12th July

Good Sunday to all of you! It is the day of the Lord!

at 7.15 am: We start with the Mass that gathers us around the altar of our Savior Jesus Christ. The animation is done by the Sisters of the Italian Province, with the participation of all of us and the songs in different languages of the reality of our Family.

P. Wladimiro in a short homely, gives an impetus to live our Chapter journey: "Have a big dream! Do not generate 'sheets' but 'children'! Go like the apostles behind the dream of the Kingdom of Jesus: do not think of saddlebag, sandals, walking-stick ... follow and realize the dream! "

at 8.10 am: after feeding our soul at the Eucharistic table, we move to another table to nourish our body with breakfast.

at 9.00 am: we go all together, sisters and lay people, in the chapter hall to receive joyfully the day's program.

The moderator Sr. M. Laura Grigis after the greetings, leaves the word to Mrs. Adriana, facilitator, who announces two days of study. The whole morning will be dedicated to the personal reading of the texts of the Basic Document that forms the 'Theoretical framework' of reference. We have to read them and underline the phrases and words that seem most important for us, that give us strength to go on, which are ideas that can brighten the progress of the journey of the Congregation. The same work will be done by the lays on their texts.

Before leaving the Chapter Hall, Sr. M. Lorena Carribale informs us of the death of a girl student of our School of Buenos Aires, 6 years old, and invites us to pray for her family and for the pupils and the teachers of the School.

at 3.30 pm: 2nd short meeting. The answers of the track work n. 3 are distributed to the Chapter members, translated into 4 languages as also the 5 critical points. On the latter the work of the afternoon will be done: we have to write personally, drawing from the readings of the morning, two strengh-ideas for each critical point, ideas that can enlighten us to solve them. Likewise will do the lays for their critical points.

From 7.00 pm to 7.30 pm each of us will bring in her personal prayer the job done during the day.

After dinner, free time!
