29th General Chapter of Franciscan Sisters FJCM

General Chapter Wisdom Statement 2015

Go forth! Be a blessing in the heart of the world.

Inspired by our Franciscan spirituality and the charism of M Clara,

we share our lives in faith, joy and love, becoming sources of

reconciliation and inspiration

in the world.

Through contemplation, we move together out of ourselves,

opening ourselves for others, in particular, to the cry of the poor and suffering.

Acknowledging our gifts and limitations, we reach out anew to those in need.

Treasuring our congregational diversity,

we create respectful and loving relationships with each other and all creation.
