Dearest Sisters,
We conclude the Interchapter with a profound feeling of gratitude to the Lord who guided us. We also want to thank all of you for affectionately accompanying us with your prayers.
During the last 4 days of our meeting, we focused on determining our priority and some concrete ways to continue our journey toward the 11th General Chapter, seeking to adapt our rhythm of life to the needs of our communities. Continue reading
… O Gesù, trasformarmi in te, come san Paolo; vivit in me Christus: possedere la tua sapienza
come san Paolo mi raccomanda; o Gesù, tu hai sete di anime, ed io voglio ardere di zelo, come
san Paolo essere tutto infuocato del tuo amore, divorato da esso.
«L’amore del Cristo ci spinge, ci possiede»
Canto di adorazione: Adoramus te Domine…
G. È bello concludere, davanti a Gesù Eucaristia, queste giornate di grazia. Il Maestro Eucaristico è la fonte della vita paolina. Siamo nate nell’eucaristia per divenire eucaristia, pane spezzato per la vita di molti. E, dall’eucaristia, il Maestro ripete a ognuna di noi: «Venite a me…». «Andate…». «Io mando su di voi colui che il Padre mio ha promesso».
Rimaniamo in adorazione e lasciamo che dal nostro cuore esploda il grazie per la ricchezza dei doni che il Signore effonde continuamente sulla Chiesa, sulla Congregazione, sulla Famiglia Paolina. Continue reading
Siamo giunte alla conclusione del nostro Intercapitolo e dal cuore sale il ringraziamento e la lode per quanto il Signore ci ha permesso di vivere in queste giornate di grazia, accompagnandoci con la sua benevolenza e aiutandoci a superare, nella pace, anche qualche “imprevisto, soprattutto di salute.

We live in a time where information has become very accessible. What were once confined within the walls of a library have now been opened and freed by internet technology. What was once an expensive international phone call can now be done for just a few coins. Digital publications have made it possible for me to carry a hundreds books, saved in this small device. Now more than ever, people are constantly accessing information — whenever and wherever they need them. If Alberione were alive today, he would be certainly thrilled to see how information travels a million times faster than the fastest Frecciarossa train. Continue reading
In these last days of our work, we are experiencing the truth of the Latin dictum Motus in fine velocior (The journey gets faster toward the end). In fact, things are moving ahead rapidly because we don’t want to find ourselves without enough time to deal with the important matters needed to conclude this Meeting well. Continue reading
The Word, which the Liturgy offers us every day, continues to accompany us in a very effective and surprising way, recalling us to the foundations our apostolic vocation, as Fr.Valdir Castro, Superior General of the SSP, reminded us in his sermon this morning. To our great surprise, he came to the house this morning to concelebrate the Liturgy with the Pauline priest who is providing this service for us. In his homily, Fr. Valdir focused on the theme of our Interchapter Meeting, Continue reading
Quando credi… (16 settembre)
La mia riflessione e preghiera sulle letture di oggi mi ha fatto intravedere quanto sia importante CREDERE.
Nel brano tratto dalla prima lettera ai Corinzi, san Paolo presenta un’argomentazione per convincere la gente circa la risurrezione. Continue reading
Collaboration on the continental level: is it just a dream? Or is it a value that offers us the chance to grow? These are the two questions we focused on today in our group work as we evaluated our efforts in this area. In the last few years, our circumscriptions have made some progress in collaboration in the spheres of the apostolate and formation, and have experienced how beneficial it is to be open to the sisters of the same continent and get to know them better.
