In communion with all our communities, two solemn celebrations illuminated these two days, during which the Church makes us remember Saints and the Dead, with the light of Paradise.
The First Vespers of the feast of All Saints were opened with a solemn procession of the relics of the Saints, who show us the way and accompany us on our journey: St Vincent de Paul, St Joan Antida, St Augustine, Blessed Nemesia and Blessed Enrichetta. In life and in death, these saints of charity welcomed God’s love, His mercy, His grace, followed Christ with all their strength, sought Him, found Him and served Him in the poor, allowed themselves to be transformed by the shaping action of the Holy Spirit.
During Lauds of the Commemoration of the Dead, all our beloved Sisters who left us during this year were remembered one by one. The light of their lives of consecration to God, of love for the Church, of dedication to their brothers and sisters, of faithful and industrious belonging to our Religious Family shines in the hearts of each of us and feeds the Flame of Charity.
