On this World Day Against Trafficking in Human Persons, let us take a moment to pray for all the victims of human trafficking.

Loving Father,

We seek your divine protection for all who are exploited and enslaved.

For those forced into labor, trafficked into sexual slavery, and denied freedom.

We beseech you to release them from their chains.

Grant them protection, safety, and empowerment.

Restore their dignity and provide them a new beginning.

Show us how we might end exploitation by addressing its causes.

Help us reach out in support of victims and survivors of human trafficking.

Make us instruments of your spirit for their liberation.

For this we pray through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen (USCCB)

We were honored to host 22 Dominican Sisters from seven Dominican Sisters Conference congregations at our Motherhouse in St. Catharine, Kentucky for a week of prayer, reflection, and community.

Throughout the gathering, the sisters shared meaningful conversations, prayed together, reflected on The Universe Story and Models of Living Community with Sr. Pat Connick, OP, and enjoyed time building relationships through meals, recreation, and fellowship.

At the heart of the week were "Conversations in the Spirit"—moments of deep listening, honest sharing, and mutual encouragement as the sisters reflected on the future of Dominican life and their call to serve the needs of our world.

It was a joy to welcome these women to our Motherhouse, and we are grateful for the opportunity to offer hospitality during this grace-filled time. Thank you to Sr. Pat Connick, OP, for sharing her wisdom and guiding the retreat.

Happy 250th anniversary of independence!

Today, we remember the women and men who came before us and strove to create a nation where all are free. Let us pray for our country, especially for those most vulnerable among us.
