On the occasion of his vesture, the new name of Bro. Joseph was imposed upon Bro. Martial to express his change of life. For all those who could not attend, we offer the moving video of the ceremony. It is a public statement of the brother's decision to devote his life to God for ever: "With the help of God, I hope and desire to persevere unto death in my sacred purpose" (Ritual of the taking of habit). You may watch it on Gloria.tv or on Youtube.
The Father Prior puts the monastic habit on the postulant saying: "May the Lord clothe thee in the new man, who is created by God in justice and in the holiness of truth".
