Global Sisters Report is looking for panelists for the 2026-27 edition of The Life, starting in November. If you're interested in writing on your experiences in religious life, we would love to hear from you.
The Life - As 2026 gets underway, our sister panelists tell us: What has been your resolution for this new year? How are you doing with it? Are you keeping it or laughing at it?
The Life - At Christmas, generosity takes many forms — from simple acts of kindness to community celebrations. Sisters from around the world reflect on how expressions of generosity bring light to their ministries.
The new panelists begin the ninth year of The Life by answering this prompt: "Drawing from your experiences and the world around you, share a reflection or meditation on the theme of Advent."
Global Sisters Report's ninth year of The Life features a panel of 20 sisters who will take turns responding to a prompt or a question about spirituality, religious life and challenges of our world today.
"To live this vocation is to live in friendship — with God, with others, and with creation," one sister writes. "That friendship, ever deepening, remains the greatest gift of my vocation."
"God is just as present in the silence as in the joy," writes one sister. "He is patient with me, gentle in my struggle and faithful even when I falter."
