Future Pauline Cooperators of Eldorado in an Easter mood

On the afternoon of Saturday, April 5, 2025, we held with great joy the 2nd Meeting of the year with the Group of future Pauline Cooperators. We began with the song “Maria Pastora, cuida de nós”, invoking the presence and care of the Mother of the Apostles over all of us.

We reflected on Chapter III of the Statute of the Association of Pauline Cooperators, which deals with the Spirituality of the Pauline Cooperator, highlighting the following articles: 7 – An Integral Spirituality and 8 – Pauline Lifestyle.

It was a very blessed and profound formation, which invited us to look at the importance of nourishing our faith and prayer life, in order to be living witnesses of the Gospel in our daily lives. Pauline spirituality calls us to integrate mind, will and heart, with firmness and determination, just as Father Tiago Alberione taught us, who clearly indicated the path to follow: Christ the Teacher and Shepherd, the Way, the Truth and the Life.

A very special and enriching moment was the participation of Sister Marli Zavaski, who with her fraternal presence and her rich wisdom, led the study and sharing with great affection and depth. Her words helped us to better understand the meaning of Pauline spirituality. Her presence illuminated the meeting and strengthened our commitment to the mission.

We also reflect on the certainty that, by knowing and living the life of Christ, we become more like Him. Only in this way can we truly be like Jesus.

During the training, we delve deeper into the Alberionian method, which guides us through three stages: TRUTH – “From here I want to illuminate”, PATH – “Repent of sins” and LIFE – “Life in Christ”.

We close this moment of faith, study and fraternity with a final song, followed by the prayer of the Covenant, also known as the Secret of Success and the Lord’s Prayer, placing everything in God’s hands with gratitude and hope.
