Congregation of Jesus and Mary (Eudist)

Eudist Associates

International Eudist Associates Encounter

July 2009

From the 6th to 14th of July 2009,  in Douvre-la-Délivrande in La Roche du Theil, for the first time in the Congregation, we had a gathering of the Eudists Associates from all the provinces of the CJM in the world.

21 representatives:
- P. Michel Gérard, Superior General of the congregation
- P. Gustavo Londoño
- P. Pierre-Yves Pecqueux, from the General council
- Delegates of North America, Colombia, France, Venezuela and the vice province of Africa and their companions.

As delegates from the USA, Elisabet and Jim Ferrara went to this special gathering

in the words of Elisabet:

A lot of prayer, time and energy made possible the wonderful inter-Provincial Gathering of Associates and Incorporated. 

What a wonderful time of friendship, fun and study we experienced ! It was so inspiring to see how St. John Eudes is known and loved in so many different countries and to discover more about the activities of associates in these parts of the world.

Hoping for many fruits after this historical meeting: let us reflect on The FINAL MESSAGE given by the Superior General of the First Interprovincial gathering of Incorporated and associates to the Congregation:

 

Incorporated, associates : one same family, a common future

 

The July 2009 session is an historical gathering for the CJM. In application of the motion of the General Assembly of Quito 2001 and Quebec 2007, for the first time 8 incorporated ( 3 of them members of the general council) and 13 associates, delegates of the 4 provinces and vice province, were able to live together , pray together, make a pilgrimage on the footsteps of John Eudes, and discover the realities of the missionary commitments of each one.

1 – This new experience allowed to take into consideration an existing reality :

  • The Eudists, whether incorporated or associates, are one family. All share according to the 2 types of commitment , the community life, the spiritual life according to Jean Eudes, and the missionary life.

  • The charism of John Eudes is a patrimony of the Church which belongs just the same to the incorporated or the associates.

    It is expressed today through the diversity of the cultures, ways to teach, missionary customs, languages, whatever the way of belonging to the CJM.

  • The Eudist family only has a future with the development of the dynamism of the life of the communities of incorporated and of associates, through a mutual support and a joint  participation in the service of the Mission.

 

2 – In order to spread these first fruits, we must develop in all the provinces and vice provinces :

  • A spirit of co-responsibility between incorporated and associates in specific missions and works to the service of the whole Church, with a particular sensibility to manifest the mercy of God and to care for the weak and little ones.

  • The fraternity between the groups of associates and the communities of incorporated in a spirit of growing cordiality and of mutual trust which will allow to work together.

  • A constant communication between the provinces to continue to know better the realities and the actions of the associates and to carry them in our prayer (for example through a monthly appointment  on the 19th of every month).

  • A common investment into the vocational ministry for the benefit of all the states of life, in favor of the spreading the Eudist spirituality.

  • Times of formation together with associates and incorporated in order to become better rooted in this spiritual patrimony which animates us. 

3 – Conscious of the benefits of this session :

  • It seems to us very desirable that regular gatherings, identical in their composition (incorporated, associates, all the entities of the CJM, along with the Superior General and members of the general council) be planned for the future.

  • At this time it would be opportune for the next provincial and general assemblies to reflect about the participation of associates at some enlarged provincial councils and at some councils of the congregation.

 At the end of this founding moment in this encounter, we, incorporated, candidates in probation, associates, friends and collaborators, must realize that we are members of a unique Eudist family called to live in a vital complementarity for the future of the CJM and the service of the Church.

Eudist means incorporated or associate, the one and the other distinctly, the one and the other together.

ASSOCIATE FLYER

The History of St. John Eudes (1601-1680)

This French saint died at Caen in Normandy, France, on August 19, 1680 and was canonized in 1925. He fought vigorously against Jansenism and was one of the principal reformers of the Church in seventeenth-century France.

Born in Normandy, he was educated by the Jesuits and later entered the Congregation of the Oratory founded by Berulle at Paris. Ordained a priest in 1625, he later was named superior of the Oratorians at Caen, but still continued his apostolate of preaching popular missions and giving conferences to the clergy.

In 1643, John Eudes left the Oratorians in order to found the Congregation of Jesus and Mary (popularly known as Eudists), whose purpose was to preach parish missions, and to conduct seminaries. In 1641, he founded the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity, a branch of which eventually became the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. He was the first to promote devotion to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. After 48 years of ministry, he died at the age of 79.


