Cruz del Sur The Provincial wants “Rekindling the fire” not to be a task reserved only for a few “experts”, but a work for all the brothers. With this in mind, he extended this invitation to them: “Through this letter I want to invite you personally to participate in the Provincial Assembly on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th September. As you know, the central theme of our work will be Marist Vocation Ministry. I invite you, then, to come with an enthusiastic and open frame of mind. The idea is that all the brothers of the Province and of the District give of our best so that we live out this priority rather than simply talk about it. In this sense, your contribution will be irreplaceable. Nigeria (Enugu) On Tuesday, 21st September 2004, three Nigerian women were the first religious to profess vows in the new Congregation of the Marist Missionary Daughters of the Society of Jesus the Good Shepherd. This new Congregation was born due to the inspiration of Brother Thomas Ezeakku. The newly professed had waited several years before being able to realise their desire to consecrate themselves to God through their vows. From its beginning until the present day, this foundation has received the constant support of the Marist Brothers at all levels of our Institute. We invite you to pray for the development of this new religious family. Brother Laurentino and his 45 murdered confreres Brother Giovanni Bigotto has submitted to the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints ten copies of the “positio” of Brother Laurentino and his forty-five confreres murdered at Barcelona on the 8th October 1936. The positio is the demonstrative work of the martyrdom of this group of brothers. It is a work of more than 1000 pages, completed by Brother Gabriele Andreucci to whom is due all the honour. The submission of these ten positio means that, in November, the theologians are going to start to examine the cause so as to vote in January 2005. The meeting of the Cardinals and Archbishops will follow later, April – May, and then there will be the reading of the decree on the martyrdom June – July. After this, all that needs to be done is to wait for the date of the beatification. A booklet on this group of martyrs will appear in the coming months. It will be similar in style to that of Brother Bernardo, which is already available to the provinces that ask for it. Among these martyrs, we have people of an exceptional human stature, who deserve to be known and of whom we, as Marists, can be proud. This is an enormous spiritual capital and it would be a great pity if we were to be unaware of them and not hold them in our heart.
