“In the Company, there are some Sisters who have repeated their “Yes” 80 times. Far from being a more or less routine “repetition”, each year it is a “Renewal” that implies that the “Yes” is pronounced, each time, within a different context. It carries with it different connotations stemming from our own personal history and outside circumstances that arise over the course and development of time greatly influencing our lives. This development is so rapid that it practically hinders any sense of routine.”The full text of this letter can be found at http://www.filles-de-la-charite.org/en/renovation_2003.html
