Commitment and send-off
Friday September 5, we found ourselves at 7 AM at the tomb of St. Peter to celebrate the Eucharist presided by Fr. General, Richard Lamoureux, who, in his homily, spoke about the newness that Christ inaugurated and which we, the heirs of Saint Augustine and of Father d’Alzon are called to live by. This newness is Christ himself, the new man whom we must know, imitate, love, and follow while journeying with Him.

Dear brothers,
In one of my letters to you, which I entitled “A lasting covenant”, I shared a few thoughts on what it means to say “forever” when we commit ourselves to a spouse or to religious life. I’m still thinking about that same topic, especially now after having spent some time in Brazil working with many of the Congregation’s formators and after talking with a number of young religious from Latin America, who have been pained by the recent departure of some of their confreres.
Holding firm to one’s commitments is a grace and a mystery. Who can say why someone chooses to do differently? Trying to understand what transpires in a person’s heart is more than difficult. And it is at least as difficult to try to understand the impact that the surrounding culture has on us when we make such a choice.
