UISG COMMITMENTS

We, almost 800 women leaders of one million members
of Catholic Religious Institutes throughout the world
reflecting on the theme
Women Religious: Many Cultures, One Heart:
Sent to be a living presence of the tenderness and mercy
of God in our wounded world
publicly declare our determination to work in solidarity
with one another
within our own religious communities and
and in the countries in which we are located
to address insistently at every level, those issues
to which we are committed.

We pledge ourselves to implement these resolutions
through a system of networking among ourselves
and with other existing organizations with similar concerns
within Churches and society.

Attentive to the cries that arise with one voice from many cultures
we will respond as women disciples of Jesus Christ
seeing the world with eyes of the heart
and with the compassion of a loving God.
