4th Day of the General Council






The feast of Ephiphany was a day of rest for the general council. After a day's rest we were back again to the meeting hall. The meeting began late as the General had some work in the Vatican. We began our business at sharp 11am and concluded for the lunch. 

Every year all the commissions have to send in reports of their activities,works and ministry to the general council for evaluvation. This time we had all the commission's reports which we read and noted their work and also some of their suggestion in order better their work. We also had some suggestions for the various commissions so that they all work according to the mandate given to them. It is praisworthy and noteworthy to mention that all of them are doing well and excellent. Most of the works carried out by them are done with a sincere effort of making known our capuchin charism.

The afternoon session once again was dedicated to the reading and studying of the various commission reports. We also had three mid term reports of the provinces. The reports were presented by one of the councilors and the second councilor then would add something which the first one did not mention. It is interesting to note the various positive happenings in the provinces. The friars life of prayer and apsotolate, life in the fraternity and other dimensions of life.
