'+Synonyms+': The Little Community

'+Geographical/Regional usage+':

'+Description+': Hundreds of young indigenous Guatemalans are happy to bring the Good News of the Gospel from village to village, even if 90% of the people are illiterate. The girls wanted to do similarly. With the arrival of the Daughters of Charity this became a possibility. On 15th September 1977 nine “volunteers” who were living with the Sisters, led by Fr Jorge Puthenpura began an experience of community life with a view to forming a stable group, in an independent house. The previous May, the Salesian Provincial, Fr Ricardo Chinchilla, made the unexpected proposal that they be organised as an indigenous religious community, showing them the procedures and offering them the means. This was an act of Providence! On 31st January 1980 three young people from the group expressed the desire to form a “little community” with a view to serving their fellow 'campesinos'. On 31st January 1987 the community was approved by Bishop Gerardo Flores Reyes. Luisa Che became the first superior. The bishop regularised the vows of 14 Sisters and admitted the first three to perpetual vows. Two Houses of the Community were recognised. The “Talita Kumi” centre would become the most significant work of the Congregation. The Little Community is truly an inculturated one: all members are indigenous, even if this is not a statutory requirement. To begin with most of them were illiterate, but that did not stop them from handing on a deep and heartfelt cultural wealth. Their apostolate is to inculturate the Gospel and help their poorest brothers and sisters through catechetics and development, especially for young girls and women, through literacy, health education, family life, domestic finance, small farming and commercial farming with small mini-credit cooperatives etc. A totally new experience with a meaningful motto: “Christ is risen, let us also rise with Him”. The Paschal candle is a symbol of the Community.

(:zapend:) (:zapform key=Type:) '''Term type''' ('EntryTerm' ''if no other applies)'' (1) (2) [Initialisms like AGC are regarded as acronyms; a term like 'Bro.' is an abbreviation; an example of short form instead would be the main part of a very long book title (most of DB's book titles! 'Giovane Provveduto' is a short form). A loan term is not translated whereas a calque is. A blend is where two (or more) morphemes or 'word' parts have been combined to form a single term, as in the case of 'austraLasia'. Choose variant when there exists at least one other common form of the term. ] (:zapend:)
