Exactly one month ago, we were in Tortosa with hearts full of hope, about to begin a gathering that was the fruit of many months of work, preparation, and hope. For five days, sisters and lay members of the Teresian Family from all over the world shared life, prayer, remembrance, and mission, experiencing deeply that the Teresian charism is still alive and continues to give us reasons to look to the future with confidence.
Today we want to revisit that shared journey with the publication of the commemorative magazine for the 150th Anniversary International Gathering. In its pages, we have compiled the most significant and moving moments from those days: the reunions, the celebrations, the pilgrimages, the gestures, the words, and so many moments that will remain forever in the memory of the Teresian Family.
This magazine aims to be more than just a memento. It is a testimony to a story that continues to unfold, to an international community united by a shared charism, and to a hope that is renewed every time we walk together. We hope that, as you turn its pages, those of you who experienced the gathering will be able to relive the excitement of those days, and those of you who were unable to join us will also feel that you are part of this shared celebration.
Let's keep celebrating!
