Action Alert!

As you may be aware, the State of Texas has resumed the execution of inmates on its Death Row. On evenings of executions in Texas, you are invited to join us in a Prayer Vigil at 5:45 PM in our Incarnate Word Convent Chapel, 1101 NE Water Street in Victoria, Texas. We pray for the murder victim, for family and friends of the murder victim, for the prison guards and correctional officers, for the family of the condemned man/woman, for the man/woman to be executed, and for an end to the death penalty.

We have completed that time in which the eternal Son of God as one of us –suffered, died, and conquered death so that we might have eternal life!

Jesus, the Incarnate Word told our foundress, Jeanne Chezard de Matel that we must climb Calvary to find Him. Then we are to follow Him through His death and Resurrection. He sent the Paraclete and promised to be with us until the end of time. Now, let us seek Him andlet us look afresh at this awesome mystery through the eyes of mystics since we are all called, through our Baptism, to be mystics, that is, persons of prayer, persons whose experience of the presence of God is intense and leads to continuing conversion.

Let us respond to this call to deep communion of love and of knowledge with God and then share it with all humankind as prophets- persons who

communicate the message of God to the whole world. Therefore, let us receive God’s love and, in turn, extend it to others -as mystics and prophets.

We, the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament of Victoria, Texas, are women of the Church, who, in our communal living, seek to focus on the Person of the Incarnate Word through adoration, witness, and the Extension of the Eucharist by service to others in a spirit of charity and simplicity.

Our mission is to extend the Incarnation in today's world by living the Gospel of Love, proclaiming the Good News and building the Kingdom of God.

Impelled by love to share the Incarnate Word's mission of bringing God's kingdom to be, we joyfully seek to serve those in need, through an apostolate of Christian education and care of the sick as determined by the current needs of the church.
