From the Renewal Course, so that you can continue to accompany us in the journey we are making, we want to share with you that we have started the proposed formative contents. We feel privileged to be able to reread the History of the Congregation , accompanied by our sister María Dolores Giménez , Lola, because she is an active and protagonist part of this history.
Lola proposed us to make this tour in three periods or stages. Each stage occupied a day in which we were able to travel through 50 years of times, places and people . The invitation was to “find “the” history, to find myself “with” history and to find myself “in” history” because, as she stated without hesitation: “the tree that forgets its roots cannot bear fruit”. This contact with our origins and the process we have lived through to reach our present day brings us back to the fundamentals by embracing our roots, and allows us to dream of the future by living our present with creative responsibility.
These days, reviewing the history of the Congregation, we have felt very grateful for the admirable fidelity and commitment of the sisters who have preceded us, founding the Congregation, expanding it, defending our spirituality and charism, adapting it to the times and cultures; because, knowing the history helps us to know where we come from, where we are and where we are going. We feel sent to continue forging that history with our life, which we hope will have new readers.
We finish this first part of our course with much gratitude, feeling the communion, belonging and union of spirits that what we have seen and heard has provoked in us. Yesterday, Thursday 21, we began with the Jolanta Kafka, rmi Jolanta Kafka, rmi, to deepen our understanding of “Consecrated Life today”. She placed us in the reality of the world, of the Church and of Religious Life, from statistics to mysticism, in a reflective and prayerful rhythm. It is with great enthusiasm that we open ourselves to this new excursion, with Jolanta, through the reality of Religious Life today.
We will let you know.
