A Joyful Announcement for the Assumption
On August 15th, the Solemnity of Our Lady’s Assumption into Heaven, Sister Frances Marie renewed her five Passionist vows in the hands of Mother John Mary! Sister is now halfway through her juniorate (six-year period of temporary vows) and will continue to renew her vows annually until, God willing, she makes her lifetime oblation to Jesus Crucified in three more years. Please join us in thanking God for Sister’s “yes” to the Lord, and in praying for her as she seeks daily to deepen her self-offering to her Divine Bridegroom!
“The Passionist Nuns seek to imitate Mary ‘who devoted herself totally to the Person and work of her Son ... serving the mystery of Redemption.’ In faith and obedience, they place themselves at the service of the Church through their hidden life of poverty, prayer, solitude and penance so that all may share the fullness of Redemption.”
