THEY MAY HAVE LIFE AND HAVE IT TO THE FULL
On 12 June 2021, Sisters of our CMY, had our formative encounter with Sr. Runita Borja (General councillor for Youth Pastoral - Rome) with the theme: “Animating a Synodal Youth Ministry and Some Guidelines of Animation until our 24th General Chapter”.
The
encounter was arranged by the Youth Ministry team of “Mary, our Help Province” (CMY).
The Sisters from both countries actively participated in this unique encounter.
Sr. Runita emphasized that our Institute’s mission is Educational and we, the
FMAs are always “Educators wherever we are and whatever task we
do, in whatever season of life we find ourselves”. She also stressed in the indispensable
requirement for fruitful apostolic action is the formation of and responsible
participation in the Educating Community for the Integral growth of the person.
She
expounded the youth ministry educational mission in our Constitutions, plan of
formation and Guidelines for the Educational Mission (GEM). Coordination for
communion in the provincial youth ministry in synodal style helped us to
revisit our roles in our daily encounter with the young. This encounter
empowered us our passion for education for the young generation.
We
thank Sr. Runita for encouraging us and inspiring us in our educational
activities. Yes, to live “THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE AND HAVE IT TO THE
FULL” is our dream and action plan.
