The workshop ran 11-13 October 2011. All formators and vocation directors from the conference were invited. Thus, participants came from Australia, Guam, English and French-speaking Canada, and the USA. Brothers from the General Secretariat for Formation also attended.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Christopher Popravak from the Mid-America Province offered a fascinating review of the history of contemplation, beginning with the attitudes of the Ancient Greeks and moving through the desert fathers, early monks and Franciscans in general. He concluded with an examination of the theme among notable Capuchins. Robert Barbato from the Western America Province and a member of the collaborative NAPCC novitiate team in Santa Ynez, California offered a candid reflection on the modern experience of contemplation in our jurisdictions. David Songy from the Mid-America Province and facilitator of the workshop offered observations concerning how formation for contemplation can occur within the external and internal forums.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The final day of the workshop utilized small group work and discussion to flush out how modern culture affects contemplation for new and young members of our jurisdictions. Finally, the group began work toward a better description of the fundamental dynamics of contemplation in a Franciscan context: the integration of communal and individual outcomes; how formation can lead to a desired outcome; and what it means "to fall in love with God."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1723760633444593157-864482553498171757?l=ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/feeds/864482553498171757/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2011/10/formation-for-contemplation-workshop.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/864482553498171757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/864482553498171757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2011/10/formation-for-contemplation-workshop.html' title='Formation for Contemplation Workshop'/><author><name>UGF OFMCap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15615929979422947252</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/S2xZ68uSsoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6ViDUF3y30Q/S220/logosolougf88x88.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t843J8Xgb98/TptC8UdVF-I/AAAAAAAAAyw/lgvAObov8-s/s72-c/Group+1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723760633444593157.post-144818383078554746</id><published>2011-09-04T11:31:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-04T11:32:41.588+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Bibliography news</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Silvano Fausti,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Sztuka rozeznawania i podejmowania decyzji.

Il Messaggio di Benedetto XVI per la Giornata delle comunicazioni sociali, intitolato I nuovi media al servizio dell’evangelizzazione, ha suggerito il tema del XXXVI Convegno del «Claretianum», Cultura della comunicazione mediatica e vita consacrata. Si tratta di approfondire la coscienza dei nuovi media come una straordinaria opportunità anche per i consacrati grazie alla quale essi possano compiere la loro missione. Le diverse relazioni raccolte in questo volume tracciano una panoramica delle grandi possibilità offerte dalla nuova cultura digitale alla dimensione missionaria della vocazione dei consacrati, i quali è necessario che «mettano anima» nel mondo virtuale con grande e responsabile libertà.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gerharg Lohfink,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Modlitwa moją ojczyzną.

Lohfink podkreśla, że modlić się to znaczy żyć w modlitwie. Jeśli modlitwa ma zagarnąć nas całych, powinna być różnorodna, czerpać inspiracje od najlepszych, skłaniać do działania – albo więcej: być działaniem. Musi, "walczyć” z Bogiem, ale też paradować przed Nim, gdy odnosimy zwycięstwa, albo płakać, gdy przegrywamy. Nie stanie się jednak ojczyzną, nie zadomowimy się w niej, jeśli lepiej nie poznamy, o co tak naprawdę w niej chodzi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1723760633444593157-144818383078554746?l=ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/feeds/144818383078554746/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2011/09/silvano-fausti-sztuka-rozeznawania-i.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/144818383078554746'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/144818383078554746'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2011/09/silvano-fausti-sztuka-rozeznawania-i.html' title='Bibliography news'/><author><name>UGF OFMCap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15615929979422947252</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/S2xZ68uSsoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6ViDUF3y30Q/S220/logosolougf88x88.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723760633444593157.post-1637029298282054208</id><published>2011-07-31T09:04:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-31T09:05:43.640+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Course for formators in Indonesia</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cg1GteNpoyY/TjRsFHIZP6I/AAAAAAAAAyc/7zNmuwa7mzU/s1600/P1120942.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cg1GteNpoyY/TjRsFHIZP6I/AAAAAAAAAyc/7zNmuwa7mzU/s320/P1120942.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;20 formators from three provinces of Indonesia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt; (Medan, Sibolga and Pontianak) gathered together at Pemantangsiantar for the formation course from 11 to 15 July 2011. It was organized by the SGF in collaboration with the International Formation Council member for PACC – Br. Tano Simamora and with the precious help of Br. Benitius Brevoort, the translator.  Three essential themes of the formative journey were dealt with during the course: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Role of Fraternity in Formation &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;(Br. Prince Valiyakunnel), &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Role of Spiritual Accompaniment in Formation &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;(Br. Patric Crasta) and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Role of Prayer in Formation &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;(Br. Marek &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="pl-PL"&gt;Miszczyński&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;).  The participants listened to the presentations on each theme, read some texts that deepened the awareness on the particular theme and at the end shared the personal experiences regarding the theme in the small groups as well as in the full assembly. Thus the great value and usefulness of dealing on the fundamental problems of Formation and the richness of mutual sharing was re-affirmed. The presence of Br. Bonifasius Simanullang, representative of the Indonesian Provincial Ministers, was highly appreciated by everyone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1723760633444593157-1637029298282054208?l=ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/feeds/1637029298282054208/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2011/07/course-for-formators-in-indonesia.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/1637029298282054208'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/1637029298282054208'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2011/07/course-for-formators-in-indonesia.html' title='Course for formators in Indonesia'/><author><name>UGF OFMCap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15615929979422947252</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/S2xZ68uSsoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6ViDUF3y30Q/S220/logosolougf88x88.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cg1GteNpoyY/TjRsFHIZP6I/AAAAAAAAAyc/7zNmuwa7mzU/s72-c/P1120942.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723760633444593157.post-2215380103673966997</id><published>2011-06-17T16:55:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-17T16:58:16.859+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Bibliography news</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;G.

