Yesterday 6th September we commenced the celebration of a Chapter of Mats, for which a number of consecrated women and lay people have joined to participate with us. After a moment of prayer every participant presented themselves. Then Fr Jimmy Zammit OFM, who is animating our meetings, exhorted us to be open to each other and be prepared to listen to each other. He then invited every one to reflect on a word of hope.
A Chapter of Mats is a moment where we, as friars, gather together to reflect on our vocation and how we are living it in today’s world. Inspired by the Synod on synodality being celebrated in the Church, it was our desire to invite various consecrated women and lay people to get a wider view of who we are and how we can live better our way of life.
