Patron Saint of the Province:
St. Joseph (Guardian of the Redeemer and Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary)
St. Joseph, Faithful and Prudent
St. Joseph, a faithful servant of God, although uniquely associated with the mystery of salvation, is hardly spoken of in the Bible. St. Joseph was faithful, prudent, righteous, obedient, pure, humble, silent and just. Though he experienced difficulties like we do, he lived an exemplary life. He was a man of unwavering faith and utmost trust in God’s Providence. St. Joseph never questioned God but carried out God’s will as God’s will was of paramount importance to him. After the visit of the Magi, upon receiving the Angel’s warning, St. Joseph took his little family and fled to Egypt, After Herod’s death, the Angel again instructed St. Joseph that it was time to return to the Land of Israel, and he unhesitatingly did so. St. Joseph faithfully loved, protected and took care of the Child Jesus and the Virgin Mary. He was the perfect guardian of the Holy Family. He did the ordinary things of everyday life with love. St. Joseph’s soul was ablaze with the intense love of God. We, the CCR Sisters too, like St. Joseph can learn to be perfect accomplishers of God’s Will and do ordinary things of everyday life with love, for the greater Glory of God.
Message of the Provincial
Following the Charismatic Vision of our Foundress Mother Veronica and keeping Jesus in the Eucharist as the centre of our lives, we pursue our spiritual journey. As we move along, let us look in four directions: look back and get experience; look forward and see hope; look around and see reality; look within and feel confident. When we do this, there will be certainly something new in us and new from us. Yes, we cannot be the same and should not be! I think it is worthwhile to recall the words of our beloved foundress that “the holy courage to work for the Glory of God and the good of the Holy Order in the Mission of India gave me the strength which I doubted would be mine.” May you find strength in the virtues of our beloved patron St. Josheph and embody his qualities of faith, humility, and perseverance in all that you do. As you surf through our webpages you will know more about our Charism and the Spirit of our Foundress, Mother Mary Theresa Veronica of the Passion.
I am quite certain that the One who began this good work in you will see that it is finished when the Day of Christ Jesus comes.
