There are many different approaches to Salvatorian Universality. While the sisters and brothers of the religious communities see in it more the all-embracing love of God that is given to every human being without exception, we Lay Salvatorians seek a more practical application of it. For it is a truly universal instrument to give and make our neighbor experience the love of God.
As mentioned before, one of our most important guiding principles is the words of Blessed Francis Jordan: "Maadamu kuna mtu mmoja duniani ambaye hamjui Mungu na hampendi Mungu kuliko vitu vyote, usithubutu kujiruhusu kupumzika kwa muda.” Endelea kusoma
Even if there are local Salvatorian communities in several countries of the world, we must now find a common path to the future. We are now a Private Association of the Faithful dotted with juridical personality recognized by the dicastery of laity, familia, and life at the Vatican. This indicates leaving some fond and cherished practices and taking over and becoming familiar with some new ones. In particular, we need to pay more attention to becoming a true community.
In a true community, it’s not enough to meet on a superficial conversational level, make a little more than small talk, and leave out all the areas that really get to the heart of a person and bring us closer together. True communities have passed 4 phases: Endelea kusoma
Tangu Wasalvatoriani wa Lay walianza kuendeleza katika miaka ya 70 na 80 ya karne iliyopita, sura zao zimebadilika sana. Wakati Wasalvatoriani wa kwanza wa Walei walikuwa walioacha kutoka katika jumuiya mbili za kidini za Kisalvatoriani, watu wa kawaida wa kweli wamezidi kujenga jamii za sasa. Na kwa hilo, roho au mtazamo tofauti ulijitokeza. Sawa katika maudhui ya kiroho lakini inaonyeshwa tofauti na maisha.
Katika zifuatazo nataka kuchora taswira ya Wasalvatoriani Walei leo sasa na jinsi maendeleo yanavyoweza kwenda mbele katika siku zijazo.
Ulimwengu tunaoishi una sura nyingi tofauti na pamoja na maswala na changamoto nyingi tofauti za maisha. Kuishi imani yetu ya Kikatoliki ya Kikristo si jambo rahisi katika maeneo mengi na inazidi kuwa vigumu hata katika maeneo yale ambayo hapo awali ilichukuliwa kuwa ya kimapokeo.. Sababu za hili ni tofauti na zinaendana sana na mabadiliko ya maadili na mitazamo yetu ya jamii. Endelea kusoma
In today’s increasingly globalized world, where challenges must be addressed locally and globally at the same time, basic and comprehensive education is inevitable. Even if some people will not like going back to school, our world and life today afford lifelong learning everywhere. It is a slogan but if you think about it more closely at all times it was necessary to face new challenges and experiences and analyze them. Without doing so nobody would have been able to survive at any time. Today of course in a globalized world the amount of information is enormous and increasing. But to be interested in multifaceted topics can only marginally be compared with going to school again. Endelea kusoma
Labda unajua picha hii iliyoundwa na Robert Zünd: “Katika matembezi ya kwenda Emau”.
Hata hivyo, wengi wetu hujikuta katika hali zinazofanana wakati mwingine. Siku baada ya sikukuu kuu ya Pasaka ni wakati mzuri wa kutafakari maneno ya Luka 24, 13-35.
Tunataka kukualika, kama single au pamoja na wengine kushiriki mawazo yako juu ya maandishi haya au kile kinachokuvutia kwenye maoni hapa chini. Na baraka za Bwana aliyefufuka zitufikie sisi sote.
Wakati wa utulivu, wakati wa kupona, wakati wa kufikiria upya, wakati wa kutarajia kwa furaha. Angalau kwamba tunapaswa kuunganishwa na neno Majilio, hata kama ulimwengu hauko hivyo. Mkazo juu ya kitovu cha kiumbe chetu cha Kisalvatoriani, juu ya Yesu Kristo, na kufikiria kwetu upya juu ya kuja kwake katika ulimwengu wetu kunapaswa kujaza mioyo yetu na furaha kuu. Ninajua kuwa ukweli ni kuzungumza lugha nyingine. Janga la Covid-19 bado linalazimisha wahasiriwa wengi, idadi ya maambukizo inaongezeka tena, kulingana na mabadiliko mapya ya virusi. Mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa pia ni magumu kubisha mlango wetu lakini watu wengi hawachukui hatua, usione alama ukutani (“Nilikuwa nakimbia …” [Na 5]) nadhani hawajaguswa na hilo. Je, tunafanana na Mfalme Belsazari?
Labda katika siku zijazo za matarajio makubwa, utaweza kuchukua muda nje. Wakati wa kujiuliza maisha yako mwenyewe, kuchunguza upya, kuelekeza upya, na kugundua tena kitovu cha kiumbe chetu cha Kisalvatoriani. Tusifumbie macho changamoto na alama za nyakati, tuwe pamoja kwa ujasiri kutafuta njia mpya za kuzingatia na uendelevu. Hebu tujifunze kuelewa jinsi kila mmoja wetu anaweza kukabiliana na uchafuzi wa mazingira, unyonyaji, na dhulma ya dunia.
Wimbo huo na uwe muunganisho kwako kwa wakati ujao. Kwa maana hii Majilio ya kutafakari na kwa kweli wakati wa matarajio makubwa…
Yesu mwenyewe anaosha miguu ya wanafunzi wake na anatualika sisi kuwatumikia wanadamu wenzetu kwa unyenyekevu:
“Wakati mimi, Mola wako na bwana wako, umeosha miguu yako, mnapaswa pia kuoshana miguu. Nimetoa mfano; nilichokufanyia, unapaswa pia kufanya” (Yohana 13, 14-15).