Ecco forse perché la cosa stenta a decollare e divenire prassi abituale e universale, per quanto se ne parli». Le pagine del volume espongono il vero senso della formazione permanente, la sua ragion d'essere e la funzione essenziale.

Książka pokazuje, że uczuciowość i emocjonalność przynależą do normalności życia, a umiejętność nawiązywania kontaktów jest niezbędna dla zachowania równowagi w życiu każdego człowieka, stanowiąc tym samym zapowiedź pogody ducha zarówno w relacjach z innymi jak i życiu parafialnym.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1723760633444593157-2215380103673966997?l=ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/feeds/2215380103673966997/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2011/06/g.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/2215380103673966997'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/2215380103673966997'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2011/06/g.html' title='Bibliography news'/><author><name>UGF OFMCap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15615929979422947252</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/S2xZ68uSsoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6ViDUF3y30Q/S220/logosolougf88x88.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723760633444593157.post-8271807391995517252</id><published>2011-05-08T15:06:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2011-05-11T16:26:05.371+02:00</updated><title type='text'>VI Assembly of General Formation Office</title><content type='html'>&lt;embed flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;amp;RGB=0xffffff&amp;amp;feed=https%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2F117580396341542768659%2Falbumid%2F5605059271525339809%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Dit" height="240" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="https://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“&lt;i&gt;We must value what we have, and look ahead with great hope as we tackle the issues in the Order’s life&lt;/i&gt;”. This was the message of our General Minister Br. Mauro Jöhri in his homily at the closing Mass of the International Formation Council. It was also a rallying call for the General Formation Secretariat, at its sixth general assembly held in Frascati from May 2-6 2011. Both the General Minister of the Friars Minor, Br. José Rodrìguez Carballo, and our own Br, Mauro, shared their views on the challenges, prospects and starategies facing the Order in the area of formation, and provided much material for reflection and a lively debate. Br. Mauro’s presence throughout the 5 days of the assembly was particularly appreciated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Assembly produced a first draft of the Statute of the General Formation Secretariat, which will be submitted to the General Definitory.

This means not only experiencing God’s mercy ourselves, but also obtaining it for others through prayer and a lifestyle that is a sign of that fatherly presence of God which is so much needed today”. These were the closing words of Mgr Michele Castoro to the participants at the International Week of Reconciliation, held at San Giovanni Rotondo from March 14-18, 2011. Over a hundred Capuchin friars and diocesan priests attended, from Italy, Romania, Spain, Portugal, Slovachia, Poland, Malta, India, Ethiopia, USA, Argentina, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Colombia. The meeting was organised in partnership between the Capuchin General Secretariat for Formation and the Shrine of Padre Pio. Against the backdrop of the example of the great “apostle of the confessional”, Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, the meeting provided useful ideas for enhancing the confessional ministry and making it a true experience of reconciliation, at a time when so many obstacles, not the least of which arise from our secularised societies, have made the sacrament of reconciliation something of a “forgotten sacrament” for many people. At the same time, there is a deep and widespread hunger for peace and reconciliation, which is why this sacrament is a vital part of the Church’s ministry and an occasion of genuine inner renewal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;EMBED height=226 type=application/x-shockwave-flash pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer width=402 src=https://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;captions=1&amp;hl=pl&amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;feed=https%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fofmcap.info%2Falbumid%2F5587684416625527537%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Dpl" scale="ShowAll" loop="loop" menu="menu" wmode="Window" quality="1"&gt;&lt;/EMBED&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1723760633444593157-7978881819726935222?l=ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/feeds/7978881819726935222/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2011/04/experiencing-reconciliation.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/7978881819726935222'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/7978881819726935222'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2011/04/experiencing-reconciliation.html' title='Experiencing Reconciliation'/><author><name>UGF OFMCap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15615929979422947252</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/S2xZ68uSsoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6ViDUF3y30Q/S220/logosolougf88x88.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723760633444593157.post-3250188083122169186</id><published>2011-02-10T09:29:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-10T09:32:45.435+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Visit to Formation houses in Puerto Rico</title><content type='html'>The visit to the formation houses in Puerto Rico took place from January 24-28, thanks to the interest and planning of Br Francisco Garcia, Vice-provincial minister of the circumscription. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It was an opportunity to make contact with the brothers most closely involved with formation, both directors and the young brothers themselves.

