šš„šš² šš§š ššØš„š: šš¢š§šš¬š®š š¢ šš¢šš®šš„ (This ritual was held right after the Launching Mass on 1 February 2026.) In this ritual, as we offered our prayers for the shattered parts of our world, we did not simply repair the broken jar. We reassembled it, piece by piece, as a visible sign of our prayer. Each prayer became a petition for God’s healing graceāthe sacred goldāto mend a specific rupture in our human family. As one Cenacle Sister read a prayer, another placed a broken piece onto the jar. Each action represented a particular form of brokenness in our world: ā¢ā ā For War-Torn Areas ā¢ā ā For Refugees and Migrants workers ā¢ā ā For Our Common Home ā¢ā ā For the Displaced ā¢ā ā Against Structural Injustices and Abuse of Power We continue to pray for our ruptured world, trusting that our fractures can become vessels of grace, resilience, and beauty. We are invited not to turn away from brokenness, but to face it with hope and to see in every fracture a potential vein of gold, and in every wound an invitation to healing.
