Our Lady of the Holy Rosary - pray for us
Dear Sisters,
The events of the current year related to the Covid-19 virus, as predicted by experts, are gaining momentum again. Sickness, lack of good health, deprivation and fear for the future are experiences of almost all people, because they affect each of us in one way or another. Today, when the pandemic is developing rapidly again, and many - often contradictory - comments and opinions multiply, we are also looking for understanding and sense of what is happening. From the human point of view, it seems as if everything that the present time brings is locked within the prevailing virus...
If in Mary all the centuries and all the
generations will have to admire the wonder of
your grace, in me all mankind will have to
admire the miracle of your mercy." (OOCC X, 303)
Dearest Sisters,
In this Marian month, we celebrate with the Universal Church two great and important feasts: Pentecost and the feast of Queen of Apostles. The Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:1 ff) remind us that on the day of Pentecost, in the hall of the Cenacle, the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles with great power, He descended upon them as wind and fire as the Spirit who creates and renews, initiating the mission of the Church in the world.
My God, My Mercy…

To All the Superiors and Missionary Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate
Dear Sisters,
On our calendars, spring has just begun. Outside appears as if nothing has happened…, blue skies embracing the earth, sun's rays peeking into the windows bringing warmth, flowers are blooming, birds are singing, and a warm spring breeze delicately blows around. We all love spring because it comes to us in light colors, with hope, with a smile, with new life and warmth. Such is a nature: faithful to God’s law and grows and develops according to its own natural rhythm.

"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)

"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)
