We pray for the General Congregation

We pray to you, Father, for the Daughters of Jesus,
in this time of the General Congregation.

Grant us to be docile to the Spirit,
the grace of discernment
which invites us to examine the paths we have traveled
and to choose what today would give more life to this Body in Mission.

Bless us with the gift of true listening:
to receive with reverence your Word in prayer,
in the voices that come to us from the wounds of the world
and in the sharing of each sister.

Give us your wisdom to be new wineskins,
flexible and open,
to receive the new wine that transforms
our vulnerability into possibility
and our longings
into greater vitality for the charism.

May Mary be the Star of our paths.
as she was for St. Candida Mary of Jesus.
We will make with Jesus a path of hope
together with all those who try a new way of being human,
of being Church and of being brothers and sisters.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit…
