Summary

All of us experience moments of poverty in different ways. Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Anne Immaculée, and Sr. Veritas delve into the theme of poverty and explore how poverty and powerlessness can bring us closer to God. They share their own experiences of letting go and reflecting on the blessings hidden in our weaknesses. The Sisters challenge us to embrace our own poverty with trust and gratitude, finding deeper intimacy with Christ as we learn to depend on God.

This season of Let Love is produced in collaboration with Ascension.

"God never wants us to be discouraged by our poverty in any way."
