The primary objective of the formation process is to prepare our Sisters for a total consecration to God in the following of Christ, at the service of the Church in our contemplative-missionary vocation. To say yes to the Lord’s call by taking personal responsibility for maturing in one’s vocation is the inescapable duty of all who have been called. Every attitude and action, at important moments as well as in the ordinary events of life, should show that they belong completely and joyfully to God. Formation is a path of gradual identification with the attitude of Christ toward the Father. On every level this formation in our Congregation is oriented to a life of contemplation. Since this basic attitude of contemplation is ultimately a gift and operation of the Holy Spirit, we foster in our young Sisters the ability and readiness to listen to God’s summons and to respond to it.
