PRIEST ASSOCIATES OF THE SISTERS OF CHRIST IN MADAGASCAR -
PRIEST ASSOCIATES
The central sentence or motto of the new Branch is drawn from number 12 of the Constitutions :
Day after day in the place where we live, the mission leads us to experience the God who creates, liberates and reconciles.
The group are convinced that communion of life or union with Christ, Source and Maker of unity (Gal 2,20, Const., no 57) expresssed in the mission of gratitude, welcome, respect and love, are necessary, urgent and vital. This is our identity and our life.
From then on we were invited to witness as the Apostles did : «What we have seen and heard we are telling you so that you too may be in union with us.» (1Jn, 3).
The Eucharist is fundamental to the spirituality of priest Associates by the fact that this «Mystery of the Covenant is both an exchange and a sharing, sign and leaven of unity» where Christ gives Himself to us. (Const. No. 59)
