Thursday,  September 11, 2008 

We note that the manual on Mission (so awaited since 2002), was presented last evening by Srs. Mary Motte and Helen Mendoça. We are very grateful to them. 

Today, we take the morning to recapitulate all the different evaluations made these past days. The Chapter members must, at this time, identify three priorities and the motivations for choosing them. They will be shared with the General Assembly later this morning. 

At 16:00 pm we enter into the second objective of the Chapter (which is the principal theme) : "Franciscan women called to live the kenosis of Christ in creative fidelity and solidarity with the suffering World" And so, we will relive a Pascal Triduum. This evening it is “Holy Thursday”, we are called to love to the end. Remembrance of our Baptism and Confirmation is done in the garden near the fountain, and our Eucharist follows. After a meal together we have night Adoration. We know that the entire Institute is united with us, in a prayer chain of solidarity and participation.
