A time for
welcoming |
God is Love!
This is the great news of the Gospel,
Good News!
But who
will believe it, if this gratuitous love of the Lord is not
visibly lived by Christians? A religious community is a
place where one wants to say to everyone: "Look! love
exists! God loves you!"
|
|
Like the Holy Trinity, may all
of you
be so united that you form only one heart!

Let us come together!
These words of Marie Rivier
laid the foundation for
the first community;
they have spanned the centuries.
Today we still remain together
because of Jesus Christ. |
A time for
planning |
|
A
time for sharing
|
|
In community, He calls us
-to listen to His Word,
-to share our faith
-to help one another live the Gospel,
-to reflect on our mission,
-to go forward together on the path
of love,
according to the grace given
to us at our origins. |

|
We did
not choose one another. God is our Father, why not live
as sisters? To welcome our differences, to put
everything in common, to form a large family, as signs that
the Kingdom is already here!
Such is the adventure proposed to us. |
| |
|
To love one another in act
and in truth... with a love that is humble and strong,
considerate and gratuitous, tender and merciful... prompt
to be reconciled in Christ, our peace.
Rule of Life |

|
A time to say:
"Good-bye" |
|
Daily the community
experiences
forgiveness given and received.
At
the Eucharist especially,
the resurrected Jesus
unceasingly recreates our unity.
With Him, the
love that lasts and grows becomes possible. |
