Guidelines 2022-2023
Each month, you will find evangelic references as well as a passage from Pope Francis’ speech and proposals for facilitating your meetings. Of course, these are only suggestions and you will know how to adapt them to the culture of your country and the character of your community. You can also download the illustrations and the artist’s workshop from the website.
The paths that we will follow throughout this year will prepare our hearts for the international meeting that will be held in Strasbourg, France, from 4 to 11 July 2023. It will bring together about 150 delegates from all the provinces across the world. During this meeting, members of the general assembly will proceed with the election of the international coordinator and the deputy international coordinator, as well as members of the board of directors. They will also define the movement’s international priorities for the next five years. We now entrust these very important times of discernment to your prayers.
I would like to very warmly thank the teams that wrote this booklet as well as Carlo Gazzano who coordinated this work along with Don Marco Bove (international chaplain) who proposed the themes for each month from Pope Francis’ speech and wrote the meditations for Christmas, the Feast of Light, Easter and Pentecost.
May all these paths that we take during the year change our hearts and spread Faith and Light still further, still higher!
