Edifício comunitário

Mesmo que existam comunidades salvatorianas locais em vários países do mundo, devemos agora encontrar um caminho comum para o futuro. Somos agora uma Associação Privada de Fiéis dotada de personalidade jurídica reconhecida pelo dicastério dos leigos, família, e a vida no Vaticano. Isso indica deixar algumas práticas queridas e queridas e assumir e se familiarizar com algumas novas.. Em particular, precisamos prestar mais atenção para nos tornarmos uma verdadeira comunidade.

Eun / D verdadeiro comunidade, não é suficiente encontrar-se em um nível de conversação superficial, fazer um pouco mais do que conversa fiada, e deixar de fora todas as áreas que realmente tocam o coração de uma pessoa e nos aproximam. Comunidades verdadeiras passaram 4 fases:

 

First a phase of Pseudo-community, then the phase of chaos, followed by the phase of emptiness, and the phase of authenticity as the goal at the end of the process. Without going further into details now, it is important to know that every community must be aware of and face this group dynamic process. Otherwise, the groups will remain constantly in the pseudo-community without reaching real depth and true fraternal closeness.1 Avoiding those often painful and hurtful confrontations we would persist in the more side-by-side stage than in a stage of a true common life-sharing. All groups and local communities should feel invited to initiate such a process if they have not already done so.

Comunicação – again

Another very important point within a community is communication. Maybe a smile will appear on your face now, but there is still a lack. Hand on your heart, how much communication and exchange do you have within your local community? You think it is OK. as it is, some will think it’s perfect and good. And how is your communication across the local or even the country border? Do you know some Lay Salvatorians from other units and have a talk with them from time to time, exchanging e-mails or a message? – Não, not a wire across the own border?

No fear, you are not alone, many Lumay Salvatorians act and think similarly. But is this an attribute of a worldwide Salvatorian community? – You see, there is also a lot to do, on the supra-local level. But communication can’t be done by the members of the GC only. We can support and accompany you, but some things are your responsibility, especially when you need to radiate outside your box. So take a heart, jump over your shadow, don’t let discourage you, and start your supra-local communication. At least from tomorrow on.
