Whoever enters our community
shall be ready to take
a complete and unconditional commitment
to God and His love,
to become an instrument
of His will.
You need years to prepare
to this commitment
and live it constantly,
with devotion and wonder,
but what is more important is that everyone
is conscious
of entering a path of development,
both individual and with the community,
that will last for their whole life.
Everyone should be conscious
that only a balanced development
of the body, the heart and the mind
makes us meek instruments
in the hands of God.
The friends of our community
have spaces
for their meetings, for individual prayer,
study and meditation of the Word of God,
common prayer and Eucharist.
They are always searching for dialogue
with the men and women of God,
as spiritual helpers,
teachers shaped by time,
life and silence,
able to recognise
the action of Grace
and to suggest how to collaborate with it.
They also have a continuous dialogue
with the “world of goodwill”
that often thinks not to believe,
but that, thanks to its disciplined way of thinking,
has always kept developing a dialogue with us
and has often donated us flashes of wisdom
to understand the signs of the times.
This openness
is a necessary condition
for habits
not to extinguish the vocation and other gifts from God.
«If you see a man of prudence, seek him out; let your feet wear away his doorstep» (Sirach 6, 36).
