Tuesday, October 28, 2008 

During our prayer, we wish Sr. Christine Sri Murni, provincial of Indonesia, “happy birthday”, and we think of India which celebrates the “Feast of Lights”.

The back of the Sala Pia is decorated with a large triptych on which is written the words of Mary of the Passion, our foundress, in three languages: “The world is our country”.

In the center there is a world map and beneath it the flags of the 44 countries  represented in our Assembly.

The wind is strong today, and so the Holy Spirit and the Light invoked in our prayer will soon send us again in mission at the end of the Chapter. 

At present, the Capitulars receive a second edition of the final document to reflect upon both personally and in groups, with this question: “ In what way does this text reflect the spirit and work of the Chapter, and how can we help the sisters of our provinces enter into this spirit”? 

Afterward there is open dialogue in the Assembly as each part of the text is reviewed. Perhaps tomorrow the text will be put to vote? 

After supper we continue our virtual journey to the provinces, going to Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
