We members of the Philippine Dependent Delegation had come together for three days ( April 29 to May 1 ) to reflect on the theme : RESTRUCTURATION OF LIFE AND MISSION ONE FAMILY ONE HEART.
The resources for reflections are those of the Holy Father specifically his letter for the consecrated people in this consecrated life year ( on expectations and aims ) and on one of the latest circular letter of Mother General Maria Soledad Galeron . The dynamics of the encounter : small group for sharing , reporting and plenary, clarification of some matters , presentation of proposals / suggestions for the coming provincial chapter and the making of the concrete action as our form of our Pledge of commitment and the creation of the different committees for the coming chapter.
We thank God for all had been well with the help and cooperation of so many people : thanking the delegation for the initiative, the retreat house personnel for the accommodation and food, the support of the formation personnel and the formands and those who accompanied us in their prayers.
Thank you so much .
May God look upon us with mercy and grant us his grace to keep us going , growing and glowing in the sight of God.
May our Blessed Mother teach us ponder everything in our hearts and keep us to be ever faithful to follow his Son Jesus.
