"As for the seed that fell on good soil it is the one who hears the word and understands it: it bears fruit and produces a hundred, or sixty or thirty times more.

ASSEMBLY SUMMARY (Mary Balfe, Co-President)

Such great energy has been stirred in our national assembly with enthusiasm to move CLC Canada forward evermore growing as a nationally formed body, with regional flare 'outward to the frontiers'. {Link to the final statement and recommendations here.}

The preparation was outstanding by the National Assembly Organizing Committee. To them we owe so much gratitude for months of effort culminating in our gathering in Saint John, "Rooted in Blessed History-Sent to the Frontiers". Along with the Writing Team, Process Guides, small group facilitators, and

General Council, we were 'learning as we go' in the Spirit of Christ present and active. A most generous attitude of co-operation, transparency, listening and discerning was among the assembled.

The first concrete frontier response was in solidarity with CLC South Sudan who have met horrific crisis with what seems no apparent hesitation to remain faithful to planning the future formation of CLC. CLC Canada has sent a letter with our love, prayers and great hope for renewed strength in all their efforts with a promise of $1000.00 CAD. This gift will be sent through CVX-CLC World processes.

Recommendations that will lead CLC Canada in growth as an apostolic body:

COMMON MISSION POWER POINT (Mary Balfe, Central Region)

IMPRESSIONS & MEMORIES FROM FR LUKE SJ

Dear friends,

It has been a hectic time after getting back, but all of you have been very much in my mind and heart. Am putting down a few impressions about CLC Canada, gleaned from my visit there. Obviously, these are just 'impressions' so take only what you may find relevant and useful.

The strengths

- There is depth and solidity in members and a deep rootedness in the Ignatian charism

- A sense of unity, despite the vast geographic distances

- An openness to take stock and review. This was seen in the thorough evaluation undertaken regarding the living out of your Life and Mission.

PROCESS SHADOW GUIDE REFLECTION

(Kyoko Leung, Central Region)

My reflection in the National Assembly

A process guide can be like a referee in a soccer game, a gatekeeper, a spiritual guide, a listener, or an observer.....But more important, he/ she is a person who can help the proceeding of the assembly according to the light of God and the Holy Spirit.

ASSEMBLY WEEKEND REFLECTION (Janet Ho, Rockies Region)

Coming from a CLC which formed about 2 and half years ago in Vancouver, I knew very little about CLC Canada and the National Assembly. Although many unfamiliar things which confused me sometimes, special energy, curiosity and excitement kept me open to new things, like a child who wondered about the surroundings. When reflecting on my experience it was like I arrived at the retreat house with a spiritual empty stomach and the assembly was a grand buffet that the Lord had prepared through the CLC members to feed my heart's desire.
