"Slavery in America was perpetuated not merely by human badness but also by human blindness...." Martin Luther King, Jr. Today we commemorate the day in 1865 when the news regarding the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans reached Texas - the last bastion for slavery during the final days of the Civil War.

This year's World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought highlights the central role of the world’s rangelands in climate resilience, food and water security, biodiversity conservation and the cultural identity of pastoralist and Indigenous communities. Pastoralists are stewards of Indigenous and local knowledge, and care for rangelands that span half the planet. During 2026 International , we honour both the lands and the communities that depend on them.

MARY CONTINUALLY POINTS US TO HER SON

We are inspired by Mary to live as women of faith and hope in our world today. We carry in our hearts the reality of our wounded world, the challenges facing the Church and vulnerability of our institute. We also encounter the emerging new forms of poverty among the ‘new poor,’ isolation, spiritual emptiness, exclusion, anxiety among the young, the loss of hope and ecological devastation. Mary continually points us to her Son, teaching us that by listening deeply to Him, our eyes and hearts are opened to the concrete realities of those who suffer. Her words to us remain pertinent: ‘Do whatever He tells you.’

The Institute’s Leadership Council invites all sisters, staff members, members of the Extended Family, and friends to sing the Magnificat and joyfully celebrate the Feast of the Heart of Mary! Read the full message at the link below.

MARIA APONTA-NOS CONTINUAMENTE PARA O SEU FILHO

Inspiramo-nos em Maria para vivermos como pessoas de fé e esperança no mundo de hoje. Trazemos no coração a realidade do nosso mundo ferido, os desafios que a Igreja enfrenta e a vulnerabilidade do nosso Instituto. Também nos deparamos com novas formas de pobreza que emergem entre os «novos pobres»: o isolamento, o vazio espiritual, a exclusão, a ansiedade entre os jovens, a perda de esperança e a devastação ecológica. Ela aponta-nos continuamente para o seu Filho, ensinando-nos que, ao ouvi-lo atentamente, os nossos olhos e corações se abrem às realidades concretas daqueles que sofrem. As suas palavras a nós dirigidas, continuam a ser pertinentes: «Fazei tudo o que Ele vos disser.»

O Conselho de Liderança do Instituto convida todas as irmãs, colaboradores, membros da Família Alargada e amigos a cantar o Magnificat e a celebrar com alegria a Festa do Coração de Maria! Leia a mensagem completa no link abaixo.

On this , let us remember that “A society truly welcomes life when it recognizes that it is also precious in old age, in disability, in serious illness and even when it is fading” (Pope Francis Message to the Pontifical Academy for Life, 19 February 2014).
