\"Many of the m.s.a. workers in the \"Provincial Vineyard\" have reached the biblical age, the age of the brave.\u00a0 Their attachment to the family has not grown old; they are witnesses who challenge us with their ever-present concern for the Work to be continued; if physically they have laid down their apron, they always carry it in their heart and trust in Providence.<\/em><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Msa Province of Canada joyfully accompanies the Delegation of Africa.\u00a0 There too, as in the past in the Society, we meet members who are attentive and generous in their concern to give priests to the Church and to accompany them.\u00a0 It is and will be indispensable to give priority to the preparation of these accompaniers.<\/em><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This community life cannot be the project of a single person according to his or her individual objectives.\u00a0 The solidity of a building depends on the precious place of each stone and its adherence to its neighbor.<\/em><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If this community life requires openness to each person, it would benefit from being strengthened by the discovery and greater knowledge of the Msa communities living in other Provinces, Delegations, Local Communities of various countries or continents.<\/em><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Finally, it will be greatly favoured if the different levels of authority, of the service of communion, meet regularly at the same table. <\/em><\/h3>\n

Eus\u00e8be and M. Durand. \u00bb<\/em><\/h3>\n
