Dear Maria Nguyen thi Thu Hang, Teresa Nguyen thi Minh Chau
Maria Nguyen thi Lich, Anna Đau thi Sinh, Maria Nguyen thi Hue,
Mdalena Nguyen thi Hong Phan Anna Do thi Vui
Maria Nguyen thi Thanh Phuong, Maria Nguyễn thị Ngoc Lan,
On this special day, you all officially make your definite commitment to God, I wish you to be filled with Holy Spirit; without Holy Spirit, God is far away.
Here I also like to share with this very short expressions on our 3 vows:
Poverty is about exercising stewardship over the goods of creation according to the equality and integrity of the Gospel.
- A Call for justice – mutual sustainability
Chastity is about engaging with the daily struggle and challenge of authentic sexual and relational growth.
- A Call for love, a new way of relating.
Obedience is about exploring and proffering ever new ways to engage responsibly, collaboratively, and creatively with the issues of powers & powerlessness that we encounter in daily life.
- A Call for limitless listening. Finally listening to the Father’s will.
Fr. Nicolas Adolf (previous Superior General of S.J. just passed away a few days ago) said: the way of Trinitarian ecological movement are:
Where there is suffering there is Jesus,
Where there are loving dances there is Holy Spirit,
Where there is mystical silence there is Father.
These 3 dimensions are inter-related
in the process of communion with the creation.
May we follow
Mary of the Passion’s example
and be open to the grace
that is being given,
to fully participate
in this reconciling action
of the Spirit,
bringing us the healing,
forgiveness and inner freedom
so necessary
for our own selves,
for our lives together
and for the mission
of the Institute
in the world.
(Letter Nr 4)
“ To share what one has is nothing if one does not give oneself.” - St. Louise M.
On your special day my prayers will be with you all !
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your future missions.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand!
And trust in our Loving God who is always behind each one of you !
