Members from the communities in the pastoral region of Buenos Aires and Resistencia, belonging to the Pedro Donders province, met in Villa Allende, Córdoba, Argentina, from November 16 to 18, for the II National Meeting.
The motto that brought together the 80 participants was: “Living and feeling like Jesus to strengthen the brothers.”
The biblical reference that accompanied the reflection of these days was the figure of Peter. The atmosphere was one of intense fraternity, profound spirituality, joyful celebration of faith and mutual encouragement in following Christ.
To love, to accompany and to announce were three verbs that resonated as significant towards the end of the meeting, as an operational way of living as a testimony what was reflected and celebrated.
The Villa Allende retreat house was left with the firm intention of continuing what had been experienced in the local communities, encouraging others to join the path to continue following.
May Mary of Perpetual Help reaffirm what we have lived and shared, paving the way for us to meet again, as agreed, next year. Best regards.
