Participants will be encouraged to share their own rich and varied experiences. The second week will be dedicated to replecting on franciscan lifestyle, ministries and education processes related to Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation.

    Most High,
    all good Lord,
    You are patience, beauty,
    meekness, justice, moderation,
    strength and sweetness.
    ...
    Continue to lead us,
    your little brothers,
    in the ways of Gospel transformation.
    Help us to walk humbly with You,
    to love others tenderly,
    and to act together for a society
    that is just for all creatures,
    especially those most in need
    and those in exile from their homes.
    ...
    Make us instruments
    of Your peace,
    Wonderful God, our eternal life.
    ...
     Prayer in preparation for the International JPIC Congress
