Tuesday, July 10: The Provincials began the presentation of their reports. They shared the present day reality of their Provinces, the prayerfulness of their Sisters, their apostolates and service to the church, their hopes for the future, and also their concerns. The impact of listening to this sharing of the Life of the Basilian Sisters on the different continents and countries, cannot be described. The differences are amazing, and the unifying strengths are inspiring. Whether the reports were read or presented as videos or on a screen, the effect was powerful, enlightening, and most appreciated as an opportunity to become more acquainted, Province to Province and Sister to Sister.

Small group discussions helped the delegates to prayerfully reflect on this experience.
