After a day of break, the third week of work for our Chapter begins with the approval to move forward with the project of the IMA Fund to give substance to what was discussed on Saturday.

ROME - It's a bit surprising that the full name of the Superior General of the Missionaries of the Company of Mary who was just elected on May 9, comes in five words: Yoseph Putra Dwi Darma Watun. But isn't the name of the Founder of this Missionary Society also made up of five words: Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort, according to his name found in his Testament and on one of his epitaphs, namely the one that is written in Latin? The similarity in the number of words in these names is coincidental. It's clear. However, a name often contains a meaning. Pay attention...

ROME - Memory of the Apparition of the Virgin Mary at Fatima. It is our Portuguese confreres who animate the prayer times of the day. At 9:00 a.m., Fr. Dwi announces the birthday of our precious secretary Fr. Louis-Paul SAINT-LAURENT, 52 years old. Best wishes...

What are the feelings that inhabit your heart the days after your election as 23rd successor of Saint Louis-Marie de Montfort?

Today's agenda is not going according to plan, but according to new developments that have arisen along the way. But let's go in order.

Today again, we lived a very intense day which passionately involved all the members of the chapter. Putting aside the work on the "Acts of the Chapter", the assembly received three very engaging information:

ROME, Italy - On Tuesday, May 9, 2023, when Father Dwi was elected 23rd Superior General of the Company of Mary, St. Louis-Marie de Montfort, the founder of this Congregation, probably awoke from his “sleep” in a state of surprise, and with him, all the members of this Company who have “fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection”. St. Louis-Marie may have searched a Google map for exactly where Indonesia was and tried to pronounce the full name of Father Yoseph Putra Dwi Darma WATUN, SMM who is now his successor in the animation of the Congregation he founded in 1705 in Poitiers...

After the intense day of yesterday concluded with the barbecue at the General Curia, today we resumed our work. The prayer is led by the Indian confreres who are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the foundation this year.
