Capítulo General 2024

Roma, (Italy), 11/06/2024, General Government.- Logo designed by Sister Lina María Quintero Ríos, from the Province of Medellín. 

Open hands: represent our life with its vulnerability and gifts, becomes an offering.  Open to God's action, we are transformed into an expression of the culture of care. The Church and the Congregation invite us to recognize and embrace our vulnerability in this synodal journey. Consequently, together we can enfold  the challenge of transformation that urges us to build prayerful and fraternal communities, ready to perpetuate the Charism of the Service of Charity in the face of today's new forms of poverty.

Three figures: they speak to us of the significant triads in our consecration:

• Trinity as a model of community and unity;
• Consecration, communion, mission as charismatic aspects,
• Vulnerability, synodality and transformation are calls that the Church makes today to consecrated life.

 Realities that invite us to center our being and doing on what is essential to us.

• Flames of fire in the heart of each figure:  are inspired by the inspiring text of the Chapter, Rom. 12:2, inviting us to renew our minds and be ready to welcome the newness from our "trust in the action of the Spirit and in the loving Providence of God" (Circular, Preparation for the 56^th General Chapter).
• The spiral begins from the triads with thick and thin strokes, in a circular and constant movement symbolizing the process of transformation that we must reach and that goes beyond our limits because we are called to transform our life and our mission together.
• Change of tone is imperceptible but effective, it allows us to highlight all the other elements, motivating us as a Congregation to allow ourselves to be transformed from within in order to assume with responsibility, tenacity and creativity the dynamism needed to incarnate the Charism today.
