Good Shepherd Sunday 🐑✨ “I am the good shepherd… I Good Shepherd Sunday 🐑✨
“I am the good shepherd… I know my sheep” (Jn 10:14)
Not gonna lie… we all want to feel seen.
Known. Loved for real.
Jesus calls Himself the “good shepherd” — not “Instagram perfect” 😅
but real love. Loyal. All in. Even giving His life.
👉 What if following Him actually makes life better?
Even when life feels messy:
stress, pressure, injustice…
that’s exactly where this hits different.
💡 This week:
pause.
log off for a minute.
take time with God.
Stop.
Breathe.
Listen.
Let Him see you.
Faith isn’t stuck.
It’s a journey. Built step by step.
🔥 Your move: one small step this week?

Lord, You are risen! ✨ And yet, I am like those pi Lord, You are risen! ✨
And yet, I am like those pilgrims on the road to Emmaus 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️
When You don’t meet my expectations of “saving the world,” I walk away… What’s the point? 🤷‍♀️
But You always come to meet me 🤍
You walk with me, You listen to me 👂, You enlighten my heart 💡
You reveal that God’s plan goes far beyond my own 🌿
In the broken and shared bread 🍞, You make Yourself known
And You lift me up, You set me back on the road 🔥
You send me to proclaim the Good News 📖, to live and love within my community 🫶
Mgr Ruiz once said that if we, Catholics, have not felt the absence of the Eucharist and community, it may be because we have not truly lived them deeply…
The joy of the Risen One 😇… have we shared it too little?
So, let’s take up the challenge 💪
This week, share with your community the joy of belonging 🏡
Show through your life how the Eucharist is a necessity for you… a source of life 💛

✨ “Anchored in Peace and perfected in Love” 💛 On A ✨ “Anchored in Peace and perfected in Love” 💛
On April 14 📅, anniversary (149 years 🎉) of the approval by the Church ⛪ of our first community in Madrid 🏛️, our sisters Ayana and Ashna said their definitive yes to the Lord 🤍
Following the example of the first sisters 🌿, may Ashna and Ayana make the will of God their only compass 🧭 … to live and overcome the obstacles they may encounter along their path ⛰️
May they remain at every moment ✨ “Anchored in Peace and Perfected in Love” 💫
Celebrate with us Ashna and Ayana! 🎉💬

Today we celebrate an important moment 🎉: 149 year Today we celebrate an important moment 🎉: 149 years ago, our very first community was founded in Madrid! ✨
After quite a journey from Córdoba 🚶‍♀️, the sisters finally arrived in Madrid… and settled at 12 Calle de la Bola 🏡🙏
From there, St. Raphaëlle Mary 🤍 made a request to the Church ⛪ to found a first community.
And the archbishop accepted! 🙌
Can you imagine their joy? 😄
In today’s reading from the Acts of the Apostles 📖:
“The community of believers was of one heart and one soul ❤️
[…] they had everything in common 🤝
With great power, the Ancelles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus ✨
and abundant grace rested upon them all 🌿”
Happy feast to everyone! 🎉🙏

The Lord appears to the disciples ✨ and says to th The Lord appears to the disciples ✨ and says to them: “Peace be with you” 🕊️
He has already come to meet them… and yet, they still struggle to believe.
Even Thomas, absent that day but hearing the others, still doubts… And the Lord comes especially for him 🤍
This week, I lived this experience.
I was locked in my upper room 🔒, in the heart of my storm 🌊, with my fears and my questions.
But one thing brought me deep peace 🤍:
knowing that He would also come for me.
Not necessarily in a visible or spectacular way,
but in the way I need ✨
🌿 He meets each person personally
🌿 He even enters through my closed doors 🚪
So, in this Easter time ✝️✨,
I wish you with all my heart:
🙏 May the Lord come into YOUR reality
🙏 May He enter YOUR upper room
🙏 May He give you His peace 🕊️
Happy Easter to all! 🌅
And a blessed Divine Mercy Sunday 🤍

Today we’re talking about trusting the invitations we receive 👂
Learning to listen to those around us, those who love us 🤍
Trust their invitations.
God sends people to speak to us, so let’s trust… and like we said in the previous reel: Give it a go!
At worst, it won’t speak to you… and you’ll know.
So, let’s go forward with confidence 🚶‍♀️
And give yourself the chance of an encounter that might change your life… you don’t know how
