Within
this common vocation,
each one
receives her own unique call.
We
respond to it personally
in and
through our diverse cultures.
The
demands of mission and our spiritual background
necessarily
influence rhythms and forms of prayer.
Desiring
to keep God at the centre of our lives
we are
drawn to give one hour each day to prayer,
without
this time being considered in any sense a limit.
Each
religious finds her own rhythm of prayer
and will
decide how best she is to be faithful
to what
Christ asks of her and of the Society.
She will
discern the method and style of her prayer-life
with a
person of her own choice,
with the
agreement of the provincial or someone
delegated
by her.
The
Society offers its members the means necessary
for
their life of prayer, according to their needs:
among
others
-
spiritual
direction
-
reflection
with a religious of the Congregation
-
help
from the community
-
the
assurance of the necessary time and
space for prayer.
We are
invited to say the rosary
and to
adopt the forms of Marian devotion
proper
to the country in which we live.
My reflection on this will be tomorrow's blog, but one of the things I am most grateful for is that we always will have the means necessary for a life of prayer...
