Hi, this is Sister Miriam James and we are excited to announce to you that we are going to do one more document study before season 3 ends.

So on June 4th, we are going to officially begin a three-part series on Pope Francis' new Apostolic Exortation titled Gaudette et exeultate,

which is awesome because it means rejoice and be glad. And it's on the topic of the call to holiness in today's world.

So you can find this document in a variety of places. You can find it for free on the Vatican website. You can find it on Amazon.com.

You can find it on the Paul line, the daughter of Saint Paul Paul line online bookstore, which is Paul line.org.

And you can find it probably in your local Catholic bookstore. So we just wanted to give you a heads up and let you know we're going to start that.

So you can purchase your copy of Gaudette et exeultate and join us on the journey. So we're looking forward to beginning that with you on Monday, June 4th.

So grab your copy and join us. We'll see you then.
