Korean Spring
Our last day was divided into three parts:
MORNING
First, there was a sharing among the provincials, followed by a discussion about what it means to belong to the congregation and to have a sense of the local and universal Church. It is important to keep reminding our communities that they must remain open to the broad mission of the Church, already during the years of formation of the religious as well as in the way they live.
There exists, in each of our provinces, “flagship” apostolates whose influence extends beyond the borders of the country where they are located. Assumption as a whole benefits from these apostolates. We should all sensitize ourselves to the importance of maintaining the apostolic vitality of the following: the university in Worcester, our educational institutions, Bayard, etc.

Joseph Baik Ho presides the mass at the Oblates
“Young people and vocation ministry” was the theme of the discussions held on Monday, April 7, by the Provincials of France and of Congo.
This theme gave rise to a useful debate on the relevance of continuing our efforts in this domain despite the many difficulties that exist especially in the West: secularization, de-Christianization, etc. We are convinced that God is still calling and that we must transmit his call to young people without giving up hope. We believe that we must have happy, prayerful and missionary communities in order to attract new brothers to Assumption.

The Council at Song Gwang Temple
Everyone was in a festive mood this Sunday morning: there was no work foreseen for the Council of the Congregation, and there was radiant sunshine, despite the fact that the weather forecast had predicted rain.
We left the house immediately after Morning Prayer in the company of the local community and of two aspiring Assumptionists. Four visits were planned: the Buddhist Temple of Song Gwang, the fortified village of Nagan, the National Cemetery where are buried some of the victims of the democratic insurrection of May 1980, and, toward the end of the day, the Oblate Sisters for a celebration of the Eucharist to which the Lay Assumptionists were invited.
The road leading to the Temple of Song Gwang is lined with cherry
trees, forsythia, and magnolia trees in bloom. The fresh colors were
already inviting us to become serene, even before we entered the temple
precincts.
