Soon after, the secretaries of the two mini-plenary explains the critical points of the life of the Congregation emerged yesterday afternoon. After carefully listening to the various points, the sisters underline the convergence and show how to unify the similar content in a single text. The discussion takes time and at the end relies on groups of two sisters the reformulation of critical points according to the given topic.
Meanwhile, it's time for lunch and the afternoon the program is as follow: meeting in the Chapter room to read the minutes from 5.00 to 6.00 p.m. and later listen to the reformulation of the critical points to approve them.
