Rome, 3 July 2018 

To all the confreres of the Congregation of the Mission: 

Do not keep the past in front of you because it can paralyze you. Keep it at your side and it will help you to live in the preset (Valero Albisetti). 

Dear confreres: 

May the Holy Spirit fill us with light and strength so that we might fulfill the mission that has been entrusted to us! 

On June 3rd, in preparation for our Tempo Forte, we had a retreat and we dedicated that time to a dialogue about our lifestyle from the perspective of our vow of poverty. There were interesting and varied reflections as would be expected in a multicultural community such as ours. Father Miles, moderator of the dialogue, helped us to become specific and thus, make a commitment as a local community. 

We now offer a summary of the matters that were dealt with during our Tempo Forte (June 4- 8, 2018).