Scopo del lavoro è di aiutare a fare chiarezza circa il percorso di vita della persona, riconoscendone desideri ed eventuali ostacoli o ambiguità, tenendo presente in particolare tre finalità fondamentali: descrivere il soggetto nel suo sviluppo affettivo, cognitivo, relazionale; notare se esso sia consapevole delle sue aree problematiche, valutando le relative capacità di autocontrollo; mostrare i possibili riflessi nell'esperienza spirituale e nella sua rappresentazione di Dio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Kijas Z.

Ojcowie ci nie ograniczali się tylko do teoretycznego poznawania prawd teologicznych, ale zawsze pytali, jakie mają one znaczenie dla życia duchowego. Także Špidlík dociera w swych rozważaniach do jądra spraw, dotykając naszej żywej teraźniejszości. Powstało dzięki temu ciekawie skonstruowane inspirujące spojrzenie na duchowość pierwszych wieków chrześcijaństwa, które zadowoli każdego, kto pragnie się duchowo odświeżyć i dokształcić.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;• Pardilla A., &lt;em&gt;“The Christ of Formation”.

The spiritual animation of the fraternity as the primary task of Guardian was highlighted very often. It is animation that permits each brother to accept the works of the Holy Spirit in the heart. Only then one can speak of a true fraternity. The moments of relfection, fraternal sharing, prayer, visit to the places that are significant to our faith and vocation, and even simply being together have brought us to the conviction that greater the love of God in us, closer the hearts unite.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1723760633444593157-4178656774681970068?l=ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/feeds/4178656774681970068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2010/11/formation-course-for-guardians-of-cecoc.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/4178656774681970068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/4178656774681970068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2010/11/formation-course-for-guardians-of-cecoc.html' title='FORMATION COURSE FOR THE GUARDIANS OF CECOC'/><author><name>UGF OFMCap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15615929979422947252</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/S2xZ68uSsoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6ViDUF3y30Q/S220/logosolougf88x88.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/TPPbPapRExI/AAAAAAAAAq0/jaQuaVOkQoM/s72-c/Curia_Generale_Guardiani_CECOC.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723760633444593157.post-1650438315711368989</id><published>2010-11-15T21:24:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-11-15T21:24:40.434+01:00</updated><title type='text'>...Visiting the Initial Formation Houses of CIMPCap</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The other areas of collaborative formation of CIMPCap made themselves available for the visitation of the General Formation Secretary at the request of the General Minister.

It tends to remove God from the horizon of life and hinder discernment between good and evil. This situation makes the ministry of those who administer the Divine Mercy even more urgent, as the recently concluded Year of Priests has reminded us. The Capuchin friars, moved by the examples of their saints, feel strongly the need for greater commitment to this service in the Church. They, therefore, desire to offer an opportunity for reflection and formation to all priests on this topic. The International Reconciliation Week with its title &lt;strong&gt;“The Sacrament of Reconciliation in a Secularized World”&lt;/strong&gt; will take place &lt;strong&gt;from 14 to 18 March 2011 at San Giovanni Rotondo&lt;/strong&gt;, the place where the well-known Capuchin confessor, St. Pio of Pietrelcina, lived. We offer this opportunity to all Capuchins and all religious and secular priests who speak Italian, English or Spanish.

