We are now on the one before the last day of the meeting and have already learned a lot from each other. We talked about leadership, about Laudato Si, about our mission and cooperation with lay people. Today it was about the way in which we can structure the collaboration with others. There are countries that have already found ways to cooperate at different levels, as well as countries that have yet to start working together. Brazil and the Netherlands have different possibilities for connectednes.

Collaboration with the laity is not just about working as a team, for example in education, but about transferring spirituality, so that an international movement of lay people can be born who spread the SCMM charisma. But it is far from that...

The conclusion after various discussions is that sisters and lay people need each other to experience and spread spirituality together. This promotes vitality.
