torah & bible

Through different forms of Education, we endeavor to transmit the biblical perspective of human life which we ourselves are continually trying to appropriate; namely, the dignity of the human person, the love that God has for each person in her/his uniqueness and for each people in its distinctiveness (Constitutions 15)


We commit ourselves
  • to continued formation of ourselves and others in the Word of God according to the Jewish and Christian traditions,
  • to increase our knowledge and understanding of Islam and other religious traditions.
("To be a Blessing" General Chapter document, 2004")

We commit ourselves
  • to strengthening our associate groups,
  • fining ways to share our Sionain charism with others,
  • use our voice to challenge the unjust structures around us
("Being a Blessing, Living the Vision", Vision statement of the UK / Ireland Province)
Olive Tree
   

The Olive Tree is a biblical and universal symbol of peace; it is also used by St. Paul to illustrate the integral link binding the Church to Judaism (Rm 11:17-24). "The Church cannot forget that she draws sustenance from the root of that olive tree onto which she has been grafted." (Nostra Aetate, 4)
