The celebration was embedded in the 800th anniversary of the Transitus of St. Francis. At the end of his life, St. Francis said: I have done what is mine, may Christ teach you what is yours.<br \/>\nWith this in mind, the focus was first of all on listening to God&#8217;s call, which we sought and found in Francis, in the history of our congregation and in the current experience of the province. In various impulses and a lively exchange that followed, great joy arose.<br \/>\nIn the afternoon, we became aware of the importance of the Rule of Life and accepted the new Rule of Life in the process of renewing our profession.    <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6960\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6960\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6960\" src=\"https:\/\/siessen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/M.-Emmanuela-Khwepe.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siessen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/M.-Emmanuela-Khwepe.jpg 450w, https:\/\/siessen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/M.-Emmanuela-Khwepe-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6960\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sr. M.
