1.      A SERIES OF CONVERGENT REFERENCE POINTS

-          Some fundamental orientations of VC:  in 47  Fraternity in the universal Church in communion and in mission;  48  the happening of communion in the particular churches; n. 49-50: an organic communion animated by charity; n. 51: a communion that goes beyond the Church to be witness for the world.

The Christological, pneumatological-charismatic, ecclesial root (n. 52) and its development through organisms in communion, formation, mission (n. 53).  Apostolic collaboration (n. 74).

-          In regard to collaboration in formation, I have pointed out the document of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life “Inter-Institute Collaboration for Formation” (1999).

-          From Novo Millennio Ineunte to  the instruction Starting Afresh from Christ.  The foundations of a spirituality of communion (SAfC nn. 28-29) open to communion among ancient and new charisms (n. 30) are points of reference for this renewed communion and collaboration in the Church.
