T.E.A.M.: The New Definition of Unity

The Vice-Provincial Chapter has not been a moment of reflection and dialogue but also of learning from each other. Before their departure, our Lay Brother and Sister wished us success for the remaining part of the chapter and also gave us a new definition of unity which is T.E.A.M. (Together Each Achieves More). No person is an island. None of us can bear much fruit working alone. Unity is the best asset you can ever have.

T-ogether as members of the vice province, the province and the congregation, we are witnesses and agents of unity and we will continue to advocate and promote it in spite of our different backgrounds, age… “Our diversity is an enrichment.” It is only in our togetherness that we are going to resolve the problems in our society. Amongst ourselves, therefore, no cases of disunity should be heard. We’ll work together for the Kingdom of God. It is in our diversity that we’ll get more exposure of each one and to learn to respect the opinions of the other.

E-ach of us is an essential component in the building and promotion of unity. Assumption is a home for each and all of us. Feeling at home opens one’s mind to creativity in work, have a common pull of resources and a concrete sense of belonging.

A-chievement is not when you pull down your brother or sister but when you raise him/her high all the way to heaven. We’re praying for you and we’ll continue to pray for you dear brothers and sisters. All want to acquire is the greatest degrees of holiness and the promotion of the “Kingdom of God in us and around us.” A Kingdom divided can not stand.

More-the more we want to achieve in our mission is see a successful completion of our projects and conception of more. Divided we are going to achieve nothing. Unity must make use think more about our project, the first being the building up and the promotion of peace and justice.

We continue to thank our lay Assumptionists for giving us the New meaning of UNITY as TEAM. We continue to pray for them in theit mission as Lay Assuptionists.
