Welcome to Let Love, a podcast with the Sisters of Life.

We invite you to join us for conversation, looking at life through the lens of love.

You are loved, you are made in God's image, and your life matters.

Let's talk about it.

Wow, welcome back, episode three of Let Love.

This is Sisters of Life and my name is Sister Mary Grace. I'm Sister Veritas and I am Sister Anne Imaculay. And we are halfway through. So it's such a gift to be with you all again. Can you believe it?

Can't believe it. Time flies. It really does. It feels like, you know, three weeks happened in like three days. It's amazing. Time flies when you have fun. Yeah. Well, this week we are talking about how to receive Holy Communion. But before we do, just, yeah, a little throwback. Back to Ascension, who is making Let Love possible this season, which is such a gift to be in collaboration with them. And before we kick off, just a sweet reminder to subscribe to our podcast.
