"I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things hidden from the wise and prudent and revealed them to the simple. Yes, Father, it seemed good to you" (Mt 11,25).

I identify with this text, which expresses well the experience of my life, and of my growth as a woman, as a Christian and as a repairer at the side of the simple people in Latin America.

With them I learned to follow Jesus and to identify myself with his Kingdom. Together with them, I discovered the charism of reparation alive in me as a treasure that I want to take care of, offer and share in order to build a more human world, where the face of God is present. Together with the sisters, I have lived the smr community as a sign of the Kingdom of God, of communion and solidarity.

Now, from this service at the general level, I continue to feel called to care for life and to continue building communion from a more universal experience. And I continue to say: "I praise you Father ....".

In Mary, the first Reparatrice, we see what we must be in order to respond to our vocation with a heart like hers:  Generous in love, joyful in self-giving and renunciation, always in the service of the Kingdom. (Constitution No. 4)

From the beginning, this phrase from our rule of life (constitutions) has both challenged and inspired me and given me new life.  I am grateful to God for the gift of my vocation to Marie Reparatrice, for experiencing the tenderness of God’s love for me and for all of creation and for the awareness of and desire to share this love with others, especially with my brothers and sisters most in need.

I currently serve as a member of the General Council in Rome, for the pastoral and administrative leadership of the Congregation, and I feel called to share this joy, compassion and tender love of God with everyone I meet, in a simple way, like Mary, always in the service of God’s Kingdom.

The congregation is universal like the end it proposes to itself, namely, Reparation for all and in every place, as much as possible; we will thus make ourselves all things to all people so as to win them for Christ.

This mission, which should know no limits, calls forth in us an availability which is full of hope and joy, and enables us to make known the name of Jesus, his mercy and love, in all places where he is pleased to call us. ( Constitution n^o 8)

Let not your heart be troubled; walk humbly with your God.

“Show the tenderness with which God loves the world.”

This phrase from Emilia is a personal calling for me. I find in it both motivation and the way God calls me to share life through small, simple, and concrete gestures, especially toward his beloved.

I feel that today, more than ever, in the situation our world is experiencing, it is an invitation to closeness, to compassion, to be present, to accompany with tenderness from my very being as a woman.

Lord, you have said: My love endures forever (Psalm 88,3).
