My Perpetual Commitment: An Offering of Life to the Lord
From Sister Kandongo Kibole Yollande, on mission in Chad With a heart full of gratitude, I share the profound joy I experienced on the day of my perpetual profession. My life, received as a gift, I have offered to the Lord, the Master of all. In trust and serenity, I approached his altar, ready to hand over my entire existence to him. Yes, I can truly affirm: there is more joy in giving than in receiving. The grace of this unique moment was granted to me. Everything unfolded in peace and in deep fraternal communion. I felt carried by your prayers, your encouragement, and your affection. As our ritual of vows highlights, I leaned on the unconditional love of God and on the support of my sisters.

The prophet Isaiah pictured the desolated Creation without peace because of the lack of justice and the broken relationship between God and humankind.

To hope in a biblical context does not mean to stand still and quiet, but to act, pray, change, and reconcile with Creation and the Creator in unity, metanoia (repentance), and solidarity. The Symbol for 2025 is the Garden of…

Visiting the Garden of Religions in Cologne: A Journey of Dialogue and Discovery
A community outing in a hidden Oasis in Cologne The Garden of Religions may look simple at first glance, but it’s one of Cologne’s most meaningful spaces. Whether you’re religious, spiritual, or simply curious, this garden invites you to slow down, listen, and connect — with others, with yourself, and with the world’s shared values. This garden isn’t a museum or tourist attraction in the usual sense. Instead, it’s a space for interfaith dialogue, reflection, and community. What makes it special is its simplicity. There are no explanatory signs or boards. Instead, visitors are encouraged to explore, experience, and share their own interpretations. It’s a unique space where religion becomes dialogue, and where visitors leave inspired, thoughtful, and perhaps even changed. Exploring the Five Interfaith Symbols The garden is built around five symbolic installations, each designed to invite discussion. The Bell Visitors begin by striking a large bell…
