Friday, 5th September 2008 

We brought our intentions to Morning Prayer: The gift of life to Sr. Narelle (Provincial of the Middle East province); the general elections in Angola and the work of the new Steering Committee. 

Today the chapter members study the first objective: the evaluation of the life of the Institute since 2002. 

The different steps to achieve this objective are:

The journey of the provinces
The statistics
The Superior General’s Report
The General Bursar’s Report
The General Bureaux Reports 

Today, the sisters reflect on the journey of the provinces.
The provincial and her delegate(s) meet first to look at their own challenges. They choose three in order of priority and bring these to the different continental groups. 

Then these continental groups search together and draw out five trends and challenges, as well as differences, and classify them in order of priority. 

At 3.30 p.m., in General Assembly: the Chapter members bring together their group reports and offer clarifications where necessary. 

It must be noticed that this sharing from provinces and continents will help to discern the trends and challenges for the whole Institute, together with the statistics, finances and different reports. 

At the Eucharistic celebration in the three linguistic chapels, we thank the Lord for the journey made in all the provinces.
