September is here, and with it, the rush of new routines. 📚✏️ Kids are back in school, activities are picking up, and life feels like it’s moving full speed ahead. In the middle of the busyness, our theme this month, Living From Rest, is a gentle reminder that true peace doesn’t come from crossing off to-do lists but from abiding in Jesus.That’s why we’re encouraging small groups to dive into our Scripture study on the Gospel of John, Abide in His Love. We'll also be doing an 8-week Virtual Bible Study on our Youtube Channel this month (and even into October!), chatting about it every Tuesday at 1pm ET starting September 9! We would love for you to subscribe and join us weekly! 🙌🏽 Here's your reading plan: New This Month We're also especially excited about the launch of our Calendar Year 2026 Planner! 📔✨It’s more than a tool for organizing your days, it’s a way to journey alongside thousands of Catholic women who are using it too. Together, it becomes a movement of faith and sisterhood, a daily reminder that you’re never walking with God alone. (Plus, monthly planner hangouts in our Member Community make it even more fun!) We’re also thrilled to share that our Eucharist study, Gift, now has a version just for teens! 🙌 A perfect way to invite young people into small groups and encounter Jesus in the Eucharist. And this month, the Church invites us to walk closely with Our Lady of Sorrows. Her steadfast faith in suffering reminds us that God is present even in the hardest moments, carrying us with His love. So as September speeds up, let’s keep moving forward, not stressed out, but steady in Him because He is steady and present. In Him we find our rest. 💜 Click here to download your phone wallpaper.
