Province of « Brasil Centro-Sul »
On 28 February, in the new CMMF house, was held the meeting of the Brothers advising the Champagnat Movement of the Marist Family. It was organized by the Sector of Consecrated Life and Laity and the Provincial Team of the Movement. Seventeen Brothers from the twenty-three Fraternities of the Province and five lay persons took part.
We clarified the role of the Brother adviser thanks to the sharing of experiences and various interventions. To be a Brother adviser of the CMMF is to be a discreet and active presence of Champagnat, as witness, with the members of the Fraternity.
In the morning and the afternoon, together, we prayed, exchanged, shared life and made up the style of acting of the Brother adviser in the Fraternity, seeking the growth of the Christian life of the members of the Frat, based on the ‘dream’ of Marcellin Champagnat.
The event was a cause of great satisfaction for brothers and laity. We feel that hearts and spirits being well united, they begin to clarify the meaning of the existence of the CMMF and the meaning of life in which brothers and laity journey « united in a single heart and a single spirit ».
