Mystics and Prophets

The Holy Spirit has moved our Religious Congregation to implement and meditate upon two important elements of discipleship: the mystical and prophetical dimensions of our consecration to God. During our III Provincial Chapter, we have discussed these two dimensions and incorporated them into the actions we desire to perform during the 2010-2016 period. The following text is taken from our XV General Chapter:


We live in a world marked by paradoxes that oppose tendencies to secularization, welfare and personal accomplishment as individuals to strong dynamics of exclusion and social injustice. The question about God is present as a thirst for spirituality, yet many are left wondering: where is God? (cf. Ps 42). We feel we are included in these paradoxes. (#16)

Revitalize both our consecration from a genuine experience of God and the reflection of evangelical radicalism becomes the urgent call He is now making to us. It is impossible to place oneself prophetically in this secular world without a deep and untarnished mysticism. (#18)

May we be contemplative above all in order to become mystics and prophets in the world.
