A Religious Community is a place where conse-crated men or women live together to share life in love and more importantly to be witnesses of the gospel (Vita Consecrata no. 42).

LIVING A PLEASANT LIFE

Today, life seems to be good than before but with chal-lenges. These challenges made many people, old and young, to search for a better way of approaching it.

LA MAISONETTE FRATERNITY 2019 - 2020

Different yet complementary

Br. Elie RASOLONJATOVO

Animator - MADAGASCAR

We are evangelizers of the world, living in its midst. Like salt in food, we show the dept that is hidden in daily life and immersed in it. We give witness to the three dimensions of Christ’ mission: to consecrate the world to God, to be prophets of a different future and to be at the service of others. By our baptismal commitment: we ar signs of God for others. Implanted in Christ who makes all things new, we live the incarnation in the earthly situations, helping to connect them to their true root and love.

In this way we consecrate the world to God. As prophets, we announce a world of peace based on justice, we denounce the course of exploitation and exclusion experienced by millions of people. Creating the hope that another world is possible. Through work and human relationships, we build more fraternal and reconciled world. Where the greatest is the one who chose to be the servant of the others.

As lay Christians we are attentive to the signs of the times, attentive to what the spirit tells us through history, society and people. Incarnated in reality, we live a continual dialogue with the world, showing the loving face of God. This triple dimension of mission underlines the universality of the call to holiness of all Christians. Baptismal consecration generates a community of brothers and sisters who are equal in dignity and responsibility within the mission of the church.
