nine RSCJ, who are in Rome for probation
(a period of intensive preparation for final commitment),
received their name and devíse.
as the expression of your deepest experience.
Your name is:
LOVE THAT TRANSFORMS
And the devise that accompanies this name:
"Proclaim my love to all nations.
Do not be afraid, I am with you always."
LOVE THAT TRANSFORMS
PROCLAIM MY LOVE TO ALL NATIONS
DO NOT BE AFRAID. I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU
Like Philippine on the Rebecca... you are called to remain in the wave of God’s love, to allow yourself to be pulled beyond your internal and external comfort zones, to risk navigating new waters, to not be afraid and to place your total trust in God.... Like Philippine, too, the experience of living as a multi-cultural community and your international experiences in lands not your own have widened your horizons and revealed concretely the diversity of the pierced Heart of Jesus. You have tried to learn new languages and attune your ears to different accents and ways of expressing oneself. You have heard the cries of reality within the different cultures of your sisters, a call that hopefully will remain with you forever. Most importantly, you have taught each other to experience different and beautifully rich ways to know God. You are beginning to understand at a new level what it means to be and act as one Body.
