Postulancy |
| |
"The
purpose of the postulancy is to gradually orient the candidate
to
our specific form of life, completing their human and
Christian
formation with particular attention to the teachings of
the Roman Catholic Church."
Having discerned God's call to the religious
life, the first stage begins with
the postulancy. This is a period of at least one year
during which the postulant
learns about the charism of the community. This is followed
by the novitiate.
|
| |
"What
is needed are great saints,
great souls, great victims who will sacrifice themselves
to the Lord
for the salvation of the world." |
Our
postulant jumper and veil are a sign
to the world that we have separated ourselves from it
freely for the sake of Christ and
His Church. |
| |
We
must pray to the Lord that He send individuals who will
respond to the greatness of the mission that the
Lord has entrusted to us.
|
The postulant director works with the
gifts and personalities of each
individual, creating a family
atmosphere for the young candidates.
|
| |
The
family of Nazareth is the model for sisterly life in
the community.
This life is a communion with God and our Sisters and
is a witness
to the unity that Christ wanted among His disciples.
|
| |
The
joy of
our life with God fills the soul
with a foretaste of the reality of heaven.
His call is a gift and irrevocable .
|
Jesus
is calling us to an intimate
life
of reparation with His Heart. He is
seeking out souls that will console Him.
|
| |
Our
Motto, "Magnify the Lord with me
and let us extol His name together"
is the program and canticle of our entire life.
