Well, yesterday… …it did not rain. Today the sun has returned to us, this time with a humid heat, which invites us to be patient and reminds us that the Lord is preparing something, or rather someone, for us.

On Thursday, 26th May 2022, the 29th General Chapter of the Society of the Missionaries of Africa re-elected Father Stanley LUBUNGO Superior General.

The weather in Rome has become damp and heavy. It is as if creation, preparing a rain, wants to join the members of the Chapter entering in the process of the election of the Superior General. The atmosphere is serious and dense. It invites to reflection and prayer, listening and welcoming.

Stéphane Joulain gave an overview of the initiatives of the last six years in the field of ministry integrity, both at the level of society as a whole and at the level of the provinces. He assisted the provincials and provincial delegates in their work of animating the confreres in this area.

The dynamic of listening continues at the beginning of the second week of the Chapter, this time with the different secretariats: Justice and Peace, Integrity of Creation, Initial Formation, the Brothers’ Forum, the sharing of our charism with the laity and tomorrow the integrity of the ministry. I remind you that the capitulants are still in the process of “seeing” and sharing both in groups and in plenary. No decision is taken at this stage.
