Fund
for the
Academic Formation of Our Sisters
"The formation of consecrated women...should
be adapted to modern needs and should provide
sufficient time and
suitable institutional opportunities
for a systematic education,
extending to all areas, from the theological-pastoral to the
professional.
Pastoral and catechetical formation,
always important,
is particularly relevant in view of the new evangelization, which
calls for new forms of participation
also on the part of women.
Clearly, a more solid formation, while helping consecrated
women to understand better their own gifts, cannot but encourage
within the
Church the reciprocity which is needed.
In the field of
theological, cultural and spiritual studies, much can be expected
from the genius of women, not only in relation
to specific aspects
of feminine consecrated life,
but also in understanding the faith in all its expressions".
Vita Consecrata, no. 58
As
Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we are called to
be ardent witnesses to the power of love and the splendor of the
treasures of the Church, to form hearts for a new civilization of
love and life.
The love of the Pierced Hearts have invited our Congregation to go out
"into the deep," bringing forth the reign of love of the Two
Hearts in all sectors of society and with its influx transforming
them from within. Yes, the love of Christ urges us to go out “into the deep”
and to be joyful and faithful witnesses to love, to the splendor
of truth, and the Splendor of the Church.
In order to do this lovingly, effectively and in full communion with
the Heart of the Church, good academic formation is essential. Each
of our sisters is in constant formation, further deepening her
knowledge of the teachings and treasures of the Church. We desire to
have sisters formed in the different academic fields in institutions
of Catholic Higher Education, to be readily available to serve Our
Mother the Church, by placing our charism at her service. The Marian principle serving the Petrine principle. As the community
continues to grow, the capacity to financially provide for this type
of formation has become beyond our possibilities. That is why
we are inviting you to support us in continuing our mission to be
ardent witnesses of the splendor of the treasures of the Church.
For this
reason, we have initiated a fund specifically for the academic formation of the
sisters. Money donated would go toward tuition costs, books, and
room and board at the places of study. Please help us to bring about
our mission to go out into the deep, into the Heart of the Church
and the heart of the world.
We ask
you to please sustain us in prayer and intercede for this intention.
Pray for all the apostolic endeavors we already have been entrusted
with by the Church. Pray that we may fulfill the designs of
love that the Pierced Hearts have for us and that we may always
respond to these designs with a marian heart: Let it be done!
May love
triumph!
