First Profession of Vows
In Mary's Magnificat, she
says, My soul magnifies the Lord...(Lk. 1:46). Mary the perfect model
for a Religious consecrated to Christ, shows how in everything she did she
gave glory to Christ. So too when a Religious professes her vows of poverty,
chastity, and obedience, she is espoused to Christ of who radiates through
her.
On April 8th, 2006, Sr. Maria del Divino Amore
made her First Profession of Vows at St. James Catholic Church in Mount
Rainer, MD. The Mass was celebrated by Fr. Gustavo Nieto, IVE Provincial
Superior. A reception followed immediately after the Mass, a gathering of
friends and family.
