St. Lawrence

FOCAL POINT:

“Each House will pursue its spiritual program and apostolic mission on the basis of local decisions, but always in accordance with the spirit of the Congregation and the prescriptions of the Constitutions and Provincial and Regional Statutes. This calls for leadership on the part of the local superior, even while stressing the observance of a collegial spirit.” (Con. 138)

1. For our members in the missions.
2. For blessings upon all of our ministries.
3. May the example of faith, in the face of martyrdom, which St. Lawrence modeled for us, call us to deepen our faith in the service of God.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“The provincial/regional superior exercises his ministry, not to accumulate and exercise ‘power’, but to lead as a servant.” (Handbook for Provincial/Regional Superiors, I-III)
