Rome (Italy). The Chapter continues … the Chapter members live intense days of reflection and study with an eye also to the life of the Provinces that they follow with prayer and the offering of their commitment to the mission.

Sr. María Marleny Patino Osorio, Provincial of the Colombian Province of St. Mary Mazzarello – Medellin (CMM), President of the Interprovincial Conference of Bolivarian Nations, shares the expectations of CINAB regarding the XXIV General Chapter.

“As Pope Francis says, the General Chapter must be an ‘upheaval’ that makes us look beyond, that makes us go out…; that urges us, excites us, makes us come out of ourselves, and makes consecrated life more credible.

How? By advancing in the experience of communion that allows us to live in synodality by giving concrete witness to it. Continuing to walk in building the culture of encounter, in synodal work, in a plural context with no boundaries, because in this way the new prophecy becomes real.

In this way we hope to:

– Make the life of prayer grow with a strong and consistent faith, to be women open to the Spirit, to testimony to life as witnesses, prophets, embodying the values of the Gospel.

-Live Consecrated Life in a radical way, faithful to the charism, with adherence to Jesus Christ and His plan.

– Renew personally and as a community the vocational freshness that does not remain only in the objective.

– Reflect and discern in the formative processes. Embrace the identity, the one given by the Spirit and recreated by Don Bosco and Mother Mazzarello

– Strengthen the apostolic life together with the laity and young people, with the missionary daring to go out to meet the poor.

– Become, like Mary, expert women in listening to God, to people, and to the suffering of young people.

To be communities that generate life in today’s history.”
