Thursday, September 25, 2008 

These are the words of the song sung this morning in the French language chapel: “Knock at my door, you who come…knock at my door, the cry of your hungry, knock  at my door, the suffering world”. Refrain: “I don’t know the day or the hour, but I know it is you, Lord”! 

At this moment we are turned towards the world, we listen and we bend near it through the third theme of the priorities we have retained: our “relation with those to whom we are sent, and solidarity with the suffering world”. 

The working method is somewhat changed, being studied in two parts:
A. Relations with those to whom we are sent
B. Solidarity with the suffering world, because there are situations in the suffering world which demand a creative and prophetic response from us.
The sisters have personal reflection early this morning and will share an experience of either A or B in the group at 10:30 am. 

At 4 pm  they listen to the group reports in the General Assembly only on section A. 

At 6.30 pm  Cardinal Ivan Dias, Indian, Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, Fr Tony McSweeney, a Blessed Sacrament priest and Fr. Gilles, ofm  will celebrate the Eucharist.
