FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT, THE BREATH OF THE SPIRIT...

"As drops of water penetrate the earth, the word of God reaches our hearts."

Every day is a new dawn, because God surprises us by whispering a word to our hearts, a magnificent inspiration to continue “crossing the shores”, especially in this season: Advent. 

And we find ourselves contemplating Mary.

A young girl from a small village has been chosen to be all things to God. She's so surprised, but she doesn't hesitate to say YES. And heaven opens and joy is on earth.

Mary carries the Promise within her. Mother, faithful woman. In silence: listening. In decision: grace. On the way: reward. In commitment: Servant. 

Servants of Mary since we saw the light at our birth, continuing to be born with others, to fraternize, to accompany, to listen. And to defend the joy of our unique YES to be women of today.

We are few, poor and small, but we can. Today is the day. Every day.

Mary, Mother and Mistress, we accompany you in this waiting that fills our souls with light.

We are your daughters. We are your daughters.

Amen.
