Congregation which was founded by Anne Marie Javouhey at
the beginning of the 19th century and which spread rapidly

Today in the Church we

and His love to all persons.

Doc. Starting afresh from Christ
(1 ; 9)
“…consecrated persons are called by the Spirit
to a continual conversion
to give new vigour to
the prophetic dimension of their vocation. They who, in
fact, are called to place their very existence at the
service of the cause of the Kingdom of God, leaving
everything behind and closely imitating the form of life
of Jesus Christ, assume a most important teaching role
for the whole People of God”.
|

“The more consecrated persons allow themselves to be
conformed to Christ, the more Christ is made present
and active in history for the salvation of all. Open
to the needs of the world as seen through the eyes
of God, they point to a future with the hope of
resurrection, ready to follow the example of
Christ who came among us that we “might have
life and have it to the full” (Jn
10:10)”.

persuades
them.”
