Barbara Dawson, our new Superior General, begins her closing conference with gratitude — gratitude to the "courageous and faithful women of the Society who have paved the way for us" and to "our people, sisters and brothers, who have encouraged us to go deeper, to take risks, to be faithful, who have prayed with us, lived with us and shared our passion for mission."
After bringing together different aspects of our lived experience during this five-week General Chapter, she then invites each one of us "to be the leaven for the bread of our future, to not be afraid of the fire, to be tenders of the flame, to risk the possibility of being burned from time to time."
As we now return to our provinces, we "… go forward in hope to live the mission, as women of fire and sowers of seeds of new life."
