Installation of the New CPS Leadership Team

On 14 October 2017, the new CPS Leadership Team was installed in Rome.  Starting on the left, they are: Sr. Monica Mary Ncube (Superior General) from Zimbabwe, Sr. Caroline Mjomba (Vicaress General) from Kenya, Sr. Walburga Ballhausen from Germany, Sr. Marguerite Uy from the Philippines/Canada, and Sr. Ursel Beyerle from Germany.

Reflecting on the call of Moses (Exodus 3:10-14), Sr. Ingeborg Müller encouraged the new team: “There are thousands of bushes, but what makes the burning bush so special is that God is in it. And do we know what makes us so special to God?  It is that He is in us. If we do recognize that it is God in us that makes all the difference, then we will not come up with what sound like such good excuses for not serving God.”

“If God calls us into his service, our weakness is no hindrance for him; on the contrary he uses it to accomplish his goal. Leadership is indeed a journey of faith. And with St. Paul we can say, when I am weak, then I am strong. Remember also the theme of our General Chapter: Widen the space of your tent! Let God and his plan into your tent.”

Congratulations!!!

The Second Week of Lent 2026
emphasizes that true transformation
begins within. Just as Jesus revealed
His glory after inviting the disciples
to climb the mountain and listen to the Father’s voice, Lent calls us to step out of comfort and grow through prayer, silence, and honesty. It is not an escape from reality but a preparation to face it with faith and courage. This season invites us to open our hearts, listen more deeply, trust more fully, and walk faithfully toward Easter.

We are invited to follow
Christ more closely.
In His humanity, Jesus
was tempted but did not give in.
The devil presented every
possible option to make
He succumbed, yet He remained
steadfast and faithful
to the Father. This reminds us
that we are not called to
rely on ourselves or to
gratify our own abilities.
Instead, we are invited to
trust in God’s constant
help and His faithful
presence, especially in
moments of temptation.

Lent provides us with a perfect opportunity to
“begin again” in our lives as religious women.

Our lives as CPS are rooted in the
continual flow of life, death and resurrection
– the continual dying
and rising with Jesus –
in our own lives and in the lives of those
to whom we minister and meet daily.
But before we can be women of reconciliation
for those to whom we minister and encounter,
we must first be women of reconciliation
among ourselves.

“If no one goes, I go!”
These courageous words of our Founder,
continue to echo in our hearts today.
They remind us that our vocation as
Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood
is rooted in availability, sacrifice and love
without limit.

In this lent season, we are invited to
renew our personal response to Christ,
to go where we are needed, 
to serve even in difficulty and 
to offer ourselves more
deeply to God’s service.

lent is our time to say again,
with faith and courage…

Lord, I go!
