The Chapter began with the Eucharistic celebration led by the Father Provincial accompanied by the Provincial Secretary, Father Melchior. In his homily, Father Anton stressed that the teaching power of Jesus was different from the scribes.
“His teaching has an authority that inspires people to know God. This is also important for our preaching. To what extent does our preaching really have an impact on the people and our own lives? Therefore, we must evaluate our preaching: What is the impact on the people who listen to our sermons, and do we also live up to the message we preach!”
Furthermore, the Provincial Father expressed his gratitude to Father Ignatius BUDIONO, O. Carm who is the facilitator for the Provincial Chapter. And Then, Father Provincial welcomed all the participants and introduced all the Chapter participants. Father Budiono has also facilitated a recollection with the theme "Faithfulness in monastic life."
Thus, we convey the activities of the first day of the Chapter of SMM Province of Indonesia.
Fr. Albertus ARIS, SMM
