Sunday, 5th October 2008 

Today, Sunday, was the inauguration of the Synod of Bishops consecrated to the “Word of God” in life and in mission. We all feel concerned by this call from the synod, to read, study, share the Word of God contained in the Bible; this reading of the Bible from the Book of Genesis to the book of the Apocalypse will be done, day and night, till Saturday, 11th October. 

St. Paul, addressing the Philippians, 4:6-9 tells us: “Brothers (sisters), there is no need to worry; but if there is anything you need, pray for it, asking God for it with prayer and thanksgiving.” This is what the Chapter members did this morning. 

At 5.30 p.m., we had the joy of receiving the first names of the sisters elected as general councillors: 

Sister Ramoni Iribar Cortajarena, Spanish, provincial of the province of Spain
Sister Célestine Lambo Kembele, Congolese, provincial of the province of Congo – Kinshasa
Sister Ana María Campos, Chilean, ex-provincial of the province of Bolivia, Chile
Sister Mary Elizabeth Donlon, Irish, provincial of the province of Morocco
