1:38 Women

Call Directions Website Contact the place of worship

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the perfect example of faith, hope, and love. The 1:38 Women learn how to say, "Yes Lord" just like Mary. We bring hope to the world.

We are called to be women of faith, hope and love. The Blessed Virgin Mary is the perfect example these virtues. At the Annunciation, Mary was open to God’s call through her great faith. She prayed and listened and was completely open to doing God’s will when she proclaimed, “May it be done to me according to your word.” (Luke 1:38). We can stand firm in today’s world, through Mary’s example, regardless of our circumstances. We are called to follow in her footsteps, which include joys and sorrows, by saying “Yes” to God in all things. By doing this we bring life to ourselves, our families, and others.

"Forgive us our trespasses, AS we forgive those who trespass against us."

In this clip from the 1:38 Women's Conference, Jeff Joaquin stops on the shortest word in the Our Father: AS. In the same manner. In the same measure.

Do we understand what we're actually praying? In the middle of the one prayer our Lord gave us, we're asking the heavenly Father to measure the forgiveness He gives us by how well we forgive others.

We could sit in the confessional every single day for the rest of our lives. But if we don't turn around and extend that same forgiveness to the person who hurt us, we've got a real problem, don't we?

Forgiveness is not optional. It's the standard we're asking to be judged by. And it's also where God's Infinite Mercy does its deepest healing.

Do not let people live rent free in your head.

At the 1:38 Women’s Conference, Jeff M. Joaquin shared a powerful reminder in collaboration with Fr. Larry Richards: when we sincerely apologize, that apology is our act of repentance. We can take responsibility for our words and actions: but we cannot control how another person responds.

In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, we approach Christ through His Church, confess our sins, and receive the mercy of God. With one another, we offer a sincere apology and entrust the outcome to the Lord.

Forgiveness is a gift the other person gives. And forgiveness does not mean returning to an unsafe relationship, dismissing harm, or abandoning wise and healthy boundaries. We can release resentment to God while still pursuing safety, truth, accountability, and healing.

What is God asking you to place in His hands today?

“Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.”
Those words from the Our Father are not just a prayer request. They are also a calling.

At the 1:38 Women’s Conference, I bring up the fact that if we ask God to forgive us, we must also be willing to forgive others.

I compare unforgiveness to the scene before Pilate, when the crowd cried, “Release Barabbas” instead of choosing Jesus. When we refuse to forgive, we may believe we are holding someone else captive: but resentment can keep us imprisoned too.

Forgiveness does not mean pretending the harm never happened. It does not remove accountability, eliminate healthy boundaries. But through God’s grace, we can release resentment and choose the freedom Christ offers.

He borrowed $200 and sent his girlfriend, alone, to have a complete stranger take the life of his unborn son.

Seventeen years old. The local football star couldn't be seen at the local ab*rti0n clinic.

He has carried the guilt, the shame, and the regret of that decision ever since. Jeff Joaquin tells that story out loud now, in a room full of women who know that pain from the other side:

"On behalf of each one of you in this room, the man in your life who did not stand up for you when you needed him, I want to apologize on his behalf. Because you did not deserve that."

For every woman who walked through that door, there is usually a man who paid, who drove, or who went silent.

Silence is not innocence. And nobody is beyond God's mercy.
