“Homes of light. Caring for life. Generating new life”, is the title of the first Circular of Brother Ernesto Sánchez, Superior General, published for the whole Institute on Tuesday, September 8, the feast of the Nativity of Our Lady. In his writing, Brother Ernesto reflects particularly on the care of life, of others, of spirituality and of vocational animation.

In relation to the present moment that we are living, Br. Ernesto expresses in the introduction: “I began to write this text a few months ago, and, along the way, the Covid-19 pandemic struck. We have been through this experience all over the world, and the crisis has impacted on virtually all the countries where we are present as an Institute. In each place, in each country, we have suffered the con­sequences in a very similar way. It seems to me that, in the current context, there is no better time than now to talk about building homes of light in the face of this situation of uncer­tainty that seems to be dragging on. We are being called to care for life and to generate new life in moments of great fragility and vulnerability in the world.”

To facilitate the dissemination, the Circular is sent to the Institute electronically on this day, in PDF format. At the beginning of October, the printed version will be sent by mail to the Administrative Units.
