"It's not your work, it's mine"



The past three days of the chapter were a bit hectic and brain-draining because they have just started the discussions on the Lineamenta and the motions that were presented for approval. As of this moment, we haven't got yet some documents as regards to the result of their discussions. The committee in charged is having a hard time digesting everything that came across in the assembly. Discussions on some fundamental principles on the Social Doctrines of the Church is not easy task. Maybe because among the voluminuos doctrines that the Church has made, this is one of those whom church people don't pay so much attention. That's why it is called the best hidden secret of the Church.


In the meantime, our delegates confreres are actively animating in the daily functions of the chapter such as in the liturgy and of course in the lively discussions during the group work. Group discussions has been done in four major linguistic groups (English, Italian, French, Spanish). Majority of the capitulars speak and understand English. Expectations are booming as to the, who will be the next general. History would speak, if I'm not mistaken, most of our general superiors have been reconfirmed for another term. Let's hope and pray that the Holy Spirit will always guide our capitulars to discern with clarity and intelligence for this task.

Keep in touch and send your comments and reflections during these days. We can expect some delays as far as updates are concerned due to the seriousness of the on-going discussions that they need to polish well the documents before releasing it.
