FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD: Celebrating Consecrated Life

So my first February 2nd with Living Water Community was quite remarkable.

We were invited to attend the annual celebration of Consecrated life in the Archdiocese of Port of Spain. This was actually the first time that Lay communities were invited to attend and we were thrilled to be a part of it.

It is always good when those who have given their lives freely and joyfully to Christ come together in fellowship. It was especially good to interact with the younger religious as well as the old and see Pope Francis' words in his homily of that day truly lived out.

The evening began with vespers which included a renewal of our consecration, short remarks by Abbot John Pereira and Sr Marie Therese (the Episcopal Delegate for religious) and adoration and benediction.

Looking forward to many more years of consecrated life and praying for a renewal of consecrated life in the Caribbean.

Praise God!!!
