Carol Restaine: Consecrated to the Order of Virgins


This past Wednesday we celebrated the consecration of Carol Restaine, our community servant to the Order of Virgins. It was a beautiful mass held at the cathedral in Comayagua, celebrated by our local Bishop Roberto Camilleri. To explain what exactly a lay consecrated woman is within the context of the Catholic Church follows:

“God has called them to be more closely united to himself and to be dedicated
to the service of the Church and of mankind. Their consecration is a call to
greater fervor in spreading the kingdom of God and in giving to the world the
spirit of Christ. Think of the good they will accomplish by their prayers and
good works, and the abundant blessings they will obtain from God for holy
Church, for human society, and for your families.”

Having worked with Carol in this mission for the past year, I have seen first hand the fruit of her “YES”, her Fiat to serve Christ and His people. Her mission field: Both the materially and spiritually poor of Honduras and the crazy group of missionaries she receives each year! (I’m not sure which one is more challenging!) Her commitment to Christ and His church is an amazing example to me of selfless love. Please keep Carol in your prayers as she continues to live this call to be Christ’s bride, and serve His people!


"Receive the ring that marks you as a bride of Christ.
Keep unstained your fidelity to your Bridegroom,
that you may one day be admitted to the wedding feast of everlasting joy."
