February 8, 2022, Feast of Our Blessed Mother Esperanza de Jesús

All for Love

Dear Family of Merciful Love,

Thank you very much for the messages you have sent us!

Last night we participated in the Prayer Vigil in the Crypt. Today has been a beautiful spring day. Thirty-nine years ago, it was snowing when Mother Esperanza left to meet her Good Jesus. At 8 in the morning EAM, FAM, LAM and pilgrims formed a crown around the table of the Lord. This crown was so big because all of you were present in our hearts. The Eucharist was presided over by our brother Mons. Domenico Cancian. Fr. Piergiorgio Belloni SDFAM renewed his vows. “Dios es la causa de tanta alegría y de tanto gozo porque nos dió a la Madre Esperanza” (God is the cause of so much happiness and joy because He gave us Mother Esperanza).

Today we have worked on the topic of Charisma. At 5 we gladly returned to the Crypt. The Eucharist was presided over by our diocesan bishop, Bishop Gualtiero Sigismondi. When the Mass was over, the Bishop paid us a pleasant visit in the chapter house. He gave us the blessing. The third episcopal blessing in a day and we are sharing them with you.

Days before, the Mother General presented her Report on the state of the Congregation; the General Councilors the report on the sector they have coordinated. The Provincial Mothers and the Treasurers their corresponding Memoirs. We have done personal and group work as well as general assembly in a serene and fraternal atmosphere.

In Collevalenza it is already night. See you soon if God willing. Hugs!

Your Chapter Sisters
