Wall Eileen Castro Matthews – Vatican City

At a time when the Latin American Church reaffirms its missionary identity, the Latin American Union of Religious (Claar) renewed its presidency in an act characterized by faith, the distinction of society and the joy of service. From the twenty -third association, at the Spiritual and Conventions Center San Patricio de Kito, representatives of 18 conferences in Latin America and the Caribbean gathered together in Esperanza, guided by the spirit of the Synod led by Pope Francis.

The new presidency: service and leadership of hope

The choice of a new CLAR guidance responds to deep confidence in the values ​​of religious life, with a clear focus on the Senod and important. HNA. “Surar at night, walking in the hope and confidence of the hand of our God,” said Liliana Franco, ODN, in his speech. The outgoing president encouraged her brothers and sisters to continue to serve with joy, and to give up her old hearing to fill the new areas, “hitting bread and word” in search of a church upon leaving, on the Senodal road and is committed to the most weak faces.

According to Presses Notes published by CLAR, the guidance consists of:

• president: P. José Luis Loyola, MSPS (missionary of the Holy Spirit. Mexico)
• Vice President: HNA Inés Zambrano, MML (missionaries from Maria Dhi and Santa Catalina de Cena. Ecuador)
• Second Vice President: Hno. Luis Felipe Gonzalez, FMS (Brothers Mariest. Mexico)
• Third Vice President: Hna Rosario Purilla, CM (Carmelitas missionary. Peru)
• Fourth Vice President: P. John Landerry Batista, O. De M. (Order of Mercy. Brazil)
• General Secretariat: Hanna Maria Inise Castilro, VN (Sisters of the Virgin Girl. Argentina)

Walk together in hope and discrimination

During the association’s days, religious and religious reflected the importance of expanding the table, not only in the physical sense, but also spiritual and society. The focus of the meeting was asking: How to be bread? How to be food? This was expressed by the Claar Communications Communications Committee in its observation, and the challenge is to deepen “only from the centrality of the word that we can radically live with the testimony that we were called to submit.”

In the same manner, the need to preserve the legacy of Pope Francis, and to move forward on the Senodal road, in a way out and in the service of the Kingdom of God. The reports of the administration provided were not simply administrative balances, but the testimonies of the souls that were delivered, the paths that traveled and the challenges that must be to go, all aim to enhance the mission of evangelization in the church.

The authorization of society also had a major role in the association. As a result of the awakening listening to the soul, the Torah has been chosen to meet Jesus with Nicodemus as an inspiring horizon for the trio of 2025-2028, a symbol of research, childbirth and transformation into continuity with the spirit of renewal that Francisco promoted.

Hope in the word and service

Distinguished closure of assembly with a thinking of the value of discrimination: “Why and what is distinguished?” The answer indicates the growth of society, to a church in the exit that dares to convert new paths with boldness and love. These days were an invitation to survive, in sincerity, the church servers that want to “expand the table” and multiply life in its extreme expression.

The election of the new presidency and the commitment to the Latin American religious is clear signs of a dedicated life that emphasizes their hope in the existing Christ. Religious life, in Latin America, is still a seed of solidarity, mercy and important in a world in constant change.