At the request of SGF some monasteries of Capuchin Clarist Sisters from various parts of the world have shown great enthusiasm to form a “prayer rose” to support spiritually the task of the General Minister to animate the Order in area of initial and ongoing formation through SGF and UGF. At present from ten conferences of the Order ten monasteries have dedicated to pray for our intention in a day of every week (&lt;a href="http://www.ofmcap.org/ugf/colspirit.doc"&gt;look&lt;/a&gt;). Thus each day of the week and all the days of the year, through their prayer, our sisters actively support us in our task of animation and formation. John Paul II, in his apostolic letter Novo Millennio Ineunte, wrote:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘If in the planning that awaits us we commit ourselves more confidently to a pastoral activity that gives personal and communal prayer its proper place, we shall be observing an essential principle of the Christian view of life: the primacy of grace. There is a temptation which perennially besets every spiritual journey and pastoral work: that of thinking that the results depend on our ability to act and to plan. God of course asks us really to cooperate with his grace, and therefore invites us to invest all our resources of intelligence and energy in serving the cause of the Kingdom. But it is fatal to forget that "without Christ we can do nothing"’ &lt;/em&gt;(NMI 38).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We, the members of SGF, thank the sisters who accompany us in prayer and who remind us to execute the words of John Paul II in our works. As we thank the monasteries and the individual sisters who took the initiative, we extend our invitation also to other monasteries and individual brothers and sisters who would like to join this spiritual collaboration. “If the LORD does not build the house, in vain does the builders’ labor” Ps 127). Let us be aware of it always so as to consider our life and work as the work of God. Thanks a lot!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1723760633444593157-3741024963856689095?l=ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/feeds/3741024963856689095/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2010/10/spiritual-collaboration-with-second.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/3741024963856689095'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/3741024963856689095'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2010/10/spiritual-collaboration-with-second.html' title='Spiritual Collaboration with the Second Order'/><author><name>UGF OFMCap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15615929979422947252</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/S2xZ68uSsoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6ViDUF3y30Q/S220/logosolougf88x88.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/TLV0wy344wI/AAAAAAAAAmU/ZB9-KHL9sOY/s72-c/84.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723760633444593157.post-878393637420217396</id><published>2010-10-19T12:27:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-20T19:42:15.566+02:00</updated><title type='text'>New Bibliographis</title><content type='html'>• &lt;strong&gt;Autores varios, &lt;em&gt;Vita Consecrata&lt;/em&gt;, Claretianas 2010&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se trata de una nueva e interesante colección de libros de ágil formato y precio muy asequible, con temas actuales e importantes de vida consagrada.

Prezentowane rozważania stanowią swego rodzaju punkt wyjścia do opisu ciszy i wykorzystania jej w procesie dydaktyczno-wychowawczym oraz formacyjnym. Warto podkreślać, jak znacząca jest obecność ciszy w procesie wychowania, szczególnie w sytuacji wszechobecnego hałasu i narastającej nadpobudliwości dzieci i młodzieży. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Jan Paweł II,&lt;em&gt; O modlitwie &lt;/em&gt;, Wydawnictwo M, 2010&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;O modlitwie to książka-przewodnik oparta o wybór tekstów Jana Pawła II. Papież wprowadzał wiernych w tajniki życia duchowego zawsze z pozycji świadka i człowieka żarliwej modlitwy. Przewodnik omawia różnorodne rodzaje i sposoby modlitwy. Wiele tekstów papieskich jest wprowadzeniem w podstawowe kwestie życia duchowego: wartość modlitwy; modlitwa jako fundamentem życia chrześcijańskiego, modlitwa jako słuchanie, modlitwa jako źródło światła i mocy, modlitwa wspólnotowa i osobista, modlitwa w rodzinie, modlitwa a asceza, modlitwa a wiara, modlitwa nieustająca, modlitwa a miłość, modlitwa w cierpieniu, Duch Święty i modlitwa.

L'articolo cerca di approfondire quali possano esserne le cause e cosa si possa fare per uscirne; invita a pensarne in termini di prevenzione e non solo delle azioni immediate. Meno impegnativo risulterebbe il riflettere sulle situazioni problematiche come eccezionali ma un atteggiamento del genere non porterebbe ad un rinnovamento della vita consacrata. Prendere invece consapevolezza dei problemi, dei disagi, delle crisi, tenere sempre in considerazione prima di tutto la persona che soffre, diventa impegno e responsabilità. Questo è il ruolo della formazione. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Pardilla A., &lt;em&gt;Il Cristo della Formazione.

