May the Lord uncover his face to you and bring you peace.                                                  Numbers 6:24-26 Dear Friends in Teams, We would like to take the opportunity of wishing you all every blessing from the Lord for the new calendar year which has just begun – a year in which we should all endeavour to come closer to Jesus; to progress along the path to holiness, which Fr Caffarel said was the “essential objective” of the Movement. In our last letter, our first as Responsible Couple for the Region, we referenced the papal document, Dilexit nos – On the Human and Divine Love of the Heart of Jesus, and specifically some questions which Pope Francis posed near the start of that document. The first of these questions “Who are we, really?” has provided us with the focus for this reflection.
