We are posting the coloring pages from our 2019 Women of Faith retreat. Print them out and enjoy coloring with your morning coffee or give to the kids while religious education classes are halted.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. — Ephesians 2:10 NIV

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. — Proverbs 31:30 NIV

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. — Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

Divine Mercy Chaplet

I came across this booklet on the Divine Mercy, made from our ACTS days. I miss those long weekends of spending time with God and my sisters. Those times really helped heal my spirit and strengthen relationships. Words cannot describe how utterly blessed I am to call you sisters.

This is a time where we can use some Divine Mercy. So let’s share this prayer with each other. The booklet is meant to be printed double sided and folded down the middle. Hope you enjoy.

Note: If you’d like to use it for a retreat or religious group, you have my permission to re-purpose it only if distributed for free.
