The Teams of Our Lady Newsletter

xcouple12.jpg This is a letter sent periodically by the International Leading Team to each couple who are in Teams of Our Lady. It establishes close links, and is a good means of circulating information among members. Together with this letter, among other things, there is an editorial, plus texts of prayers, news of teams, reports and articles for reflection.

 
A team of couples

xcouple15.png Each team is composed of 4 to 6 married couples and a spiritual counsellor (chaplain), who freely decide to be part of the movement of Teams of Our Lady, to respect its spirit, and to put into practice its suggestions. The team is the basic cell of the movement of Teams of Our Lady. Members of the team meet each month in a friendly atmosphere, and each year they elect a couple to be "in charge"- the Responsible Couple.

 
The Responsible Couple
xcouple13.pngThis is the couple elected each year by the team, They encourage and stimulate the prayer, efforts and actions of the other couples. Throughout the year they ensure the smooth running of team life regarding the choice of a study topic, the retreat, the annual contribution, and preparation for meetings.
 
The Team Meeting

This is the monthly meeting of the team, during which the members pray in the presence of God, eat a meal and share the most important events of the past month, and their efforts to make progress with the endeavours. Then they exchange views on the study topic, on which they have reflected during the month.

The team is a cell of the Church. The regular team meeting is the foundation stone of the members of Teams of Our Lady, and it is a very important time in team life.

Thought for Today

'Being on the road' means letting oneself be carried along by the events and by things without necessarily being able to make sense of them. ‘Taking to the road', in contrast, means opening oneself up to new demands because it implies the decision to start a trip, to think about the route to be taken, to experience the preparation time that brings alive the sensation of expectation and waiting, and above all, it allows one to realise that ‘being on the road' is our new state of being. This state of being creates different behaviour in us. It gives us new words to tackle everyday life in its little and large aspects and to look at the way history is unfolding around us and how we are actors within that history."
Carlo & Maria Carla Volpini
