Sowers of love
PAIN
In the night the canons spew the suffering,
The people of Vendee, standing, cry in pain.
Who can devote oneself, build up this part of France,
Offer the needed bread and flour?
HOPE
Jean-Maurice Catroux will sow hope;In the Heart of his God,
He draws his warmth.Rose plants her seed of peace
And deliverance;They reap fruits of eternal value.
BRING LOVE
Today, the wounded,
Is every being in distress,Seeking sustenance,
Listening and tenderness,What a life project,
To be a bearer of Love!
DO NOT WORRY
Do not fear!
The universe of the living
overflows with promises,
Is nourished by ardor,
momentum and youth.
LA DOULEUR
Dans la nuit des canons, éclate la souffrance,
Le Vendéen, debout, gémit dans la douleur.
Qui peut se dévouer, Bâtir ce coin de France,
Offrir au démuni le bon pain et la fleur ?
L’ESPÉRANCE
Jean-Maurice Catroux va semer l’espérance ;
Dans le Cœur de son Dieu, il puise sa chaleur.
Rose plante son grain de paix, de délivrance ;
Ils moissonnent des fruits d’éternelle valeur.
APPORTER L’AMOUR
Aujourd’hui, le blessé,
c’est tout être en détresse,
En quête de soutien,
d’écoute et de tendresse,
Quel projet de vie,
que d’apporter l’Amour!
NE CRAINS PAS
Ne crains pas!
L’univers des vivants déborde de promesses,
Il se nourrit d’ardeur, d’élan et de jeunesse.
Is it not a garden to sow in daily!
S. Cécile Allard
New collaborators succeeding Mother Marie continue the expansion that has started. In 1863, on the death of Mr. Catroux,
the Congregation had 378 nuns in apostolic service and distributed in 130 establishments.
It is obvious that the small community founded in 1823 and legally authorized in 1852 has become an important apostolic work.
