From January 31 to February 21, Brother Luc Boudreault, General Councillor, visited our brothers of the Délégation of France. The delegation is made up of three local communities: EHPAD Paradis, Maison Coindre and Saint-Just-Malmont. The Paradis community alone accounts for two-thirds of the brothers, i.e. 16 out of 24 brothers. Of course, the most obvious thing observe is the fragility of our brothers. But what we discover during the conversations and the days spent among them is the serenity and profound acceptance with which the brothers live their daily lives. We also experience communities that are prayerful, fraternal and welcoming.

It is moving to set foot in the land where Brother Polycarp himself and many of our predecessors lived, where so many men of religion were formed and dedicated their lives to God, and where they now rest in the peace of the Lord.

The brothers of the Delegation of France are thirsty for news from the rest of the Institute. In their own special way, they too are Sowers of Hope.

Thank you, dear brothers, for your eloquent testimony.