What is an Associate?

A vocation as an associate involves a commitment, by women or men, who feel called by the Holy Spirit to unite their lives to God more intensely through a promise to fraternal life and fellowship. that is Sisterhood/Brotherhood.

Associates of the Congregation, founded by Saint John Eudes witness to Christ and spread the Good News of the gospel by striving to live as a transforming presence, or "leaven" in contemporary society, endeavoring to restore all things in Christ while living in their own residence and engaging in the employment of their choice. Hence, their entire lifestyle of prayer, work and social activities become their apostolate.

Associates exchange information and discuss how this style of life can bring Christ to the world and the world to Christ.


Promises of a Eudist Associate

Associates commit themselves to integrate in their life a certain form of sharing of the Eudist spiritual experience.

They participate, whenever possible, in activities offered to the Eudists in the area of spirituality. They take part, according to their possibility in the programs of spiritual formation.

They bring testimony, in their own way, of their Christian faith experience to other Eudists. They spend time studying the spirituality of a Eudist and sharing whenever possible, moments of prayer and communal celebration. An associate will integrate the Eudist apostolic priorities of evangelization and formation to ministry, to their personal commitments, existing ministries, where they live, work or in their service to the Christian Community.


Membership in a Eudist Community

Any single or married lay person who is emotionally mature, balanced psychologically, and who is self-supporting can seek membership as an Associate of the Congregation of Jesus and Mary. The Eudist Community also accepts, as associates, those individuals who are handicapped, who have had marriages annulled, have been divorced, or are widowed.

Members live in their own residence, dress in attire similar to their colleagues and work in or are retired from various positions such as secretaries, laborers, doctors, social workers, educators, office workers, nurses or lawyers. They provide for their own retirement and health needs.

Individual members find the strength and courage to fully live their unique vocation in a spiritual life nurtured by daily prayer, meditation and the Eucharist.


RECEPTIVITY is part of the event:

 

...We have become aware that the directions coming from previous councils did not produce the results anticipated because they were not heeded by the communities. It has been reasoned that receptivity is part of the event.” (From Vatican II to local Provincial Councils)

 

...A new formulation has been initiated beginning with the Constitutions. An ideal is recommended. And that is why the post-assemblies are of utmost importance. The recommendations are implemented if they are heeded by the whole body of the Congregation.

 

...September is the time when all of us, associates and confreres in community or region, plan our community life. No. 89 of the Constitutions and the corresponding Provincial Rules should be re-read. In preparing your plan for community life, I would strongly invite you to plan meetings to discuss the recommendations of the assembly. The dynamics at the time they were made should not be buried or gather dust on shelves. The preparation commission of last June's assembly is already back at work elaborating session questionnaires. In the near future, you will be informed of options being offered to help implement the recommendations.

 

Fr Provincial Raymond

ASSOCIATE POSSIBLE PROJECTS

The FIRST CALL to all associates is to maintain a strong emphasis on prayer and scriptures in all our interaction and in our ministry.

And, based on the two main purposes of the Congregation: 1) evangelization and 2) the formation of good laborers of the Gospels plus another purpose particular to the Associates 3) to support and assist the incorporated members of the Congregation (priests and lay members) by prayers and other means. The associates can work in a variety of projects to accomplish these goals. Here follow a list of possibilities including associate projects underway:


Evangelization:

1) Develop their own evangelization and ministry project based on a pastoral need in their parish community.

2) Assist in one or more of the C.J.M. (or) projects of the local Eudist Community.

3) Help develop more extensively and publicize the English section of the Eudist page on the Internet.

4) Acquire a house that would be a center for the associates and a residence for some of them. This house could be used as a center for retreats based mainly on Eudist spirituality and vocational discernment for lay, religious or priests.


Formation to Ministry:

  • Vocations: C.J. M.

1) Develop a vocation program where associates would identify possible candidates to the priesthood and religious life, then call them to this way of life, pray and support them in their vocational search. Such a program would of course try to direct persons to any congregation or diocese but should pay special attention to the needs of the Eudists and congregations of our spiritual family.

2) Help the local Eudist community to develop a screening plan for candidates and a formation program that could be conducted in our area.

3) Develop a vocation program and publicity material directed at specific Ethnic groups were vocations are abundant.

