CIL 2010: DAY 14: THE END IS NEAR
We began our day with a clear realization that the first and most prominent phase of our CIL Gathering: Understanding and Living Lasallian Association Today will conclude tomorrow as our Lasallian lay partners prepare to return to their homes an home ministries. The immanence of this departure was captured in a moving morning prayer as each participant gazed into the eyes of another and gave a greeting of association and respect.
The process of creating a unified declaration or statement as a collaborative effort of each of the three language groups was nearing completion as final comments, suggestions and group documents were submitted to the “writing committee” to prepare a final draft which will be the focus of our discussion on the final day tomorrow.
The afternoon session allowed participants to share information about planned individual, group or District projects that will be some of the action steps that participants will take to their home ministries and which will continue the process of energizing the movement of Lasallian Association for Mission.
All participants, but especially those of us from the USA, were surprised to see a huge turkey (cooked of course) in the middle of the dining hall as we entered this evening for dinner. So we did celebrate Thanksgiving here in Rome and it was a joyous event.
