Pope Francis greets members of the Premonstratensians for the occasion of the 900th anniversary of their foundation Last year marked the occasion of the 900th anniversary of the founding of the Abby of Prémontré, the first Abby founded in the order of the Premonstratensians.
Receiving members of the order in the Vatican on Thursday, Pope Francis had words of encouragement and appreciation for them, as he noted the significance of orders such as the Premonstratensians in their ability to remain present and spread as “shining beacons” of hope throughout the trials and successes of human history.
Throughout their history, the Premonstratensians offered a missionary spirit, which in and of itself is “a story of courage and self-sacrifice, out of love” the Pope continued, leading to the establishment of new stable communities in mission lands. “The community's stability and long experience help predict the consequences of long-term choices. Sustainability is a key criterion, as is social justice.”
