Day Two Recap of the Consultative Meeting

Counting blessings and finding all of them right here

Our second day of the consultative meeting began with a solemn and inspiring opening prayer led by Sr. Patricia Godoy, our General Assistance. This spiritual start set a reflective and focused tone for the day's proceedings.

Following the prayer, Sr. Eliane Azevedo, our General Superior, guided us through the consultation process. Her presentation highlighted some fundamental points of consultation of the regional superior based on our Constitutions and Statutes. Immediately after Sister Eliane's presentation, Sr. Patricia continued by providing a brief orientation on the day's activities and how everything will flow. Her guidance ensured a smooth transition into the main events of the day.

Sisters were then invited to participate in the Eucharistic Adoration. This sacred time allowed us to pray and reflect, offering a moment for us to thank God for the leadership of Sr. Barbara and her council and to pray for the upcoming.

Our day concluded with a deeply moving Eucharistic celebration, presided over by Father Tamene Asaro Safato, the Regional Superior of the Consolata Missionaries (IMC) in Ethiopia. We also prayed for our current Regional Superior and her council thanking God for their services and dedication for our region in the past three years.

“Our relationship with each other matters, our spirituality matters, our closeness to God and to each other matters. Today's passage invites us to prioritize our relationship with God. This relationship will yield profound spiritual benefits. “ Fr. Tamene Asaro Safato, Regional Superior IMC Ethiopia.

The combination of prayer, reflection, and structured consultation created a day of unity and purpose, all focusing on the greater glory of God.

Gathering in God’s glorious presence, praising and thanking His forever!
