The members of the Liturgy team of the Sanctuary of Health and Peace met this Monday, the 17th, to reflect on the 2020 Fraternity Campaign. In addition to the training session, the team organized the Lenten program, Ash Wednesday, and Family Week, which will soon be announced here on the website.

The Liturgy team, responsible for praying, reflecting, and organizing the Liturgical-Sacramental life of the Sanctuary, learned about the theme of the Campaign – “Fraternity and life: gift and commitment” – and this year's motto: “He saw, felt compassion, and took care of him.”.

The team meeting was held in one of the halls of the SSCC Community Center.

The Fraternity Campaign 2020

In addition to being a personal commitment, caring for life is a task to be fulfilled communally. The Lenten conversion proposal of the 2020 Fraternity Campaign (CF 2020), whose theme is "Fraternity and Life: gift and commitment," can be put into practice through the organization of an animation team in the community, parish, diocese, or region.

The overall goal of CF 2020 is to raise awareness, in the light of God's Word, of the meaning of life as a Gift and Commitment, which translates into relationships of mutual care among people, families, communities, society, and the planet, our Common Home.

To promote these relationships of mutual care, the core text of the 2020 Fraternity Campaign draws on the term "community-home" from the General Guidelines for the Evangelizing Action of the Church in Brazil (DGAE 2019-2023), indicating that this should be "the place of affection, tenderness, and embrace, of fraternal encounter around the Word and the Eucharist that generate life." It also indicates that "the community generates life through the proclamation of the Word and the experience of fraternity.".

The text speaks of the invitation to build community-homes – missionary ecclesial communities – that are sent to confront “all kinds of exclusion” and to promote concrete actions of solidarity and inclusion. “This community is called to act in the world as a community that goes out to the human and existential peripheries.”.
