To stay in the love of God is to be reconciled to yourself. Our hearts, bodies and minds, far from being one, are often scattered and propelled in different directions. Jesus tells us "Abide in me as I remain in you" (Jn 15: 4a). A life of integrity presupposes a path...
We express our gratitude to Pope Francis for the Motu Proprio Spiritus Domini, and to all those who have contributed in the study and research for this new step that sees the ministerial participation of women in the Church. We are pleased to read that the title of...
Today we are in a double celebration. On the one hand, the celebration of the baptism of Jesus, which is the open manifestation of his mission and his destiny. On the other hand, the anniversary of the birth of Santa Nazaria. From the baptism of Jesus, the hallmarks...
M. María Joaquina Lozano, General Superior, has visited the community of older sisters in Granada (Spain), which has been so painfully touched by the pandemic in recent months. While there, she has oriented the end of the year retreat to the community. The grace that...
It makes no sense to think of human development as something independent of the planet. Because we are immersed in nature. Neglecting this fact threatens future generations with catastrophic risks and constitutes a threat to the many lives today. The Human Development...
We know the great dangers that some families suffer today: poverty, violence, addictions. Daily worries of a labor and economic nature; different visions in the education of the children; reduced time for dialogue and rest. For this reason, the Missionaries Crusades...
Glory to God in the highest, on earth to men peace! What pure joy, full of rejoicing ... Jesus was born for us and by us. Therefore, since love is paid with love, we must live for Him and by Him. It is a highly logical conclusion of love. To live for Him, without...
Nazaria challenges us to prolong the life of divine action in the Redemption of man. Indeed, our life must not be an active, contemplative, or mixed life, but rather divine life: the incarnate word of God is the only one that can create, redeem, and renew the face of...
Jesus grows in wisdom, stature, and grace. Growing up is a verb that invites us to look and look at ourselves in terms of potentiality and the future. It is a permanent invitation to deploy and develop capacities, skills and aptitudes. It is a door to improve,...
"That long, loving look at things." Someone very beautifully defined contemplation that way. Contemplating is more than looking, although it begins with a glance. In order to become contemplation, the gaze has to be "long" because if not, it will transcend the flat...
Epiphany: God manifests Himself. What joy to think that God has a deep longing to make himself known! This attitude is essential in deep relationships: revealing what I am to the other, welcoming - in turn - what the other gives me. Epiphany invites us to review our...
By welcoming Mary we are blessed, but we also learn to bless. The Virgin, in fact, teaches that the blessing is received to give it. She, the blessed one, was a blessing for all who found her: for Elizabeth, for the spouses of Cana, for the Apostles in the Upper Room...
The end of the year invites us to read this period of time. A flash back to become aware of how we are and with whom; and, above all, asking God to accompany us to watch these months with us. Read back to thank so much well received, because, in the midst of so much...
Jesus had a family and, passionate and profound as he was, he would fully live in home the love that we experience in ours. Vital learning and space for reflections; but, above all, home to grow as we are. Today is an opportunity to thank the home that allowed our...
“The Word became flesh!! Incomprehensible mystery. God! Man!" (Saint Nazaria) The Incarnation is a deep and unfathomable Mystery that shows God's way: from within and from near, in simplicity and humility, in silence.
"The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." (Jn 1,14) The Word is in everything, God is in everything, Jesus is the Word. Since I started my religious life as CMC, the phrase “being women of the Word” has an special echo in me. In the Plasencia mission, I have been...
Living the experience of the COVID -19 pandemic as a teacher, I managed to understand the russian philosopher of Jewish origin, Levinas (1906-1995). He invites us to reflect from the other who bursts in before me from his condition of fragility, forcing us assuming...
Devastation, impact, destruction. Two lethal blows by the brutal force of hurricanes Eta and Iota, with no time to react. Honduras had suffered multiple crises in recent years - poverty, violence, environmental devastation, massive emigration and, more recently, the...
