Our Communities Eucharist is the root and sap that vivifies our communities. We are called to be centered on the Eucharist: “The Lord made me understand that the world is a tabernacle for me” (St Maria Micaela). Hence, we – Sisters Adorers – strive to celebrate Christ, contemplate and adore Him at every moment. In our adorations to the Eucharistic Lord we bring the joys, hopes, aspirations and sufferings of all our beneficiaries, far and near, and entrust them to Him. Praying together, spending time in each other’s company, sharing meals as well as moments of relaxation and recreation are important aspects in our community living. |
