spiritual Partnership II Order

Recently

"Unless the Lord builds the house, in vain do the builders" (Psalm 127)

was born a collaborative spirit between the SGF and the Capuchin Poor Clares. Some monasteries scattered throughout the world, after the request of the SGF, have enthusiastically accepted the proposal to form a "rose of prayer "to sustain and support the work of animation that the Minister General, through the SGF and all the UGF, done in the field of initial and continuing training of the Order. Currently
ten monasteries of ten lectures of the Order, have pledged to offer his prayers, each for a day of the week (see the cast ). Thus, each day of the week and all year round, our sisters are actively involved in supporting the work of animation training.
John Paul II wrote in his apostolic letter Novo Millennio Ineunte:
"In planning ahead, working with greater confidence in a ministry that gives priority to prayer, personal and community means respecting a basic principle of the Christian vision of life: the primacy of grace. There is a temptation which perennially besets every spiritual journey and pastoral work: think that the results depend on our ability to make and program. Certainly, God asks us really to cooperate with his grace and, therefore, invites us to use all the resources of our intelligence and operational capabilities in our service to the cause of the Kingdom. But not forgotten that, without Christ, "we can not do anything" (NMI 38) Members of the Secretariat
thank the dear sisters who have served with prayer and committed themselves to remind us to apply the words of the great John Paul II in our work. In thanking the monasteries and each sister has agreed to be part of this initiative, we extend the invitation to other monasteries, sisters and brothers who want to participate and be part of this collaboration spiritual. "Unless the Lord builds the house, in vain do the builders" (Psalm 127). Let us remember it all and often to make our lives and our actions as a work of God. Heartfelt thanks!
