Two weeks of council meeting came to an end this morning. It was packed with many points and many decisions to be taken. But as usual we the council did it in a very fraternal manner. The deliberations and exchanges were very rich and fruitful too. The reports and many other urgent matters were eye openers and learning moments.......
The Local chapter was different from the other local chapters. Last chapter we had decided to share our life experiences and about work....It took more than one hour but it was very great experience to know about what the other brother feels and what he goes through in his life...All friars had a good word about the community....how they feel accepted and loved by one and all....The councilors who are here for short period did experience that they do feel the absence of the fraternity when they go to the province.....they miss the friars too.....
After the sharing we had some other points on the agenda which we discussed in a fraternal atmosphere. The General minister then made know certain decisions to the fraternity.
Bishop emiritus Angelo, Brazilian Capuchin who is 82 years old is with us for last few months....working on the canonization process of one of our friars. He is a great example for all of us...a man of prayer and fraternity...he too joined our local chapter.....great to have him amidst us...we pray that he lives long....he enjoys good health
