Wednesday, October 29, 2008 

Last evening, an unexpected treat. We all gathered in the big dining room to feast the new St. Michael’s community: the Superior General, the Secretary General, the General Bursar and the eight general Councilors!

There was a welcoming speech, lovely supper, songs and dance  which gave great joy and a welcome relief from the work. (See photos).

Today is a long and difficult one reserved to the propositions and amendments to the final Chapter Document. There are many types, the form, the translations, the meaning of words, etc. The Capitulars are full of energy  and courage, even though there are only three days left before the closure of the Chapter! 

Since time is passing quickly, this evening we will take the tour of the provinces of South Africa, France/ Switzerland and Italy…virtual of course!
