As we walk through the Jubilee Year of the 125th anniversary of the Death of Blessed Maria Clara of the Child Jesus, we are living a time of grace, renewal and deep thanksgiving. We are called to reflect on the abundant blessings bestowed upon our Congregation and continue to walk with our Foundress to have opportunities to reflect on the immeasurable Good News, which the great Jubilee “Pilgrims of Hope” offers us.
These days of encounter will be an opportunity to deepen our understanding and experience of the Franciscan Hospitaller spirituality and Charism, on the paths of a Hope that is life, and that does not leave us on the sideway, but strengthens and impels us to move forward, with new vigour and new desires for more. Let us strengthen our bonds and seek more deeply the path of faith to fulfil our Congregational mission in the world.
May our hearts remain united in prayer and gratitude as we embrace these and many other moments of grace together.
Superior General
Sr. Shirley Ninfa Fernandes
