“Realizing that you were ransomed from your futile conduct… not with
perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of
Jesus Christ as of a spotless, unblemished lamb.” (1 Peter 1:18)
“Since you have purified yourselves by obedience to the truth, for
sincere mutual love, love one another intensely from a pure heart.”
(1 Peter 1:22)
Recognizing the mercy shown to us by Christ’s death on the cross,
we want to grow deeper in love with Him. Seeing Mary as the one closest
to the sacrificial Lamb, we wish to be united with her heart, so that
we may suffer ‘intensely’ for love of Christ and one another.
“Rid yourselves of all malice and deceit, insincerity, envy and all
slander.” (1 Peter 2:1)
Within the Love of the Lamb family, we will do our best to be sisters
in Christ, through humility, genuineness and unconditional love. By
trusting and being committed to each other, we will bear one another up,
bringing joy and laughter into each other’s lives. While striving towards
individual holiness, we will encourage and strengthen each other on the
path to sainthood. Each member is expected to show respect for her sisters
by fulfilling all commitments and striving to live according to our covenant.
“They stood before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes
and holding palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud
voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God, who is seated on the throne, and
is from the Lamb.’ These are the ones who have survived the time of
great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb. For this reason, they stand before God’s throne,
and worship Him day and night in His temple… For the Lamb who is in the
center of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to springs of
life-giving water, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
(Revelation 7:9, 10, 14-17)
