CIL 2010: DAY 6
Our new week began with a reflective and creative prayer service presented by our colleagues from Spain with the theme of “Dreaming New Realities.”
Our primary focus for today was “Association for the Educational Service of the Poor: Our Lasallian Identity” presented by Br. Diego Munoz. The presentation was an exceptional review of the historical traditions, movements, influences impacting on our current understanding of the vow of association and the issues and hopes for the future of understanding and living Lasallian Association Today.
Br. Diego clearly articulated that all Lasallians today (not just the brothers) are called to be the heart, memory and guarantor of the Lasallian charism and to promote the new structures of community and commitment for Association for Mission in service of the poor in our current historical period and as a foundation of our transition to the future.
Br.Diego invited each of us:
To recover the value of the dignity of teaching
To develop cutting edge community projects at the service of the poor
To break classic frameworks and give bold answers
To live our faith in the midst of a troubled world
To respect one’s own vocation, one’s own project, but in association with others (be one in our diversity)
To surrender oneself to the project of the God of Life – who wishes all to be saved and come to the knowledge of truth.
The remainder of Day 6 was spent in personal and small group reflection.
