Solidarity Gesture
From an early age, Jean Gailhac showed himself to be of an immense heart,
revealing himself to be particularly sensitive and attentive to the surrounding
reality. Always generous, in fidelity to his infinite love for God, he made
himself God’s servant and tried to find in his action the essence of his
baptismal vocation, responding to the most pressing needs of children and
women. He gave meaning to his life by risking the promotion of the weakest
and most marginalized “So that all may have life”.
With Gailhac, we learn that every gesture must start from God, and from God
comes the meaning of our life, which takes on a new dynamism when we give
ourselves and welcome the needs of others, especially the most vulnerable.
The life of our founder appeals to us and challenges us to reflect on our
actions, and to allow feelings of humanity to be generated in us that urge us to
commit ourselves to the defense of justice and the life of those who live in
contexts of greater vulnerability.
Today, following the example of Gailhac, we are encouraged, in fidelity to the
Mission of the Institute, to assume a gesture of solidarity in response to the
most pressing needs of our particular contexts.
Committed to our world, let us think of a gesture of solidarity, and share it.
