The logo is meant to symbolically express “the unceasing work of the Holy Spirit, who in every age shows forth the richness of the practice of the evangelical counsels through a multiplicity of charisms, in this way making the mystery of Christ ever present in the Church and in the world, in time and space” (VC 5).
In the figure of the dove hovering over the waters of history by means of the waters of the flood (cf. Gn. 8:8-14) can be intuitively perceived the Arab word for “peace”: a reminder that the consecrated life should be an example of universal reconciliation in Christ. The waters, formed from mosaic tiles, represent the complexity and harmony of human and cosmic elements that “groan” while awaiting the fulfillment of the mysterious plan of God (cf. Rm. 8:26-27) and that, under the prompting of the Spirit, converge in a fecund meeting leading to a new creation.
Under the banner of the Gospel, consecrated men and women, who have always been pilgrims among the peoples of the world, live their various charisms as “good stewards of the manifold grace of God” (1 Pt. 4:10).
Marked by the cross of Christ even unto martyrdom, they dwell in history with the wisdom of the Gospel, the Church that embraces and heals all humanity in Christ.
