There is a feeling of gratitude welling up in our hearts: gratitude for the Father’s unconditional love for each of us that we have experienced during these days of meeting in various ways, the inaugural Eucharistic Celebration and the various prayer moments, the warm welcome by Sr. Elizabeth George and her Sisters, the animation of Sr. Crescentia our PCI president, the contribution of our facilitator of the day, the inaugural address and the goodnight by our dear Sr. Kathleen Taylor – Presiding General Councillor, our sharings on the working document and gratitude for all the Sisters and helping staff of the provincial house of ours.

On 14^th April, many fruitful hours were spent in study and reflection of the working document of GC XXIII. Sr. Kathleen Taylor presented the document very clearly and invited the participants to study it from two perspectives: that of the PCI and of the Institute. After few hours of personal reading

of the document, the participants met in groups and then in general assembly for sharing and mutual enrichment.

Planning for the Liturgical and other significant moments of GC XXIII, discerning the future thrust of FMA India are some of the other significant points of our reflection.

The Gospel text depicting the two disciples of Emmaus enlightened our minds and hearts throughout these days of study and reflection.

Auxilium Provincial House Guwahati has its own charm and beauty and this year there is an added beauty which is brought by the loving and dynamic presence of our 17 young Junior Sisters. Their presence is actively felt in every corner of the house.
