Provincial House Community in Manchester, NH
At the heart of our existence
is the mystery of our relationship with God,
the mystery of prayer.
In this inexpressible relationship of faith
is to be found all the meaning of our consecration;
in it is accomplished
our essential mission in the Church:
the service and praise of God.
Prayer is the joy of our life,
the secret of its fullness and fruitfulness. Rule of Life [C48] |
