Monday, 15 and
Tuesday 16,
September, 2008
After the Paschal Triduum and an
afternoon free
yesterday, the
work of the
Chapter
continues.
Lauds is
celebrated in
the three
chapels, and we
ask the Lord to
continue to
guide us.
Sr. Christiane
begins the day
thanking Fr.
Gilles, Sr.
Silvana, and the
liturgy team for
the meaningful
celebration of
the Triduum,
which we fully
enjoyed, and of
whose fruits we
will certainly
profit during
the rest of the
Chapter.
We know that all
the Sisters in
the Institute
accompanied us
these past days.
The sisters of
Congo- Kinshasa,
for example,
sent this
message:
“My dear
Sisters, the
province of
Congo- Kinshasa
joins you during
this “Pascal Triduum fmm” of
the Chapter,
especially the
night of Holy
Thursday to
Friday. Each
community,
during these
three days,
joined together
in an hour of
Adoration. We
remain united to
the Institute
during this
intense time.
May the Spirit
who guides the
Institute, enter
our hearts and
minds so
that others may
see God in us.”
Sr. Teresita
Arbide,
delegate of the
General houses,
then explained a
surprise the
Capitulars found
in their trays
last evening.
The little
crocheted
placemats were
made by Sr. Ida
Vitelli, a 98
year old Sister
in the
infirmary.
Today and
tomorrow the
Capitulars will
reflect
personally, in
groups, and in
Assembly, on
the two articles
of the
Constitutions (
art n° 176 and
n° 185)
regarding the
mandates of the
Superior General
and the General
Councillors. |
