En conclusion des travaux du 36 ème chapitre général, trois priorités ont été retenues pour nous aider, nous les membres de la grande Famille Jésus-Marie, à approfondir notre charisme et notre relation avec le Seigneur.  Ce faisant, nous n’avons pas manqué de travailler chacune de ces priorités avec les enfants de la Maison d’Accueil Claudine Thévenet ici à Bitam, au Gabon: Pour vivre la troisième priorité, nous avons eu des échanges avec nos petits enfants sur le bien-fondé du soin de toute chose, principalement de la nature, de l’environnement, élément avec lequel ils sont constamment en contact.  Cet exercice nous pousse aussi à nous ouvrir au devoir de tout enfant : collaborer dans les tâches ménagères.
