21 Clausura del XVII Capitulo General
From the early hours of the morning, during the closing Eucharist of this XVII General Chapter, we gave thanks to God for His mercy toward each one of us in this special time of grace and discernment. We reached the final goal with hearts full, but this is not the end of something that closes; rather, it is a seed that contains the germ of new life, the new stage we now face as a Congregation.
In her farewell words, our Prioress General, Sister Mary Jeanet Pintacasi, reminded us that “the return to our communities is the time to assimilate what we have experienced so that it may bear fruits of life.” “We have had a living experience of the presence of the Spirit in our sincere dialogues, in fraternity, and in the openness of heart, with the goal of listening to and following the will of God in the today of history.”
“We have taken significant steps to strengthen our identity and mission in congregational communion.” The motto, “Walking together to transform our life and mission,” is a call to continue the journey with renewed hope and commitment.
She also expressed words of gratitude to the Province of Spain, which has welcomed us like a mother in this time, and to the previous governing team that initiated and gave momentum to the changes that the universal Church is asking of us today.
To Mary, our Mother, under the title of Our Lady of the Rosary, and to our Holy Father Dominic, we entrust the protection and guidance of what now begins, so that the God who began the good work may be the one to bring it to completion, and that we may joyfully proclaim the Kingdom.
