| Shédiac (Canada) - Cheminer ensemble dans l'amour et la joie : une réponse à l'appel secret de Dieu dans le coeur ! ¡ Caminar juntos con amor y alegría : una respuesta a la llamada secreta de Dios en el corazón !

"Tel est le sens de la vie consacrée (celle du Frère) : une initiative qui vient tout entière du Père, qui demande à ceux qu'il a choisis la réponse d'un don total et exclusif" (Vita Consecrata 17).
Frères, nous avons été choisis par le Père pour ressembler à son Fils unique. Il nous transmet la puissance de l'Esprit-Saint qui allume en nous le Feu brûlant de l'Amour.
"Dans la mesure où la personne consacrée (le Frère) mène une vie uniquement vouée au Père, saisie par le Christ, animée par l'Esprit, elle coopère efficacement à la mission du Seigneur Jésus en contribuant de manière particulièrement profonde au renouveau du monde" (Vita Consecrata 25).
Croyons-nous vraiment qu'à travers notre vie de Frère et la sainteté de notre vie communautaire resplendit la beauté de Dieu-Trinité, lumière pour le monde ? Prenons-nous résolument ce chemin de sainteté, ce chemin qui procure joie et paix, lumière et beauté, dynamisme et douceur comme aucun autre chemin ? Entendons-nous la voix de Jésus ? percevons-nous la brise légère de l'Esprit ? Sommes-nous conscients que le Père nous ouvre ses bras à l'image de celui de l'enfant prodigue de l'Evangile ?
The Trinity! Unfathomable mystery of God's Love. Who are we to draw close to Him? We could not do it if He Himself had not approached us! "He came among us." "This is the meaning of consecrated life (that of a Brother): an initiative coming wholly from the Father, who asks those he has chosen a response of a total and exclusive gift" (Vita Consecrata 17). Brothers, we were chosen by the Father to resemble His only Son. He transmits the power of the Holy Spirit who kindles in us the burning Fire of love. "To the extent that the consecrated person (the Brother) leads a life entirely devoted to the Father, held fast by Christ, animated by the Spirit, he cooperates effectively in the mission of the Lord Jesus by contributing in a specially profound way to the renewal of the world "(Vita Consecrata 25). Do we really believe that through our life of a Brother and the sanctity of our community life shines the beauty of the triune God, the light for the world? Do we resolutely take this path of holiness, this path that brings joy and peace, light and beauty, strength and gentleness like no other way? Do we hear the voice of Jesus? Do we perceive the light breeze of the Spirit? Are we aware that the Father opens his arms just like that of the prodigal son of the Gospel?
¡ La Trinidad ! Misterio insondable del Amor de Dios. ¿
Quiénes somos nosotros para acercarnos a Él ? ¡ No podríamos hacerlo si Él
mismo no se hubiera acercado a nosotros ! "Él vino a nosotros".
"Éste es el sentido de la vocación a la vida
consagrada (la del Hermano) : una iniciativa enteramente del Padre, que exige
de aquellos que ha elegido la respuesta de una entrega total y exclusiva"
(Vita Consecrata 17).
Hermanos, hemos sido elegidos por el Padre para que
nos asemejemos a su Hijo único. Nos transmite el poder del Espíritu Santo que
enciende en nosotros el fuego ardiente del Amor.
"En la medida en que el consagrado (el Hermano)
vive una vida únicamente entregada al Padre, sostenida por Cristo y animada por
el Espíritu Santo, coopera eficazmente a la misión del Señor Jesús,
contribuyendo de forma particularmente profunda a la renovación del mundo."
(Vita Consecrata 25).
¿ Creemos de verdad que, a través de nuestra vida de
Hermano y de la santidad de nuestra vida comunitaria, resplandece la hermosura
del Dios uno y trino, luz del mundo ? ¿ Tomaremos resueltamente este camino de
santidad, camino que nos trae alegría y paz, luz y belleza, dinamismo y
tranquilidad, como ningún otro camino ? ¿ Escuchamos la voz de Jesús ? ¿ Percibimos la suave brisa del Espíritu ? ¿
Somos conscientes de que el Padre nos abre sus brazos como lo hizo con el hijo
pródigo del evangelio ?
