January Mantra


Jesus Christ, our only treasure

Our January prayer of the heart, in preparation for our General Chapter, is taken from the 5th Counsel of St Angela where she says:-

"Let them have Jesus Christ for their only treasure, for there also will be love."

The 5th Counsel, the longest of Angela's Counsels written for the guidance of the local leaders, is full of words of encouragement. Among them are  these words:-

"Also, let them hold this as most certain: that they will never be abandoned in their needs. God will provide for them wonderfully.They must not lose hope."
