On the last day of the Provincials Assembly, which was held on 1-17 September in Poland, the participants agreed that this "magnificat" expresses well their shared experience:
COR UNUM IN CORDE JESU
Like Mary who has accompanied us on our journey,
we sing as a community with her:
We proclaim the greatness of the Lord
and our spirit rejoices in God who has looked upon
our little Society and the global world
our fragility and our strength
our fears and our confidence
our diversity and our unity
our light and our shadows
our elderly and our youth
our complexity and simplicity
our roots and our wings
our concerns and our joys
our interdependence and our internationality
our ambiguities and our clarities
death and life
We have been called, gathered and sent on a common mission.
We are blessed!
For the Almighty has done great things for us.
Holy is his name.
Like Mary, we were together with each other for some three weeks and then went home.
