Dear Sisters all,
Blessed be God who looks upon the humble and the little ones! This acclamation of the psalm can serve us better than ever today to thank God for the recent news of the Laudatory Decree recognizing the virtues of our dear Sister Estela! We are celebrating and in heaven they will be celebrating too!
He communicated this great news to you with a heart overflowing with joy and gratitude. We thank God because he has looked upon the holiness of a woman who lived simply and dedicated her whole life to the poor, to the most abandoned and forgotten, and today continues to accompany them from heaven.
We congratulate ourselves because we are celebrating, the path of holiness that St. Vicenta Maria opened, today is recognized by the Church in a new Sister, in a new member of our great Congregational Family.
This year, in which we celebrate fraternity, this is one more call to make it come alive and the spiritual patrimony, deposited in our hearts by the action of the Spirit, calls us to make it a reality in the small gestures of every day…
For all of you, and also for me, I wish from the bottom of my heart that this be so, and to our mother, the Immaculate, I ask for company and strength for the journey. A big hug from your sister,
M Daria Fernandez R.,
General Superior
