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.

Upon our arrival from different parts of Asia and Australia, we were warmly and joyously welcomed by our sisters of the Philippines-Malaysia-Papua New Guinea-Thailand Province, who accompanied their greetings with colorful local pageantry. Together with the rain (very abundant in this season), we have also been showered with messages from FSPs and friends all over the world, assuring us of their communion and prayers for us.
 
The two beautiful Eucharistic Celebrations we participated in were rich in symbolism, “angelically” sung and danced, and created just the right atmosphere for the Superior General’s opening greeting on 10 September, followed by her challenging conference on the redesigning of our presences throughout the Congregation. Sr. Antonieta invited us to look not only at our concrete resources but also at the different spheres of our life that need revitalization, suggesting that in the coming days we cultivate the attitudes of listening to the Spirit and a readiness to work together.

In this spirit, we spent the afternoon listening to one another and comparing our particular situations with the trends emerging in the societal-cultural-religious-communications contexts in which we live and work. Tomorrow we will continue this work.

Meanwhile, our evening was enlivened by our sisters of the PMPT Province who, with extraordinary creativity, presented us with the beauties of their culture and the spirit of celebration and welcome characteristic of it.
