The Pro Sanctity National Convention is a precious moment in the life of
every member and friend of the Pro Sanctity Movement. It is a time for
experiencing the renewing power of God's forgiving and reconciling love and
starting afresh our journey of interiority for mission.
We are tired of mediocrity, indifference, lukwarmness! We want to be
on fire, to live life fully, to be renewed in Christ. How? If we live and
bear witness to faith, hope and love in a fuller and more conscious way, we
will be running on the way of the Lord and make a difference in the world!
Faith:
Helps us discover the signs of God's loving
presence in creation, in people, in the events of history and above all in
the work and message of Christ.
Hope:
It frees us from mere repetition and gives
us the real meaning of the eternal wedding feast. Through hope, Christians
bear witness to the fact that beyond all evil and beyond every limit,
history bears within itself a seed of good which the Lord will cause to
germinate in its fullness.
Charity:
Through charity, Christians make visible
God's love for humans revealed in Christ, and make manifest Christ's
presence in the world to the close of the age. For Christians charity is the
prolongation of the presence of Christ who gives Himself. We are invited to
make gestures of charity, to do many generous works of charity in favor of
the brothers and sisters who are in need of help. In pro- claiming and
living the Gospel of charity we are not alone, Jesus is with us, "I am with
you always, to the close of age". Jesus invites us to return to the Father
who is waiting for us with open arms to transform us into living and
effective signs of His merciful love.
May Mary be the bright star on our journey in the new millennium.

1 Peter 1:7 - "the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold that
is perishable even though tested by fire, may prove to be for praise, glory,
and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."
Right now, gold is at an all time high in value. It seems that the
faithfulness of Pro Sanctity members has also risen to an all time high
since the Barn Fire in October. The outpouring of love, well wishes and
gifts has strengthened the hope for even better ways to glorify the Lord
through the mission of the Universal Call to Holiness. It is exciting that
we have the opportunity to meet with Pro Sanctity members from all over the
world in July to spread our hope and nurture our souls with the food our
fine speakers will offer us. Dear Lord, please bless all our dedicated
members and speakers with health and hope. Bless our Convention so that we
may be a joyful expression of praise, glory and honor in your Holy Name.
Amen.

The Sacred Heart - Filled with the fire that brings light to our souls!
"What I tell you in darkness, speak in the light."
You do speak in darkness, Lord. In the silence of the heart, you speak with
fervor and love. You reveal what you want me to know, and you share graces
with me not just for me, but so that I may share them with others. It is
comforting to know, Jesus that you speak in the darkness. The darkness can
be so fearful and so empty, it can be so silent, so terrifyingly silent,
that I want to avoid it. In the darkness of loneliness, in the darkness of
the soul, in the darkness of my sins, you are there speaking to me. You are
the light that shines in the darkness and your light is meant for all to
see. I have kept away from the darkness, Lord, because I prefer the light.
I look to find you in the light, but you are also in the shadows.
In these words, Lord, I learn that your heart is one that does not abandon
me in my darkness. I may turn a deaf ear to you, I may turn my back on you,
I may mock you and abandon you by my sins, but you continue to speak to me.
Give me a heart like yours, Jesus, so I do not leave you when all seems
black. Give me a heart like yours so I will stay with others when they are
in their darkness, too.
