yes ahe is our life, sweetness and hope.
Srs. Jeannie Humphries and Pat Schifini, along with other participants at the Leadership Conference for Women Religious (LCWR) 70th Anniversary Assembly, opened the final day of the gathering with 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐨 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤.
Rooted in the biblical story of Jericho, the Jericho Walk is a prayerful, nonviolent public witness centered on lament, justice, and hope. Participants made seven silent circuits, each reflecting LCWR’s commitment to Gospel values and Catholic social teaching.
Throughout the walk, lanterns of light and hope were placed in the center as symbols of a shared commitment to move from prayer and reflection into action. The ritual invited participants to lament the suffering and injustice in our world while holding fast to the hope that transformation is possible—a powerful reflection of the day’s theme, “𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞: 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞.” ...

Srs. Jeannie Humphries and Pat Schifini enter their third day at the Leadership Conference for Women Religious (LCWR) 70th Anniversary Assembly in Orlando, FL. Under the theme “Many Charisms, One Spirit, One Call,” today’s gatherings center on Conversations in the Spirit, inviting participants to reflect on the gifts religious life offers a wounded world, listen for God’s presence in our time, and consider how they are called to respond both mystically and prophetically. Through prayer, dialogue, and shared reflection, participants are strengthening their bonds across diverse religious communities while discerning together the future of religious life and its mission in the world. ...
