20 June – World Refugee Day:

“Perhaps you can can look me in the eyes, open the door, give me a hand, help me to walk. Perhaps, if we each give something of ourselves, we might even become friends.” ~Tere Iribarren rscj (ESP)

A gathering of young religious was held on May 2-3, 2015 in Paris, as part of the Year of Consecrated Life.

This prayer is based on the words of Jesus: “My peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you; a peace the world cannot give. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid” (John 14:27). It is the response in faith of our elderly Sisters in the Province of Mexico.

“… I sit in quietness, and in trust in God’s fidelity and presence. And within and by that I am strengthened – not by lovely insights or experiences, just by being with God.” ~ Silvana Dallanegra rscj (ENW)

Maria Cimperman rscj reflects on three questions: 1) From what must the world awaken? (Wake up from what?); 2) What must the world awaken to? (Wake up to what?); 3) How shall you offer your charism very particularly this year to console and to rejoice?

“The call is to everyone living consecrated life, to look at the world around us, consider the gift of charism and vocation we each received for the church and world, and consider how we may offer it in a particular way during this Year of Consecrated Life. I offer here some fruits of prayer, reflection and conversation.” – Maria Cimperman rscj

“Through all stages of our life our prayer invites us to the depths of God.” (2008 General Chapter)

“In the spirit of our ‘Cor Unum’ I would like to share with you my experience of making my retreat with all the sisters of my province of Argentina-Uruguay.” ~ Silvana Ferez rscj
