Anniversary of St. Joaquina’s Easter: Voices from the XXVIII General Chapter

On this special day, on which we commemorate the anniversary of the Easter of our Saint Joaquina, we are immersed in the moving echo of the recent General Chapter XXVIII. A meeting that invited the Chapter Sisters to explore, reflect and strengthen the bonds of the Congregation in a unique and profound way.

From Asia to Europe, from Africa to the Americas, the voices of our sisters resounded with gratitude and excitement as they shared their experiences during the chapter and sent their congratulations for this day.

I thank God through our Blessed Mother Joaquina for the gift of an enriching and renewing experience of this chapter. I will also return home with a greater awareness of co-responsibility for the present and future of our Delegation and Congregation.

The Lord has said: “My grace is sufficient for you, because my strength is fully realized in the weak…. When I feel weak, that is when I am the strongest”. Cor2,9-109

In the General Chapter I am experiencing intensely that God works in my weakness Hallelujah!

Thank you because the Chapter has been an invitation to learn, to be open, to understand, discover and embrace the sacredness of the moment.

It has led me to open my eyes, my mind, my heart and to live my daily life with passion and love for our Vedruna family.
