MARIE RIVIER, A FACE TO DISCOVER<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The word ‘discover’<\/strong><\/em> invites us to a dynamic attitude, an unending search. There is always something missing, something that strongly challenges us to go beyond, that never leaves us at a standstill. We must move forward without losing our enthusiasm, with the freshness of the heart and the breath of the Spirit that comes from above, wherever we are, in the morning, at midday, or in the evening of our life.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is also the word “face<\/em><\/strong>“. One\u2019s face is what best defines a person. It is unique, different, singular, we recognize it among many others.  Marie Rivier’s face is reflected in different ways for those who love her, who admire her, who discover the beauty of her heart, the wisdom of her words, the witness of her life and her commitments!<\/span><\/p>\n

I invite you to pray this novena with the enthusiasm and the wisdom of your heart, with much love and faith. Marie Rivier is a living invitation to live our vocation and mission in the Church and in the world in a joyful and faithful way. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Mother Maria dos

Reflection:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

My dear daughters, your charity should shine forth in all your words and deeds; it should be the motivating force behind all you do.  Charity should make you generous; that is, it should lead you to forget yourselves so as to think only of the tasks that have been entrusted to you and of the spiritual and bodily needs of those under your care. That should be the distinctive spirit and characteristic of all the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary. Your charity should be all-embracing, holy and divine, like God\u2019s love for souls; there should be nothing merely human in it. It should exclude having a special fondness for one person; rather, it should extend equally to everyone, since everyone has a right to it as to a common good. It should encompass all the spiritual distress and bodily sufferings of others.  Therefore, open your hearts; be generous<\/em> and behave in such a way that each one is convinced that you love her dearly and that you look down on no one.
