Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa (MSOLA)

COMMITTED FOR LIFE as MSOLA

The "final profession" expresses our "commitment for life" our total gift to God through service to our brothers and sisters.

The love of God we have experienced, calls for life-long fidelity, renewed continually in love
and rooted in God's own fidelity.

 
Annemie (from Germany)
is a theologian working in
Algeria. Here on the
day of
her life- commitment.

The formula that expreses our commitment
as Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa:

"In the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit,
and to the greater glory of God,
I, sister….,
responding freely to his call,
in the presence of my sisters
and in your presence, Sister….. ,
vow on the Holy Gospels, to follow Christ
In obedience, poverty and chastity
Until death, according to the Constitutions
Of the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa.
I commit myself to collaborate totally in God's work,
to proclaim his kingdom in Africa.
United to my sisters by the same vocation,
I want to follow this call
according to the spirit of the Congregation,
entrusting myself to God's fidelity
and the prayer of the Church".

Sr. Juli Alonso (from Spain) with her
parents during the ceremony of her
final vows in front of the baptismal font where she had been baptized.

The ring received
at the final commitment
is a sign of the covenant
between God and the sister
and of her total dedication
to his work
in the MSOLA community.
