This was the first day of the three-day virtual meeting in preparation for the 29th General Chapter. The participants are the delegates, substitutes, and invited. In no time, the screen was populated with Sisters&#8217; joyful faces and their echoing hellos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\">After technical orientation, the prayer began. It was on the Chapter theme: <em>The love of Christ impels us, let us move forward in the footsteps of Saint Marie Rivier.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\">The main goal of the first day was to get to know one another. S Hort\u00eancia Ubisse showed a video presenting the the delegates, substitutes and the invited to the 29th General Chapter. The session was facilitated by S Marian Murcia. She is our General Chapter facilitator. She hailed from Spain and is a member of the Congregation of the Holy Family of Bordeaux.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Mother Maria dos Anjos welcomed and thanked everyone for their presence in this Pre-Chapter Assembly. Her message nourished us as we are moving toward the General Chapter days. She pointed out the dynamism of Synodality in the Church to which vitality we are also called to prepare for our General Chapter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\">She urged us to prepare for this event <em>\u201cwith our feet firmly planted in our concrete reality and our eyes fixed on the future, where the Lord Jesus is calling us\u2026\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Then, the participants were divided into small groups. The 40-minute sharing gave them enough time to express how they felt when they were elected; to share a symbol or image or the Word of God that accompany them. &nbsp;Some Sisters shared their experience and insights during the session in the main room. At the end of the session Mother thanked everybody and most specially Sr. Marian.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\">It was time to say goodbye. For some Sisters, the day was closing, while for others, the day was just beginning!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Welcome message:<a href=\"https:\/\/soeurs-de-la-presentation-de-marie.org\/pom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WELCOME-MESSAGE.pdf\">WELCOME MESSAGE<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; General Chapter is a celebration of our common unity, heritage and identity.
