 3 Text|         America. The seed that the religious have sown in the furrowed
 4 Text|       moment within the history of religious life. It is not a novelty
 5 Text|       manifested in a new style of religious life that touches all the
 6 Text|       novelty of this new style of religious life emerging in Latin America
 7 Text|     America are the following:~- A religious life with a mature historical
 8 Text|      mature historical sense: many religious are made to feel responsible
 9 Text|            from Latin America.~- A religious life with great potential
10 Text|         live in a netherworld.~- A religious life with faces of martyrs;
11 Text|       while, at the origins of the religious life, the monastic life

25 Text|            comes from presumptuous religious who are involved in this
26 Text|     newness, but who have lost the religious sense and who are monopolized
27 Text|           by a political sense; by religious that scorn the others, who
28 Text|          are also a threat for the religious life rising in Latin America,
29 Text|          our time require that the religious life be more prophetic,
30 Text|          be a life of martyrdom, a religious life of high risk.~ ~
