The Council’s work began on Tuesday, November 4, with a reflection given by Father Albert Kabala, General Councillor of the Marist Fathers, on the theme of the Letter to the Romans (Romans 5:3–5):
“… boast in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us.”
On Sunday, November 9, the members of the Council experienced a particularly meaningful moment as they made a pilgrimage to the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, during this Jubilee Year of Hope.
Afterwards, the participants shared lunch with the community of the Shrine of Our Lady of Miracles and the members of the Generalate.
