Daily the Sisters participate in the communal celebration of the Eucharist; heeding the directive in their Constitutions that "they should daily seek refreshment and strength by receiving their Eucharistic Lord in Holy Communion so that they may walk with Him in fidelity to all He commands" (#47). Once a Sister is nourished by receiving our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament can she take Him to all she meets.
To mark the hours of the day, the Sisters meet for the celebration of the Liturgy of the Hours. This is where "Christ joins the community and the entire Church to Himself" (IHM Constitutions, #45).
Each Sister strives to make the Liturgy a worthy praise of her Beloved. She also strives to live the liturgical life.
