"May the crown of grace of your consecration shine without ceasing"
On July 16, the feast of the Virgen del Carmen, we arrived in Granada (San Gregorio) after the General Government convoked a group of sisters from the entire Institute, born in the decade from 1972 to 1982.
If something resonated in those first moments it was the laughter, the result of the reunion after so many years, and the different skin colors that invited us from the beginning to diversity, to the different, to the opening of different realities and lives but trapped by the same root, Jesus Christ the King.
A phrase from the Father "passed through" us from the beginning of these days: "May you polish the crown of grace of your consecration WITHOUT CEASING"
Our Consecration is the everything of each one of us, that is why they have been days where we have been allowed to “travel”, not perhaps to the bottom of the earth, but to the depths of our hearts. To touch and feel our being from the different dimensions that the person contains. Psychology, Spiritual, Institutional and charismatic dimension... A journey from letting our body feel to delving into the freedom that our consecration grants us.
Together with M General and the sisters of the Government: Fátima Falcón and Beatriz Ndour, M Luisa González, PVM and Salvador Ros OCD accompanied this time. Instruments that favored us on that interior journey that has allowed us to enliven and shine the gold of our consecration.
Quede como reseña estos ecos de lo vivido en esos días:
- From one's own fragility, even knowing that not everything is gold... put me as a seal on your heart!
- Called to grow, to be integral and balanced people, rivers of living water that fertilizes the land in drought. Always on the go. We are gift and task.
- Let God be the protagonist of our life. The person of Jesus integrates us.
- Thank you Father Gras for leaving us the traces of your life. For teaching us to look For writing with your life, Christ reigns in every moment.
- Inhabit and embrace our own vulnerability to make ourselves more human and more sisters to go out to meet others.
- Embracing vulnerability breeds mercy. The merciful look towards me and towards others... that is the style of Jesus.
- It is necessary to take a second inner journey to understand this stage and see God who is always in everything and by your side.
- Prayer is a personal EXPERIENCE of relationship with a YOU, who you know loves and looks at you. Essential for a joyful and full consecrated life that goes to the brothers.
- The gospel is announced by moving, walking, carrying light luggage at the service of the needs of others. What kind of me does God want to collaborate in his mission that always counts with my community?
GRATEFUL for so much received and SENT to make it known and COMMITTED to polish WITHOUT CEASING the crown of our consecration.
