NUNDAY with the Sisters of the Congregation of Pious Disciples of the Divine Master
There is no better way to celebrate Monday of Holy Week than with NUNDAY! Today Nunday features the Congregation of the Pious Disciples of the Divine Master (Pauline Family).
Sister M. Louise, O’ Rourke, pddm, sent in this photo of an international group of junior sisters representing nine nations. They were gathered in Rome from September to November for a three month intense preparatory course for Perpetual Profession.
Writes Sister Louise, “The experience was memorable as we returned to our charismatic roots, visiting where our Founder Bl. James Alberione (S. Lorenzo di Fossano, Cuneo, Italy) lived and brought to life our religious family. One of the highlights was the visit to our elderly sisters who recounted the austere yet joyful beginnings of our Congregation in the early 1930’and 40’s.
They are a beautiful and living example of women who were willing to leave everything in blind faith, out of love and conviction for the call of God!During these months which we journeyed together, we discovered that the bonds of our consecrated life and a common love for our mission keep us together even though we are miles apart, have different habits or speak different languages!

Lorenzo di Fossano, Cuneo, Italy.
The photo was taken in November 2010 and since then three sisters have professed perpetual vows and the others are preparing for this step in the upcoming months. Let us keep the sisters in our prayers!
