An Average Day in the Life of a Daughter of Mary:
The Daughters of Mary, Mother of Healing Love center their life around Jesus Christ in His Eucharistic Presence: the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and Eucharistic Adoration.
We begin our day with Adoration of Jesus in the most Blessed Sacrament
We begin and end our adoration time chanting the Sanctus and reciting the Fatima Prayer, "O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, Present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the sacrileges, outrages and indifference which He is offended. And by the infinite merits of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners..."
After about 10 minutes of Community Prayers (which includes a morning offering and a consecration to the Holy Spirit), we pray the office of morning prayer followed by a half hour of silent meditation on the Sacred Scriptures.
The holy sacrifice of the mass: our source & summit
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is considered to be the most important work of our day. It prepares us to remain in a spirit of prayer, spiritually present to Jesus in the Tabernacle. We go about our day keeping the Word of God within our hearts. It teaches us to converse with Jesus, seeking His guidance and Presence during work and our interactions with others.
apostolates & formation
After Mass - the Sisters go to their assigned apostolate’s while the Postulants and Novices receive formation and do other works around the convent. Silence is kept in the convent until lunch. Those who work locally join the Sisters at home for lunch (which begins with the Angelus) and then return back to their apostolates. Learn more about our Apostolates Here.
IN THE EVENING THE SISTERS GATHER together FOR Supper AND recreation
We consider hospitality an important part of Healing Love and, when we are able, we welcome friends of the Community to join us.
Evening prayers and eucharistic adoration
After a full day of working in the Lord's vineyard, we gather again for time with our Bridegroom. As a Community, we pray the Holy Rosary, the Office of Evening Prayer & Night Prayer, and have a silent Holy Hour of Adoration.
The Sisters find time during the day to pray the Office of Readings and the examination of conscience. Day prayer is optional. Each Sister also commits to at least 15 minutes of spiritual reading per day.
