This article “Spirituality of the Heart from Historical Perspective”, has been written by Fr. Johanis Mangkey MSC, of the Indonesian Province, for the novices of the Indonesian Province. He presented it to them over a series of days in October this year. The article is in Indonesian but can be translated using the online translator on this site. It is posted here especially for the reflection of our Indonesian MSC. We thank Fr. Mangkey for his insight and experience which he has shared over many years with the congregation, through his time in the General Administration, provincial Administration and with members worldwide.
If we understand Spirituality of the Heart as the underpinning structure of our lives, we see that it shapes and colours our perceptions and actions. While at the centre of our life and prayer our spirituality is more than a devotion, more than a theology; its movements are part of the human experience and give us a way of seeing ourselves and our mission in relation to God. In July 2022 the MSC Indonesian Province brought its younger men together in Bali for two weeks of Ongoing Formation [OGF]. Here there are three video presentations, produced by the wonderful media office of the province, on the content of that OGF.
