“I think our newer members bring a lot of new ideas. Freshness. Sincerity. And I think it’s good for us to stop and
think where we came from and where they’re coming from. And to bring those ideas together. That’s all part of
growing.”
–Sr. Paul Mathy

Some of the ways our vows free us

• to let go of everything except God’s word: "I have done what is mine to do. May Christ teach you what is yours."
• to interiorize and preserve the words of Jesus, the words of God, within the heart that demand a commitment of service
      to others as shown in the Gospel.
• to live in simplicity, by being counter cultural e.g. putting aside the things needed to have status, power, prestige.
• to be happy to live among the outcast and despised, among the poor, the weak, the sick, the unwanted, the oppressed
     and the destitute.
• to clothe oneself in a habit that is simple, poor and becoming, as a sign of conversion and Gospel consecration.
• to trust God to fulfill every need.
• to become aware of one’s own weakness and to grow increasingly sensitive to others in their weakness.
• to go wherever needed.
• to live with whomever God calls in community; no ties of blood or choice.
• to fill oneself with a loving tenderness for all God’s creation and thankful joy.

"But in a sense we renew our vows many times. Practically everyday in the way we live them. And so that first
one doesn’t seem as important now as it did at the time that we took them. It was like the beginning of something
that we were going to continue to do."
– Sr. Mary Jane Mertens
