VIETNAM – EASTER SEASON 2026 Reflection by Fr. Martin Davakan, OSA

Hi brothers and sisters,

During my stay in Vietnam during Holy Week and the Easter celebration, I was deeply touched by the simplicity, the fervor, and the quality of the fraternal life shared with our brothers and the people of God there. This time allowed me to perceive more clearly both the beauty and the challenges of this young mission, carried forward generously despite still modest means. I was also moved by the warm welcome I received, by the interest shown in the Augustinian charism, and by the concrete signs of hope for the future. This stay confirmed for me how important it is to support this presence with confidence, so that the brothers may continue to grow in their mission and in an ever more stable and dignified community life. 

Fraternally greetings, 

Martin
