The Point of Light path continues even at Mother House, despite the restrictions preventing meetings in presence for a year now. Every month a new “Point of Light” is offered: a meditation by Sr. Nunziella on an aspect of the christian life, which is above all deepened and lived by the sisters, just like the members of the Cenacles of Bell’Amore, priests and lay, and also by all those who want to tap into this spirit and walk in communion with others. One very important element in this path, is the communication of what is lived; experiences shared nourish and edify the community. Like in a net that intertwines many points of light, the path of the Point of Light spiritually unites all those who participate, even if belonging to groups or communities geographically distant. It is beautiful to know that in any part of the world, there are people (youth, adults, children, elderly, families, sisters, priests…) that want to put into practice that little Point of Light to try and incarnate Love in daily life.

The online meetings organized by Mother House now also have an international dimension, starting this year, other than the meetings in Italian, there are two in English (tuned into different time zones); these occur the third Saturday of every month. A first meeting in the morning, led by Sr. Lucia and Diva, is predominantly directed towards the oriental zone of the world, with participants from England, Germany, the Philippines and Indonesia; the other meeting, which occurs in the evening hours, is led by Sr. Daniela together with the members of the Youth Center, and is directed above all towards those who find themselves in the occidental zone, having participants from the US, Germany, Spain and Italy.

The limits and sacrifices imposed by the pandemic are not few, but we cannot forget that in all things God works for the good of those who love him (cf. Rom 8,28), and that He knows how to bring good out of even the most difficult seasons; in a time of “closure” we find ourselves enlarging the place of our tent (cf. Is 54,2), to experience one Church, united even when we are very distant, almost like a soul and heart of a world in search of unity. The “online mode” has entered and become a part of our daily life, giving us an ever greater awareness that it can’t substitute meeting in person, nevertheless it also offers us new opportunities to make the best use of every means towards the service of Love.
