Among those present were the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary, who were in Rome preparing for their General Chapter. Pope John Paul II addressed the RSHM Sisters and offered them his prayer and encouragement as they prepared for this important moment in the life of the Institute. Today, 46 years later, we remember this meaningful encounter and share the Pope\u2019s words and prayer with you. We are grateful to Vatican Radio for this treasured recording, preserved as part of our history.
