Opening ?paths? in midlife

We are 17 Little Brothers of Mary who are privileged to experience the Course of Spirituality “Paths,” aimed at Spanish and Portuguese speaking brothers, aged between 45 and 55.

Meanwhile, other English-speaking brothers are doing the same process in the House of Spirituality in Manziana (Italy) on the same day and with similar issues. We will meet and share the work we have done in our Motherhouse L’Hermitage during the first half of June.

Undoubtedly, it will be a nice finale.

Our “companion-formator” brothers in El Escorial are Ángel Medina (Paraguay) and Joarês Pinheiro (Brasil Centro-Norte), who received us like true brothers and fathers. The other 15 brothers include: Miquel Mont (L’Hermitage-Hungría); Miguel Ángel Ayala (Mediterránea); Antonio Peralta (Santa María de los Andes); Wilson Torres, Ricardo Gómez and Pau Fornells (Norandina); Altenir Costa (Rio Grande do Sul); Everaldo Da Silva and Ilário Wecker (Brasil Centro Sul); Jesús Balmaseda, Óscar Mazariegos, Álex García, José Antonio Alonso and Severiano Quevedo (América Central) and Roberto Méndez (México Central).

In Addition, we felt very supported and pampered by the brothers of the "Fuentenueva" community of the Iberian province, who live in the same house: Juan José Arnaiz, Jesús García Garayo, Florentino Andrés, Elías Peña and Marino González.

You can see us in the photograph and we will soon continue telling our adventures in this magnificent experience our Marist provinces has given us. Thanks be to God!

This is the first greeting of a group of brothers that forms itself while also thinking of all of you, feeling ourselves as a Marist Family, grateful and co-responsible for the common gift received: the Marist charism of Champagnat.
