On October 8, 2023, sisters Maria Dhan Thi Lien and Maria Nguyen Thi Thuy commemorate their lifelong vows. This is a time to thank and celebrate the dedication and service of these women. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the importance of peace, love and mercy in our own lives, and how we can put these teachings into practice in our daily lives.
The Missionaries of Christ Jesus dedicate our lives to following the teachings of Jesus, including his call to mercy and inclusion. Lifelong vows are a commitment to continue this work, to live in service to others, and to promote peace and love in all we do.
In conclusion, the commemoration of final vows are moments of reflection and gratitude. They remind us of the importance of peace, love and mercy, and challenge us to live these values in our own lives. May this day inspire us all to seek peace, show mercy and love everyone, just as Jesus taught us.
