Remain in My Love…

On the day of our baptism we are brought into the love of God that knows no limits. It is the call of every baptised person to discover and live love.

Recently, the Archdiocese of Brisbane has been blessed to witness the final profession of vows of four young women who have chosen to respond to God’s call, devoting their lives to love as consecrated religious. Whilst they have done this through embracing different charisms, they share a common desire to lay down their lives for the service of their brothers and sisters.

Whilst there are many ways that one can serve the Church, the life-commitment of Srs Monique Singh, Theresia Maria, Teresa Monica and Teresa Francis bears witness to the truth that Religious Life is still a viable option for young people. Through embracing vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, they have availed themselves to witness to the God who draws them to himself.

Let us continue to pray that young women and men throughout the Australian Church will listen deeply to the invitation of God, and be open to a vocation to Religious Life.
