The morning of May 3rd was dedicated to the election of the General Counselors.

The new General Government of the Hijas de Jesus is thus constituted:

– General Superior: Graciela Francovig

– 1st Counselor: Emelinda Falsis

– 2nd Counselor: Rosa Espinosa

– 3rd Counselor: Iris Altagracia González

– 4th Counselor: Magda Zhang

It is a moment of gratitude to God for all his ‘work’ in each of the sisters gathered in the GC and the whole Congregation.

You have been accompanying us, and these days have been days of prayer, reflection, dialogues... that have helped us listen to what the Spirit is prompting us in this moment of the Congregation, of the Church, and the world.

For this very special moment of election, we members of the congregation lived with depth, responsibility, and trust in sending all the sisters of the Congregation.

At the end of the election, we went to the chapel to thank God for each of them for their availability and for putting their particular gifts at the service of the universal good.

Starting as the new General Government of the Hijas de Jesus, we are grateful to Graciela, Emelinda, Rosa, Altagracia, and Magda.

There was also a beautiful gesture of gratitude to Sônia Regina, Teresa P., Thelma B., and Teresa Li for their service during these six years in the General Government as General Counselors. How much life has been committed each day and in every situation to the Universal Body, that only God knows!

From today, we will begin the phase of the “Treatment of Matters” expressed in the postulates that have come to us from the whole Congregation. After the work and discernment on them, the conclusions to which we hope the Spirit will lead us will be the ones that will direct us during the six-year period we are beginning.

“God wills it” guided Candida Mª de Jesús on her way, and so we hope, these words for this government team: may they be open to the Spirit who will indicate to them what the heart of God wants today for the world, for the Church, and the Hijas de Jesús.
