Today
we listened to a tape by Father Hardon on "The Cost of Sharing
Christ". It was based on the life and writings of St. Paul.
He bore trials, crosses and sufferings in order to make Christ known
and loved. This is also our life. We must be willing to put ourselves
aside for the love and good of others, especially for their eternal
salvation".

Being called to a life of consecration and being freed by the profession
of vows, the Sisters devote themselves to the service of the Church.
All Christians are called to love one another and share one another's
burdens, however, the religious has a special mandate to exemplify
the life and spirit of Christ in her service to mankind and to the
needs of the Church.

| In
the lives of the saints, the Sisters find beautiful examples of labor
for God. The work of the Sisters is whatever they are assigned to
by obedience. All their tasks should be done with care, with a loving
heart, as something fit for God. Every day is to be spent for Him,
in His presence. It is He who calls each to their duties, to prayer,
etc. Silently and unknown to others they ask His help to perform the
duty according to His Will. |
