NEF May 2022

“Betharramite brothers of the third millennium, today the Church also invites us to discern, in mutual listening to that Spirit who leads us prophetically to “pluck up and tear down, to build and plant” (cf. Jer 31:28). Therefore, I invite you to look at ourselves realistically.

These are no longer times of expansion and growth. We are like a “little remnant” that can do anything with Christ, but that must honestly ask itself: Where and why are we? Where should we be? Where does God want us? May be we have to cast off and go, leaving even places where we have served for years - to unfold our mission in a different community. A living community, that is a sign, that goes out with renewed ardour to meet those who suffer, are poor or are alone.” (Fr Gustavo Agín SCJ)

Happy Feast of Saint Michael Garicoïts in the company of the NEF!
