The utopia of dawn in the evening of life

This group of 23 Brothers are beginning to live the utopia of dawn in the evening of life. We started it this week in the General House on 15 September. The human utopia is achievable by the power of the Holy Spirit: “The world of the past has gone. Then the One sitting on the throne spoke: ‘Now I am making the whole of creation new’, he said. ‘Write this: that what I am saying is sure and will come true’.” (Ap. 21: 4-5).

We are men with a median age of 73, coming from 5 Marist provinces speaking Italian, Spanish and Portuguese and from ten different countries. There are three Marianist Brothers and 20 Marist Brothers. We will journey together until   16 November.

Our procedure towards the realization of this utopia has been skilfully and meticulously prepared by Brs Landelino Ortego and José Kremer Feix.  They have prepared for us an excellent program of exercises and activities for reaching our utopia. On our journey we will meet many Brothers who will point out very good routes to follow. We await them with hope and hearts open to all they will teach us in the name of the Lord of Life. Mary sings of the utopia of a new world in her Magnificat, and we will make our journey with her, as Saint Marcellin did. She always has Jesus in her arms or in her heart.
