Read the message in its entirety below:
How warmly the message from the delegates to your Convention was received, bearing as it did the hallmarks of a community vibrant, spirited, and deliberate in its advance. In the opening years of the Plan, the friends have seen a culture of community building take deeper root, have drawn people from every walk of life into meaningful association, have fostered greater unity and coherence among the three protagonists of the Plan, have contributed to social cohesion, and have given fresh expression to their commitment to working alongside Indigenous populations. Your community now enters the second phase of the Plan from a place of strength, at a time when the openness of your society to new ways of thinking in its search for a better life presents opportunities of great promise. Be assured of our prayers in the Holy Shrines that the friends may press on with undiminished confidence and consecration and be assisted to accomplish brilliant exploits in service to the Cause of God and to humanity.
