1. For our Congregation and our superiors, especially our local superior.
2. For pastors, administrators and counsellors.
3. For all consecrated religious.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“Living the vows is a paschal experience, a conversion experience, because the religious has freely chosen to renounce one way of living the Christian life in order to live another that expresses faith, hope and love more immediately and more strongly.” (Resurrectionist Formation, 122)
