The congregation as a whole is working to prepare for the General Chapter of June 2023 and the Provincial Chapters that will precede and prepare it. Each Provincial Superior reports to us on the progress of this preparation in his province.

In the name of the preparatory commission for the General Chapter, Thierry shared with us the synthesis of some 60 responses received to the questionnaire that had been distributed to the communities and to the laity. The commission is disappointed because many communities did not take the trouble to answer. This synthesis of the responses received will be widely distributed but a debate has arisen on the mode of animation which can now be pursued until the General Chapter. In order to allow the debate to be constructive, the animators of the day invited us, during half an hour of personal time, to become acquainted with the text of the synthesis proposed by the Preparatory Commission for the General Chapter. A time of exchange followed: in this synthesis, which points seem to us to be essential or unexpected? And how can we use this text now?

The afternoon was devoted to bilateral meetings between the members of the General Plenary Council. This is the second and final time devoted to these exchanges which, with an Assumption that seeks to function more and more as a single body, are of great importance.
