Members of the Society of the Sacred Heart around the world recently received the booklet, Life Unfolding, Offering the Gift, containing reflections that came from the Society’s International Formation Meeting held in Guadalajara July 23 – August 3, 2012. The meeting was called to discuss initial formation in the Society of the Sacred Heart, but over the course of their time together, the participants gradually broadened their focus with the understanding that formation is a lifelong process for all who are called to follow Christ.

We want to share with you the sad news of a fire in the boarding school residence building at our school in Mbansa Mboma, Congo. We are most grateful that no one was injured, but the building which houses some 200 resident students has been completely destroyed and a part of the academic building was damaged by the efforts to put out the fire. The students have been sent home for a week. Many of their parents came to get them, while others were taken by the sisters in buses to meet their parents in Kinshasa.
Those who desire only the good pleasure of God abide in peace even in the midst of failure, for God has not told us that He requires success of us.
It would be tempting to draw a contrast between a religious of the Sacred Heart and the “heartless” world of corporate America. Yet many mid-career executives are drawn to the classes taught by Terri Monroe, RSCJ at the University of San Diego’s School of Leadership and Education Sciences. Sister Monroe does not experience this as a conflict or problem. In fact she would likely say the perceived contrast stems from a “mental model” out of sync with today’s social reality.
