My First Experience of the Chapter

    “The Church is not in this world to condemn, but to make possible an encounter with the visceral love that is God’s mercy. For this to occur we must go out. Go out from the churches and the parishes, out to the people where they suffer, where they hope”. These words of Pope Francis sum up for me the vision and the ministry of St.  Alphonsus. Our founder used to say that there are several Congregations doing the same work we do, especially the work of preaching popular missions. However he said that what characterizes us, is that we seek out above all, the most abandoned and poor, and offer them in a personal way the mercy of God.  ….. The second session of the Chapter was a good experience of brotherhood and community celebration for me. Being the junior most in the chapter I could experience the love and care by all. The discussions and deliberations of the chapter were in love and  fraternalism. According to me it was a time invested to make our goal and   a decision of something that we want to accomplish. Whether it’s make good grades in our animation of the province or apostolic work, be a good community man, be a good person, go down and do some service.
