In this Easter, time of new life and renewed hope, we want to unite ourselves to the joy of the Risen One who continues to be present in our journey as Vedruna Family. From this certainty that sustains and drives us, we share the Easter greeting of the General Team, inviting us to welcome this time as a grace and horizon for the future:
“We cultivate the flower of Hope among the wounds of the Risen One.” – Pedro Casaldáliga
As we continue to cultivate Hope as a people on the way, please receive our greetings of Happy Easter.
General Team Sisters
In this same key of hope and life that is reborn, we make available to the entire Vedruna Family the final letter of the Extended General Council (EGC) 2026, held in Vic from March 9 to 23, within the framework of the Bicentenary of the Congregation.
These have been intense days of meeting, listening, discernment and prayer, in which the General Team, the Provincial and Delegation Teams, together with the various international commissions, have studied in depth the road we have traveled since the XXVIII General Chapter and the challenges that lie ahead for the coming years.
The letter that we make available today gathers the most significant resonances of this process, the signs of new life discovered in the midst of the pruning, and the lines that will guide our journey as a Congregation and Charismatic Family until the next General Chapter.
This document is born from the experience lived in the EGC: an experience deeply marked by synodality, hope and creative fidelity to the charism of St. Joaquina de Vedruna. From Vic, the place of our origins, we listen again to the call to be “born again”, welcoming with confidence the action of the Ruah that continues to raise life in the small and the everyday.
The letter looks especially to the next triennium and invites us to continue growing in:
- Intercultural and synodal life
- Integral care of people and creation
- The shared mission as a Charismatic Family
- Vocational culture and walking with young people
- The reorganization of structures at the service of the mission
With Easter joy, we invite you to read it, pray it and share it in communities, projects and mission spaces.
May the Lord’s Easter renew our hope and impel us to continue weaving life, justice and charity wherever we are.
