Present to the Lord

On the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, the church celebrates all consecrated men and women. Together with many other religious congregations, the Legionary religious, the young and the old, renewed their vows during the Celebration of the Eucharist that day.

For some it has only been about six months since they vowed to live in poverty, chastity and obedience; for others this was one of many, many renewals on that blessed day in which they handed over their lives to Christ in the Legion.

For three days prior to the Feast, the Brothers and priests prepared themselves with special meditations and talks to reflect on the important aspects of religious life: the vows, contemplative prayer, the mission to extend the Kingdom, etc. In this way, the religious presented themselves once more - as Jesus did centuries ago -  into the hands of the Father.
