Transitioning for IHM’s
• Look at your gifts and skills – Rekindle your passion and dreams
• How do the choices I make today/we make today affect persons who are in need in our time?
What choices must we make as we live out our commitment to God and God’s people?

• This new reality involves a corporate grieving of what we have let go
and a corporate gratitude for what God is revealing that we should hold onto, the essence of our lives together
