Sister Marlyse, an animator from Albania, who is on a time of rest and prayer in her native Switzerland, did not want to miss the opportunity arising from a visit to the houses of the elderly sisters: she therefore wanted to propose a gesture in favour of the Common House.

Thus, prayer meetings were organised with songsThe Earth weeps, Praise God, Pilgrims of Hope – with some paragraphs from Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum, followed by a time of sharing, prayer communion with Mary and the planting of a small tree for each sister to take care of: small gestures full of hope. Planting today, thinking of future generations.

The times of the Laudato si’ animation were:

  • on 30 August in the community of La Roche Sur Foron (France)
  • on 2 September in the community of Cressier (Switzerland)
  • on 13 September in the community of Martigny (Switzerland)
