True to his usual self and substance, Father Sassi, however, wasted no time, and he made use of every opportunity to "work" - encountering communities, various provincial bodies (Provincial Government, Team for Formation and Vocation Promotions (TFVP) and Team for the Apostolate (TFA), and various persons of official competencies to engage in what he often referred to as “moments of reflection about our Pauline life.” He opened each encounter with very substantial opening remarks, followed by free-for-all sharings regarding the aspects of Pauline life being highlighted. He also ended each encounter with very frank and down-to-earth exhortations.
(...) Ever mindful of the fact that the future of the Congregation is greatly among the young, Father Sassi decided to reserve his last hours of meeting with the young priests, and young perpetually professed brothers. He exhorted them to grow in their Pauline conviction about their vocation. To the young priests, he strongly expressed the primordial idea of Blessed Alberione that the Pauline priesthood is first exercised in the apostolate of proclaiming the Word through the communications media engaged in by the circumscription as a body.
From the Philippines, the Superior General and Fratel Rodríguez —accompanied by Fr Areno — flew to Macau, on the second leg of their province-wide fraternal visit. Father Sassi said that he will put together his reflections about his visit through a letter that he will write for the whole Philippine-Macau Province. With thanksgiving to Jesus Master for the grace of the fraternal visit.
