238 BIRTH ANNIVERSARY OF MOTHER MARIA RAFOLS

November 5th is a Feast Day for all of us. We celebrate, together with the whole Church, the Feast of our Mother Maria Rafols.
238 years have passed since her birth and 25 since her Beatification, events of which God makes good news.
As Congregational Family, we join in thanksgiving prayer for her life, and we congratulate each other for the Charism we have inherited and we share, Sisters and Laity, in the five Continents.
As Congregational Family, we join in a trusting plead so that, from God and with her, we may continue discovering Him in the brethren and being expression of His Mercy day after day, "with the greatest care, with full detail, with all love".
We entrust to her intercession this time of welcome and deepening of the Conclusions and Agreements of our XXIX General Chapter.
In our General House we will celebrate this feast with a Eucharistic celebration at 19,00 h., in which we will give thanks to God, for the being and doing, for the holiness of our Mother Maria Rafols.
We count on your presence and your remembrance in order to celebrate and to give thanks together.
