Have
you ever had the experience of reading something familiar, for example
a chapter of Scripture or a favorite poem, and coming across a few
lines which you swear were never there before; you see the words truly
for the first time? That happened to me two years ago on retreat when I
decided to spend a day reading the original Constitutions of the
Society. Towards the end, after a lengthy section on the three vows,
Sophie notes that, though these are the three sacred vows which bind
religious women to Jesus, still we can never unite ourselves to the
Divine Heart without being united at the same time to one another.

As of mid-May, five RSCJ had formed a community at Teresian House, a
skilled care facility in Albany, New York, operated by the Carmelite
Sisters of the Aged and Infirm. Although Teresian House is a large
facility – 300 residents – it is divided into "neighborhoods" of
fifteen to twenty residents, each with its own living and
kitchen/dining area. Daily activities take place in these areas.
They are comfortably furnished in various styles to simulate home
environments. Each resident has a private room and bath. A large,
bright chapel is situated on the first floor.

RSCJ
hear frank talk from an expert and from a panel of young Catholic
women, and develop vocation related proposals at a recent conference
held in St. Charles. Women
in apostolic religious orders have much to offer young Catholics
searching for a deeper spirituality and prayer life, according to Mary
Johnson, a sociologist familiar with young adult Catholics and with
women’s religious orders, but have to learn to express, in words young
Catholics can relate to, the depth of their relationship with God, the
radical nature of their vows and the connection between prayer,
ministry and community.
