The Jibba and the Cross were also presented as meaningful signs of their journey of discernment, dedication and preparation for consecrated life. These symbols reminded them that their vocation is ultimately a response to Christ, who calls them to follow Him with faith, simplicity and generosity.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of the Community Brothers, Novice and Aspirants made the occasion even more meaningful.
