Voices which pave the way for the GC XIX
We asked each of the sisters who composed the Preparatory Commission what this collaboration in the GC XIX process has meant for them and what they are hoping for from the General Congregation. In the following videos you can listen to their responses and personal reflections.
These testimonials bring us closer to the silent but fundamental work that these sisters who with dedication and spirit of service have prepared the ground for our next congregational encounter.
Testimonials that awaken our hope
Dayse Agretti
“A beautiful experience of teamwork, of listening together, of dialogue, of discernment, and with the desire to listen in depth to the voices that have come from the provinces through the postulates. My hope for the next GC is an encounter which springs from the meeting of all the sisters who came from different places and sharing of what flows from a common vocation.”
Raquel Amigot
“My great hope is that we have been able to touch our truth and I think this gives us the possibility to recognize the gift we have received in our vocation to be able to respond to the cries of today’s world.”
Emelinda Falsis
“The process has been a rich and a profound experience for me, of listening and of encountering the realities of our Congregation. In the Prep Com we have established a friendship among us. We work with great joy and hope.”
Altagracia González (Iris)
“The hope I have for this GC is that we really be what we are, Hijas de Jesus, women of faith, women of hope; that we dare to truly listen to what the Spirit is asking of us at this moment and trusting in God our Father we will be bold.”
We continue on our journey… filled with hope
These testimonials invite us to remain united in prayer for the General Congregation XIX. We are grateful for the dedication of our sisters and we are confident that the Holy Spirit will continue to guide our steps as Hijas de Jesus.
We encourage you to also ask yourself: What gives you hope for GCXIX?
With our prayers, let us continue to accompany this important moment for our Congregation and charismatic family.
