6th JUNE 2017 : Inauguration of the Bicentenary
A video message from Bro Superior General gives the meaning of this first year : discerning together (scrutinising the horizon ).
La Mennais Magazine (N° 34 – March 2017) developed more the theme of this first year.
The 6th June recalls the date of the signing of the Treaty of Union between Jean-Marie de la Mennais and Gabriel Deshayes. This signature signified their common decision to found our Congregation.
Today we want to celebrate this founding event to give thanks for the gift God has given us through this foundation and for the 200 years of our “holy history” . For this purpose, the General Council proposes to you to follow this itinerary in three stages, the first of which will begin in June 2017 and will lead us to the General Chapter.
Lord Jesus, 200 years ago,
Jean-Marie de la Mennais and Gabriel Deshayes
saw the distress of children and of young people,
“who were like sheep without a shepherd.”
Today, enlighten us and let us hear the cry of those
who are still waiting for pastors with a generous heart.
Grant to all members of the Mennaisian family
to rely on your mercy, in the unity of the same family.
And give us the joy and the faith of writing a new page for the mission.
May the prayer of Mary
help us to walk together in the paths of peace,
and to announce with joy the Good News to the poor.
God Alone in time!
God Alone in eternity!
(Extracts of the Prayer of the Bicentenary)
