Renovation 1

Prayer for the Success of the Renovation & Expansion Project of the
Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima

Almighty and gracious God, Father of us all, we praise you and humbly beg you to open our hearts and the hearts of all to the needs of the Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima.
Our Lady's Shrine must be renovated and expanded so that we and future generations might continue to enjoy the sacramental nourishment, prayerfulness, reconciliation, serenity, and peace of this magnificent oasis - an oasis offering living waters to thirsty generations of God's people.
Lord, help the Barnabite Fathers to find people with generous hearts to assist in the commencement and completion of this project. Grace us, dear Lord, with all the means necessary so that we will be able one day soon to consecrate and bless renovated and expanded places of worship to meet the needs of God's people who come to this Shrine seeking the maternal intercession of Our Lady.
We make our prayer through Christ our Lord.
Our Lady of Fatima - Pray for us.
Blessed Francisco & Blessed Jacinta - Pray for us.

Meeting of Provincial Superiors, Delegates, Formators
and General Administration
[Rome - 4-10 February 2008]

The Superior General's report touched on both the positive and the negative aspects of the Congregation's life. On the positive side he listed an increased cooperation among the South American Provinces and the vocational health of recent foundations. Among the negative aspects he cited the overall decrease in membership and the age and health of most members. He also mentioned various initiatives that will be promoted in the course of the Pauline year.

The General treasurer gave a report of the financial health and the financial needs of the Congregation. Supporting vocations is a financial responsibility of the whole Congregation.

Provincial Superiors and Delegates emphasized three topics in their reports: (1) New projects; (2) Federations; (3) Pauline year.

Formators heard lectures on "Charism and Formation" by Fr. Giovanni Scalese, CRSP; "Humanistic character of Barnabite identity" by Fr. Antonio Gentili, CRSP; "Maturity and affective balance in formation" by Fr. Benito Goya, OCD; "For a significant community today" by Fr. Sante Bisignano, OMI; "Formation of religious in the Code of Canon Law. Theoretical-practical outline" by Fr. Franco Ciccimarra, CRSP.

They also worked at revising the Ratio's sections on Postulancy and preparation to Solemn Profession.
