SUMMARY:Founders’ Day
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \nFor the glorification of our Founders in the hearts and minds of all Resurrectionists\, and for fidelity to our call\, our Charism\, and our Mission which we share with the Founders. \n  \nFirst Vows:\nBr. Miroslaw Kludka\, 1997\, Poland\nBr. Mariusz Zieba\, 1998\, Poland\nBr. Mariusz Biedal\, 2005\, Poland \n  \nOrdination:\nFr. Roberto Cachoeira Javorski\, 2004\, Brazil \n  \n\nFor our community\, in thanksgiving for blessings received\, and asking continued blessings.\nFor vocations to our Congregation.\nFor our living and deceased benefactors.\nIn thanksgiving for our Founders and the early disciples of the Congregation.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“It is my hope that the unshakeable faith of our Fathers be for all of us an impetus to rediscover\, revitalize and strengthen our faith\, to share it with others\, to spread it and to witness to it with our consistency in both its personal and communal dimension. … Our Founders\, after having lived their conversion in France\, sealed thereafter by the Sacrament of Reconciliation\, began – with the help of God’s grace – the process of being transformed into ‘new men’; a process which de facto lasted (for so it must) for their whole lives.” (Circular Letter to the Brothers 2012\, 3 – 4) \n

SUMMARY:February 19
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“She [Mary] is the model of what salvation is for each of us. In Her Immaculate Conception\, She is freed from sin. As the Mother of Sorrows\, She shared in the sufferings of Her Son. In Her Assumption\, She was raised up to share in the risen life of Jesus.” (Con. 8) \n  \nDeceased:\nFr.

Otherwise\, the dying would not have been so hard and so deeply resisted.” (New Horizons of Hope\, 2)