Saggio storico-teologico d’interpretazione &lt;/em&gt;, EDB 2010&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;L'autore è mosso dal desiderio di indagare la differenza tra il presbitero secolare e quello religioso e di verificare se, nel momento in cui si definisce il carisma religioso, il sacramento dell'ordine si riduca a una dimensione secondaria. Scopo del saggio è inoltre abbozzare una concezione pluriforme del ministero ordinato che appaia pertinente sotto il profilo teologico, pastorale e canonico. L'intento è quello di contribuire all'evoluzione della concezione del presbitero nella Chiesa italiana affinché, conservando l'unità sacramentale, si rispettino le differenze che nascono dai carismi ecclesiali riconosciuti dalla Chiesa. Nell'affrontare il rapporto storico e teologico tra ministero ordinato e vita consacrata, la ricerca prende avvio esaminando la letteratura prodotta nel post-concilio sull'argomento, chiarisce poi lo sviluppo storico della figura del presbitero religioso nella Chiesa, offre una riflessione teologica sul ministero ordinato e il carisma della vita religiosa in rapporto all'attuale teologia del ministero ordinato e infine verifica quanto sviluppato nei capitoli precedenti alla luce del documento della CEI sulla formazione del presbitero in Italia (2007).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1723760633444593157-878393637420217396?l=ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/feeds/878393637420217396/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-bibliographics.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/878393637420217396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/878393637420217396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-bibliographics.html' title='New Bibliographis'/><author><name>UGF OFMCap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15615929979422947252</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/S2xZ68uSsoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6ViDUF3y30Q/S220/logosolougf88x88.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723760633444593157.post-1828699366473563511</id><published>2010-10-13T10:22:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-13T10:45:16.696+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Activites in summer</title><content type='html'>&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: ES;"&gt;After many weeks, we would like to share with you fraternally about the different tasks in animation and formation that the SGF had during this summer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1723760633444593157-1828699366473563511?l=ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/feeds/1828699366473563511/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2010/10/activites-in-summer.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/1828699366473563511'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/1828699366473563511'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2010/10/activites-in-summer.html' title='Activites in summer'/><author><name>UGF OFMCap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15615929979422947252</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/S2xZ68uSsoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6ViDUF3y30Q/S220/logosolougf88x88.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723760633444593157.post-2696625274730342304</id><published>2010-10-12T10:33:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-13T10:47:43.076+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Formators Course in the Conference of CONCAM</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;EL SALVADOR: From 2 to 13 August 2010 about twenty formators from the Conference of CONCAM came together for the course at San Salvador. In the first week basing on the Letter of General Minister, “Let us fan the flame of our charism”, the friars discussed and shared on the formation program of their respective circumscriptions and their own experiences in this regard. The collaborative dynamism emerged in the dialogue as the potential answer to confront the formative challenges that exist in the Conference. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In the second week Br. Roel Mejía Lara OFM Cap highlighted the particular role of the formator and the urging need of the formator being accompanied. Br. Roel’s competence in the branch of psychology enriched the sessions and enabled active participation in everyone. The friars, on various occasions, expressed their view on the validity of such meetings and the need of having it periodically programmed so as to enrich the formators and to help effective collaboration among the various circumscriptions of CONCAM.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The meeting was highly interesting experience for the two members of General Formation Secretariat. The greater awareness of initial formation in the local situation mutually enriches and makes the SGF function more efficiently in its role of animation. For this we thank Br.

The course was enriched by the input sessions by various professors and experts who dealt on Franciscan and Capuchin charism and related topics and by the sharing and interaction with those incharge of various general offices. The course was an occasion for the participants to visit the Franciscan and Capuchin places of importance such as Rome, San Giovanni Rotondo, Monte Sant’Angelo, Assisi, Greccio, Fonte Colombo, Spoleto, Celle di Cortona, Carceri, Monte Castale, La Verna, Camerino, and Albacina.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Br. Mauro Jöhri, the General Minister, concluded the course with the Eucharistic celebration and renewal of vows on the eve of 25 September at Frascati. In the meeting after the Eucharistic celebration the participants expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the General Minister and the Order for this great opportunity. On 27 September all the participants departed for their respective jurisdictions with great vigor and enthusiasm to live their commitment to the Franciscan and Capuchin charism&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;embed flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.it&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;amp;RGB=0xffffff&amp;amp;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.it%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fofmcap.ugf%2Falbumid%2F5528583072041222401%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Dit" height="267" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://picasaweb.google.it/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1723760633444593157-1728324287129267059?l=ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/feeds/1728324287129267059/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2010/10/formation-program-for-eacc-concao.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/1728324287129267059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/1728324287129267059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2010/10/formation-program-for-eacc-concao.html' title='formation program for EACC &amp; CONCAO'/><author><name>UGF OFMCap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15615929979422947252</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/S2xZ68uSsoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6ViDUF3y30Q/S220/logosolougf88x88.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723760633444593157.post-2989052558590684546</id><published>2010-07-14T18:43:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-07-14T18:43:33.841+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Capuchins and Ratio Formationis</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/TD3baWfshRI/AAAAAAAAAjM/7NleDn40VPw/s1600/testimoni-20091.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="146" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/TD3baWfshRI/AAAAAAAAAjM/7NleDn40VPw/s200/testimoni-20091.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Interculturality, authenticity, coherent unity and dynamism: these are the four pillars for the work of drafting a Ratio.

