Encounter of “Charismatic Families”

“We must learn better this new grammar in which the charism is declined according to the different functions and relationships that this gift may originate; conjugating the verb ‘to share’, or ‘walk together’, according to different times and subjects. The Spirit is raising up followers who in various ways want to participate in the goodness of the charism. There is still much to be done in the change of our minds and openness to think about our charismatic family beyond our communities. While we affirm it, let’s think about specific people who are very close to us and the opportunities we offer them to share with them in a charismatic gift.” (Circular on Missionary Reform)

Priscilla and Jolanta participated in the encounter of the Charismatic Families, an association of institutions raised around different charisms or spiritualities of Founders. The growing desire of communion and exchange of gifts that the Holy Spirit makes growing in the Church, is one of the signs of her renewal and fruitfulness of evangelization. The evangelical life, in fact, acquires various colors and expressions in sharing in the charisms as lay, families, priests, and consecrated persons. This is an opportunity to share about the processes of the integration, communion, belonging and formation in the Families of long experience. A way to prepare the celebration of the Ascension of Christ.
