WAY OF LIFE |
Called to
total dedication to the Triune GOD, we
commit ourselves to live the spirit of the
gospel through the vows of consecrated
chastity, evangelical poverty, and religious
obedience.
We commit our lives and our gifts to the mission of the
Catholic Church.
The Eucharist
The Source, Center, and Summit of our way
of life. |
|
|
THE PILLARS |
|
PRAYER |
 |
We deepen our love and intimacy with the LORD through
prayer, the sacraments, and devotion to Mary.
The Eucharistic celebration is the source and center of
our lives and ministry. |
 |
|
|
Mindful of this, we
participate in the celebration of Mass
daily. |
|
|
We have an extended time
of Eucharistic adoration daily, both in the
morning and evening. |
|
|
Through the Liturgy of the
Hours, specifically Morning, Evening and
Night Prayer, we continue the prayer of
JESUS in His Body, the Church. |
|
|
Contemplative prayer is an
essential of Dominican life as our motto
indicates, "To give to others the fruits of
contemplation." We spend an hour a day in
personal prayer and devote ourselves
regularly to spiritual reading with emphasis
on Scripture. |
|
|
The Rosary is prayed daily
as a community. We conclude Night Prayer
with the singing of the Salve Regina (Hail
Holy Queen). |
|
COMMUNITY |
|
|
We live in community, each Sister developing and using
her gifts and sharing them for the good of the whole
community. |
 |
|
|
Through the common life in which we share prayer, meals,
housing, material goods and leisure, we express our
loving care and concern for each other and help to build
that community which reflects God's love in action. |
|
|
The religious dress of our community consists of a white
habit with a scapular, black veil and rosary. White is a
symbol of purity and black is a symbol of penitence. |
|
MINISTRY |
|
|
The Church, as the Body of Christ, is the source of our
mission. Our charism is encouraging spiritual growth and
renewal.
We offer our ministry especially in the areas
of spiritual talks, retreats, parish missions,
intercessory and healing prayer and spiritual direction. |
 |
|
STUDY |
|
|
In the study of Divine Truth, we strive to open
ourselves to the wisdom of GOD as it is transmitted
through scripture and teachings of the Church in order
to serve God's people.
