Simplicity and truth. This is what can be drawn from the words of Graciela Francovig, Superior General, this afternoon at the close of GC XVIII.
Determination of General Congregation XVIII
Rome, 21 May 2019
Tomorrow GC XVIII will end. After a whole month of trying to listen to the Spirit, trying to distinguish His voice among so many voices coming from inside and outside of ourselves, trying to be faithful to the life coming from the world, from the different Provinces and the one that each one brought; after much prayer, reflection, discernment, coexistence, conversations, sharing, assemblies, groups; after putting our whole life into play, trying to see where God wants us in the coming years.
We continue with the journey
Rome, 20 May 2019
Today we have continued our work, with personal reflection throughout most of the morning and assembly at the end of it and in the afternoon. And we ended the day by celebrating the Eucharist with Claudio Paul SJ., from Brazil, Regional Assistant for Southern Latin America. He has focused his words from the word "humility," beginning with what we said in the psalm: "Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to your name give the glory."
Eucharist with Arturo Sosa
Rome, 19 May 2019
Sunday. Day off. Day of rest. Day of going out. Of quiet prayer. Of tourism. Of re-reading the week. And of celebration.
More than an Audience (with POPE FRANCIS)
Rome, 15 May 2019
Today the day started a little earlier than usual. And in a different way than usual: today we went to the audience with the Pope.
