The Day of Ready-ing
Today, the Assembly had time to put things in order to enter freely into discernment for General Leadership. There was sharing, there was dancing, led by our own Susan! And there was a time of blessing for our outgoing General Leaders. Tonight all are gathered in Chapel for a time of Adoration, as we enter into these days together and discern those we wish to call as Leaders for the next six years. Please keep us all in prayer.
Seeking the Direction
The Members have been spending time in contemplation and sharing, seeking the direction for the next six years.
Some Scenes from the space we share
As you know, the theme of the General Assembly is ...At Your Word... Here are a few pictures of the space.
A Stop on the way home
We stopped at the parish of our Missionaries of the Precious Blood this evening. This one is on the periphery of Lima. They were having a festival, complete with BINGO! We were welcomed like VIPs!
Sunday July 16th
Today we drove for two hours to visit the birth place of St Rose of Lima. What a drive!, we traveled to the periphery of Lima, a very different part of the city. We climbed a mountain where parts of the road have been washed out and temporary dirt and stone take its place. We were 55 in a Pullman bus! At one point we came up a dirt road to find a temporary bridge to cross, the bus had to back up to negotiate the turn onto this narrow bridge. I was not near the window, so I don't have a picture. I hope to get one from someone who did. It was amazing and a little unnerving as well. BUT, we made it and celebrated Mass there, visited and had a delicious chicken dinner. Tomorrow, we begin anew. Please keep our Assembly in prayer as these next days will be direction setting for the next 6 years.
Touring a little of Lima
We took a bit of drive and had a taste of Mira Flores! There is a mall there, many stores familiar to those from the USA. Would love to go back and just spend the day, but with 50 people to move around, we had a taste for now.
