Council of the Congregation
From 20 to 25 February, the members of the Council of the Congregation - appointed by the Superior General as preparatory Commission for the next General Chapter scheduled from 9 to 29 June in Chiang Mai (Thailand) - held a meeting at the Generalate in Rome.
It was the first Council of the Congregation in person, after the long years marked by the pandemic, which made it impossible to meet.
The days opened with a significant reflection by Fr. Pierluigi Nava SMM, Undersecretary of the Dicastery for Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, who was asked to present Religious Life in the current context and the prospects for the future.
Then the Commission listened to what emerged from the Regional Chapters, sharing the various reflections. From this material they tried to draw up a common theme that will be announced soon through the NEF of the month of March 2023.
The Council also took into consideration the organisation of the next Chapter.
Great availability, sincere listening and simple fraternity characterized this Council meeting. A good foretaste of what will be experienced during the General Chapter.
