CIL Part 2

CIL 2010 UNDERSTANDING AND LIVING LASALLIAN ASSOCIATION TODAY

PART 2:  Gathering and Deliberations of the De La Salle Brothers

We began the new week with a prayerful reminder of what we had experienced here at CIL for the past three weeks with the presence and participation, energy and spirit of our Lasallian partners who have now returned to their home districts, ministries and families.

The task before us for the next two weeks is to reflect and build upon the experience of the past three and to focus on the depth of our vow of association for the sake of the Lasallian Mission.

In this morning session (in small groups) we were asked to review our individual vocational journeys and to present our vision and hopes for each of our Districts and to ascertain what our individual role might be in further this vision and these hopes.

Tomorrow we will begin to form “work” groups around specific perspectives and projects related to the association movement that may have an impact on our return to the Districts.

For the information of all I am including with this blog three important documents for reading and reflection.

·       The Statement or Declaration of the participants created and ratified at the end of the three week session entitled OUR MESSAGE OF HOPE.

·       A Message from the English Lay Partners to our Brothers on the occasion of CIL 2010.

·       A Message from the English Speaking CIL 2010 Brothers to our Lay Partners

These documents reflect the spirit and intensity of our CIL Lasallian Community over the three weeks of our Association.
