Benefiting from the year of Marist spirituality

A month after the launched year of the Marist Spirituality, the Novitiate Community at Matola, Maçambique, has received already its due noble benefit.
We have felt enormously enriched and humbled to rank among the first to whom the Marist Spirituality Document, Water from the Rock has been introduced shared and prayed with. Bro. Teófilo Minga, Secretary of the Religious Life Commission availed himself to facilitate the 2nd year Novices? retreat prior to their profession on November 17th.

The venue was the Consolata Missionary Sisters? Retreat House where the 10 Novices and I were on Retreat between the 2nd and 8th of November. A timely period to have a feel and taste of the Document aimed at helping us and the Lay Marists to deepen, make known better and live out more vibrantly the ?Marcellinian Spirituality?.

Thanks Teófilo for being such a generous Minister and Apostle to bring right to our door step the message of the Marist Spirituality Document. The nature of presentation was down to earth and coupled with enriching insights and prayers composed from each chapter. It leaves us behind with very rich material to share out with one another along the way.

A special word of gratitude as well goes to Bro. Peter Rodney, Chairperson of the Religious Life Commission who encouraged and supported Bro. Teófilo to come down and above all Bro. Séan, Superior General in whose delegation Teófilo made it.
?Muito obrigado e parabéns Irmão Teófilo?.

Bro. Norbert Mwila – Master of Novices
