A brother is...
-
A
man who has heard Christ’s message to truly be our brothers’ and
sisters’ keepers. 
-
The
religious brother seeks to relate to others like a real brother in a
family, helping not for personal gain but for the good of all.
-
In a world filled with selfishness, the witness of a brother living
as a brother to others is very much needed.
-
He strives to live a life that affirms the reality that we are all
members of the family of God ––
sisters and brothers to one another, called to be supportive
of each other. 
-
The
brother strives to witness Christ’s presence as our brother through his
efforts to be a living reminder that the Gospel message still is and will
always be relevant in today’s world.
-
The route chosen by the brothers is the living out of the
evangelical councils ––
chastity, obedience and poverty –– in the context of community and service to the Church and the modern
world through the apostolate he is called to.
-
Community
is the key as a brother attempts to affirm and support others.
He stands in need of similar support from others who have also made
a commitment to the fraternity of communal living and service to God’s
people. An important aspect
of being a brother today is not what he does but how he approaches what he
does. The brother strives to
be like Christ, who was vulnerable, loving, challenging, inspiring, and
most of all, human.
