According to these words above of Mother Mary of the Apostles, the European Lay Salvatorian meeting 2019 took place at Horrem (July,11 – 14 2019). Participants from Austria, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Spain and one Salvatorian sister from the US shared a few days of prayers, discussions, thoughts, reflections and a lot of good humor. Some of the highlights were
a Rosary made by tea candles, where each one was invited to bring in his/her thanks, requests or simple thoughts of personal importance.
a tale of reflection about how we could change the face of our world with easy means.
a little view on mission projects in India and Sri Lanka.
a visit of the cathedral of Cologne and some other interesting romanic churches which mirrors the long history of Christianity in this area.
a very contemplative inspiring Vesper and Eucharist at the Monastic Fraternities of Jerusalem.
a visit of the roots of Mother Mary of the Apostles at Myllendonk and Neuwerk.
and of course the readings and gospels of each day …
Unfortunately, the time passed too quickly but the spiritual bags of the participants got filled very well and so this wonderful event will still accompany us in our minds over a long time into the future.

O Lord,
Risen, alive and full of grace.
You paid such a price that we may live in freedom today.
We worship your holy name and give thanks for your redeeming grace.
Heavenly Father,
May we drink in your tender love so that we can pour this love out to others.
Come reign in our hearts, minds and spirits.
Holy Spirit,
We welcome you to blow through our every word, action and thought.
Come transform us on the inside so that each day we become more like our risen Lord.
Amen.

Carta de Inspiración e Motivación

186 years ago Mother Maria was born. A long time and yet her life radiates charism to this day – and still influences us.
She was a strong woman, who steadfastly seeked her way. That was certainly not easy for her at that time. She broke some conventions in her search for the right place in life. The repeated joining and leaving of several religious congregations were very courageous steps – facing the gossips of the people in the area was certainly not an easy way for her. And in a similar way also for her family, who also had to endure this chatter. Nevertheless, she was supported by them in her search, and they gave her strength and security.
For me, she is a role model for the unwavering quest to find the right path through life and not to worry too much about the gossip of others. Reflection and confirmation I receive in the conversation with God and our Salvatorian community, in which her work is still noticeable. It is our Salvatorian community that supports me and gives me the strength to seek and find my way. I hope you can experience this as well. Each of our paths is unique and different – but together we go into the same direction. In openness and tolerance for our different ways, we assist each other to make the love of God sensible for others.
Happy Birthday, dear Mother Mary!

Our main topics were the development process in the diocese after Acts 2.1 – spiritual and structure, meditations and thoughts about “how to meet God in our daily reality”, and “formation in action” based on the presentation from the General Assembly from Hamont. The two days were accompanied by active discussions and exchange of opinions and thoughts, times of quietness and prayers and celebrating the Eucharist.

Ven, Espíritu Santo creador,
a visitar nuestro corazón,
repleta con tu gracia viva y celestial,
nuestras almas que tú creaste por amor.
Tú que eres llamado consolador,
don del Dios altísimo y Señor,
vertiente viva, fuego, que es la caridad,
y también espiritual y divina unción.
Nuestros sentidos has de iluminar,
los corazones enamorar,
y nuestro cuerpo, presa de la tentación,
con tu fuerza continua has de afirmar.

Lejos al enemigo rechazad,
tu paz danos pronto, sin tardar,
y siendo tú nuestro buen guía y conductor,
evitemos así toda sombra de mal.
Concédenos al Padre conocer,
a Jesús, su Hijo comprender
y a ti, Espíritu de ambos por amor,
te creamos con ardiente y sólida fe.
Al Padre demos gloria, pues es Dios,
a su Hijo que resucitó,
y también al Espíritu Consolador
por todos los siglos de los siglos, honor.
Amén.

Come Holy Spirit, creator, come
from your bright heavenly throne,
come take possession of our souls
and make them all your own
You who are called Paraclete
blest gift of God above,
the living spring, the living fire,
sweet unction and true love.
You who are seven
fold in your grace,
finger of God’s right hand;
his promise, teaching little ones
to speak and understand.[/wpcol_1third] [wpcol_1third id=”” class=”” style=””]

beneath your sacred wing.
Through you may we the Father know;
through you the eternal Son,

thrice-blessed Three in One.
All glory to the Father be,

While endless ages run.

Komm, Heilger Geist, der Leben schafft,
erfülle uns mit deiner Kraft.
Dein Schöpferwort rief uns zum Sein:
Nun hauch uns Gottes Odem ein.
Komm, Tröster, der die Herzen lenkt,
du Beistand, den der Vater schenkt;
aus dir strömt Leben, Licht und Glut,
du gibst uns Schwachen Kraft und Mut.
Dich sendet Gottes Allmacht aus
im Feuer und in Sturmes Braus;
du öffnest uns den stummen Mund
und machst der Welt die Wahrheit kund.
Entflamme Sinne und Gemüt,
dass Liebe unser Herz durchglüht
und unser schwaches Fleisch und Blut
in deiner Kraft das Gute tut.[/wpcol_1third] [wpcol_1third id=”” class=”” style=””]

Erhalte uns auf rechter Bahn,
dass Unheil uns nicht schaden kann.
Lass gläubig uns den Vater sehn,

und uns das Leben Gottes bringt.
Den Vater auf dem ewgen Thron
und seinen auferstandnen Sohn,
dich, Odem Gottes, Heilger Geist,
auf ewig Erd und Himmel preist.
Amen.[/wpcol_1third_end]
