On December 13, Definitors General Br. César Külkamp, OFM and Br. Joaquin Echeverry, OFM invited the Latin American student brothers of the “Blessed Gabriel Allegra” Fraternity of the Antonianum for a Christmas agape, with the aim of praying together and asking for peace in the world this Christmas. It was also a way for each to get to know one other and to share experiences on the studies by the students and on the path of the Order in Latin America by the Definitors.
During the sharing, a space was opened to reflect on the challenges of the Order in Latin America and on the contribution that the brothers can make in the future, based on their studies and the experience of living in an international fraternity, thanks to which students acquire a broader knowledge of the Order in the world. They also shared their impressions of the letter of the Minister General published last December 8, “Brothers and Minors Today – the Order In This Time”, addressed to all the friars of the Order, through which Br. Massimo Fusarelli, OFM, offers an insight into the current situation of the Order.