The President of the Institute of Spirituality (IFS), Antonianum and the director of the Masters course for Formators in the same Institute were also present for the meeting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The dialogue and the exchange of ideas and experiences in the area of animation for which these bodies were instituted were enlightening. The resources, challenges and difficulties faced, be it at the level of the central governments of the respective Orders or regarding the formation process of the young candidates who come from a secularized world where ‘initation’ to the values of consecretated life and to the Franciscan Spirtual heritage become increasingly more difficult. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;embed flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.it&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;amp;RGB=0xffffff&amp;amp;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.it%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fofmcap.ugf%2Falbumid%2F5487354933090631185%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Dit" height="267" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://picasaweb.google.it/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1723760633444593157-6829066502563953214?l=ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/feeds/6829066502563953214/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2010/06/meeting-of-formation-secretariats-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/6829066502563953214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1723760633444593157/posts/default/6829066502563953214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ugfofmcap-en.blogspot.com/2010/06/meeting-of-formation-secretariats-of.html' title='Meeting of the Formation Secretariats of the four Franciscan Orders'/><author><name>UGF OFMCap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15615929979422947252</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/S2xZ68uSsoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6ViDUF3y30Q/S220/logosolougf88x88.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723760633444593157.post-7330948050362008578</id><published>2010-06-26T18:15:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-06-26T18:16:30.085+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Masters Course for Formators 2011</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/TCId6A57MmI/AAAAAAAAAgI/p7LnhyshOE8/s1600/depliant_mf_2010_italiano_pagina_1_lrg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v_15MQy8Sgs/TCId6A57MmI/AAAAAAAAAgI/p7LnhyshOE8/s200/depliant_mf_2010_italiano_pagina_1_lrg.jpg" width="131" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Franciscan Institute of Spirituality of the Pontificial University of the Antonianum (PUA), in reply to the Reed of the franciscan family regarding the renewal of formation, suggets in a few years, a masters in formation.

The preliminary phases for a “Ratio Formationis Ordinis” in the context of inter-culturalism was the theme of study.

Da esperto formatore, specialista delle problematiche della mezza età, l'autore offre uno strumento dedicato ai consacrati quale aiuto per affrontare questioni psicologiche, esistenziali e spirituali che si agitano dentro di loro e favorire percorsi di soluzione.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;A.

Ecco forse perché la cosa stenta a decollare e divenire prassi abituale e universale, per quanto se ne parli». Le pagine del volume espongono il vero senso della formazione permanente, la sua ragion d'essere e la funzione essenziale.

Osoby te często stają w obliczu wielkiej samotności, bezsilności i wyobcowania. Książka pokazuje, że uczuciowość i emocjonalność przynależą do normalności życia, a umiejętność nawiązywania kontaktów jest niezbędna dla zachowania równowagi w życiu każdego człowieka, stanowiąc tym samym zapowiedź pogody ducha zarówno w relacjach z innymi jak i życiu parafialnym.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Cucci Giovanni, &lt;em&gt;Maturità dell'esperienza di fede,&lt;/em&gt; Elledici 2010&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Questo libro tratta la problematica della possibile maturità dell'esperienza di fede dal punto di vista filosofico, psicologico e spirituale. Scopo del lavoro è di aiutare a fare chiarezza circa il percorso di vita della persona, riconoscendone desideri ed eventuali ostacoli o ambiguità, tenendo presente in particolare tre finalità fondamentali: descrivere il soggetto nel suo sviluppo affettivo, cognitivo, relazionale; notare se esso sia consapevole delle sue aree problematiche, valutando le relative capacità di autocontrollo; mostrare i possibili riflessi nell'esperienza spirituale e nella sua rappresentazione di Dio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Kijas Z.

