General Minister addresses the New Provincials


The General Minister in his opening speech said the following. One Provincial must say that I am contended with my service. If one minister is tired the whole province gets tired., a volunteer service which needs big and large shoulders we are in difficult situations like sexual problems, friars who are away from the province.
General further said that I have council members who are collaborating with me. From last general chapter only two of us were elected and rest were new. A council with which we can dialogue, have communion. He confirmed and affirmed that If there is  no communion then it paralyses the provinces.
The minister who takes the decisions with the consent of the councilors is the one who is successful and efficient too. This meeting will help the provincial ministers as to How to govern and animate the province. How Curia can help you all to animate your provinces. He further said that Every council meeting we have many cases for dispensations, which is hard and painful. These days we will see how to help these brothers who have problems and interiorly suffering but in the order, don’t believe and have no faith. He quoted the words of Pope Francis: Real peace comes from a coherent life.
He siad that there are friars who say that Allow me to live my life and don’t disturb me. General said that There are provinces where the friars are not willing to get transferred, less force and desire to renew and get animated.
He concluded quoting once again about Pope Francis who said to all religious General ministers that you need to wake up the world with your religious vows and life. Nurture the world because the Holy Spirit will accompanies you.
