3rd EIL: day 4

January 30, 2018

The fourth day began with a beautiful and symbolic morning prayer led by the delegates from the Dominican Republic.

Spools of thread being passed on… symbolizing how the charism and spirituality of St Candida connects and unites us all….how her mission – our common goal –  binds us all together as one family. The Theme of the day is “Alone I can do nothing but with God I can everything.”

The first talk of the day was given by Mother General Sr. Maria Inez Furtado.
