Today, on February 2^nd, 2023, the Day of Consecrated Religious Life, we share with you, dear sisters, and friends, a photo of the Sisters who participated in the Provincial Chapter in Curitiba. The lyrics of the song below express what the Provincial Chapter meant for us Sisters of St. Joseph of Chambéry of the Brazil Province.

THUS FAR THE LORD HAS LED US

Thus far the Lord has led us
And certainly, He will lead us through
He will lead us.

He has always loved us
He called us from the beginning of time
And certainly, he will not forsake us.

From the beginning, the Lord was there
And certainly, He will continue to be
He will continue to be with us.

We have had pain and cross
But there was a lot of faith
If we need His help, He will help us.

He entrusted us with this mission from the beginning,
And certainly, as we go forward
He will ask for even more.

His grace has called us
His love sent us forth
Let's continue to seek His peace

(Sr. Edir de Freitas - Franciscans of Allegany)
