Cecilia Kennedy con sus padres y Sir John Cardenal Ribat El camino de pasar de ser una niña en una aldea a ser una mujer trabajadora consagrada. Así fue como hemos experimentado esta primera profesión de Cecilia Kennedy, con quien hemos compartido y de la cual estamos muy agradecidas por haber percibido el proceso de crecimiento del don de la vocación como Sierva de San José. Si bien es cierto que cualquier jornada de la vida nos encamina a vivir una diversidad de aspectos, caminos rocosos, mares en calma y otros turbulentos, pero, ante todo, es la oportunidad de experimentar lo que es el relacionarse con una misma, con l@s demás, con toda la creación y con Dios.  Para Cecilia, su vida de relación amorosa comenzó en su aldea de Sawaedi Provincia de la Bahía Milne en Papua Nueva Guinea. Ella nació en la familia de Natanael y Paula. Fue allí donde comenzó su vida en relación con Dios, teniendo a su padre y madre como quienes le alimentaban e impulsaban a crecer en la Fe,...

Cecilia Kennedy, ssj with her paretns and Sir John Cardinal Ribat  The journey of a village girl to a consecrated working woman...   This is how we experienced the First Profession of Cecilia Kennedy with whom we are truly grateful to witness the blossoming of this gift of vocation as Servant of St. Joseph. Any journey in life leads us on a path with different aspects, rocky roads, calm or rough seas and most of all the opportunity to enter into a relationship with oneself, others, all of creation and with God . For Cecilia, her loving relationship began as a young girl in the village of Sawaedi (Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea) who was born into the family of Nathaniel and Paula. It is where she began her relationship with God as her parents nurtured her to grow in faith, trusting in God at all times especially during difficult moments.     As Cecilia grew into a young woman, she became involved in the youth ministry in her parish as one of their...

Mi historia cobra sentido dentro de esta historia.  El pasado fin de semana 9 y 10 de noviembre hemos celebrado en Madrid el segundo encuentro de laicos josefinos. El sábado iniciamos la jornada con una bella y creativa oración en Zona WiFe preparada por la comisión. Apertura al espíritu con fidelidad creativa.  Entendiendo el itinerario laico josefino como el proceso fundamental a través del cual una persona puede acercarse a conocer, experimentar, vivir, profundizar y comprometerse con el carisma, de la mano de Antonio Botana, hermano de la Salle, hemos ido descubriendo las líneas básicas del proceso de formación en el carisma: la formación para una identidad, la comunión y creación de comunidades y la animación compartida de la misión.  Tras una reflexión en equipo y la posterior puesta en común, pasamos a analizar los dos ejes que sostienen el proceso formativo: el eje afectivo y el eje narrativo. Los sentimientos de pertenencia, corre...
