With the Eucharist presided by the Superior General Fr. Valdir Jose De Castro, the Meeting of the Major Superiors in Rome has commenced. This is an event that will engage the participants to work together with the General Government until June 30 in the Seat of the General House of the Society of St. Paul. The goal of this meeting, before the exchange of information, will be to live an experience of communion and sharing for the benefit of the entire Congregation. The common desire is to listen to one another and to engage in mutual dialogue, with the main aim of improving the quality of the service of authority in favour of all the confreres of the Congregation.

The first part of the opening day will be dedicated to a biblical reflection to be facilitated by the Superior of the Mexico-Cuba Province, Fr. Faustino Hernandez, who will comment on the phrase of St. Paul, «I do everything for the Gospel» (1 Cor 9:23), which has inspired the X General Chapter. The second part will focus on the situation of the Church in the light of the Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium of Pope Francis and will be facilitated by Msgr. Giancarlo Maria Bregantini, Bishop of Campobasso-Bojano. A fraternal sharing of the resonances of the two conferences will then follow among the activities on this first day.

The journey of the Congregation as actually happening in each Circumscription will be the focus of sharing in the succeeding days by examining the itinerary of each based on the Final Document of the X General Chapter and the guiding ideas of the Chapter Declaration «To evangelize today in joy as apostle-communicators and as consecrated persons». At the same time, it will be also an opportunity to update and to discuss some projects that the General Government is carrying forward (like the revision of the Norms of the Congregation, the Course of preparation for perpetual profession, the International Organizations, etc.), to exchange information on the activities of the SIF and of the CTIA and to receive indications on the activities of the General Officials, of the Postulator General, of the Director of the Centre of Pauline Spirituality, of the Delegate of the Aggregated Institutes and of the Pauline Cooperators, of the Delegate of the Communities dependent on the General House and of the Responsible of the institutional Information and of the website www.paulus.net.
