Dearest coirmãos,
In the spirit of the liturgical feast of our holy Fundador, P. Luís Guanella, jointly with the desire for a devout and creative celebration that each voice will be made in each community and mission, I wish that each one of the voices would also be made with an exhortation, which It seems certain, but it's more urgent that we never have time to live, a time of validation, to the light of sanctity of our Pai Fundador, of our sanctity pessoal and community.
A Igreja ha algum tempo, eo Papa Francisco de jeito muito particular, nos stimulam a repensar a sanctidad de nossa vida de consagrados a partir da humanidade; abandon methods, behaviors, sins that hoje are incomprehensible for the people we live with, or if we follow our own being present in the world of homes and mulheres of hoje, with characteristics that we can go back on a path we understand and use for our time and I am capable of giving valid answers to the current quest with meaning that humanity dies of courage.
Certainly many marveled ficarão e se perguntarão: o estilo de vida consagrada de nossos padres não é mais válido? O witnesses who oferecemos, sometimes with difficulty and many decepções às pessoas de hoje é suficiente?
In response, mesmo que doa é não!
Já não é suficiente, deve se adaptar às necessidades do homem de hoje para serem uma resposta, uma orientação, um caminho para pessoal his sanctity. Já no satisfazória como como always been vivida a missão da vida consagrada, no satisfaz continue to speak a languegem de sinais, behaviours, ideias que pessoas de hoje já no compreendem!
Likewise, as outros religious institutes, we must be able to announce in our life that we are always and never do we never hear from Pe. Guanella, mas não como o Pe. Guanelle. The world of hoje demands our outras mensagens and the lack of vocational responses also in our provinces, now in all springs, of fate, we come to meet him both in Africa and India, whereupon it seems now that all of us are, also farm ser motivado por esse mal-entendido de lingua between us and o homem de hoje.
I only reflash the proactive results of a study on this topic that the Witnesses magazine presents on its pages as "Novas Perspectivas de Vida Espiritual". Deixo a vocês a reading from análise e comparação nas respectivas comunidades, acho um dever também para nós Guanellianos, e so dou conselho concluding para tentar um diálogo abrangente con o povo de hoje.
Na Italia, com a lei do “terceiro setor”1, we are studying new forms of work management and structures. I am aware that it is a suitable opportunity to leave our religious communities in this reformulation of our mission of consecrated people. One of the Fundadors who, as a present at his party, gives us the ability to acknowledge that this change is necessary and to give our contribution, mesmo que pequena, so that he is also responsible for his congregation.
Notes on a new paradigm of sanctity:
1). Encontrar pessoas em suas ruas. O Pope Francisco we convidou várias vezes: "sair" para poder "encontrar". “That's what I'm saying that now in the day there are attractions to those forms of discipleship that we raise to integrate among the people, opening a space for new themes of life, happiness, freedom, vulnerability, sensitivity, ternura, with models of community that assume human characteristics and values e religiosis do território where we are inserted” (MD Chenu). A partir desta partilha, a Vida Religiosa tem a oportunidade de realizar o seu papel indispensável no meio do povo de Deus.
2). Consider espiritualidade as a laboratory of good success from humanidade. I am inspired, then, in those forms of life that from the Gospel I have raised to be pessoas, in which way of life is transparent that I believe it is not refrear to humanidade, vitality, beauty, espontaneity, but before “explodi-las” em plenitude.
3). I have the ability to develop an attitude of admiration and admiration. Como a primeira comunidade de Jerusalém. We must be capable of helping to eliminate the idea that the virtues of life are abandoned, a submission, a painful asceticism, or a despicable hair, or a mean of love, a legalistic rigidity. It is not the destruction of the values behind what our formation grows, but simply returns to the skills we have through a peaceful life style, which instills admiration, fascination, interest and is not halfhearted and incapable of imitating because it is very distant and difficult to o jovem de hoje compreender. Acompanhar por exemplo, parece-me o verbo mais adequado.
4). Create spaces to debate the new themes of life. For example, felicidade, liberdade, sensibilidade e ao mesmo tempo indicate às pessoas algumas das virtudes sociais mais urgentes, como a responsabilidade, a justiça, a salvaguarda da criação, a tolerância, a paz. São temas que o Papa frequently evokes. What then are we, Guanelianos, are we giving with our life of consecrations and with our mission of good Samaritans in these proposals to all humanity for the Church?
5). Returning to us «revolucionários» where we are playing family, education, caring, promotion of pessoa, politics, economy, where we are working for salvation, not only for people, but also for institutions. É o que o Papa Francisco pede à Vida Religiosa hoje. Sometimes in our history as a Congregação we generally never treated this aspect, we always prefer to be homes in peace, tranquillity, in the hope of serenity. But the prophets who foram a “strong voice” of the Gospel on the side of the poor also occasionally arise among the Guanellians. Lembro Pe. Antonio Ronchi, who in the depths of Chile moves the mountains to serve the last few great ones from history and you always ask for answers and attention from him.
Of course, these characteristics don't mean we play for our original charisma, certainly not! But if our communities were really open to the territory whereby if we locate and offer a witness to a pessoal and community willingness to engage in external provocations, let us credit what or what we do within our services, it is sufficient for us, so that they despair of all the hopes of life Voluntary religious to shine also in our Congregação.
Na visita canônica e nas visitas às comunidades que fiz nestes dois anos, notici algumas tentativas bonitas e significas para fazer surgir algo novo. Forward with determination and good luck!
A Igreja nos diz que este é o jeito certo de viver o nosso charism, mais atual do que nunca, porque é um dom de Deus ao serviço do homem de hoje.
I tried to welcome each coirmão for the witness and to try to live the charism and the Guanellian mission.
Obligado coirmãos em nome do Fundador!
Agreeço de novo to todos pelo que faro de novo, os melhores sentiments para vocês, para irmãs e Cooperadores, para seus colaboradores e para aqueles que moram em nossas casas, depositing his fiancé in us.
Happy Feast of Sao Luis Guanella! Que ele nos abençoe e nos ajude con a proteção di lui!
1. A Social Economy constitutes a sphere do called third sector, sendo o primeiro sector, o sector público (State, Government); Sendo o segundo sector, o sector de empresas privadas, Nesta sequência de ideias, a Economia Social or Terceiro Sector pode pode eventually replace the action of the State or be an extension of this implementation of its social policies. Basically it includes two types of organizations: those that work as companies, which do not seek profit (liminally related to the cooperative movement), and private organizations seeking donations, quotations, voluntary work, public donations and recursos, such as associations and funds .
