The Importance of Rest and How to Attain It (with the Sisters of Life)

Do you find time to truly rest? Is it challenging to allow yourself moments of leisure? The lives of most people are very busy and full of noise. However, it is essential in our relationship with God to find moments of rest. Dr. Edward Sri is joined by Sr. Marie Veritas and Sr. Ann Immaculée of the Sisters of Life to discuss the importance of rest and how to build it into your daily lives.

Leisure and rest are not a luxury but a necessity.

Who Are the Sisters of Life?

The Sisters of Life are a contemplative/active Roman Catholic community of women religious, who profess the three traditional vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and a fourth vow to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life. We were founded by Cardinal John O’Connor in New York in 1991, and received formal approbation as a religious institute in 2004, under Cardinal Edward Egan. We currently serve in the dioceses of New York, Albany, Bridgeport, Philadelphia, Denver, Phoenix, Washington, D.C., and Toronto, Canada. Our missions include serving women who are vulnerable to abortion, giving them the support and resources to be able to choose life for themselves and their children; hosting weekend retreats; evangelization; outreach to college students; and helping women who have suffered after abortion to encounter the mercy and healing of Jesus Christ.
