Third Day of the council Meeting

This morning we began with Br. Luis Eduardo, General Economus. As you all know that to be a Bursar and look after the economy is not easy. It is hard and difficult work. many times you go through unnecessary tensions and fraternal breakups. One is not understood and accepted for the volume of work that one does in the field of economy. The economo is not only responsible for maintaining the accounts but also sees how the monies can be recevied from various sources. His constant efforts to increase the treasurey is something that we must appreciate.
Br. Luis presented the accounts for the year 2013 and also presented budget for 2014 which was accepted and passed by the General council. The economic situation in Europe is not very rosy and day by day it is getting worse. So the Institutions and religious congregations are facing problems. Many have not been receiving donations which they were generously receiving from generous benefactors. Br. Luis has tried his best to maintain the equilibrium but the situation is not good enough. Let us pray that many donors come forward to donate.
He also briefed us about the renovation work going on at Curia. He said that 90% of the work is over and by august it will done and they will hand over the place to us. Good news. He supervises it. Every alternative days he visits the place.
