VOTING IN THE CHAPTER

It is said that the chapter members have received three cards. A green one, a red one and a white one. When it comes to voting they are kindly requested to raise one of the cards. Until now however I saw only green cards being raised! We did not know we could be so unanimous! But would it not have been nice if there had been at least one red card?
I thought of the book of A. Japin, called: “The white man with the black heart”, which starts with the description of a the – plantage. An endless view of green plants. But the farmer put a few red Christmas roses. The effect of these red roses is that you realize and see better the green colour of thé plants. And Japin the author says: “ You do not have a colour by yourself, but it is given you by others”. This applies to many situations in society, and applies also to us as sisters of Our Lady! Let’s give each other a nice colour!
