Dear Lay Salvatorians, dear sisters, and brothers in Christ,
the ICDS prayer chain has changed to become a real connection to the ICDS community across the world. We invite you to join with us each Monday evening in prayers for Justice and Peace that will bring us all together across the world.
I’m sure you would have heard about the difficulties and inhuman situations of war, crimes, intolerances violence, and terror that are prevalent in many areas of the world, maybe even very close to where you live. The question is asked, “What can we as simple people of God do to end this?”
Therefore this invitation to all Lay Salvatorians and people who are connected to us to come together as far as possible, each Monday evening at the place where you live, to join in common prayer for peace and justice. To establish a global living chain – a cloud of prayer, it will be necessary to conduct this prayer between the hours of 6.00-9.00pm or (18.00-21.00) in your area. This three-hour range allows for the possibility to hand over the spirit of the prayer into the next time zone in a good way. It does not matter where you pray our make your contemplation, this can be in a church, at home or just simply walking down the street. Give yourself and the intention you are praying for a few minutes of your attention. In this way, we can build up a forwarding spiritual connection, you may say a prayer cloud, which goes around the world each Monday evening. This shows that all Lay Salvatorians are a community of people having the same intention and that no one is ever alone. Invite your unit, members, community family, and friends to support this intention.
You will find there first a common prayer or reflection followed by some word of Fr. Francis Jordan or Mother Mary of the Apostles.
Afterward, we offer prayer requests from around the world you can pick up or to choose some to include into your personal prayer. We hope this new shape of common action will find your agreement and ask for your spiritual support.
May Our Blessed Saviour Jesus Christ be with us at all times.
Christian Patzl – President of the ICDS

Se publicó una nueva carta de inspiración y motivación en el Blog espiritual de ICDS. No te pierdas de leerlo, pero ten cuidado, ¡podría inspirarte y motivarte!
Ein neuer Brief der Inspiration und Motivation wurde im spirituellen Blog der ICDS veröffentlicht. Versäumen Sie nicht, ihn zu lesen, aber seien Sie vorsichtig, er könnte Sie inspirieren und motivieren!
30 years ago, on May 14 – 19, 1990, a mixed international group of Salvatorian fathers, sisters and laity met in Rome for the first time to discuss the real possibility of establishing the Salvatorian Family. There were already some units with local forms of a “Salvatorian Family” group, but these were not everywhere and did not exist at the international level. Continue Reading
The CoVid19 pandemic is a big danger for each health care equipment in each country. But it is also a danger for each person because the experience of the last weeks shows that each one can be touched. It does not matter if you are young or old. But of course, people elderly with a groggy healthiness are a special group which has to get protected.
Therefore go on distance to your neighbor, your friends, and relatives, which do not live under the same roof with you. This does not mean that they are bad people now, but each of us can be a spreader of the virus. The following short animation by Juan Delcan and his partner Valentina Izaguirre shows very well the importance of physical distancing amidst the coronavirus pandemic and how it effect.
Trust in God, stay safe, hold distance!
Together we can make it!
La pandemia de CoVid19 es un gran peligro para cada equipo de atención médica en cada país. Pero también es un peligro para cada persona porque la experiencia de las últimas semanas muestra que cada uno puede ser tocado. No importa si eres joven o viejo. Pero, por supuesto, las personas mayores con una salud débil son un grupo especial que debe ser protegido.
Por lo tanto, mantente alejado de tus vecinos, amigos y parientes, que no viven bajo el mismo techo que tú. Esto no significa que sean malas personas ahora, pero cada uno de nosotros puede ser un propagador del virus. La siguiente animación corta de Juan Delcan y su compañera Valentina Izaguirre muestra muy bien la importancia del distanciamiento físico en medio de la pandemia de coronavirus y cómo afecta.
Confíe en Dios, manténgase a salvo, mantenga la distancia!
¡Juntos podemos lograrlo!

O Lord,
Risen, alive and full of grace.
You paid such a price that we may live in freedom today.
We worship your holy name and give thanks for your redeeming grace.
Heavenly Father,
May we drink in your tender love so that we can pour this love out to others.
Come reign in our hearts, minds and spirits.
Holy Spirit,
We welcome you to blow through our every word, action and thought.
Come transform us on the inside so that each day we become more like our risen Lord.
Amen.
Estamos muy contentos de poder ofrecer a todos los hispanohablantes la meditación del Vía Crucis en su idioma ahora.
We are very pleased to be able to offer to all Spanish speaking people the Way of the Cross meditation in their language now.
Furthermore, we thought that the following could be maybe helpful:
or help for meditation with the pictures, for those who never have worked with it before in this way.
The Way of the Cross should invite you to meditate and the pictures should help you to approach the events in your mind, in your imagination. For this you need a quiet place, and for each station and of course for each picture also enough time (about 15 min).
The contemplation is not only about “What is to be seen in the picture”, but rather “How is it depicted?” and “What appeals to me (through the picture)”. This means that the viewer has to get involved with the picture and must not remain on the surface. He must respond to the play of light and shadow and allow himself to be captivated by it. On what is to be seen superficially, but also on what could be discovered in secret. Each of the pictures thus tells one or more little stories that open up to the viewer’s imagination. The picture is nothing fixed or finished, it is a space of possibilities. And this space, together with the text, allows the viewer to immerse himself in the picture and become so part of it.
