Being a lay Marist in Compostela

21 formators of itineraries concerning Marist Spirituality (IDEM), from the Province of Compostela, gathered in Roxos, from the 25th to the 27th of April. 

The meeting had as its objective a reflection on the mission, fraternity and spirituality. And also, to create a synergy among their members, through exchanging experiences of their personal and Marist spirituality. 

On the final day of the gathering they presented the document:  "The Bonnaire Itinerary: being a lay Marist in Compostela", which encourages both being lay people to be involved in the Marist vocation. This document was approved by the provincial chapter in December 2018.  

During the meeting, those taking part shared experiences which allowed them to grow as people and as Marists. They also, analyzed and reflected on the letters of Emili Turú and they proposed actions around mission, fraternity and spirituality to be carried out in the coming years. 

The IDEMs are processes of personal growth, searching, formation, sharing. They always centre on the inner depth of the person, including the whys, thesenseand the reasons for our existence. Also, they focus on the inner life, and the complete unfolding of each being.
