After studying the sondage carried out in the Province, the General Council has decided to appoint Br. Ricardo Reynoso as Provincial of México Central for a second term of three years. Br Ricardo will begin his new term during the holding of the Provincial Chapter in November.
The General Council recognizes the satisfaction of many Brothers of the province with regard to Br Ricardo’s first three years of service as Provincial. At the same time, it invites all the Brothers of the Province to give support to strengthening the enthusiasm for being brothers, revitalizing community life and contributing to the new relationship with laity, vocations ministry, and the reorganization of works and communities.
Taking up the words of Br Emili Turú addressed to the Province: “Mary of Guadalupe journeys with each Brother and lay person to the “new land” to which the XXI General Chapter calls us. May she continue to be our model, companion and source of inspiration”.
____________________
Brother Ricardo was born October 25, l956. Before his election in 2009, he was vice-Provincial and Master of Postulants at FMS Mexico’s interprovincial Postulancy. In submitting a brief autobiographical sketch as delegate to the last General Chapter, in 2009, Brother Ricardo wrote as follows:
My path between false starts and successes has found direction in the measure that I have found God.
I have felt myself accompanied by « THE GOOD MOTHER » during my 11 years as formator in the postulancy, as director, master or apprentice among the Mixtec Indians, accompanied by communities and charitable brothers who have opened their heart to me :Chepe, Arturo, Chacho, Jorge, Renato, Avelino, Pancho …
I received training as a primary and secondary school teacher, and when I had need of new tools to succeed in carrying out Marcellin’s « dream », I participated in a seminar on pastoral planning and in a course for formators at Valpré (France). Most recently, in order to accompany the postulants, under my charge, in their journey of self-discovery, I took a course in psychotherapy.
My family is a large one. We lived the faith there in poverty and in the joy of sharing bread and work. My father, an active social activist, my tireless mother, an artist at heart, and my brothers, all have been a valuable resource for me.
