Caeser is not God. Money does not determine worth. We are not valued or owned by externals… The only repayment required is allegiance to our true self, where the image of the living God is imprinted on us forever.

"Do you have a special place where you pray? Where do you find solace?"

Nature speaks to so many of our Sisters when they are on retreat or otherwise seeking quiet time to connect with God. Here, Sister Pat Marie Buranosky (formerly Sister Mark) enjoys the heavenly view from a favorite retreat destination in central Pennsylvania. Do you have a special place where you pray? Where do you find solace? Share with us in the comments below.

TO COME HOME TO YOURSELF

May all that is unforgiven in you,
Be released.

May your fears yield
Their deepest tranquilities.

May all that is unlived in you,
Blossom into a future,
Graced with love.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital world, online exploitation tactics are becoming more sophisticated, targeted, and difficult to detect. “Navigating Digital Threats: The Dirty Dozen and Online Exploitation Prevention” explores common online dangers that place children, youth, and vulnerable individuals at risk for exploitation, trafficking, grooming, sextortion, and other forms of abuse.

Join the Alliance To End Human Trafficking on June 12 at 12 pm EST for a conversation with AJ Smith, a survivor of online exploitation; Haley McNamara with the National Center on Exploitation, and Sister Maryanne Mueller, author of the Stop Trafficking newsletter, to examine how offenders use social media, gaming platforms, messaging apps, artificial intelligence, and other digital tools to manipulate and exploit victims.
