Zoomed While in Quarantine

It’s been a little while, but the Daughters finally reconnected via Zoom and recorded another episode of the podcast! We discuss what we’ve been up to during this strange time, talk about the joys and struggles of social isolation, and share the ways we’ve been staying close to God. We look at 1 Peter 5:8-10, in which St. Peter exhorts his readers to remain vigilant and steadfast amidst suffering, knowing that our brothers and sisters around the world are undergoing the same trials.

Whatever your experience has been like, you are not alone. These moments of struggle and solitude are the seeds of sainthood. You are in our prayers; please keep us in yours!

Questions to ponder:
What temptation are you facing during this time of pandemic and isolation? How can you resist it?

"For us [the sacraments] are the prescribed means to grace, and we cannot receive them eagerly enough. But God is not bound to them. At the moment when some external force were to cut us off from receiving the sacraments, he could compensate us, superabundantly, in some other way; and he will do so all the more certainly and generously the more faithfully we have adhered to the sacraments previously."
-St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
