In keeping with our program, today we continued our rapid and lively review of the situations of the countries in which we are present. The members of the assembly all opened their hearts to listen to what our sisters of Japan, Korea, Pakistan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore and Vietnam had to tell us. Many needs, challenges and hopes emerged. We were energized by what we heard and felt in our hearts the echo of our Founder’s words: “Where are the many peoples of immense Asia and promising Oceania heading?”
 
The information our sisters shared with us has given us a glimpse of very different situations and is helping us build a common “platform” of knowledge that will be very useful in our work of redesigning, which is the goal of this meeting. We are already asking ourselves how to tackle the challenge of keeping in step with our always up-to-date apostolate and also the challenge of how to “cross paths” with young people so as to dialogue with them about life’s values.

Sr. Antonieta Bruscato urged us to participate to the maximum in this journey–to take a quality step forward in our creativity and apostolic passion.

Before ending this news flash, we want to also say how grateful we are for the exquisite Asian hospitality that has been shown to us. In contrast to the rain of these days, our sisters of the PMPT Province “shine” like the sun through the delicate forethought, service and warm welcome they are so generously lavishing upon us.