Franco Imoda odsłania przed nami subtelne powiązania woli, rozumu i serca, wykorzystując do tego nie tylko mądrość płynącą z nauki, ale także swoje bogate doświadczenia kapłana i kierownika duchowego, wychowawcy i terapeuty.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Krzysztof Wons SDS, &lt;em&gt;Sens Życia.

Riuscire ad utilizzare le risorse economiche a vantaggio della missione e nel rispetto dei valori evangelici è una preoccupazione importante che riguarda l’identità religiosa oggi e la credibilità della testimonianza che si offre» (dalla Presentazione). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Si tratta di un libro molto attuale, interessante e che pone seri interrogativi.

Oggi, la persona consacrata, attraverso l'incontro reale con l'altro e la proclamazione di valori più grandi - come l'amore oblativo e la fedeltà, rappresentate da una chiara identità - è, non solo testimone della potenza emancipatrice della sequela di Gesù, ma rappresenta quel sano modello di vita, di fratellanza, tanto necessario in questa società.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Kard.

Zastanawia się w nich nad podstawowymi aspektami życia chrześcijańskiego: za punkt wyjścia obiera przy tym wypowiedzi wybitnych osobistości chrześcijańskich, którym tradycja przyznała honorowy tytuł "Ojców Kościoła". Ojcowie ci nie ograniczali się tylko do teoretycznego poznawania prawd teologicznych, ale zawsze pytali, jakie mają one znaczenie dla życia duchowego. Także Špidlík dociera w swych rozważaniach do jądra spraw, dotykając naszej żywej teraźniejszości. Powstało dzięki temu ciekawie skonstruowane inspirujące spojrzenie na duchowość pierwszych wieków chrześcijaństwa, które zadowoli każdego, kto pragnie się duchowo odświeżyć i dokształcić.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;• Pardilla A., &lt;em&gt;“The Christ of Formation”.

L'articolo cerca di approfondire quali possano esserne le cause e cosa si possa fare per uscirne; invita a pensarne in termini di prevenzione e non solo delle azioni immediate. Meno impegnativo risulterebbe il riflettere sulle situazioni problematiche come eccezionali ma un atteggiamento del genere non porterebbe ad un rinnovamento della vita consacrata. Prendere invece consapevolezza dei problemi, dei disagi, delle crisi, tenere sempre in considerazione prima di tutto la persona che soffre, diventa impegno e responsabilità.

Saggio storico-teologico d’interpretazione &lt;/em&gt;, EDB 2010&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;L'autore è mosso dal desiderio di indagare la differenza tra il presbitero secolare e quello religioso e di verificare se, nel momento in cui si definisce il carisma religioso, il sacramento dell'ordine si riduca a una dimensione secondaria. Scopo del saggio è inoltre abbozzare una concezione pluriforme del ministero ordinato che appaia pertinente sotto il profilo teologico, pastorale e canonico. L'intento è quello di contribuire all'evoluzione della concezione del presbitero nella Chiesa italiana affinché, conservando l'unità sacramentale, si rispettino le differenze che nascono dai carismi ecclesiali riconosciuti dalla Chiesa. Nell'affrontare il rapporto storico e teologico tra ministero ordinato e vita consacrata, la ricerca prende avvio esaminando la letteratura prodotta nel post-concilio sull'argomento, chiarisce poi lo sviluppo storico della figura del presbitero religioso nella Chiesa, offre una riflessione teologica sul ministero ordinato e il carisma della vita religiosa in rapporto all'attuale teologia del ministero ordinato e infine verifica quanto sviluppato nei capitoli precedenti alla luce del documento della CEI sulla formazione del presbitero in Italia (2007). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Walter Kasper, &lt;em&gt;Servitori della gioia.

Per farlo risale alle origini, agli apostoli, alla loro chiamata, al loro andare con Gesù per le strade della Galilea e della Giudea, e in particolare risale al momento in cui hanno origine la missione apostolica e tutta l’esistenza cristiana, e cioè il mistero della Pasqua di Gesù. La sera prima della sua morte Gesù ha istituito l’eucaristia e il sacerdozio; immediatamente dopo la risurrezione ha conferito ai suoi apostoli il potere di togliere i peccati, ha affidato a Pietro il suo gregge e ha inviato gli Undici in tutto il mondo. Von Balthasar vede la vita e la missione dei pastori d’oggi in continuità non solo con i primi apostoli, ma soprattutto con Gesù stesso. La persona e la missione di Gesù Cristo stanno al centro della spiritualità sacerdotale, e così tutte le riflessioni sul sacerdozio contenute nei testi qui raccolti ruotano attorno a Gesù Cristo e alla sua missione: Gesù come fonte e norma dell’esistenza sacerdotale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Nuove forme di vita consacrata,&lt;/em&gt; a cura di R.

