On the feast of St. Matthew, the Apostle, Fr. Johnson V. Kumar, SDS celebrated the Holy Eucharist at the start of the day. As we are in an important phase of the general chapter, discernment on the future leadership of the congregation for the next six years, Fr. Johnson concluded his homily with the message that we are called by God’s mercy, there is nothing in us that made us qualified for his mission. It is purely His grace and mercy that brought us to this place. We are called to spread mercy, and it is His merciful care that builds us up together as a congregation.
Today the capitular greeted Mr. Mattheiu Daum, Facilitator of our General Chapter
The whole day was spent in sharing by groups and to the plenum the constellations of the future Generalate Team who sounded strongly to each and every capitular, after their prayer. The capitulars tried to feel the strong convergencies in the group sharing and the strong leaning of the Holy Spirit as we name names for the Generalate leadership team.
Prayer in silence enveloped the atmosphere in the late afternoon, and this will flow until the following day.
