Day 5

This morning we gathered to review the work of each commission including the areas of consecration, communion and mission. The dialogues have been truly enriching. We have discussed the reality of the Church and the World and how it affects us directly and indirectly. For example, we considered one of the most relevant social ills: individualism. We also talked about consumerism, hedonism, and narcissism. We are challenged to become true disciples of Christ in our society. We are aware that God has gifted our religious congregation with a rich spirituality we want to share with others. We ask you to continue praying for us as we try to find new ways to respond to the needs of the people we serve. We want to be relevant mystics and prophets as Jesus Christ Priest and Victim in the United States and wherever we go.
