Every autumn reminds me of my vulnerability
It carries the truth that life is fragile
Every spring reminds me of my joy
It brings the truth that there is hope for new life.

CHOOSING LIFE

Every autumn reminds me of my vulnerability
It carries the truth that life is fragile
Every spring reminds me of my joy
It brings the truth that there is hope for new life.
 
Every Seed dies to choose new form of life
Every Caterpillar desires to become a beautiful butterfly
Each letting go welcomes the new reality of life
Each labour pain brings new life in to this world.
 
Choose life to cultivate love in the barren heart
Light a candle in the darkened world by choosing life
Choose life to apply medicine to the wounded Cosmos
Give life to the dream of our Founder by choosing life
 
May each and every living being of this world choose life
In each and every moment of their lives
We the daughters of Pierre Bienvenu Noailles choose life- to
Respond creatively and prophetically to the signs of times.
 
Jesus chose life on Calvary for the love of humanity
Holy Family choosing life lived humble service at Nazareth
Bienvenu Noailles choosing life found a family of God alone
We choose life in communion with God, humanity and the cosmos
 
I saw the birds of every colour and fruits and flowers of all season in the garden of Pierre Bienvenu Noailles
They flourish by the sweetness of love, harmony and unity of each other
New melodies break forth from the garden while choosing life
This is the essence of the song “WE ARE PART OF THE WEB OF LIFE, GLORY TO GOD ALONE”
