Thursday, October 30, 2008 

Our day is still full. In the morning the Capitulars share the “ non-dits” and afterward in groups, share their plans for the transmission to their provinces. 

In the afternoon there is a moment to complete the evaluation forms and we profit to say a big thank you to all the personnel. We hurry to see all the sisters who have worked  behind the scenes toward the realization of this great adventure, who have not counted neither days , nor hours, nor nights! Imagine how it would have been without those who worked in the offices, the welcome, the different services: secretaries, translators, photocopiers, those who have seen to the good functioning, the organization, documentation, liturgists, communications, travel and finances, in the dining rooms, the nurses….
Along with everyone we repeat again, a very warm thank you!

Our chef and all his helpers are vigorously applauded and thanked for having fed us so well, we are so many during these two months. We thank also all those who daily cleaned and arranged the whole house, everything fixed and put in order for more than 200 persons!
To all of you a big thank you!


Photo: We couldn’t do anything without these lay people!

We finish this intense time of Chapter with a Eucharistic adoration in the Sala Pia when each can freely give thanks to God.

This evening, general recreation to say “thank you” to the sisters of the communities of Grottaferrata. Dances and songs invite us to once again see the creativity of the different cultures.
