Friday, October 10, 2008

The Assembly was asked for prayers for three intentions this morning:

The national feast of Taiwan, so the friendly and
   diplomatic relations may progress.

The global financial crisis may be resolved

To remember the first Franciscan martyrs
   in Morocco.

With the attached image we wish to pray also for all the martyrs of today in so many countries.

Today, Sr. Helen presents the two themes of the day: 

  1. How can we favor reconstruction, planning and collaboration towards a kenotic style of life?

  2. How can we gear formation towards a Franciscan kenotic style of life? 

The work method changes a little: 5 linguistic groups of choice deepen their reflection on “restructuring” and will share their findings this afternoon.
6 other linguistic groups of choice will study the theme of “formation” and share their findings later this afternoon. 

We end this day with an interesting exchange on the FMM Associates. The sharing done by a panel and animated by Sr. Françoise Massy, deals with experiences lived in Canada, Portugal, Italy and the Philippines. A discussion will follow, since there are other provinces with similar experiences. It is beautiful to see that Mary of the Passion’s charism is not given for us alone, but to share with the laity interested in knowing and following her path.
