2 SOCIETY OF THE THE MISSIONARIES OF THE HOLY APOSTLES THE MENARDIAN Dear brothers and sisters in Jesus and the Apostles: Father Menard used to say: Let us never forget that the Holy Spirit is ready to visit us at all times in the same manner as He did the Apostles (1Cor 12-14). We must remain attentive to the Spirit of God, to his ways, to his wisdom that surpasses all human wisdom (1Cor 1, 17-31) (Cf. Text of presentation of the Rule of life). And this is what we have been doing in our community these last few months. We feel his presence, his constant and permanent action, assuring us that each moment is a Pentecost, a constant new Pentecost ; and that our spirituality will never tolerate losing the prodigious, explosive power of the first Pentecost. (Cf. Fr. Eusebe Menard, Text of presentation of the Rule of life). In the different visits we make in our communities, the Animator General as well as his Council, in the different countries where we go, we notice the action of the Holy Spirit. This is also what Father Vincent Kilidjian saw as he accompanied the Animator General during his last trip to Vietnam and Indonesia (24 February to 19 March 2015). This time, I invite you to take part in the joy we feel at the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in our community. We are presenting here certain events that fill us with joy and encourage us to continue our mission : to awaken, form and accompany vocations in different ministries in the Church. United in the Lord Jesus. Isaac-C. Martinez-Chuquizana, M.S.A. Animator General
