We acknowledge that everything comes from and belongs to God. That makes everything sacred. Where we tread is sacred ground, who we meet are holy, who we are and what we do are hallowed in His Name.

We pray for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit who empowers us to make our aspirations for the Congregation a reality. We humbly ask the intercession of our Blessed Mother, our Father Francis, Mother Teresia van Miert in our journey towards unity in loving surrender to the living God.
