Saturday, September 20, 2008 

During our Eucharist this morning, we honored the 103 martyrs of Korea, canonized in 1984, among whom were St. Andre Kim and Paul Chong. The hymns in Korean enhanced our  prayer for that country.

In the morning session, all the groups gave their reports and there followed a lengthy period of clarifications. During that time, Fr. Johannes Freyer, ofm, expert on Franciscanism, listened to the exchanges. He had come to spend the day with us to help the Assembly react on the ideas relative to a Franciscan “kenotic” vision so that we could live our Mission today. 

In the afternoon Father took our own words and explained the thirteen most used in the group reports: kenosis, minority, relations, reconciliation, fraternity, internationality and interculturality, globalization, mission/ evangelization, solidarity, formation, restructuration, life style. A good discussion and clarifications took place.
