A.O.L.A
We who are filled with passion for the
world, because that is God's passion.
Who are we?
who wish to follow Jesus Christ by consecrating to him our lay state
in the conditions of our time.
* Where do we come from?
| From an
intuition : |
going beyond the
foundation of the L.S.A., Father Pernet , in fidelity to
the Spirit and to the needs of the world, created various lay
groups. One of them brought together women who were called to
follow Jesus Christ without giving up in any way their family
or social commitments.
|
|
| From an
expectation |
single women, animated by
the spirituality of Fr
Pernet, who wished to consecrate themselves in their usual
life setting.
|
|
| From a response |
the Congregation gave birth in 1953 to the
Association, taking up again Fr Pernet's intuition and meeting
the Church's desire concerning the advancement of the laity.
|
|
* What do we live?
|
Each of us stays in her life setting, with her
profession, her commitments, her forms of solicarity, taking
on our responsibilities. Our life of prayer, which is the
indispensable support for our vocation exposed to all storms,
is the place where our love for God and for the world meet.
|
|
|
Our spirituality makes us
particularly attentive to those who are 'of least account' and
we have a concern to work, with others, for the building of a
more loving and just world with respect for the dignity of
every person.
|
|
|
We are present in 13 countries and experience a
sisterly companionship with special times for renewal, with
meetings and correspondence; all these support us in our
common vocation.
