The commission of congregational Vincentian Youth Ministry, formed by sisters Joanna Gulz, Rebecca Polinar, Sandra Henríquez, Lola Jara, Loida Tortogo and Angélica Conde, had a virtual meeting on the 21st of July to evaluate the process of the work of the general lines. Sister Lila Rosa Ramírez, general superior, was with us.

Each one has been expressing what the work that has been done has meant for her, in the elaboration of this congregational commission. There was an echo of gratitude, joy, hope and enthusiasm for the process we have followed. It is considered a positive work, highly valued.

The presence of each sister from different continents has been a great richness and joy that has allowed us to work together towards a common goal, the elaboration of a general outline of the Vincentian Youth Programme for the whole congregation. Feeling that it is a great responsibility to work on something at such a general level.

 

It has been an experience full of learning, sharing our ways of being in the world of young people and living fraternity. It has been hard work, but with a good, inspiring and surprising result. The contribution of the charism makes us grow in the identity of belonging. A project bathed in the charism Palautiano.

During the work, we felt that our own vocation was renewed. The beautiful thing is that we do not start from a structure, but from our intuition and we have learned to listen, to welcome the contributions that can enrich the work. It has opened a door of hope for the future.

It is intended to be a living document that unites all demarcations in the mission with young people. For this reason, we want to share the good news with all Carmelite Missionary Sisters. Finally, we have given shape and life to the General Guidelines of the Congregation for Youth Vocation Ministry. In virtual meetings from November 2019 until July 2021, the commission for YVM has been able to finalise the work. Asking for input and enlightenment from people who are working side by side with young people today, in different latitudes.

We are grateful for the work, contribution and responsibility of everyone who has made it possible for us to reach this point. We have felt the presence of the spirit of God who has been giving us light and the spirit of Francisco Palau, our Founder, who encourages us to continue to bring communion in all our mission.

Now it is time for implementation at the congregational level and we are working on it.

                                               Thank you Sir!!!

          Thank you Lord!
