In 1961 I made my first profession as a Sister of Our Lady of the Missions, according to the constitutions written by our founder, Frenchwoman Euphrasie Barbier, and approved by the Vatican in 1877. Memorizing relevant sections of the constitutions was an integral part of our preparation for first profession, but sadly our constitutions like those of most other 19th century foundations were juridical, rather than theological or spiritual or visionary.
