An article by Michèle Castonguay, Lay Assumptionist in Quebec
My life has not been the same since I have been participating in the formation courses offered by the Assumptionist religious brothers of Montmartre in Quebec City. I have the impression of experiencing a new birth, both intellectually and spiritually. Whether it is the reading of biblical texts or the study of painters who throughout the centuries have been inspired by the Bible, these spiritual encounters strengthen our faith. We are deepening our understanding of the epistles of St. Paul, especially his letter to the Romans, which we are working on with Father Edouard. With a focus on the person of the risen Christ, these readings and classes give us a greater understanding of the human being in relationship with God.

Dear Assumption Family,
Next week is Assumption University's Espresso Your Faith Week, a week-long celebration that highlights the spiritual life of Assumption University and celebrates the gift of faith working in our lives and in our community.
While the majority of events will be able only to students on campus (see attached brochure for the entire schedule), we invite the wider Assumption family to join us on Monday, April 12 at 7:00PM EDT (via Zoom) for an Agape Latte with our very own Fr. Richard Lamoureux, Vice President for Mission at Assumption University, as he shares with us lessons learned in life and how faith has been pivotal through all of his adventures. (Zoom Meeting ID: 960 9509 5233)
What's Agape Latte? Come see for yourself!
A storytelling series on life and faith that invites your favorite Assumption faculty/staff to share powerful personal stories and transformative moments in their own lives about times they saw God working in their everyday life and about friendships, hope, forgiveness, family, vocational discernment, love, failures and loss, discovery, prayer, and the human experience so come and be inspired!

A Letter from
Rachel Dean
He is Risen! What a gift to be able to say these words in person this Easter. I have such clear memories of Holy Week last year and the contrast to this year is striking. We were a month into quarantine, and I streamed my church’s service alone from my apartment in Alumni. I tried to keep reminding myself that my feelings in the midst of all of the unknowns of the upcoming weeks and months were far more like what the disciples were experiencing that first Triduum than my “normal” worship experience, but I must admit I did not want perspective.

Today’s reflection is from Fr. Dennis Gallagher A.A.,
Provincial Superior of the Assumptionists in North America
What does it mean to live from the power of the resurrection? What does this look like? I’m reminded of one of Emeritus Pope Benedict’s most quoted statements: “being a Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.” It’s the second half of this statement that helps us understand what living from the resurrection really means – to encounter an event, a person a new horizon, a decisive direction for our lives.
