St. Lawrence Ruiz and Companions, St. Wenceslaus

FOCAL POINT:

“The Congregation recognizes as its own those ministries in which religious – themselves being a model of Christian community – will be able to create communities, to work together with the laity, and to maintain and deepen their international character.” (Con. 192)

1. For fidelity to our religious vows and for the spirit of the resurrection.
2. For continued blessings on all Resurrectionists throughout the world.
3. For the people of the Philippines as they celebrate their patron saint, Saint Lawrence Ruiz and his companions, and let us pray in thanksgiving for the example of Martyrdom which Wenceslaus modeled.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“Failure to realize the need to step back in order to evaluate the options presented in the light of revelation, faith and theology leaves a person at the whim of ever-changing attractions and their own undisciplined desires.” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality, 69)
