Marist Apostolic Spirituality
From the 19th to the 25th April, the annual meeting of the Inter-American network of apostolic spirituality was held in the city of Monterrey. This brought together nineteen brothers from all the American Provinces except for the United States of America.
The brothers who participated were: Antonio Ramalho, General Councillor; Bernard Beaudin (Canada); Vanderlei Soela and Natalino Guillerme Souza (Brasil Centro-Norte); Horacio Bustos (Cruz del Sur); Rafael Kongfook and Mariano Varona (Santa MarĂa de los Andes); Carlos Wielganczuk and Darci Luiz Kroth (Brasil Centro-Sul); Miro Leopoldo Reckziegel and Paolo Lorenzoni (RĂo Grande do Sul); Rodrigo Espinosa and Salvador GarcĂa (MĂ©xico Central), Manolo Vallejo (AmĂ©rica Central); JosĂ© Miguel Caballero (Norandina); Miguel Angel Santos, AgustĂn Acevedo and Luis Adalberto Dávalos and Father Rodolfo Escobedo (MĂ©xico Occidental).
The meeting was held in a great spirit of fraternity, favourable to reflection and union of prayers. The work consisted in developing resources for the animation of Marist apostolic spirituality in the various works of the Provinces.
The work and suggestions will be followed up during the next meeting scheduled for 2007 in Chile. In the meantime, each delegate will be attentive to animating communities and groups, and to forming animators of Marist apostolic spirituality in his Province.
