PSDP SAINT JOSEPH MISSION: RETREAT OF THE RELIGIOUS OF THE MISSION

RETREAT OF THE RELIGIOUS OF THE MISSION - 2016

The religious of the mission will gather together for the yearly retreat of one week. This experience will take place in Nairobi from 10^th to 16^th of this month. The facilitator will be Sr Luciane de Cesaro, member of our Spiritual Family. With her help we want to reflect more deeply about the message and directives of the last General Assembly of the Poor Servants Sisters (General Chapter - from 24 May to 14 June 2015).

The same Spirit who invite us for this experience, according to the text of the Sisters, “has led us to recognize the mystery of love that inhabits in our communities. This is a gift that can’t be kept only for us, but we are called to announce it with joy to every periphery of human existence, so that it becomes a blessing for all.” Let us accompany these our brothers and sister Luciane with our prayers!

PRAYER FOR OUR SPIRITUAL FAMILY

Lord God, all Powerful Father, look with benevolence on us, members of this Spiritual Family; grant us your life and fill us with your Spirit, to respond faithfully to your call.
O lord, preserve us in your love, through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Queen of the Apostles, of St. Joseph, of St. John Calabria and all our patrons.
Send us brothers, sisters and lay people with apostolic spirit that united in only one family we may believe in you and your word.
Grant that free from all earth worries, with full trust in your Providence, and in communion with those who represent you, we may be ready to do your will and to suffer with Christ so that the souls may welcome your holy Kingdom. Amen.

PRAYER TO ST. JOHN CALABRIA

O God, our Father, we praise you for your Providence with which you govern the universe and our life. We thank you for the gift of evangelical holiness granted to your servant Fr. John Calabria.
On his example, desirous only of the coming of your kingdom, we abandon to you our worries.
Grant us your Spirit that our heart may be simple and available to your will. Enable us to love brothers and sisters, above all the poorest and the abandoned, to experience one day with them the joy without end where you Father, await us with Jesus your Son and our Lord.
Through the intercession of St. John Calabria grant us the favour, which we ask from you with confidence...
