This month has been a time of grace and depth in our journey of preparation for perpetual vows. Together, we had the opportunity to reflect and delve into three fundamental themes: the history and theology of consecrated life, community life and the legacy of our founders.
Each day was marked by fraternal sharing, study and group work.
The reflection on the theology of consecrated life was for us a light that allowed us to contemplate our vocation from God's point of view and to understand its raison d'être without judgment or fear.
The theme of community life led us to review its profound meaning and all that it implies, in the light of the writings of our founders. This re-reading gave us back the certainty and hope that it is possible to build an authentic fraternal community, where love and service are the basis of our living together.
One of the most enriching moments was the study of the history of our congregation. Looking back allowed us to relive and deepen our roots, discovering in the lives of our founders the imprint of God and the spiritual richness that they have left us as an inheritance.
We ended the month with the presentation of each territory where our congregation is present. It was a space of great learning, where we shared the reality of our region, province and territories, their missions, challenges and hopes. Among the territories presented were:
-
Chile and Paraguay.
-
Philippines, India and Indonesia
-
Mozambique
-
Democratic Republic of Congo
-
Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and Mexico
This month has been for us a true gift, a time of growth and inner renewal. We feel deeply grateful for this opportunity and we walk with joy and confidence towards the profession of our perpetual vows, knowing that God continues to guide every step of this beautiful love story.
