<\/p>\n\u201cHolding Jesus in Our Arms: this is the Sign, this is the Path, this is the \u201cRecipe\u201d for Renewal. \u00bb Br. Herv\u00e9 Zamor, Superior General cited the questioning of Pope Francis during the Presentation of his Report this Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Third, attempts a Rereading in the light of the Fundamental Lines of the 2018 General Chapter by following Our Path to Emmaus.<\/p>\n
The Fourth, finally submits Orientations and Lines of Action to the Discernment of the Capitulants so that the Brothers and Lay People of the Mennaisian Family can continue to be \u201cServants of Hope\u201d. Listen to and put into practice the Word of the Lord, build together in order to serve the New Wine of the Gospel.<\/p>\n
The Brother Superior also highlighted the two Current Appeals of the Church, as Winks from Providence.<\/p>\n
A call to Synodality: Listen, Walk Together and Convert, Open Up, and Discern.<\/p>\n
A call to Trust, according to the model of Saint Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of the Child Jesus, with the \u201cLittle Way\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis Little Path joins the main features of Our Spirituality,\u201d he underlined: \u201cHumility, Abandonment to Providence and Mission.\u201d<\/p>\n
