"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.
The time has come…
Repent and Believe in the Good News
Mark 1, 14-15
Dear Sisters,
With immense joy and gratitude to God, we, the members of the Formation Commission send you warm greetings from the Eternal City of Rome. The first meeting of the Commission was held in our Generalate from January 8 -13, 2018, and it consisted of the members from Poland, India, Cameroun, Tanzania and Belize.
To initiate the meeting, Sr. Izabela Świerad, Superior General, called our attention to the present situation of our entire Congregation and focused on the need of Spiritual Renewal. She also emphasized on giving much importance to On-going formation and expressed her concern of awakening each Sister to live the beauty of Consecrated life within the Pallottine Identity. Therefore, we believe it is a time to examine our vocation and the mission which the Church has entrusted to us through the Pallottine Charism.

Not the will, but God,
Not the heart, but God,
Not sight, but God,
Not hearing, but God,
Not smell, but God,
Not taste and tongue, but God,
Not breath, but God,
Not touch, but God,
Not air, but God,
Not food and drink, but God,
Not clothing, but God,
Not tranquillity, but God,
Not worldly goods, but God,
Not riches, but God,
Not honour, but God,
Not worldly recognition, but God,
Not dignities, but God,
Not promotions, but God!
God in all and for ever!

Meditations
* 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)

"Christ, the Apostle of the Eternal Father, and his mission are central to our personal and community life, giving meaning and direction to our thinking, our spirituality, our prayer, action and suffering." (OWL, 19)

"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)
