August 11: Feast of St. Clare of Assisi

For St. Clare, Christ was her mirror. In contemplating Him, she learned to see who she was called to be and how she was to live. She invited her sisters to gaze upon this mirror of Christ and, in His poverty, humility, love, and self-giving, to discover the beauty of a life totally given to God.

Clare did not simply admire the Gospel—she made it the form of her life. Her contemplative gaze became faithful discipleship; her love for Christ became a life of poverty, simplicity, prayer, fraternity, and unwavering trust.

May we, like St. Clare, continually gaze into the mirror of Christ, allowing Him to transform our hearts and make our lives a faithful reflection of the Gospel.

St. Clare of Assisi, pray for us!

🎊 Happy Foundation Anniversary🎊
We celebrate today the 141st Anniversary of the Foundation of the Tertiary Capuchins Sisters of the Holy Family (TC) 🥳🎉

"The history of the Capuchin Tertiary Sisters of the Holy Family began on May 11th, 1885, in the Shrine “Our Lady of Montiel” (Valencia – Spain).

Its Founder, the young Capuchin priest Br. Luis Amigó (1854 – 1934), prepared the foundation keeping himself attentive to the signs that God showed him throughout his ministry; knowing the concerns of some people who liked to consecrate themselves to God, he wrote a text of Constitutions (cf. CW 68), that were reflecting the Franciscan-Capuchin spirit and proposing a commitment to consecrated life, combining contemplation and solicitous dedication to help needed people, especially in hospitals, teaching centers, orphanages and missions (cf. CW 2293).

Very soon our first Sisters had the opportunity to project towards their neighbor the love of God they were experiencing in prayer (cf. CW 2293): a few months after the foundation, during the cholera epidemic of 1885 the Sisters left Montiel to care for the sick people in Benaguacil and then in Massamagrell and three youngest sisters and a novice were infected and died; later in this same town, seeing the helplessness of the children who had been orphaned by the epidemic, they gathered them in a house to educate them. Thus, little by little, in steps with God, the apostolate of the Congregation began to take shape, and, according to what Father Luis recommended, the sisters always tried to respond to the needs of the times.

The Congregation was quickly expanded throughout Spain and in 1905 reached other places of mission. The first missionary destination was Colombia, where the Sisters arrived in 1905 and, from there, they went for another countries in America. In 1929 the Sisters traveled to China but their missionary adventure in this country was prematurely interrupted because in 1949, they were expelled because of the political situation. In 1971 we arrived in Africa, concretely in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and in 1982 we resumed our presence in Asia, founding in the Philippines.

The small family of sisters that began their adventure in the Montiel Shrine, today is present in 34 countries on the four continents and is enriched by young women from different cultures joyful for their call and happy to be consecrated to the service of others.

Your CMSP Family is one with you on this very special day of your congregation. Many more God-filled years to come!
😇🙏

Good Shepherd Sunday | World Day of Prayer for Vocations

Today, we rejoice in Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who knows us, loves us, and calls each one by name.

In communion with the whole Church, we celebrate the World Day of Prayer for Vocations, lifting up in prayer all those who are discerning God’s call in their lives.

With grateful hearts, we share that the TC Sisters in different communities have journeyed together in promoting vocations through the Triduum for the World Day of Prayer for Vocations, Vocation Booths, Vocation Campaigns, and Search-In encounters. These moments have opened spaces for listening, accompaniment, and deeper response to the Lord’s invitation.

Let us continue to pray:
• For those discerning their vocation, that they may hear and follow the voice of the Good Shepherd
• For our communities, to be joyful witnesses and companions in the vocation journey
• For more hearts to respond generously to God’s call

“The Lord is my Shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.” (Psalm 23)

May we always walk with the Good Shepherd and lead others closer to Him.

“Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen!” (Luke 24:5)

With hearts filled with joy and hope, we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. May this Easter renew our faith, strengthen our love, and inspire us to be witnesses of His light in our communities.

As we journey together, may the Risen Christ fill our hearts with peace, our lives with compassion, and our mission with renewed zeal.

Happy Easter!
Alleluia!

“We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.”

In silence and reverence, we gaze upon the Cross—the ultimate sign of love, sacrifice, and redemption. What once was a symbol of suffering has become for us the source of hope and new life.

Today, we are invited not only to remember, but to enter deeply into this mystery of love. In every cross we carry, may we find the strength of Christ. In every suffering, may we discover grace. And in every moment, may we trust in the redeeming power of His love.

Let us adore Him.
Let us bless Him.
Let us follow Him.

“He was laid in the tomb…” (Luke 23:53)

A day of silence.
A day of waiting.
A day of hope hidden in the darkness.

Today, we remember that Jesus rests in the tomb. The world seems still, yet God is quietly at work. In this sacred pause, we are invited to trust, to remain faithful, and to hope even when we cannot yet see the light.

May this Holy Saturday teach us to embrace silence, to carry our crosses with trust, and to believe that after every darkness, resurrection will come.

With grateful hearts, we joyfully celebrate the 124th Anniversary of the Pontifical Approval of the Constitutions (March 25, 1902 – March 25, 2026).

A moment of grace that affirms our charism, strengthens our mission, and renews our commitment to live the Gospel in simplicity, fraternity, and service.

May we continue to be faithful to the charism and mission as we journey together in hope and love.

To God be the glory!
