  WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE CONFERENCE

OF WOMEN CONTEMPLATIVE COMMUNITIES OF THE PHILIPPINES (CWCCP)

UNITED IN SEEKING THE FACE OF GOD THROUGH A LIFE FULLY DEDICATED

TO PRAYER, SILENCE, SOLITUDE, AND FRATERNAL COMMUNION,

JOURNEY TOGETHER IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE SYNODAL CHURCH.

IN THE MIDST OF ALL VARIABLE TRANSITIONS OF TIME

THAT CHALLENGE THE QUALITY OF VOCATIONAL COMMITMENT

AND THE SUSTAINABILITY OF CONSECRATED LIFE

WE ALSO FACE THE GLOBAL REALITIES

OF BREAKDOWN OF HUMAN FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES,

MISUSE OF THE BENEFITS OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY,

AND DIVERSITY OF WORLDLY OPTIONS THAT OVERSHADOW THE PRIMACY OF GOD,

THE VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE, AND THE CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME.

WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE CALL TO RADIATE THE FACE OF GOD

TO A WORLD THAT ALSO LONGS TO SEE HIS FACE

AS WE FOLLOW MORE RADICALLY OUR LIFE OF UNCONDITIONAL COMMITMENT

TO OUR VOWS AND OUR CHARISM NOURISHED BY THE GOSPEL WE HEAR

AND SACRAMENT WE DAILY RECEIVE.

FAITHFUL TO OUR VOCATION AS THE PRAYING HEART OF THE CHURCH.

WE STRIVE TO EMBRACE IN OUR LIFE OF PRAYER 

OUR WOUNDED AND BROKEN HUMANITY

WHILE WE DEEPEN THE SPIRIT OF LOVE, MERCY AND COMPASSION

AS OUR AUTHENTIC WITNESSING TO GOD’S LOVE AND HEALING PRESENCE.
