WIDEN THE SPACE OF YOUR TENT

REGIONAL CHAPTER: DECEMBER 26-28, 2011
Liane Rainville, dw

Even if Christmas is much celebrated in the Philippines, this time the Daughters of Wisdom had another reason to come together and celebrate in a different way. As Wisdom called us to our Regional Chapter of December 26-28, 2011 the fourteen of us coming from five countries were faithful to the rendez-vous and arrived full of enthusiasm to live with our whole heart and as one heart this special event.

Three days was indeed a short time to go through the planned activities but all had expected and accepted to have extended hours and so we did succeed in accomplishing all assignments. As always, the secretaries worked additional hours in order to produce the required documents on time. Our facilitator, Sr. Merle Salazar, dolsh led us smoothly and diligently to the end with competence, energy and with the felt desire to share our Wisdom journey. Rule of Life, concerns for the General Chapter, Policies, Statutes, last six years, specific questions passed under watchful eyes and were discussed and expanded to the future, one full of hope.

From the entrance ritual and prayer to the final hymn closing our triduum, we felt Wisdom walking with us. We knew the sisters from other entities were praying for us and we never let our Founders out of our sight and heart. Such communion cannot but widen the space of our tent already stretched with each sister’s commitment to her consecration, to her mission and to the international formation. May Wisdom continue to bless our path!
