It is an instrument to help our communities to get to know each other better, to grow in communion and mutual understanding, to nourish in us Jesus’ dream for his disciples. Thus, we shall be communities of witnesses and messengers of the joy of the Gospel and walk forth on the path of conversion that was proposed by the XXV General Chapter.” (An excerpt from the Introduction)
