The Opening of the General Chapter 2017

WHY?
Our life is full of questions, but the most often used is one: “WHY?”
This question is being said by children, youth, adults, even by those who are in old age.
Saying this question we want to know, most of all, the cause of pain, sickness, accident, disaster, misery, bad luck, adversity, etc., but seldom we say it in case of happiness, surprise, kindness, good lack, etc. This question we say to ourselves, to those around us, and very often to God. No matter how talented or smart we are, the answer to this question we often fail to find. Even people around us could not give us right answer. We listen to their answers more or less; therefore, not satisfied with the answers of people, we feel that there is Someone Who can answer. Thus, we turn to God with this question. “God, why did this happen to me?” “ God, why did this happen to my child, my relatives, my friends, others…” “Why?” “Why?” Can God give you the answer which will satisfy you? Do we listen to Him when He is talking?

The light of Christmas
“The world needs people who help others brighten hearts. “
(From the Book: A Light for you to pass on, p. 38)
In spirit, I approach you in this Christmas season of the Birth of the Redeemer of the world.
Contemplate the Christmas mystery as the light of hope, let us be encouraged by the words of our Venerable Foundress, Mother Alphonse Marie, ”Have courage! God is with you…” She had courage, especially, when it was the most difficult for everyone. Where she or her Sisters appeared, ”light shone in the darkness” because Christ, the Light of the world came with them.
