About Us
Welcome to the blog of the women of Verso il Cielo household. Once in Verso, #ForeVerso.
We, Verso il Cielo, hold our primary mission to be growth in our personal relationship with the person of Jesus Christ through delving into Sacred Scripture and discovering our identity hidden within His Revelation. We will seek to live out our charisms through the discovery of this identity: specifically, understanding ourselves as utterly dependent upon God in a practice of spiritual poverty and as beings designed for true self gift. We will also seek to share zealously the Good News with others in a desire to bring our brothers and sisters closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
We recognize the particular, and yet, universal call to live “toward the heavens.” When properly lived out, one who practices spiritual poverty understands that in all his actions it is Christ who seeks, knows, and loves through him. As Christians, we are drawn into this pure, divine act and are called to love others through making a sincere gift of self, but we can only hope to achieve the sincerity of the gift if it is truly Christ giving Himself to others through us. We acknowledge that we can only come to know the person of Christ, whom we desire ardently to share, through the Sacred Scripture and Tradition. Therefore, our primary mission as a household is to crave and foster a deep personal relationship with Him by studying the Word. It can then be our genuine desire to share zealously the joy of our personal identity uncovered in Christ Jesus. The Lord has come to us in the Incarnation, redeemed us by His blood, and called us to live with Him forever in the life to come. Although we cannot fully experience the joy of complete union with Christ until we are one with Him in heaven, we can already allow Christ to unite Himself to us on this earth, fill us with His love, and work through us to draw others into this divine vocation. As St. Augustine says: “To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.”
