Covenant House
Being part of a spiritual family is a current need of many Christians, who often feel isolated. They feel a hunger and thirst to be fed and satiated by the Word of God. This is how the Covenant Community was born. It meets regularly in small fraternities, desiring to live out the spirituality of the Seeds of the Word Community in the heart of the world.
The members of the Covenant Community meet in one of their houses every week. The prayer is centred on Eucharistic grace, inviting us to pray with fidelity and fervour for the Church and her pastors, for priestly vocations, and for the unity of families and communities.
A prayer service, around the table, to give thanks for the Church and to pray for our pastors, for their vocations and for the unity of the Body of Christ;
A fraternal meal, shared together, in the spirit of Holy Thursday (dinner and testimonies);
A Biblical Journey, to listen, study, and pray with the Word of God. This journey through the Word of God leads each person to the Eucharist, the Sacraments, love for the Church and thirst for the salvation of souls.
Meetings
Commitment
Like the Life Community, the Covenant Community carries a missionary concern for evangelization, for the formation of disciples and for compassion among the poor. Its mission is to communicate the love of God and of the Church with a taste for the Word of God, meditated upon and studied among brothers and sisters.
The commitment of each member of the Covenant Community is pronounced annually, for a period of one year that is renewable, during a celebration presided over by the Founder, the General Moderator or their delegate. This commitment is lived not only on a spiritual level, but also on a human and fraternal level, including material and financial sharing with the Life Community. Those members who remain for more than five years can express a desire for definitive commitment.
