Claretian Spirituality Congress 2024

This instrument includes significant elements in three sections that correspond to the three parts of the Congress: I. Where do we come from? II. Where are we?; and III. Where are we going? It is hoped that this instrument will serve to recall with gratitude our spiritual heritage enriched throughout our 175 years of history; to become aware of the spiritual health of the Congregation, identifying what weakens us and what nourishes us; and to revitalize our synodal and missionary spirituality. In this regard, the document offers five practices taken from our rich spiritual heritage and reinterpreted in the light of the spiritual experience of the Congregation in recent decades. Finally, a spiritual conversation in community is offered with the purpose of helping to take on more deeply the fruits of the Congress. The encounter ended with the satisfaction of the work accomplished and with the hope that this document will help all Claretians to live more and more as missionary mystics, in the style of Claret.
