MONDAY
Mass for the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows was celebrated by Jose Agustin Orbegozo (Italy) in Spanish.
At the beginning of the day the General Synod members were divided in linguistic groups.
The Facilitator, Sr. Christine Anderson, then invited the assembly to leave these linguistic groups and return to the groups from yesterday afternoon - possible groupings of new configurations of the Congregation.
These groups of possible new configurations were asked to respond to the following questions
(a) What can we do together now?
(b) What can we do in two years?
(c) What can we do long term?
At the beginning of the afternoon session the General Synod members gathered for an official photo.
The Synod then heard reports from the six groups of possible new configurations of the Congregation.
After the six reports were received there was general discussion and reflection on the proposed new configurations of the Congregation.
At the end of the day Norberto Donizetti (Brasil) led the General Synod in prayer.
