GRATEFUL FOR OUR VOCATION
Yesterday, World Day of consecrated life, we lived a full and blessed day. The Association of Major Religious Superiors in the Philippines invited us to a solemn online Eucharist celebration, presided over by His Excellency Archbishop Charles J Brown, Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines in the framework of thanksgiving for the 500 years of presence of faith in the country.
At 11 am our Community gather in the Chapel of the Novitiate to have the Initiation to religious life of 2 postulants from Myanmar: Josephine and Francisca. What a joy to share together the beauty of our vocation and to experience the gratefulness for these new shoots in the Tree of Consolation!!
Again, the Association of Major Religious Superiors summons us in the afternoon from 3-5pm to a webinar where the Master of the Order of Preachers, Rev. Fr. Gerard P. Timoner III, O.P., shared his reflections in a conference entitled “Quo Vadis: Lights, Shadows, and New Frontiers for Consecrated Men and Women” followed by the sharing of impressions and reactions in 4 members of different forms of Consecrated life.
The words of our Mother Foundress remind us the gratefulness for the gift of consecrated life “If we knew the great benefit of having been called by the Lord…we would be very grateful”
