| Community Life |

Life in common is an essential element of the vowed religious life. As a family united in the
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus and the Heart of the Church, the community is, by its nature, the
place where the experience of God should be able, in a special way, to come to fullness and be
communicated to others. For us, our life in community is a means of achieving holiness, a means
through which we strive for intimate union with God, each Sister supporting the other for our own
holiness, for the good of the Body of Christ and for the well being of the world. It is a lived
experience of togetherness, not only by living in close proximity with each other but also by
becoming part of the very fabric of each other’s lives. Thus, we live together in fraternal
community, pray together, have meals together, play together and hold all things in common,
seeking always to recognize, esteem and reverence Christ in each other. As Sisters who are bound
together in Christ we share the Love we receive, mirror the Light we encounter and witness to
the Life we experience.
