Reflection
Based on the image above by Sister Ana Dura, CSR
This image depicts the Trinity, community, and the world. We have all come from the same source – God, who is Trinity. Three persons who are one. The circle of light is “Father;” Dove is Spirit; Jesus, our Redeemer is center.
All people and all creation are created for community/relationships. We all desire oneness and wholeness; life flourishes in community. We come from one source and we seek to come together in this life around a common belief, a common mission : that all may know the healing love of our Redeemer.
The circle of persons symbolize our Congregation. We are formally made up of women from 3 countries. There are additional persons in this image – perhaps the other branches of our founding congregation; perhaps all the people who participate in the mission and Charism entrusted to us – Associates, co-workers, Redeemer Ministry Corps, etc. The circle is outward facing and there is motion. The feet symbolize our Congregation stepping forward: to the needs of the world ; to a future of hope.
