Our hearts are filled with so much joy to celebrate today’s Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi)!! We delight in the gift of the Eucharist as the source and summit of our lives.

//

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within your wounds conceal me.
Do not permit me to be parted from you.
From the evil foe protect me.
At the hour of my death call me
And bid me come to you
That with your saints I may praise you
For ever and ever. Amen.

-Anima Christi

In this month dedicated to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we find strength and peace in “this Heart which has so loved men that it has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming itself, in order to testify its love.”

Please join us as we pray a novena to the Most Sacred Heart beginning today and ending on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart on June 12th.

United in prayer, we are entrusting the 2026 GIVEN Forum in Washington, D.C., from June 24th-28th and all those participating to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

If you’d like to pray with us, you can find the daily prayer here:https://giveninstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/GIVEN_sacred_heart_novena.pdf

Join us in celebrating and praying for Montse Alvarado, GIVEN Board Member, Forum Speaker, and friend, as she prepares for her new role as Prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication.

Montse is a radiant example of a Catholic woman leader, a disciple of Jesus Christ who, receptive to the grace of God the Father and boldly responding to the Holy Spirit, is fruitful for the Kingdom through a life of prayer, virtue, and giving of herself and her gifts in service of others.

Enjoy this clip from her keynote at the 2024 GIVEN Forum! We are so excited that she will return to speak at the 2026 GIVEN Forum and inspire hundreds of women leaders to activate their gifts to bless their families, communities, society, the Church, and the world.

Comment down below your best wishes to Montse. 💗

St. Joan of Arc is remembered as a young and fearless leader who inspired others to goodness and courage.

She inspired the transformation of heart and the pursuit of courage and holiness among the most hardened of military leaders, soldiers, and observers. Despite her youth, lack of military training, and the fact that she was a female, she commanded respect and impressed others with her purity and goodness.

Be inspired and be fearless! God has called you to a special mission to serve our Church!

St. Joan of Arc, pray for us.

What are the 4 fundamental cornerstones of the foundation?

In her 2020 Discover the Gift Keynote, Mother Gloria Therese, OCD, wisely offers us how to realize the gifts we’ve been given.

She reminds us that God meticulously gives us a foundation upon which to receive and build the gifts that He’s given to us.

It begins with the Father who wants to show us who we are…

This is just a sneak peek of the abundant wisdom and formation to be poured out at our June 2026 Leadership Forum.

So many amazing speakers from all backgrounds will be joining us, and we can’t wait for you to meet them in person! 💕

In the meantime…

Watch Mother Gloria Therese’s full talk (link in bio) & save this post to remember the 4 cornerstones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAjfsr7hONQ&t=1589s

The gift of complementarity…

Between man and woman reveals the interwoven truth and gifts about our identity and mission.

We need one another.

Come, Holy Spirit! 🕊️

We celebrate the beautiful solemnity of Pentecost, and we have a special opportunity to reflect and open our hearts and know that God is TRULY with us.

He is within you.

Today, take some time to pray to the Holy Spirit and ask for His guidance to follow His way, hear your call, and respond with your gifts.

//

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Amen.

I surrender…

I am a prophet of a future that is not my own.

My work and mission are Yours.

Lord, enter and do the rest.

Save this for when you need a reminder that God is in control and will take care of each step, concern, desire, and outcome.
