Pax Christi Sisters

Pax Christi Sisters

A Pax Christi Sister is a prayerful, mature, stable; yet flexible virtuous woman. From her, overflows redeeming Peace which is other centered, gentle, compassionate, and forgiving. She is a humble woman of vision who has a listening heart always responsive to the Father’s will, her vision of spreading the Good News of Peace to all mankind is constantly before her as she, through her life of prayer and service, is a living witness of Jesus Christ our Peace.

Community Life

As a community founded in faith, we recognized that community life and prayer are the essential expressions and source of our life. Prayer nourishes our faith and encourages us to bring our contemplation in love. Community life proclaims the reality that love of neighbor is indeed possible. It expresses our desire to witness to our oneness with God and with each other in the love of Christ.

The Sisters begin their day with the prayer of the Divinie Office in community, followed by the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass . During the day, each Sister spends one hour adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. In the evening, the Sisters pray the Divinie Office and the Holy Rosary.

Before they retire for the day, the Sister meditate on the Word of God, reading the Bible.

A daily prayer throughout her life as a Pax Christi member, which she should live by, recite in prayers, and share with others:

"Jesus lives in me, I live in Jesus,Jesus and I are One."