  • Vocations: C.J.M., Associates

1) Support persons that are already involved in a ministry by inviting them to join the Eudist associates or another support program or associates’ program that better serve their need.

2) Organize a formation program for persons interested in becoming a Eudist associate

3) Develop a recruitment plan for potential candidates to be associated.

  • Vocations: General:

1) Organize and participate in Eudist spirituality sessions for the general public.

2) Conscious of the diversity of Ethnic groups in our area, develop a Eudist associates’ program directed at the such groups as the Hispanic, Philippino and Vietnamese.

3) Call fellow parishioners and friends to serve in ministries we have identified.

4) Participate whenever possible in evangelization and ministry training offered by the Diocese, the parish or the Eudist community.

 

Support of the Eudists:

1) Help Eudist who are retired or disabled to continue their ministry.

2) Adopt particular Eudists for whom the associate would offer prayers and sacrifices in support of their ministry. The associate would also ask these Eudists to pray for the associate and his/her ministry.

3) Be alert for opportunities for the Eudists to give retreats and recollections.

4) To serve as substitute for one of the Eudists when appropriate.


 

 

PRAYER-LIFE: In prayer, we begin :


BLESSINGS:
Each community member provides yearly anniversary dates. The community member is remembered by the community on the dates provided. Remembrance can include prayer, cards, dinner or other remembrance.  Dates include Baptism, Ordination, Incorporation, Vows, Holy Communion, and other special dates determined by the community member.


 
PRAYER REQUEST:  A community member’s request for prayer for any reason.


PRAYER LINK: 
with FOCUS is a prayer project currently being promoted in the Eudist Community of San Diego.

In an effort to be One with the Father, as our Lord Jesus is One with the Father, we choose to pursue this project in the Holy Spirit.

The vision of prayer link is to more readily enable the gifts of the Holy Spirit to inspire, strengthen, and guide our community.

The mission of prayer link is to promote growth and solidarity within our community in such a way that the mission of the community is, measurably, more readily accomplished.

The goals of prayer link are to provide each incorporated member with at least two associate members for whom to pray; and to provide each associate member with at least one incorporated member for whom to pray.

The activity of prayer link begins with each community member contacting in prayer his or her prayer partner.  Contacting may include phoning, EMailing, visiting, etc. - you decide.


FOCUS
is intended to assist associates in PRAYER LINK. Hopefully this biographical information, from the Directory of our North American Province, will facilitate prayerful communication. We hope you will get to know each other better.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Je crois en l’Esprit Saint,                                                qui est Seigneur et qui donne la vie ;

Creo en el Espíritu Santo,                                                Señor  y dador de vida,

 

Who proceeds from the Father and the son,                 he is worshiped and glorified.

qui ex Patre Filioque procedit; qui cum Patre et Filio,                       simul adoratur et conglorificatur :

il procède du Père et du Fils.     Avec le Père et le Fils,             il reçoit même adoration et même gloire ;

que procede del Padre y del Hijo, que con el Padre y el Hijo recibe una misma adoración y gloria,

 

 

He has spoken through the Prophets.                             

Qui locutus est per prophetas.                            

Il a parlé par les prophètes.

Y que habló por los profetas.

 

We believe in one holy catholic  and apostolic Church.                                                         

Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam.

Je crois en l’Eglise, une, sainte, catholique et  apostolique.

Creo en la Iglesia, que es una, santa, católica y apostólica

 

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.                                      

Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum.

Je reconnais un seul baptême pour le pardon des péchés.

Confieso que hay un solo bautismo para el perdón de los pecados.

 

We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen

Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum, et vitam venturi saeculi.                       Amen

J’attends la résurrection des morts, et la vie du monde à venir.               Amen

Espero la resurrección de los muertos y la vida del mundo futuro.             Amen

e) I believe in God, The Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

f) Je crois en Dieu, le Père tout-puissant, créateur du ciel et de la terre.

s) Creo en Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra.

 

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.

Et en Jésus Christ, son Fils unique, notre Seigneur,

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.

qui a été conçu du Saint-Esprit, est né de la Vierge Marie,

que fue concebido por obra y gracia del Espíritu Santo, nació de santa Maria Virgen,

 

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, died, and was buried.

a souffert sous Ponce Pilate, a été crucifié, est mort et a été enseveli,

padeció bajo el poder de Poncio Pilato, fue crucificado, muerto y sepultado,

 

He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again.

est descendu aux enfers, le troisième jour, est ressuscité des morts,

descendió a los infiernos, al tercer día resucitó de intre los muertos,

 

He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

est monté aux cieux, est assis à la droite de Dieu le Père tout-puissant,

subió a los cielos y esta sentado a la derecha de Dios, Padre todopoderoso.

