SUMMARY:March 2
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“By our vows of poverty\, chastity and obedience\, we dedicate and commit ourselves totally to the Risen Christ in the consecrated life.” (Con. 13) \n  \nDeceased:\nBr. Franciszek Markiel\, 1918\, Krakow\, Poland\nFr. Gordon Ferguson\, 1990\, Dundas\, Canada \n  \n\nThat we may learn to internalize the vows\, making them values that affect our daily life.\nFor increased fidelity to our religious vows and the spirit of our Founders.\nFor those who work in health care ministries.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“Since religious center their lives on living relationships through religious vows\, [a] lack of receptivity to love affects their very sense of personal identity. They become isolated from God\, others and even themselves.” (Resurrectionist Formation\, 96) \n
