THE DAY OF THE ELECTION (JULY 27, 2017)

The night before the ELECTION the community did the ADORATION to the BLESSED SACRAMENT, asking the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT to enlighten us to be able to elect the right persons for our vice provincial government in accordance with the will of God.

                                THE CULTURAL NIGHT

ONE FAMILY with ONE HEART

The capitulars have journeyed together during the 10^th Provincial Chapter of the Vice Province of Asia here in Quezon City. As Capitulars, we came together to share our stories and good news and to listen to the stories to be more in touch with the roots of our Spirituality and Charism.  We have journeyed together. All the stories bind us into communion with God, with our sisters in the whole Congregation in the Vice Province, with the poor, the marginalized, our lay partners, collaborators, and other believers and with creation etc.

We really experienced God’s blessings through the Spirit who faithfully accompanied and guided us during this Chapter. We experienced the Spirit leading us in our common discernment processes on the elections and on the Chapter Document for 2015 – 2018.

In our journey we have stopped and stepped back to reflect on our mission, to evaluate and to discern where God wants us to go.  We have been nourished by the Word of God and by the sharing of our faith experiences.  With grateful hearts we praise the Holy Triune God for the abundant blessings we have received. We thank God for the present of Sr. Sole for her loving care, guidance, sacrifices, and joyful service in our common mission during the past weeks. We Thank the Lord also for Sr. Pepita for her commitment, dedication and collaborations for being the translator during the chapter. We felt how the Spirit was leading our Congregation through them in these days.

Now our mission starts anew. In the strength of the Holy Spirit we commit ourselves to continue to tell our stories, to bring the Good News with joyful hearts. We are on the way and Jesus is Our Way. With joyful hearts we praise and give thanks to our God.
