It was with great joy and consolation that our Founding Father informed the Congregation about their approval, inviting the sisters to <em>\u201cgive thanks to the Lord for everything and try to be very diligent in complying with the [\u2026]Constitutions, approved and blessed by our Lord, in the person of his vicar on earth\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As you were informed in the last circular letter, we chose this date to begin the <strong><em>process of revising the Constitutions and Directory<\/em><\/strong>, a very meaningful task for the entire Congregation in this sexennium. We are seeking not only to make some changes to adapt them to the present-day reality, but also to <strong><em>revisit our \u201cBook of Life<\/em><\/strong><em>\u201d, to revitalize our vocational identity as women who have consecrated their life to Jesus, witnesses of his compassion and mercy for the sick and all those who suffer<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I would now like to address each and every one of you to share a few reflections that might help us to face the journey that we are about to begin as an opportunity for personal, community and congregational revitalization, a true conversion, like the one that Pope Francis asks of the entire Church in <em>Evangelii Gaudium: \u201cdevote the necessary effort to advancing along the path of a pastoral and missionary conversion [\u2026], ecclesial conversion as openness to a constant self-renewal born of fidelity to Jesus Christ; [\u2026] undertake a resolute process of discernment, purification and reform\u201d<\/em><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>REVISION PROCESS OF THE CONSTITUTIONS AND DIRECTORY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The need that has been felt in recent years to completely revise our legislation was captured in the Chapter Document in the following way, <em>\u201cEmbarking throughout the Congregation on a spiritual process which will drive us forward to revitalize our vocational identity by revising the Constitutions\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In this proposal, we find the main characteristics of the journey that lies ahead, a journey which, in a spirit of creative fidelity, impels us to \u201crevisit\u201d our <em>Book of Life, <\/em>the synthesis of an itinerary following Jesus according to the charism of Hospitality, and \u201c<em>a reliable criterion in their search for the appropriate forms of a witness which is capable of responding to the needs of the times without departing from an Institute\u2019s inspiriation\u201d<\/em><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I will now try to deepen each one of the elements of the proposal, and stress some aspects which are crucial in order for us to achieve the desired results: the <em>revitalization of our vocational identity<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalarias.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/CONG-2019-39-English.pdf\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalarias.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Inglat-0-CELEBRACION-DEL-INICIO-RC-16.03.19.pdf\">Pamphlet for the opening celebration<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>16 March, begin the process of revising the Constitutions and Directory, a very meaningful task for the entire Congregation in this sexennium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":50239,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[588],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
