Curia OCD
Roma (15-07-2009).-
At the end of the General Definitory sessions in June, Fr. General and his eight Definitors sent a letter of communion and of communication to the Order. In it they first of all expressed fraternity as a grace and as a goal. We experienced it and we hope to experience it always, not as the fruit of our own efforts, they pointed out, but as a gift from God, which we share with the brothers who help us with different tasks in the Generalate and we wish to share also with you.
Communication will increase thanks to new technology. In order to express better the role of the general government and that of local government we have invited a canonist, Fr. Domingo Andres, CMF, so that in September he can illustrate to the Definitory better channels for working.
Matters of special importance have been the financial situation of the Centre of the Order and the present situation in the General Delegation of Israel-Egypt, to which in this sexennium we wish to give particular attention.
As you know, the sexennium has begun its course guided by the hand of St. Teresa of Jesus. We trust in her as we journey on our way.
