On 2-4 February 2007, we, the international heads of various branches of the Vincentian Family, met in Rome for our annual meeting.
We shared our experiences during 2006, with their lights and shadows, evaluated the many cooperative ventures that we are engaging in, and planned future projects together.
...I write to you today, on the occasion of the meeting in Germany, to ask the G8 members, representatives of the richest countries in the world, to no longer delay the cancellation of debt for poor countries...
"Once more, nature has shaken men’s life, this time in Indonesia, where our Brothers manage to face the pain and isolation hundreds of families have been thrown into."
I sincerely wish you a Holy and Happy Easter, and may the Rising Christ give Peace and Joy to all suffering people throughout the world and to your family.
In closeness of prayers and with all my affection
José-Ramón Díaz-Torremocha
