Life and Activity
As creatures and children of God, happy to depend absolutely on him, the Little Brothers and Sisters seek prayer to see his face and know his will, along with his graces 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 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 study, for work, and for rest in a healthy balance.
The study is first of all addressed to the Word of God, which is the basis of initial and ongoing formation, and illuminates the reality and the way to tackle it with wisdom.
The work includes manual labour for the necessity of both the community and the poor, the human promotion (family counseling, kindergartens, no cost or low cost secondary schools, computer classes etc.), and especially the evangelisation (in parishes, in basic communities, at school, through books, radio and internet, 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 prevent
love from
becoming an empty word
and
to allow it to mature to perfection.
-
PRAYER.
The
contact with God,
the
deepest desire of the human heart,
must be practised intentionally and carefully,
at both
a personal and commun level
so
that it can bring forth fruit for eternal life.
-
WORK.
A value not to waste in a world of leisure, the commitment and the effort to realize something that may be necessary or useful to others, it becomes richer in a sense if it is shared and realized with others, according to the will of the
Father.
