Barcelona (Spain), March 31 to April 22, 2016.- “Mercy, Discernment, Communion and Solidarity: the Demands of Mission”. The General Chapter of 2014 invited us to live the present moment, as the 'now' of God, the 'favorable time', in an attitude of discernment, listening and seeking; it asks us to let ourselves be challenged by reality and to respond to the calls of the Church and the world today. As we relook at this invitation, we need to continue to search and walk together, and at the same time, build roads in sincere, fraternal, humble and insistent dialogue.
