The new Provincial Superiors and Superiors of Delegation

To all the Sisters of the Provinces and Delegations of the Institute

“Our Institute, present in all the continents, forms one single Religious Family, animated by the same charismatic inspiration, the same passion, for the one mission and fidelity to the same Rule of Life” (RoL 78)

Dear Sisters,
on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, which begins the New Year, I announce the appointment of the Provincial and Delegation Superiors.
To her I entrust our “humble Institute” that, as one Family, we continue our journey in the 32 Nations in which we find ourselves.

On this day, in which we celebrate the 54th World Day of Peace, we invoke this gift for all humanity, for our Institute and for each one of us, we ask the Lord for the grace to be instruments of His peace.
At this period, the whole human race is living in a particular time, and we are called to face new challenges together with courage and evangelical responses, to walk a new part of “our” history in fraternal communion, with trust and hope.

Thanks

I thank the Sisters who have carried out the service of Provincial and Delegation Superiors, for their commitment to formation, to increase the family spirit and the sense of belonging that creates unity; for having fostered collaboration and strengthened the ministerial impetus in response to current needs.

My thanks go to the Sisters who have accepted the new mandate with availability and generosity and are willing to begin their new mission. We go forward to receive them with fraternal affection, with a welcome based on faith and concrete gestures that help them to overcome the fear of a challenging beginning. May the homily of Pope Francis, on December 24, 2020, be an inspiration and a help for them.

Dear Sisters, let us continue with the process for the formation of the Provincial and Delegation Councils. You are now called to express yourselves on the Provincial and Delegation Councillors whom you deem most suitable and are able to collaborate actively and prudently in communion with the Superior of your Organism in the service of authority.

Let us invoke the Lord Jesus so that through the action of His Spirit, may He be the inspirer of our choices.

Together with the Councillors, I greet you with affection

P. S. I refer to the Attachment of my letter dated November 1, 2020, the completed forms are to arrive in the Generalate, Rome by January 25, 2021.
