Revitalizing and Transmitting the Charism

Reflection questions:

• What does the Passionist Family value and want to transit?
• How do you partner with lay men and women in the transmission?
• What do the people of God need from the Passionists Family?
• What do people of God need from you -  individual Passionists and partners?
