Summary

 Finding time for leisure in our lives often feels like a battle, for the enemy uses many distractions to prevent us from experiencing communion with God and others. As we enter Holy Week and come to the end of this season, Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, and Sr. Marie Veritas reflect on the spiritual battle behind leisure. The Sisters encourage us to overcome the resistance to rest by contemplating Jesus' immense love for us demonstrated on the Cross—He is the ultimate reason for our rest.

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

So we're going to try and tell it about that I think is just a great image of leisure and what happens in our hearts when we attempt to take it. So about August, the sister's going to help me out saying it because it's really such a very tough story, but I absolutely love it and I love talking about it because it gives me the giggles so many times. But basically, every August we have, you know, if the Lord invites an amount of sisters to lay down their lives in perpetual profession. We have, like, you know, what we'd also called their wedding day on August 6th, the Transfiguration. But there was one unique year, and usually we're at St. Patrick's Cathedral now.
