Prayer
Andrew Rroublev, author of this icon, kept constantly in his heart this exhortation so often heard from the lips of his masters:
« Conquer the heartbreaking division of the world by the contemplation of the most Blessed Trinity ».
A few centuries later, Pierre-Bienvenu NOAILLES invited us to:
« Build a « new society » through the contemplation of the Holy Family, « gentle image of the Trinity».
OPENING OF THE VICARIATE CHAPTER – Sr Ana-Maria ALCADA
It is a collegial assembly: that means that it is a space where you are all co-responsible for the Vicariate. Even though you have been elected by a community, nobody here represents her community. Each delegate has the responsibility of feeling and acting in and for the Vicariate as a whole. I suggest that you adopt the method which the Pope recommended to the participants of the Synod on the Family: “Speak clearly and frankly and listen with humility.” An assembly is collegial when all present can express themselves with complete freedom.
I also want to pause at this point: “It …makes decisions based on the Constitutions, the orientations of the General Chapter, the life of the communities and the directives of the Church” so as to be able to put them into practice. This is one of the functions of the Vicariate Chapter.
The Orientations of the General Chapter are for the whole Institute, and the calls and challenges are the same for both Vocations. This Chapter will have to discern how to put them into practice according to your own specific Vocation…
The Contemplative Group of the Holy Family is the depository of a rich tradition nourished and sustained up to the present day by people who have given of the best of themselves in order to live it and to transmit it faithfully. You are the permanent memory of the Miraculous Benediction for the Family of P. B. Noailles, and in and on behalf of the Family you constantly give thanks for this gift; you also assure intercessory prayer for the whole Family and for the world. You are a group that points towards the unchangeable, the essential, the permanent… I thank you all for this…
