Commitment to Laudato Si’ Action Platform

As we celebrate Laudato Si’ Week, 22-29 May 2022 to mark the seventh anniversary of Pope Francis’ Encyclical on the Care of Creation, we are joining hundreds of thousands of Catholics to celebrate the progress made in bringing the Pope’s encyclical Laudato Si’ to life.  It is also a way to intensify our efforts through the Laudato Si’ Action Platform, promoted by the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development.

In responding to Laudato Si’s call to integral ecology, we have made a conscious commitment to justice, peace and integrity of creation that prompts us to join and be part of the large network of individuals and collective initiatives towards the 7 year journey to ecological conversion.  This video clip by our Superior General, Sr. Monica Mary Ncube, is in support and promotion of the Laudato Si’ Action Platform on Care for our Common Home.

Resist temptations

The Lenten journey continues to invite
us to follow Jesus Christ more closely.
In His humanity, Jesus was tempted but
did not give in. The devil presented every
possible option to make Him succumb,
yet He remained steadfast and faithful
to the Father. This reminds us that we
are not called to rely on ourselves or to
gratify our own abilities. Instead,
we are invited to trust in God’s constant
help and His faithful presence, especially
in moments of temptation.

Lent provides us with a perfect opportunity to
“begin again” in our lives as religious women.

Our lives as CPS are rooted in the
continual flow of life, death and resurrection
– the continual dying
and rising with Jesus –
in our own lives and in the lives of those
to whom we minister and meet daily.
But before we can be women of reconciliation
for those to whom we minister and encounter,
we must first be women of reconciliation
among ourselves.

“If no one goes, I go!”
These courageous words of our Founder,
continue to echo in our hearts today.
They remind us that our vocation as
Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood
is rooted in availability, sacrifice and love
without limit.

In this lent season, we are invited to
renew our personal response to Christ,
to go where we are needed, 
to serve even in difficulty and 
to offer ourselves more
deeply to God’s service.

lent is our time to say again,
with faith and courage…

Lord, I go!
