Day 21 september: Family on mission, gift for a changing world.
Called to be Family on mission,
gift for a changing world.
Morning Prayer which centred on the one thing necessary – God Alone – invited us to free ourselves from al that prevents us from listening to God’s calls.
“Let nothing disturb you, nothing affright you. Everything passes; God alone remains. Who possesses God lacks nothing. God alone is sufficient”
After a brief look back at what we had worked on and experienced, a question was posed:
In the light of what we have heard from the Family and the different interventions, what are the calls that we now hear as a Family on mission, gift in a changing world?
Participants were invited to spend some personal time and then share in international and intervocational groups and bring their reflections to the assembly.
At three in the afternoon, the members of the groups shared the fruits of their reflections.
It was a rich sharing with a good deal of convergence and little by little a common thought, reminiscent of the experience of the first Christian communities, was built up.
After an hour and a half of listening and discernment during which the most important calls were expressed, the assembly gave the task of drafting the calls to a small team. The copy of the calls would be translated and brought to the assembly the following day.
There followed a period of free time during which the participants were encouraged to continue to reflect on this important stage of the work.
Today as on preceding days, the sharing of the Word took place in small groups and this was followed by the Eucharist in the big chapel.
¡¡¡¡ADELANTE FAMILIA!!!!
Desde Paraguay estamos muy pendientes y atentos a todo lo que nos va llegando, qué maravilla los temas, qué hermosa la vivencia que nos van transmitiendo.
Realmente tenemos un DON que no llegamos a dimensionar en su riqueza.
Están en la recta final y desde todos los rincones, donde la Familia de Pedro Bienvenido está presente les esperamos para ‘continuar juntos el camino’ y “Seguir Adelante”.
Mucho ánimo y nuestras oraciones les acompaña.
