A member of Sisters in Jesus the Lord always has the above
words of her Bridegroom on her heart as she goes about her chosen
work. Our Lord so desires for all mankind to know Him,
follow Him, and accept His mercy
and love so that His children may rejoice with Him for all
eternity.
Do you have a pioneer spirit? We
invite women who are interested in religious life
to come and join us, to share in our community's exciting work "to bring
Jesus to people and people to Jesus" worldwide. After 2000 years there are still many people, even whole nations,
who do not know Him or His Holy Church!

We have a brother community, the Canons Regular of Jesus
the Lord, who are located in Vladivostok, Russia;
http://www.vladmission.org.
Sisters in Jesus the Lord currently has four members and an army of lay
volunteers here in the United States.
Please pray with us about making our Mother
Mary's dream of reviving the Faith in her beloved Russia, as well as
in the United States and other countries, a reality. New
converts given the seed of faith are capable of the great task of
starting to build, or in some nations, rebuild the Church. The
fledgling parishes in Russia, where we already have an invitation to
work, are eager for us to come. Many countries
are ripe for the Gospel. Now is the time.
As Holy Mother Church advises, “We exhort
all evangelizers, whoever they may be, to pray without ceasing to
the Holy Spirit with faith and fervor and to let themselves
prudently be guided by Him as the decisive inspirer of their plans,
their initiatives, and their evangelizing activity” (Evangelii
Nuntiandi, 75). The Holy Spirit will bless those who ask His
guidance, making them instruments of evangelization: “Samuel grew
up, and the Lord was with him not permitting any word of his to be
without effect” (1 Samuel 3:19).
