Our Relationship With God

Saint Emilie wrote:

“The essential thing is to keep oneself united to God.”

She also knew that prayer could be difficult and encouraged her Sisters to keep on working at their relationship with God even when it seemed pointless. She often reminded them that God was with them in every situation in life.

“God speaks to his friends whenever he wants, all times and places are suitable for prayer.  In the garden as much as in the Church, you can pray, you can unite yourself with him and hear his voice.”
— Saint Emilie

Today the Holy Family Sisters recognise that our relationship with God in prayer is fundamental for our life.  Without prayer we will accomplish nothing.  Each day we take time to build our relationship with God and each day in community we bring before God the needs and hopes of our brothers and sisters throughout the world.
