On September 3, in Albano Laziale, the jubilees of 25 and 60 years of religious profession were celebrated, with the participation of some of our communities (Lazio, Umbria and Albania) and the Pauline family of Castelli Romani.
In the homily of the Eucharistic Celebration, Don Roberto Ponti, the new provincial superior of the SSP, emphasized that Mary, Mother of the Good Shepherd, is a model of love and a guide for all the faithful: she is the mother and Shepherdess of humanity. "The Sisters of Jesus the Good Shepherd are called to follow her example, bringing Christ to the world with the same maternal love and the same pastoral devotion. The Divine Shepherdess guides and protects us constantly, inviting us to follow her with trust along the path of life".
This day, characterized by familiarity, was an opportunity to remember and to live a day of joyful fraternity. We thank the Mother House Community, always available to welcome, which took charge of the liturgical and convivial organization of the celebration.
Jubilee anniversaries are always an opportunity to look to the future by valorizing the experience of the past; to reflect on our pastoral mission and to question ourselves on our 'creative fidelity' to the charism entrusted to us by Don Alberione.
