Dear confrère, enrolled in the Vocational Conference

On behalf of the BM Province I'm glad to welcome you to the Vocational Conference of Lavras. We wish it will be for each one a pleasant and profitable encounter. For that we are trying to do our best . Our wishes are that every one can feel at home among us.

What unites and moves us is the spirit of "We the Congregation", experienced in the awareness that we all are, even in different places and cultures, at the service of the same mission. We are, in fact, at the service of Christ, the Shepherd and Master, who has heart and ears for the needs of the ones that are at the margin of the road, who calls and sends us to others to be His disciples and make new disciples of Him. We are called men who continue to give Him every day our yes and, as disciples, to correspond with the call of our Master, as the ones that followed Jesus at the exit of Jericho, when the Master told them: "Call him!" And they - as Mark 10,49 tells us - called Bartimeus, the blind man and said to him: "Take courage. Get up, he is calling you!"

Be welcome! Come willing to share with the confreres of other Provinces and Regions your vocational experience, your happiness and concerns, your hopes and worries.

If you, by chance, haven't yet communicated your schedule of arrival, please do it immediately by Telefax: 011 522 73 31 or by E-mail: dehonianos@cidadanet.org.br

Enclosed we sent you the list of the other participants.
