So, I’m using their Breviary. And today is the day they celebrate the founding of their order (said celebration started last night with first Vespers, but as I often do, I missed that). I’ve been impressed by all I’ve seen so far. So I thought I could at least share the collect for this celebration:
O gracious God, through whose Beloved One we are able to know ourselves also as beloved, we thank you for the nine women whose vision and trust in you brought this community into being: Clothe us, who have been called together by you, with the garments of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; let the message of Christ in all its richness inform our lives, that true forgiveness, gratitude and love may grow among us and show forth in our lives and service; through Jesus Christ who has taken our humanity into your divinity and lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, on God, now and for ever. Amen.
