I take this opportunity also to remind you that the Council of the Family will meet from 13-18 January 2011. As you know, the Council of the Family is composed of the three Councils of Consecrated Life and the Inter-Continental Committee of Lay Associates. A representative group of Priest Associates will also participate. This Council meets every four years to reflect on issues relevant to the Family, to maintain and deepen our spirit and to promote communion between the different vocations so as to enable us to keep offering this gift to the world in new ways.  The theme for this forthcoming meeting is A FAMILY ON MISSION – “New Forms, New Means” (Intro.Gen Rules 1844 & 51). Let us remember this important meeting in prayer and let us be united with all who are participating on our behalf.

Inter-continental Committee of Lay Associates will meet the General Councillors who are responsible for the Lay Associates, from 10 to 12 January. On the 12 afternoon, some members of the General Council will meet the Priests Associates to share some issues of life and will prepare them for the immediate participation of the Council of Family.
