Plus 1 more Postulant

May 31, 2012, Feast of the Visitation , Claretian Vocation Day. The community of Quezon City, Philippines welcome  in their midst one more postulant, Miss Arnita De Los Reyes, Filipina, 29, years old. It  was actually a   come  back   rite  for us since she was  already with us  in 2008. Let us read her notes below.

The Feast of the visitation of the blessed Mother is one of the most important events in the history of the Church. As I have celebrated it together with my sisters, I feel so overwhelmed by the presence of God because of His love I deeply felt inside me, which penetrated to my whole being. This is not just an ordinary day but a significant moment in my journey with God that I will always treasure in my heart as today is my initiation to postulancy.

My three-day retreat prior to my entrance to postulancy was truly a grace-filled and beautiful encounter with God and a wonderful occasion of discovering my real identity as His beloved. Being in touch with His love was the most perfect moment I ever felt and experienced. It was in this time that I found it so clear that God was pleased on me.

I am truly blessed and grateful to respond on God’s invitation because amidst my limitations and weaknesses He continuously reveals how great His love on me is. What then is my response on this beautiful invitation? I could not fully express it in words but God knows my heart; as every part of it was His. Yes! I am His ‘till the end.

I feel so privilege to be part of the Religious of Mary Immaculate Claretian Missionary Sister (RMICM) because through this Congregation and with the prayer, guidance and love of the sisters the seed of my vocation grows in full-bloom. My special thanks to Sr. Inocencia Rodrigo and Sr. RizalynSolitario who joyfully, generously and patiently journeyed with me especially in the crucial moments of my life.

Together, let us always pray for each other with love. Let us share the same love of Christ to each one because that love alone gives us profound joy and peace, liberates us in our weaknesses and sustains us on whatever circumstances of our life we may be. May God bless us always!

                                                                                                                                                               

                                                                                                                                                                With Love and Prayer,

                                                                                                                                                           Arnita Delos Reyes

Pope Benedict the XVI Easter Vigil message

Let there be light”, says God, “and there was light”: Jesus rises from the grave. Life is stronger than death. Good is stronger than evil. Love is stronger than hate. Truth is stronger than lies. The darkness of the previous days is driven away the moment Jesus rises from the grave and himself becomes God’s pure light. But this applies not only to him, not only to the darkness of those days. With the resurrection of Jesus, light itself is created anew. He draws all of us after him into the new light of the resurrection and he conquers all darkness. He is God’s new day, new for all of us.

Let us pray to the Lord at this time that he may grant us to experience the joy of his light; let us pray that we ourselves may become bearers of his light, and that through the Church, Christ’s radiant face may enter our world (cf. LG 1). Amen.
