I LOVE YOU …

O my Congregation! I love you

I love you as I love my Mother, the Holy Church

I love you for your long journey through the years true to your Mission

I love you for your courage, your persistence in the hardships

I love you for this sap that flows in your members, my Sisters

I love you for these pioneering Foremothers who shaped your face

I love you for all my Sisters, these unknown martyrs

I love you for all these lives given without counting, these unseen devotions

I love you for this joy which by your hands, radiates throughout the world

I love you for all those hidden sacrifices, for all those prayers that continually rise up from

our communities to God our Father

I love you, O my Congregation, for all the bold and generous work that has woven the

threads of your long and beautiful robe that is Your Story

May you, O beloved Mother, be at His return, the beautiful bride in white robe without

stain going to meet her Spouse.

S. J.M - Haiti
