Can you let us in on some of that thinking or what's the plan for the congregation now going forward?
17:39
Well, I think that two things that I think always come to my mind is that as a congregation, you know, we do a lot of discerning together as a congregation.
17:52
You know, we don't just, it's not where, you know, you just send out and say, this is what we're going to be doing.
17:58
And we try to involve all of our sisters around the world in conversations that ask us, who are we today? And what's the world and the church asking of us as religious? So we're more or less dealing with those questions.
18:12
And we, over time, I guess, trying to... stay in keeping with our charism is the whole sense of social justice advocacy.
18:21
That's one of the big things, you know, that we look at, you know, how do we in our lives, maybe it's sometimes it's to our presence of being able to be available to people, to listen to people's stories, to encourage them, to Send them to where they can get help.
18:40
There's that sense.
