[Mt 19, 21]
Vocation is a gift of God. The basis of religious life is a proper reading of this divine call and a free and selfless response from the called person. Every Catholic girl who wishes to sacrifice herself to God, has a good intention, is fit for religious life and free from canonical obstacles can be admitted to our Congregation.
By entering the Congregation, each of us had a desire to be closer to Jesus and Mary and to improve love in their example. Every activity we do and everything we do for others is just a means to nurture this love of God for us and to all people.
Confession of a husband who did not follow the Lord
Ladies
Many years ago,
I will meet you on the way to Jerusalem.
It was early spring.
Almond trees bloomed.
I remember that moment when I approached you,
I asked what I should do,
To be perfect.
You said I should sell
All my wealth,
Money to give away to the poor
And follow you.
I was saddened.
I was afraid.
I went home.
And now I’m an old man,
I have a large family,
My fortune multiplied in two,
People find me happy,
But I feel a severe emptiness within myself,
Hungry
And hopelessness,
Which even my closest
I’m afraid,
They would definitely laugh at me.
Years have passed,
And still I cannot forget
That spring,
My question
And flowering almond trees.
[Roman Brandstatter]