 

He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

d’où il viendra juger les vivants et les morts.

Desde allí ha de venir a juzgar a vivos y muertos.

 

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints,

Je crois en l’Esprit Saint, à la sainte Eglise catholique, à la communion des saints,

Creo en el Espíritu Santo, la santa Iglesia católica, la comunión de los santos,

 

 

The forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen

à la rémission des péchés, à la résurrection de la chaire, à la vie éternelle. Amen.

El perdón de los pecados, la resurrección de la carne, y la vida eterna. Amen

for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.

Il s’est penché sur son humble servante;

Porque ha mirado la humillación de su esclava.

 

From this day all generations will call me blessed:

Désormais, tous les âges me diront bienheureuse

Desde ahora me felicitarán todas las generaciones,

 

the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

Le Puissant fit pour moi des merveilles; Saint est son nom!

Porque el Poderoso ha hecho obras grandes por mí, su nombre es santo

 

He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation.

Son amour s’étend d’âge en âge sur ceux qui le craignent..

Y su miserocordia llega a sus fieles de generación en generación.

 

He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit.

Déployant la force de son bras, il disperse les superbes.

El hace proezas con su brazo, dispersa a los soberbios de corazón.

 

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly.

Il renverse les puissants de leurs trônes, il élève les humbles.

Derriba del trono a los poderosos y enaltece a los humildes,

 

He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty,

Il comble de biens les affamés, renvoie les riches les mains vides.

A los hambrientos los colma de bienes y a los ricos los despide vacios.

 

He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy,

Il relève Israel, son serviteur, il se souvient de son amour,

Auxilia a Israel, su servio, acordándose de su misericordia

 

the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.

He has raised up for us a mighty savior, born of the house of his servant David.

Il a fait surgir la force qui nous sauve dans la maison de David, son serviteur,

suscitándonos una fuerza de salvación en la casa de David, su servio,

 

Through his holy prophets he promised of old

Comme il l’avait dit par la bouche des saints, par ses prophètes, depuis les temps anciens:

según lo había predicho desde antiguo por la boca de sus santos profetas.

 

that he would save us from our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us.

Salut qui nous arrache à l’ennemi, à la main de tous nos oppresseurs,

Es la salvación que nos libra de nuestros enemigos y de la mano de todos los que nos odian ;

 

He promised to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant.

Amour qu’il montre envers nos pères, mémoire de son alliance sainte,

ha realizado así la misericordia que tuvo con nuestros padres, recordando su santa alianza

 

This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham:

Serment juré à notre père Abraham

y el juramento que juró a nuestro padre Abraham.

 

to set us free from the hands of our enemies, free to worship him without fear,

de nous rendre sans crainte, afin que delivrés de la main des ennemis

Para concedernos que, libres de temor, arrancados de la mano de los enemigos,

 

holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.

nous le servions dans la justice et la sainteté, en sa presence, tout au long de nos jours.

le sirvamos con santidad y justicia, en su presencia, todos nuestros días.

 

You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High;

Et toi, petit enfant, tu seras appelé prophète du Très-Haut:

Y a tí, niño, te llamarán profeta del Altíssimo,

 

for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,

tu marcheras devant, à la face du Seigneur, et tu prépareras ses chemins

porque irás delante del Señor a preparar sus caminos,

 

to give his people knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins.

Pour donner à son peuple de connaître le salut par la rémission de ses péchés,

anunciando a su pueblo la salvación, el perdón de sus pecados.

 

In the tender compassion of our God the dawn from on high shall break upon us,

Grâce à la tendresse, à l’amour de notre Dieu, quand nous visite l’astre d’en haut,

Por la entrañable misericordia de nuestro Dios, nos visitará el sol que nace de lo alto,

 

to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,

pour illuminer ceux qui habitent les ténèbres et l’ombre de la mort,

para iluminar a los que viven en tiniebla y en sombre de muerte,

 

and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Pour conduire nos pas au chemin de la paix.

para guiar nuestros pasos por el camino de la paz.
