Presentation Sisters USA

We are an international community of #Catholic Sisters living the #Gospel and participating in the mission of Jesus in the spirit of our foundress, Nano Nagle.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Everything falls into ruin without faith, and faith is extinguished without #Prayer. Therefore, as the home and school of communion, the Church is the home and school of prayer. #YearOfPrayer

Prayer for Water

Almighty God, you who are
present in the whole universe and in the smallest of your creatures,
You who surround with your
tenderness all that exists,
pour out upon us the power of
your love so that we may care for life and beauty.
Teach us to discover the value of
each and every thing,
to contemplate with wonder,
to recognise that we are deeply
united with all creatures on our
way to your infinite light.
Amen

The Spirit guides us, enlightens us, and strengthens us. He helps us walk through life, even amid adversity and difficulty, in joy and sorrow, while remaining on Jesus’ path.

[Proverbs @DivineProverbs]

When you are weak, allow the Lord to be your strength.

Day 4 - May 22
Renewable Energy Wednesday

“At present it is possible to achieve improved energy efficiency while at the same time encouraging research into alternative forms of energy” (Caritas in Veritate, 49. Benedict XVI, 2009).

Power generation is the largest source of greenhouse gases worldwide, with fossil fuels responsible for approximately 65% of these emissions. (Source: International Energy Agency).

If we increase the share of energy generated from renewable sources to 36% by 2030, we could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than a third and limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius, as agreed in the Paris Agreement.

Lord, source of wisdom and love

Illuminate our hearts
To recognise the richness of the renewable energies you have bestowed upon us. Inspire us to adopt and promote their use in our daily lives, decreasing our reliance on fossil fuels.
Help us to care for our common home, fostering a cleaner and more sustainable future for all.
Amen

[Proverbs @DivineProverbs]

There's nothing that you can't overcome with God on your side.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Our #Hope is born from love and based on the love springing from the pierced Heart of Jesus upon the cross. The Holy Spirit keeps the light of hope burning like a perpetual lamp, to sustain and invigorate our lives.

[Pres Sisters NE @PresSisNE]

"I will praise you,Lord, among the nations; I will tell of your name to my kin!" (Ps. 17:50; 21:23).

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

In the face of a future that may seem dark, let us strive to sow hope and do good, in the conviction that life can be lived differently and that peace is possible. #GeneralAudience

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The #AscensionOfTheLord tells us that Jesus is alive among us in a new way. He is now present in every place and time, and is close to each of us. We are never alone: we have an Advocate who guides us, waits for us, and defends us.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us even now be drawn by hope! Through our witness, may hope spread to all those who anxiously desire it. May our lives say to them: “Hope in the Lord! Hold firm, take heart, and hope in the Lord!” (Ps 27:14). #Jubilee2025

International Presentation Symposium https://t.co/Sngm4huQnO via @PresSisNE
Today, 23 April is a very special day, in a very special week that will culminate in celebration, prayer and thanksgiving for the life and charism of Venerable Nano Nagle, on her death anniversary on Friday 26th April.

It is fitting that we also have a special coming together of Presentation people from Presentation schools in Australia and Ireland, to share and hear each other��s presentation story in their particular school setting.

This International Symposium 2024 with Irish and Australian schools sharing the charism and legacy of our Presentation founder, Ven.Nano Nagle, took place in the Acorn Centre Warrenmount (Dublin).
The programme for the day allowed participants to have rich and significant exchanges as well as the chance to meet fellow presentation schools leaders in educational contexts.
Thank you to all who participated so generously and so fully in this day, and to all who made it possible, and especially huge thanks for allowing us to share in this through the wonderful images and comments shared with us.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

If we open our hearts to the Holy Spirit, He will revive the theological virtues within us. If we have lost trust, God will reopen us to faith. If we are discouraged, God will reawaken hope within us. If our heart is hardened, God will soften it with His love. #GeneralAudience

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us never lose sight of the Father's saving embrace. It is the paradigm of life, the heart of the Gospel, our model of radical love. May we allow Him to embrace us as children, so that we may embrace our brothers and sisters with the same charity.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The World Day of #PrayerForVocations invites us to reflect on the precious gift of the call that the Lord extends to each of us. May we participate in His loving plan and incarnate the beauty of the Gospel in all states of life.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us awake, set aside our indifference, and open the bars of the prisons in which we have sometimes shut ourselves. May each of us discover our #Vocation in the Church and in the world, becoming pilgrims of hope and artisans of peace!

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Our generation has bequeathed many riches, but we have failed to protect the planet and we are not safeguarding peace. We are called to become artisans and caretakers of our common home, the Earth which is "falling into ruin." #EarthDay
