The second morning session in Chapter of Mats

The Presentation by br. Mark was very interesting. He made all of us aware that everything is interconnected and related. What happens to Indian capuchins does affect the capuchins in Europe or America. The relatedness of economy and numbers is very much connected. The numbers going down in western world is also bringing down the income and donations. He posed some good and valid points for our reflections.
We took a break and then we gathered together again to listen to an expert talk by Fr. Vincent, a diocesean priest. He has a doctorate in Theology and religious sciences. He teaches in many major seminaries all over India. He is expert in contextualized theology. He too posed many valid and pertinent questions to us as capuchins. He said that don't go far from your charism and spirituality. Remain faithful and be happy what you have. He said that in search of upgrading we lost Christian touch and love towards the poor.
He was appreciated and thanked by all. For me it was an honor to introduce and thank for his presentation. He joined us for the lunch
