A PROJECT TO BE REBORN

Jesus comes to meet us. "Do not be afraid." 

He invites us to serenity and trust. 

What a provocation, at a time when fear risks paralyzing us against COVID-19! 

Who will roll the stone?What can we do to address this situation, all of us at risk: children, the disabled, women in distress, the elderly...?

Like the women on their way to the tomb, without escaping or fleeing the situation, we wanted to be there, to accompany, to live in Faith.

It is in our questions, our occupations, our worries, that we lived and celebrated the Good News. "He is not here. He is risen."

On the way to Easter, the community reflected and committed itself to live times of intense prayer with a benevolent gaze towards one another.

In the same dynamic, we lived the journey towards Pentecost, preparing ourselves for it, with the sacrament of Reconciliation celebrated in the community.

The breath of the Holy Spirit guided us through the rereading of our Constitutions, to better discover His Presence in our lives as Servants of Mary and thus welcome him in our day today lives.

So here we are on our way to let the Spirit create something new in us and through us.

Reborn…! We have become aware that it is only together, all united as a human family, that we must seek integral and sustainable development, as our Pope Francis tells us.

Every individual action is not an isolated action, it has consequences for others, good or bad; everything is connected in our Common House.

We also took care to take this responsibility into account.

The continuous presence of Sister Mayie Duhalde in Mariama, the chapel screen and the telephone in the rooms, allowed us to communicate with our sisters in the Old Age Home, all the time in isolation.

At Our Lady of Refuge, the Lord wants to revive in us Hope and to recreate, around u,s the beauty of Nature, that surrounds us in a "new spring".
