M.Belén Gómez de Castro, Superior General, is participating in the XXIII International Assembly of General Superior that is celebrated From May 5 to 9, 2025 in Rome, at the Ergife Palace hotel con un total de 980 asistentes divididas por mesas de trabajo. Todas ellas, nos relata Madre Belén "muestran el rostro femenino de la Iglesia y también todo el bien que el Señor realiza a través de nuestras vidas y obras. Hay una fuerte llamada a ser Sembradoras de Esperanza como mujeres de Dios que confiamos en su Providencia. Solo la autenticidad de nuestra vida y la comunión nos harán significativas, mujeres de Pascua en un mundo que sigue sufriendo por las guerras, los migrantes y tantas injusticias. Vivamos agradecidas por nuestra vocación concepcionista que nos hace hermanas y compañeras de camino.".
The event is celebrated at a crucial moment for the Church, marked by the recent death of Pope Francis and waiting for the new Pontiff, which makes the chosen theme even more significant: "The consecrated life: a hope that transforms."
