Marist Spirituality Week 2020

The Week of Marist Spirituality took place in Chile from the 6th to the 10th of January 2020. It was animated by members of the Area of Evangelisation, volunteer educators and Raúl Amaya, Director of the Bureau of the Laity.

This is an experience of spiritual growth that has been taking place annually for fifteen years in the Chilean Sector of the Province of Santa María de los Andes and it aims to help those taking part to live human and spiritual experiences at the personal and community levels, so that they can observe their own life in a more joyful and integrated way.

This year, 25 people took part, 24 from Chile and one lay person from the Province of Brazil Sul-Amazônia.

The objectives  set were:

– TO STRENGTHEN charismatic vitality through personal and community experiences that help the participants to adhere to Marist spirituality by applying faith readings of shared events and analyzed documents.

– TO DEEPEN a spiritual journey by learning some essential practices to nourish our life of faith and by applying them in different contexts, having as a framework the document “Water from the Rock”.

The experience takes place in a boarding school and is lived in an atmosphere of joy, of dialogue in fraternity (the same community all week), of times for reflection and prayer, both personal and in community, for sharing life with simplicity and depth and of personalized accompaniment for those who require it.

The 2020 model, as in previous years, has borne fruit for which the educators who participated are very grateful , since it has brought many to view their lives in a joyful way, to feel that the Spirit of God lives in each one of us and that He loves us deeply.
