be perfect as Our Heavenly Father is perfect, many of us feel defeated before we start.  We know God doesn’t ask us to do the impossible.  Nevertheless, we pretty much don’t really believe it is possible to be perfect.   Yet, it’s almost inherent …

Call Uber Conference  at 720-735-7025   Online at uberconference.com/facingourimmortality Giving Up Secrets We live in an age of secrets. Governments, corporations, educational, medical and religious institutions are all skilled at keeping secrets both for good reasons and not so good reasons. Media definitely keeps secrets according to the agenda it pushes. But this reflects people in general. People tend to keep a lot of secrets There is a pressing need to recognize that secrets make a difference. They can determine the direction of our lives, and the manner in which we pass from this world into the next. Jesus tells us in the Gospels that everything that is hidden will be revealed. Secret activities, secret wounds, secret weaknesses, secret sins, secret fantasies, secret thoughts, secret addictions, secret jealousies, secret plans, secret ambitions, family secrets, secret judgments, secret desires, in fact a secret life, all of it will be revealed. That is unless you have taken care of any sin in your secrets, by going to Confession where …

A Life Freely Lived: An Evening Retreat With Sr. Anne Marie Walsh, SOLT.

August 12, 2019 Good evening everyone. Tonight we will go over the upcoming retreat in Iowa and spend some time talking about “A Life Freely Lived”. God Bless you. To join our call: Call Uber Conference  at 720-735-7025   Online at uberconference.com/facingourimmortality We will say a brief prayer before the spiritual exercise begins. From the perspective of eternity, there is really only one urgency:  the salvation of souls. Birthing souls into eternal life is a labor that is perhaps the most hidden, and yet, most valuable labor of all.  This is not the kind of work many people ever think of or even consciously involve themselves in. Yet when the weight of what is at stake is felt, and an eternity of either endless happiness or endless torment is understood within the depths of a soul, great hearts are moved in the likeness of Jesus’ own heart to do whatever they can to keep even one soul from being lost. A century ago, a group of men called the One-Way Missionaries, freely chose to serve that urgency by purchasing one-way …

Imagine Your Eternity

Hi from Denise. I thought I might post a little bit about some of the thoughts people shared during our most recent evening retreat with Sr. Anne Marie Walsh. You may have noticed I started naming our spiritual exercise group “evening retreats with Sr. Anne Marie”. I don’t know about you but when we are all together with Sr. Anne it feels like a mini-retreat. During our evening retreats we have a refreshing opportunity move away from ourselves and closer to God. Because our world is filled to capacity with distractions it takes enormous effort to say “no” to the subtle temptations of our society. July’s spiritual exercise was about how we feed and nurture our souls. Are we attending to activities which are “life giving”? She asks “Are we eating from the Tree of Life or from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? Everything we do can either prepare us for salvation or make obtaining our salvation more difficult. Sr. Anne’s voice is comforting and strong, like that of what we may …

Our Next Evening Retreat: July 8th

I pray your Pentecost Sunday was just the first of many days whereby you pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Come, Holy Spirit, Come. We will bring to you our next group, via conference call, on July 8, 2019. More to come! Please pray for the repose of the soul of Greg Walsh, Sr. Anne Marie’s brother. He passed away very recently. Mary, Mother of God, pray for us. God Bless you!

Join us May 20th for an Evening Retreat about “Our Lady of Conquering Love”

In these times of uncertainty we need and crave what can be relied upon. If you are sick, or caring for one who is ill, stability can seem fleeting and elusive. The love given to us from our Blessed Mother is constant, stronger than we can imagine with our human minds and meant to bring us to her son, our Lord Jesus. Please take a moment to gift to yourself an evening retreat where we will pray and join in spiritual exercises with Sr. Anne Marie Walsh, SOLT. Please share this opportunity with anyone who could benefit from a gentle reminder about Our Lady of Conquering Love.
