The motto  “MY SPIRIT REJOICES”  is taken from Mary’s Song of Praise, the Magnificat (Luke 1:46).  In her Song, Mary gives praise to God for the wonders that he has worked in the world and in her own life.  In recalling the moment when John the Baptist leapt for joy in the womb of his mother, St. Elizabeth, Bishop Flesey wishes to honour the Sisters of St. John the Baptist with whom he has served as colleague and friend for the past thirty-five years.  In a sense, the Magnificat is the song of every Christian who has experienced the mighty power of God through the gift of salvation in Jesus Christ.  Called to unity with the Lord Jesus, our spirit rejoices that he has saved us and set us free.
