First Day of the General Council Meeting


 Br. Sergio presenting his report of the canonical visitation in Brazil


All the Councilors and General Minister has returned after their visits to various provinces in the World. Some had chapters to conduct, others had conferences meetings and still others fraternal and canonical visitation of the provinces to be conducted. All have returned with a load of experiences to share with each other. We began this morning our council meeting invoking the Holy Spirit. The General welcomed one and all. After which we went through the minutes of the Last council meeting. After some corrections and suggestions the minutes were approved.

Then we took up the agenda which has a lot of reports of the various visits, chapters and conference meetings. The sharing by the councilors was very rich and informative. It is good to know that the Capuchin life and charism lived in different parts of the world is very interesting to know.
The first session we terminated for Lunch and we shall meet again for the second session in the afternoon.
Its raining since yesterday here in Rome. The temperatures have come down otherwise it was hot these days.
