Dear Sisters,
Today gathering in the Cenacle together with Mary, Queen of the Apostles, our Mother and Patron, we pray for the blessing of the Lord and the gifts of the Holy Spirit for each Pallottine Sister and all members of the Union, that we may be faithful to the Lord with love and become zealous apostles in today's world.
Rome, Easter 2018
Dear Sisters,
Today, on the solemn Feast of the Resurrection, we again hear Christ's call PEACE BE WITH YOU! Peace, which is the fruit of the Resurrection, is a deep and complete reconciliation of man with God, with himself and with other people.
The Risen Lord, at the cost of his own life, restores the world wounded by sin, bestowing on it harmony, love and beauty.
"This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!" Mark 9:7
Dear Sisters,
With this letter and words full of hope and love, I would like to invite you to join in with open heart and mind to the Renewing Life Program. We certainly need a deep reflection on our life and for re-vision of our religious reality. We need anew to learn the truth about our consecrated life.
Presentation of the Lord
2 February 2018
Dear Sisters,
Today, 2nd February, when we celebrate the Presentation of the Lord and the World Day for Consecrated Life, I think of each one of you with gratitude and present you to the Lord. On this occasion I wish to share my reflection on today's Word of God. The Church in the richness of her Liturgy invites us to see the beauty of religious consecration and its many aspects.

* Our Way of Life *
"Our diverse talents and abilities, our differences in culture, nationality and age are assets for the richness of the community. Although we may be engaged in a variety of ministries, we all share the common call to apostolic discipleship in a community of the Catholic Apostolate of St. Vincent Pallotti."(OWL, 91)

"As a community of disciples we are gathered around Jesus, the Apostle of the Eternal Father. Like the first disciples, we want to be with Jesus, be sent out by him and return to him to evaluate our service in the light of his presence." (OWL, 88)

"As Pallottines, it is our special charism to foster growth in faith and love among the laity, to awaken them to awareness of their apostolic call, and to cooperate with them in furthering the apostolic mission." (OWL, 21)

"Our relationships with one another should be marked by a love that bears all, believes all and hopes for all, a love that is neither conceited nor jealous, which hurts no one, nor is embittered or resentful. It is never discouraged but remains patient and kind. It rejoices with others and shares their suffering. It is with this kind of love that we should help and support one another." (OWL, 90)
