"We religious are decisively called upon to place Christ in the center of our life; and this entails having the courage to bear witness to this openly. We must not be afraid of saying that for Him and for Him only that we have chosen to embrace religious life and live mutual dependence in fraternity. We are invited to say that from Him we receive our reward for all of our renunciations and the best part has yet to come."
