Welcome
to all who came to share with us in the celebraton of Veronika's Final vows.
Two members of our community
in Brno share their experience of this event. Klára + Vendula
I have many memories and
impressions of Veronika’s final vows ceremony here in the Czech Republic. Here
I would just like to say how much I was touched by the presence of the sisters
from Europe and the assurance that other sisters and friends around the world
were united in spirit with us. I had a sense of belonging to an
international Institute and a deep unity with all our sisters. I am convinced
that the success of the whole celebration was not only due to our own
preparation and efforts, but also to the power of the prayer of those who could
not be with us. We continue to rely on your interest and prayer for the
development of our mission here. Klára See "Our Story" for more

The sisters from
Europe came, reaching out to us with open arms and a welcoming smile. I could
not resist simply jumping into their arms. It was as if some power was
emanating from them – not overwhelming or overpowering, but an energy of
acceptance, respect and encouragement. In all of them, I saw spontaneity,
relaxation, enthusiasm, a freedom to be who they are and happiness to with us
in the Czech Republic. It was this energy which gave us the courage to continue
with preparations for this big event. It was great to come back in the evening
and see them making themselves at home in our house. I praise and thank the
Lord for their way of being with us: 1Cor 15:10.
