Bethlehem - General Chapter

During the two day we had lengthy discussions which were proportional to the emphasis on the matters elaborated: the Acts of the Chapter are calling the congregation to be faithful to its charism and to hold firm to its implementation until the next chapter in 2017. The General Chapter official closing during the Eucharist In the late afternoon at which the participants renewed their religious profession. At the very end of celebration, Fr Gaspar gave each member a "baby Jesus", a symbol of the divinity (our treasure) hidden in humanity (our weaknesses). Such was the touching conclusion of the work of the Chapter over the last 16 days, which was a great gift of the Spirit.
