  • The newly professed RSCJ receives a candle as she is sent to her mission.

 

"Only this will make our lives fruitful and keep our hearts alive: putting Jesus where he belongs, in the midst of his people....

Putting Jesus in the midst of his people means having a contemplative heart, one capable of discerning how God is walking through the streets of our cities, our towns and our neighbourhoods. Putting Jesus in the midst of his people means taking up and carrying the crosses of our brothers and sisters. It means wanting to touch the wounds of Jesus in the wounds of a world in pain, which longs and cries out for healing."

Pope Francis
