Mexico Occidental Province
The team of consecrated and laity life of the Marist Province of Mexico Occidental has summoned a group of brothers and lay people to work together with Father Jorge Ochoa SJ on a formation itinerary for spiritual leaders, especially to attend the laity who have not yet discerned their vocation.
The goal is to go to the essential in spiritual direction: to help the person being guided to centre their attention in dialoguing with Jesus to build a personal relationship that helps discern and allow Jesus Christ to shape the heart.
The encounter enabled participants to express themselves from the depths of their hearts, with the help of personal prayer and a relationship with Jesus Christ.
It also enabled them to develop tools to better guide and raise awareness towards the relationship with the person of Jesus Christ of the Gospel in human experiences. At the end of this experience, apart from feeling a deep joy, the group has seen that it can help the new Marist dawn to:
- Join in building lay Marist communities.
- Assist laypeople who request it to generate experiences of God and accompany them.
- Help build youth communities where personal and group relationships with Jesus of Nazareth are favored.
- Accompany and let ourselves be accompanied in a personal and communal relationship with Jesus Christ.
