Decades have passed, and the Sisters of Saint Andrew have never left the ‘hill’ of Taizé. They have brought years of collaboration with the brothers of the Taizé Community, a ministry of hospitality that has become increasingly vast, and increasingly more international and ecumenical.
The young women who have joined Saint Andrews come from increasingly diverse geographical and ecclesial backgrounds. They bring with them their gifts, their dynamism and their aspirations. With their arrival, Saint Andrew has taken on a resolutely international dimension.
These fruits, already given, lay the path for a future listening to the Spirit and the needs of the world. The communities adapt: new communities come into being and others close. The universality of the mission, one of the main characteristics of the Constitutions of Saint Ignatius, has become more and more a concrete reality for the Congregation, where the fields of mission become more diverse.
The joy of belonging to one and the same Body – whether that be in Bresil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, or South Korea -, dispersed for the mission but united by the bond of love, accompanies us throughout the uncertainties of the journey, so that we may go forward in unfaltering trust.
