Closing of the 21st General Chapter
September 20, 2024: Today, the 21st General Chapter was officially closed. After final discussions, the Closing Document was read, and the capitulars and guests signed the document that will guide the General Council for the next six years.
The Capitulars shared their gratitude for the intercultural experience during the Chapter. The young Sisters, who were guests, were especially grateful because the charism was brought to life. The chance to participate was a spiritual and personal opportunity.
In her closing remarks, Sister Margarete acknowledged everyone’s contribution to the Chapter. She thanked the Sisters for their openness and vision and quoted the Lenten Homily 2024 of Bishop Dr. Felix Genn, who had referred to this passage from Proverbs 4:23:
With all vigilance, guard your heart, for in it are the sources of life.
