Choosing to deepen their understanding of Eucharist, the Sisters of the British province gathered for a weekend.

"Bread can only be offered with open hands and fingers wide. There is no offertory from a clenched fist or a possessive heart; the claw of self-interest, personal or corporate.

It is only the raised arms of the whole community that can offer and break something blessed by its work and with its joy: Bread without a trademark, without owners; bread set free.

This bread, which belongs to us all, must be broken again to be shared. A sharing which prophesies to a world with frontiers of fear and ambition which discriminate, confine and kill. This is our dream: a universe transformed; humanity gathered in, and bonded by the same Spirit."

Pablo Neruda

BRAZIL

The Tabitha Project is now officially launched in both Estância and Poço Verde. Sixteen young girls in Estância and fourteen in Poço Verde are receiving formation in Christian living and instruction in sewing, cooking and other skills.

The idea is that they will be prepared for life in more ways than one, and will have a better chance of protection from the various forms of exploitation to which young women everywhere can be so easily exposed.

Sister Louise visited Cameroun in Central Africa. She was deeply moved by the intense poverty in some places, and by the creativity of the Sisters who manage to meet so many pastoral needs with a minimum of human and financial resources.

In that small region of about fifteen Sisters, it is astonishing how much they achieve in the line of catechesis, education, health care, formation of women, university chaplaincy, vocational work and parish ministry.

It is hoped that in Jakiri, the English-speaking foundation in the north-west which was set up about three years ago, there might be more hope of fresh vocations. Another preoccupation is to find ways of getting to the 21 outstations or centres of worship around the parish of Jakiri
