During all of these years, accompanied by the Virgin Mary, we have lived the mission entrusted to Marie Rivier by Jesus Christ. We wanted to thank and bless God for the wonders He has done through us as we lived in faithful service to Him in the various countries where we are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">The event was celebrated in a spirit of appreciation and joy. We began with a prayer vigil on Saturday evening, thanking God and acknowledging the mission he has entrusted to us. It was a moment of praise and thanksgiving as we sang the glory of his name for all the wonders He has accomplished in Marie Rivier and in the Congregation over the years! The vigil celebration prepared us to enter into this time of thanksgiving, fulfilling our innate desire to give praise! We were ushered into the silence of the night in joy awaiting the dawn of a new day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<span style=\"color: #008000;\" data-wp-editing=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-25641 \" src=\"https:\/\/soeurs-de-la-presentation-de-marie.org\/pom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Positio.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"377\" height=\"446\">On Sunday, we gathered at the table of the Lord bringing him offerings during the Eucharistic celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">We offered symbols that had meaning for us as Congregation:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">&#8211;&nbsp; &nbsp;a book called \u201cPositio\u201d, which contains the process of the Canonization of our Blessed foundress Marie Rivier,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp; the globe, symbol of our mission in the world,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">&#8211;&nbsp; &nbsp;a small sheaf of wheat, remembering and honoring God\u2019s providence that has nourished us all throughout the years,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">&#8211;&nbsp; &nbsp;the bread and wine for the celebration of the Eucharist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder<span style=\"color: #008000;\">The Eucharistic celebration ended with a song especially dedicated to Mother Rivier that we also expressed by a dance of joy and thanksgiving.
