30 years ago, on May 14 – 19, 1990, a mixed international group of Salvatorian fathers, sisters and laity met in Rome for the first time to discuss the real possibility of establishing the Salvatorian Family. There were already some units with local forms of a „Salvatorian Family“ group, but these were not everywhere and did not exist at the international level. Continue Reading
The CoVid19 pandemic is a big danger for each health care equipment in each country. But it is also a danger for each person because the experience of the last weeks shows that each one can be touched. It does not matter if you are young or old. But of course, people elderly with a groggy healthiness are a special group which has to get protected.
Therefore go on distance to your neighbor, your friends, and relatives, which do not live under the same roof with you. This does not mean that they are bad people now, but each of us can be a spreader of the virus. The following short animation by Juan Delcan and his partner Valentina Izaguirre shows very well the importance of physical distancing amidst the coronavirus pandemic and how it effect.
Trust in God, stay safe, hold distance!
Together we can make it!
La pandemia de CoVid19 es un gran peligro para cada equipo de atención médica en cada país. Pero también es un peligro para cada persona porque la experiencia de las últimas semanas muestra que cada uno puede ser tocado. No importa si eres joven o viejo. Pero, por supuesto, las personas mayores con una salud débil son un grupo especial que debe ser protegido.
Por lo tanto, mantente alejado de tus vecinos, amigos y parientes, que no viven bajo el mismo techo que tú. Esto no significa que sean malas personas ahora, pero cada uno de nosotros puede ser un propagador del virus. La siguiente animación corta de Juan Delcan y su compañera Valentina Izaguirre muestra muy bien la importancia del distanciamiento físico en medio de la pandemia de coronavirus y cómo afecta.
Confíe en Dios, manténgase a salvo, mantenga la distancia!
¡Juntos podemos lograrlo!

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.
Estamos muy contentos de poder ofrecer a todos los hispanohablantes la meditación del Vía Crucis en su idioma ahora.
We are very pleased to be able to offer to all Spanish speaking people the Way of the Cross meditation in their language now.
Furthermore, we thought that the following could be maybe helpful:
or help for meditation with the pictures, for those who never have worked with it before in this way.
The Way of the Cross should invite you to meditate and the pictures should help you to approach the events in your mind, in your imagination. For this you need a quiet place, and for each station and of course for each picture also enough time (about 15 min).
The contemplation is not only about „What is to be seen in the picture“, but rather „How is it depicted?“ and „What appeals to me (through the picture)“. This means that the viewer has to get involved with the picture and must not remain on the surface. He must respond to the play of light and shadow and allow himself to be captivated by it. On what is to be seen superficially, but also on what could be discovered in secret. Each of the pictures thus tells one or more little stories that open up to the viewer’s imagination. The picture is nothing fixed or finished, it is a space of possibilities. And this space, together with the text, allows the viewer to immerse himself in the picture and become so part of it.
La méditation du Chemin de croix est désormais également disponible en français!

El P. Agustín Van Baelen SDS, Secretario General de la Sociedad del Divino Salvador ha preparado una oración para estos días de la Pandemia CoVid 19. La oración está disponible en varios idiomas.
Dio della Salvezza,
ci rivolgiamo a te con una preghiera per invocare protezione e guarigione
in questo tempo in cui il Coronavirus si sta diffondendo.
Aiuta coloro che sono ammalati.
Concedi pazienza a tutti coloro che vivono in quarantena.
Dá forza a tutti coloro che si prendono cura degli altri.
Ispiri gli scienziati nella loro ricerca.
Rafforza tra noi il senso dello stare insieme,
fa in modo che nessuno sia abbandonato.
Lascia che tutti si sentano al sicuro
insieme a Te che sei la Compassione.
Per intercessione della Beata Maria degli Apostoli
e P. Francesco Jordan,
Ti ringraziamo, Dio presente e fedele,
che vivi e ami nei secoli dei secoli.
Amen.

Let’s pray in common for our concerns.
Valentine’s Day is celebrated in many countries on February, 14th. Especially from the Anglican side, this day has become very fashionable and brings good sales to the flower and candy sellers. It is a celebration of “love”, which is expressed through small gifts to our loved ones. Just a commercial celebration or could there be more hidden here?
If you browse through the story, the tradition1 tells of two Valentines and distinguishes and mixes them at the same time. On the one hand, there is a Valentine of Terni and on the other hand a Valentine of Rome. But perhaps it is also one and the same person. Valentine of Rome is said to have married lovers according to the Christian rite as a simple priest, despite the prohibition by Emperor Claudius II, and was executed on February 14, 269. Valentin also gave flowers from his garden to the newly married couples. Continue Reading
