Consecrated Life Day

luz  As usual from almost 19 years, on the 2nd of Febbruary we Claretian Sisters join the Church in the celebration of the day dedicated to the Consecrated Life in her variety of forms and mission. Renewing our vows of the evangelical counsels in all our communities, we feel particularly inspired by the words of Pope Francis from his homily:

   "Jesus came not to do his own will, but the will of the Father. This way, he tells us, was his “food” (cf. Jn 4:34). In the same way, all those who follow Jesus must set out on the path of obedience, imitating as it were the Lord’s “condescension” by humbling themselves and making their own the will of the Father, even to self-emptying and abasement (cf. Phil 2:7-8). For a religious person, to progress is to lower oneself in service. A path like that of Jesus, who “did not count equality with God something to be grasped.”: to lower oneself, making oneself a servant, in order to serve."

From the origins of the Congregation this day was devoted to renew our promises. we are gald to do it in communion with the whole Church.
