SUMMARY:St. Peter Claver
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Let there be unity of heart and mind between a religious and those in authority. This union implies a common responsibility for the present and future good of the Congregation. Unity promotes the exercise of fraternal correction and prevents fear and human respect from deterring a religious from sharing with his brother and\, if necessary\, with the proper authorities his certain knowledge of serious defects in one of his confreres.” (Con. 157) \n  \nFirst Vows:\nBr. Nucinaldo Bezerra de Arruda\, 2011\, Brazil \n  \n\nFor fidelity to our charism and religious vows\, and for the spirit of the resurrection.\nFor couples and families who face difficulties in their relationship.\nThat the missionary zeal of St. Peter Claver may inspire us to ever greater service in the name of the Risen Lord.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“Let us underscore again how important it is that candidates build a personal relationship between themselves and God. It needs to be a relationship based on an experience of God’s love for them.” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality\, 42)

SUMMARY:Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Trust\, dialogue and communication are of the utmost importance to exercising this freedom. Freedom exercised in this responsible manner will enhance the quality of obedience as the religious grows from a more external submission to authority to a healthier sense of co-responsibility for the work and well-being of the Congregation.” (Con. 156) \n  \nDeceased:\nFr. Henry Jasinski\, 1958\, De Kalb\, USA\nFr. Edward Gira\, 1971\, Chicago\, USA\nFr. Charles Westfall\, 2012\, Hamilton\, Canada \n  \nBirthday:\nFr. Andrzej Lewandowski\, 1958\, USA \n  \n\nFor the conversion of sinners\, and for all in affliction\, temptation and agony.\nFor all families\, especially those families struggling to survive.\nFor all local superiors and house councils.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“The Founders’ view of the importance and the role of prayer is set down in ‘The Rule of 1850’: ‘The Brothers must realize that the total perfection of religious life consists in tending to a most intimate union with God by love. The necessary means of attaining this end is prayer\, for God’s grace depends on prayer\, and grace alone leads to this intimate union with God through love.’” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality\, 37)

SUMMARY:September 6
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“A young religious will be granted the freedom to show initiative and creativity and to develop his talents; moreover\, he will be urged to use this freedom for the good of the community in which he lives.” (Con. 156) \n  \nDeceased:\nFr. Andrew Gettelfinger\, 1936\, St. Mary\, USA \n  \nBirthdays:\nFr. Philip Justinian\, 1985\, Tanzania \n  \n\nFor our members in the missions.\nFor all the sick and suffering\, especially those in hospitals and long-term care facilities.\nFor our general leadership team.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“The recognition of one’s gifts flows naturally from their use. However\, to ensure that one is not using their gifts in a narcissistic way\, a person needs to be able to use their talents generously for the benefit of others even when this involved no personal advantage\, but rather inconvenience and suffering.” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality\, 32)
