After waiting for nearly two years, the General Chapter of our Order will begin tomorrow, 9th April.
Sisters from each of our communities in 5 countries will participate by video-conference. Today is a special day of prayer, silence and fasting to help us all to prepare.
Please join us in prayer, as we approach this important ecclesial event, and enter into Holy Week.
See the post of 11th February for more information.
Prayer for General Chapter Lord God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and our Father, Send on us your Holy Spirit of power, love and wisdom, so that during our days of meetings we will faithfully accomplish your will, for your glory and the service of your church.
Enlighten us by your light. Give us a humble, peaceful and simple heart. Place within us an intelligence that understands your designs and a will that submits to yours. Keep us one in unity and fraternal communion, so that we will know how to listen to each other and help each other to discern the truth that is in Jesus Christ.
Watch over our words, bless our work, Direct our deliberations, inspire our decisions. Help us to imitate the Blessed Virgin Mary, ever faithful to your word and actions. Help us to recognise you, we pray, as Lord, living among us, through Jesus-Christ, our Lord. Amen
