Day 1 Today is the first day of the XIV Provincial Chapter and the XVII elective chapter of the Province of Saint Vincent Ferrer of Taiwan. The day began with a solemn mass of the Holy Spirit presided by Fr. Jarvis who is also invited to accompany us in his role as assessor/ adviser for the chapter. During the homily, the main celebrant shared with us his brief reflection on the Easter apparition of the Risen Christ among his disciples on the evening of Easter. He not only proved to them that He has resurrected, bestowing on them the renewing breath of the Spirit but also entrusting to them the mission of being witnesses of His victory. It is with this same Spirit of life, which shall animate us to discern with prudence, respond with generosity, and take decisions with courage and making oneself as instruments of God in love and humility. As per tradition, the names of the sisters who had died during this triennium were mentioned by name during the mass. Those deceased sisters who had worked in the missions in Taiwan were also included in the memorial. The first session began at 9:30 in the morning after a brief prayer and silent adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. The Provincial Prioress presented her report on the state of the Province before the assembly. The sisters from Guam joined the assembly through livestream via ZOOM. The second session in the afternoon was dedicated to the reports of the different communities. In contrast from the previous chapters, the Provincial Prioress wanted that the respective prioresses of communities or their delegates be the ones who shall present the corresponding reports. The afternoon ended with all the communities and apostolic institutions reporting. |

Es el primer dia del Capitulo Provincial. Comenzo el dia con una misa solemne del Espiritu Santo presidida por el P. Jarvis que nos acompañará a continuación como asesor del capitulo. Durante la homilía, el padre nos compartió una breve reflexión sobre la aparición del Resucitado entre sus discípulos en la noche de la pascua, otorgando a los suyos el Espiritu renovador and encomendándoles la misión de ser testigos de su victoria. Este mismo Espiritu de vida nos animara para discernir con prudencia, responder con generosidad, tomar decisiones con valentía y hacerse instrumentos de Dios en amor y la humildad. Según la tradición, los nombres de las hermanas fallecidas durante este trienio fueron mencionadas por nombre durante la santa misa. Así mismo las hermanas fallecidas que fueron asignadas o han trabajado en las misiones Formosanas fueron incluidas en la oración de la comunidad. La primera sesión comenzó a las 9 :30 de la mañana después de una breve oración y adoracion al santísimo. La Priora Provincial presentó su relato sobre el estado de la Provincia. Las hermanas de Guam asistió a la asamblea por medio de ZOOM. La segunda sesión por la tarde se dedica a los informes de las comunidades. En diferencia de los capítulos anteriores, la Priora Provincial ha querido que las prioras respectivas o las delegadas sean las que presentan los relatos correspondientes. Terminamos la sesión de la tarde con todas las casas y instituciones de la Provincia. |
