“Yahweh your God is here with you.
He will rejoice over you with happy song,
he will renew you by his love” (Zeph 3:17)
Twenty RSCJ from fourteen countries have met in Sophie’s birth place for a six-week Renewal Programme — space to be and to allow God, present in our lives and the life of the Society, to transform us by His love.
We have spent time discovering the richness of the house’s story, opening us to a new relationship with Sophie, and sessions beginning to glimpse something of the giftedness each one brings.
