WOMEN OF PRAYER


I BEQUEATH TO YOU THE SPIRIT OF PRAYER

Marie Rivier    


All baptized persons bear within themselves the secret of happiness:  God dwells in them!  Marie Rivier lived intensely this presence of God.  Therein she found the place of the continual prayer requested by Jesus in the Gospel:  Watch and pray at all times.

Lk 21:36  
  

Learn to converse with God at the bottom of your heart.
Marie Rivier  

 

 
A prayer-filled moment - Japan 


Our personal and community prayer is always inserted in the prayer of the Church. 
It is united with all Christians in Christ Jesus.
 

Liturgical prayer
gives inspiration to our whole life.
This respiration, set as it is
to the rhythm of Christ's Body,
ensures equilibrium
and spiritual vigor.

Praying to God is welcoming his love and offering him ours in a purely gratuitous encounter.  This mysterious relationship lived in faith, transforms our whole life, giving it fullness, joy, apostolic fruitfulness.


God gave me for prayer, the greatest faith and the surest hope.
                                                   Marie Rivier
         


For Marie Rivier, prayer, adoration and apostolic zeal are intimately linked. 
It is in the company of Jesus Christ that one communes to
his passionate love for the whole of humanity.

The Congregation has a few houses of prayer.
