We are in Congress!
We are in Congress!
During the Council of the Family (January 2012), there was a call and a great desire to share “as Family” the gift of our Charism in the present day world.
And that is why all of us (the 5 vocations) began our journey because…
As a Family on Mission,
- We recognise the urgent need for a change of mindset in line with the new understanding of the world, which demands a new way of relating to God and to the whole of creation.
- We commit ourselves to deepen our understanding of our Charism in the light of this new consciousness, in order to express our specific Holy Family gift in the world.
- Aware of our responsibility for this gift and in complementarity of vocations, we wish to give visible witness as Family so that we can make an impact on the different realities of the world, by being attentive to its needs, by encouraging dialogue, and by promoting justice, peace and integrity of creation.
The theme for the Congress is:
Family on Mission,
Gift in a Changing World”
The overall purposes for the Congress are as follows:
- to encourage full participation of all five vocations
- to explore the changing world within the context of God’s dream for the world
- to allow God’s dream for the world to affect all our relationships
- to appreciate and activate our Holy Family gift within and among us, as gift in the world
After the journey we have made this year (phase I), we will meet in Martillac (France), 17 – 23 September, to share the results of our reflection, listen to what the Spirit is saying to us today and assume our commitment, as Family, to continue to offer our gift to the world.
