PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND FOR JUBILARIANS

the whole pilgrimage was a renewal of our consecration, indeed, a renewal of our call to be Apostles and a constant invitation to renew our response to Love.

From April 21-29, we experienced wonderful days filled with blessings: 17 of us went on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. “Visiting” the places where God became flesh out of love for all humankind, where Jesus grew up and lived, where He showed us how to live as true children of God, where He so patiently formed His apostles, where He suffered and rose again for us..., was much more than “visiting”! It was “being visited” by God! As a group (there were 28 of us), we renewed our baptism at the Jordan, we also accompanied the renewal of the marriage vows of the 4 couples at Cana, and the question arose in so many as to where we would renew our consecration. This did not happen in any specific place or time. Yet, for me (and I think also for my Sisters),

There are not enough words to express our gratitude to our good God for this great gift! However, we can continue to express our gratitude to Mother Miriam and our Provincials who made it possible: thank you, thank you, so many thanks for this invitation that is so meaningful for each of us!

I personally want to thank each of my sisters: to experience this grace together with you was an extra gift! Thank you for your witness, for your joy, for your collaboration in every moment, and for being true sisters to each other. Thank you for sharing the tenderness of the Heart of Jesus!
