🚪✨ Today, OpenDoors! Our sisters in the United St 🚪✨ Today, OpenDoors!

Our sisters in the United States are celebrating 100 years of our presence 🎉

📅 April 1926: two sisters arrived to start a new mission in Philadelphia.

🏡 And it’s in Philadelphia, at our spiritual center, that those who know us are gathering today to celebrate all these years, all the sisters, and all the women and men who have contributed to bringing life — and life in abundance ✝️

🙏 So together with them all, let’s thank God for so much life!
News from Vietnam! 🇻🇳 A busy season across our com News from Vietnam! 🇻🇳
A busy season across our communities. From vocation promotion and novices preparing the first vows, from Da Nang where a new adventure begins. Love School and our student residence: a school year comes to a close. And across our communities, life keeps flourishing — 3 young women enter the postulancy, 2 postulants enter the novitiate!
So many reasons to give thanks.
Deo Gracias! 🙏

Vocation promotion

Novices on their way to first vows

3 pioneer Handmaids 🌊⛰️
A new adventure begins.
Responding to the call to repair, love, and accompany, three of our sisters set out for Da Nang — a vibrant city where the sea meets the mountains.
Rooted in the charism of the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, they carry one dream: to bring Jesus in the Eucharist to many, and to open spaces of adoration where every heart can encounter His tender, healing love.
Gather. Renew. Send forth. We trust the Heart of Jesus will keep doing this in Da Nang, and beyond.
May this mission become a beacon of hope. 🕊️

Ái Linh School of Love 🎓✨
Another year. Closed with joy.
Growth. Perseverance. Hope. That’s what defined 2025–2026 at Ái Linh — thanks to teachers, volunteers, and staff who showed up for every child, every step, every day.
Every lesson. Every smile. Every small win. Each one a mark of dignity, belonging, transformation.
One chapter closes. Another begins.
Walk forward, little ones — confident, kind, hearts full of hope. 🕊️

A new journey begins 🌱
Today, we celebrate 3 young women.
Discovering who they are — in God’s loving gaze. Inspired by Ignatian spirituality and the charism of reparation of Saint Raphaela Mary.
Like seeds planted in God’s garden, they’re invited to grow gently, receive His love, and become the unique gift each was created to be.
Rooted. Growing. Becoming. 🕊️

Two young women continue their journey with us 🌱
They’ve entered the novitiate.
Now welcomed into a community, they enter a time of deepening their vocational path — confirming the Lord’s call within the Congregation.
One more step. A call growing clearer.
May the Lord accompany them! 

From the Eucharistic Table to the Table of Friendship 💖

Two congregations at the same time: the province Andino-Caribeña and the Vietnam region 🇻🇳
Today, July 20 at 4pm (Vietnam time), our Vietnamese sisters began their regional congregation. First step: a retreat 🙏 To open hearts ❤️ To listen, deeply, to what the Spirit desires.
Tomorrow, July 21 at 2pm (Vietnam time), they’ll open their first session 📖
Let’s pray for them. And for our sisters of the Andean-Caribbean province. 🙏

Our sisters from the Andean-Caribbean province (Cu Our sisters from the Andean-Caribbean province (Cuba, Panama, Ecuador, and Colombia) gathered yesterday, July 18, for a day of integration, before entering retreat to open their provincial congregation. 
The theme of their day: « Knowing and recognizing one another. » Welcome, sharing… and a Master Chef-style cooking moment 👩‍🍳, to rediscover just how precious each sister is, with her own gifts. 
Their provincial congregation opens this Monday, July 20. Let’s accompany our sisters in prayer, that — as with every provincial congregation — it may be the Spirit who guides us. ✨

In the Northern Hemisphere, it’s summertime — that In the Northern Hemisphere, it’s summertime — that special season when we finally have more time.
We take the chance to do what we didn’t have time for during the year: travel, spend time with friends, family… And it’s often then that we see most clearly how present God is, in every moment!
But it’s good to set aside space for Him alone too. To take time to be silent, to let Him speak to our heart. After an often intense rhythm throughout the year, this time of re-centering is precious.

Will you take the step? 🙏 Write “SUMMER” in the comments and we’ll send you two prayers you can read and pray with.
Read the Bible too!

Have a wonderful summer, and happy praying!
(And for those in the Southern Hemisphere: you can ask for the
prayers too!)
New beginnings on the journey! On the feast of Sa New beginnings on the journey!

On the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, four of our postulants entered the novitiate in the Philippines (Tandang Sora). Two are from Congo (Félicité and Exaucée), one from Timor (Mónica),and the fourth is our first vocation from Indonesia (Ulin). Each one was given a cross and a plant. The plant is a symbol representing her vocation. They must care for it, with the help of the community. Before their entrance, they lived through a few days of triduum that prepared them much more deeply within.
So begins this time of deep discernment and confirmation of their vocation.

We pray earnestly for this time of deepening, that the Lord may accompany them, and that we may accompany them too with our prayers.

On the feast of the Sacred Heart, Khatlyn and Kie April, two young Filipino women, began their postulancy in our house in Naga.
And in the feast of Saint Thomas, Princia and Sanjita from India began their postulancy in the community of  Snehanilayam, Cochin, Kerala.

Thank you, Lord, and God’s blessings on each one’s journey! We pray for you all.
