The Society of the Sacred Heart       
Australia-Aotearoa New ZealandCalled to a New Era of Living as RSCJ ,

It is not what you are nor what you have been that God sees with all merciful eyes,
but what you desire to be.

The Cloud of Unknowing    

 There is something wanting in education where a child has not had its share of leisure, to be rapt in silence and alone…

Meeting of RSCJ in the Philippines

Fourteen RSCJ who have made their final Vows within the past 10 years, met in the Philippines.  Representatives from Asia/ Pacific provinces/districts included rscJ from Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, India and Indonesia.
It was a time to share reflections on the following issues:

• Among the different realities in your Area/District/Province or your country/ies, what challenges you the most as RSCJ today?  Why?  How are you responding to these challenges?
   

• Imagine (as realistically as possible) the face of the Society in your country, 10-15 years from now.

How would religious life and the Society’s mission and spirituality be expressed at that time?

What could be the concerns of your area/district/province at that time?

How are you to prepare yourselves for that future, in the areas of:

-    service of education
-    formation
-    structures of religious life

The meeting was held in conjunction with the Asia/Oceania meeting for Provincials enabling interaction between the two groups.
