Life and activity |
|
As
creatures and children of God, happy to depend absolutely on him, the Little
Brothers and Sisters look through the prayer for his face and will, along with
the forces to put it into practice.
The
daily schedule of the community envisions at least 250 minutes of prayer,
distributed between night and day to scan the rhythm of the daily life, leaving
to each one the possibility to have further space of intimacy with the Father,
by means of the Son, in the Holy Spirit.
The
spiritual life brings forth the brotherly communion and activity: the time for
the study, for work, for rest in a good balance.
The
study is first of all addressed to the Word of God, which is the basis of
initial and ongoing formation and does illuminate all the reality and the way to
tackle it with wisdom.
The
work includes the manual ones for the necessity of both the community and the
poor, the human promotion (family consultory, kindergarten, computer classes, no
cost secondary school), and especially the evangelization (in parishes, in basic
communities, at school, through the radio, in "weeks to wake up" at
remote villages).
The
holidays and two communal recreations during the day are the occasion to let the
joy of being brothers and sisters to boom and to share faith and life in love.

Daily
commitments |
STUDY The
itinerary of personal growth hand
in hand with the elder brothers and with the whole community necessary
to avoid that love will remain an empty word and
to allow it to mature to perfection. |
PRAYER The
contact with God, the
deepest desire of the human heart, which
must be practised intentionally and carefully, at
a personal and community level so
that it can bring forth fruit for eternal life. |
WORK A
value not to waste, in a world of leasure, the
commitment and the strain to realize something that may be necessary or
useful to somebody, it
becomes richer in sense if it is programmed and realized with others, according
to the will of the Father. |
