Four new novices in Spain – The adventure of becoming a Theatine
On the morning of Monday, February 13, during the half hour prayer, the rite of initiation of the novitiate of the brothers took place in the Chapel of the Community of the House of Palma de Mallorca (Spain):
Elder Ordóñez (Colombia),
Daniel Rodriguez (Colombia)
Juan Diego Prieto (Colombia) and
Facundo Martinez (Argentina).
During the prayer and the entrance to the novitiate of these brothers, the entire community of the House of Son Espanyolet was present.
Fr. Pablo Guerrero Pacheco, CR, Provincial Superior, addressed a few words encouraging them to be a year of life of prayer, formation, personal growth and, above all, community; allowing themselves to be led by the Spirit to accept God’s will for their lives.
At the end of the celebration, Father Maestro, Fr. Francisco Delgado, CR, presented them with our Constitutions.
We finished the rite by singing Quaerite Primum Regnum Dei together.
We ask for your prayer for his vocation and perseverance.

Prayer
Oh God and our Father, who has called these brothers of ours to your plot, the Theatine Order, we ask you through the intercession of our Father Saint Cayetano to accompany this time of formation so that they discover the path to follow in the footsteps of ” Father of Providence” and at the service of the entire Holy Church. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit and is God forever and ever. Amen
Saints and Blessed Theatines, pray for us.
