It is always good to find ourselves together as a family in our common home, the sub-crypt of the Queen of the Apostles Sanctuary, with sisters and brothers, friends and all those who shared this moment of anniversary celebrations to thank the Lord for his fidelity in these past 25, 50, 60… years. This celebration was an expression of lives given with much commitment, keeping in their hearts the desire to “be Paul alive today”.
«The Pauline Family evangelizes like Paul. It serves the Church in the work entrusted to it by the Divine Master: “go and teach the nations”. Teaching is evangelization, according to the precept of Saint Paul to his disciple: Opus fac evangelistae – do the work of an evangelist, (2 Tim 4.5), fulfill your duty to bring the Gospel; repeat the happy message of salvation, peace and justice that Jesus Christ brought to men of good will. Saint Paul the Apostle is our Father, Master, Protector. He did it all. (…) The life of the Pauline Family comes from the Eucharist; communicated by Saint Paul (Fr. Alberione, 1954; cf. CISP, 145).»
We thank God for his faithfulness and all the brothers and sisters of the Pauline Family for their remembrance in prayer.
