CHARISM… A PATH…

Charism is a path to a joyful life, but not everyone can understand or find it. The charism of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary has allowed me to find the source of my life, and more than that, I continue to find it within me because God places this charism in every heart like a […]

Mission lived from abandonment to the will of the Father and the courage to always say “here I am, Lord”

Mother Mary of the Passion understood mission as “the offering/ gift of self, rather than an activity”. This thought marks the way I live my mission. For me, mission is the space that allows me to give myself, “to render to God what is God’s” (Mt 22: 21). I live this commitment to mission in […]

How do I live the FMM Charism in my life?

The simplest answer is: the charism lives in me as much as I allow it to live. Since the beginning of my life in the Institute, I am sure that each one of us has this charism in her; and even more, each of us first carried this charism and then entered the Institute. I […]

Among the many challenges, climate change is certainly a reality that requires our involvement. This subject has interested me for a long time and has made me change […]

Missionary ‘for’ and ‘with’ others…

Each mission is a personal story, lived for and with others, so that it can give birth to God – love in the heart of the human being, capable of welcoming and loving Him in our turn. At the age of 30, I had a ‘baggage’ and thus something to ‘give’ in the mission: my […]

FOLLOWING CHRIST IN MY DAILY LIFE

As I write these lines, this familiar song rings in my mind “Follow me, follow me…leave your home and family…” from the Gospel of Luke 9:57-62. Jesus says: “Follow me..” (v. 59.) My response today is: Yes Lord I will follow you … but how? Our FMM Charism helps me to do just that. It guides […]

There are times in life when being close to certain people is a source of joy and fulfilment. Thus was my experience of proximity with the late French sister Marie Madeleine PORQUET, fmm, in my community and with Mrs. Fati, a sick and needy person who resided in the National Hospital of Niamey in Niger […]

LIVING THE FMM CHARISM IN DAILY LIFE

The FMM charism is above all “a gift from God”. It was entrusted to Bl. Mary of the Passion, who first lived it and then transmitted it to us who are her daughters. To live this charism in daily life and to try to transmit it to her Institute was not a simple matter for […]

GOD INVITES ME TO LOVE AND TRUST

On 17th May, 2014, God led me to Kenya/Ethiopia, an English speaking province and to a place called Kakuma. When I arrived in this semi-desert place, I found that the local Turkanas and the Refugees were lacking in basic necessities like housing, water, light and food. It was heartbreaking, but soon I experienced them as […]
