A
time for Remembering
We
need time to get to know one another and to
re-cognise
ourselves as members of the same
family
and to have an opportunity to allow unity
and
communion to grow amongst us.
A
time for sharing
Of
our deep and heartfelt experiences.
And
of our different backgrounds of life.
A
time for festivity
Fr.
Chevalier saw, coming from the
« heart
of Christ », a new world. It is a great
source
of celebration for us and for the
whole
world ; our joy needs to be contagious.
A
time for prayer and celebration
The
Spirit is at work today.
He is
CREATIVE.
He sends
us forth and gives us confidence
in the
future
A
time for studying and deepening
The
Spirituality of Fr. Jules CHEVALIER,
(à
la lumière des écrits du Père E.J. Cuskelly).
A
time for being sent on mission
We
cannot keep this Good News
just
for ourselves.
« ...What
we have seen and heard
we
proclaim now to you… » (1
Jn, 1-3)
