The
celebration of the Feast of the Holy Family last December 27, 2015 was, indeed,
a very unforgettable event for the Siervas and the LJs. Both of them experienced
the outpouring of God’s manifold graces, the joy of dedicating oneself as a
Sierva or as an LJ and the preciousness and beauty of each other’s presence.
The
main highlights of the celebration were:
v The annual devotional renewal of the religious vows of
the SSJ Professed Sisters during the Celebration of the Eucharist
v The First Public Commitment of the eleven (11) new Lay
Josephines to Jesus the Worker in Nazareth and to the Holy Family as Lay Josephines, which followed
after the renewal of the Sisters.
After more than a year of
Monthly Formation Sessions facilitated by the “old” Lay Josephines and SSJ Sisters;
of undergoing an Exposure Program to the different SSJ Communities-Taller and Centers;
and of living the Nazareth Spirituality in their daily life, they were ready
for such commitment. As the “old” Lay Josephines and the sisters witnessed their
Public Commitment, they were all touched…
