After a journey from Inn to inn,
we arrive
at the Cenacle,
waiting and praying for the Holy Spirit, promised to us.
The central flame
inspires and draws us into the depth
of our charism and the new awareness that comes about
through the transformation process.
The fire and Light
carry us outward and upward to concretely live
our Vision in today’s world.
Hope
is expressed in the green shapes
lightly and freely placed to form a V (Vision)
The steps
continue indicating our ongoing journey beyond the chapter.
The beginning of an onward journey…
The day went on as anticipated with the final formalities of voting, signing the acts of the chapter, thanking, and the concluding message from Sr. Euphemia.

Neither the rain nor the dropping temperature could dampen our spirits as we are drawing to the close. Our enthusiasm and eagerness to take back home the experience of the Chapter was great as we worked in groups.