Vengono trattati tanti aspetti che interessano le nuove comunità: il tipo di governo e il modo di vita, il modo di intendere i consigli evangelici, il modo con cui la Congregazione per gli Istituti di Vita Consacrata ha proceduto all’approvazione di alcuni di essi, le difficoltà d’interpretazione del canone 605 del Codice di diritto canonico, i rapporti non sempre facili tra la Congregazione per gli Istituti di Vita Consacrata e il Pontificio Consiglio per i Laici per il riconoscimento di quelle associazioni che prevedono un ramo di vita consacrata...

Podczas gdy jego naród odchodził od Boga, on żył wiarą i walczył o wiarę ludu, do którego został posłany. Żył prawdą, której naród nie chciał przyjąć. Choć stał się prorokiem „jak ogień”, nie przestał być człowiekiem kruchym i słabym. Opanowywał go nie tylko duchowy żar, ale i stany lęku graniczące z depresją i modlitwą o śmierć. Poznał, czym jest samotność, trwoga śmierci, pustka i dramat ucieczki. Doświadczył, czym jest nawrócenie, radość powrotu i wzięcie do nieba. Próby w wierze i duchowe zmagania towarzyszyły mu do końca ziemskich dni.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Anselm Grün OSB, &lt;em&gt;Między ideałami a słabościami&lt;/em&gt;, Zeszyty Formacji Duchowej nr 45, Wydawnictwo Salwator 2010&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Jesteśmy głodni ideałów. Bez nich przestajemy się rozwijać. Chrześcijanin znajduje je w Ewangelii. Ideały ewangeliczne są siłą życia, potrafią wydobyć z nas niespożyte energie ludzkie i duchowe i dobrze je ukierunkować. Stawiają nam wymagania, pomagają przekraczać własny egoizm, przeciętność i konsekwentnie dążyć do celu. Człowiek, który zatraca ideały, zatraca siebie. Dojrzałość ludzka i duchowa to takie przeżywanie napięcia między ideałami a słabościami, które prowadzi nas do rzeczywistego, a nie pozornego rozwoju.

L’Autore delinea, sullo sfondo della crisi che la Chiesa contemporanea sta attraversando, una identità sacerdotale all’altezza delle sfide del nostro tempo. È un libro che vuol incoraggiare chi s’impegna nel ministero ecclesiastico, ma vuol anche affiancare il cristiano laico che intende impegnarsi sulla via di una Chiesa in cammino verso una terra ancora inesplorata.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Bruno Forte, &lt;em&gt;I Salmi delle ascensioni: Un cammino spirituale&lt;/em&gt;, Edizioni San Paolo 2010&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Nei Salmi delle ascensioni (dal 120 al 134) la salita fisica verso la Città Santa si presta ad essere colta come simbolo dell’ascensione a Dio, cui tutti siamo chiamati: Colui che ci ha fatti per sé, attira a sé il nostro cuore inquieto. Perciò, questi canti si offrono come una metafora della vita, cammino dell’uomo verso la Città celeste dov’è la vera dimora e patria di ciascuno di noi. Entrare nel mondo evocato da questi Salmi vuol dire educarsi al desiderio di Dio, riconoscendo in Lui la vera meta, da sempre intravista e non ancora posseduta, e cogliendo nel Suo abbraccio promesso il porto sospirato cui orientare la navigazione della vita personale e della storia nella sequela del Figlio, morto e risorto per noi. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Giovanni Cucci, Hans Zollner, &lt;em&gt;Chiesa e pedofilia.

Niebezpieczeństwo wewnętrznego rozbicia i wypalenia wiąże się bowiem ściśle z nieczystą troską o szukanie indywidualnej gratyfikacji na polu zawodowym, rodzinnym i towarzyskim oraz z lękowym przywiązaniem do siebie i do tego wszystkiego, kim jesteśmy, co robimy i co posiadamy. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Michelina Tenace, &lt;em&gt;Posługa przełożonych&lt;/em&gt;, Wydawnictwo Salwator 2010&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Czy w każdej wspólnocie działającej w oparciu o Ewangelię potrzebna jest osoba sprawująca władzę? Jakie zagrożenia łączą się z posługą przełożonego? Na czym polega zarządzanie wspólnotą w Kościele? – oto pytania, które stały się podstawą do rozważań zawartych w niniejszej publikacji. Autorka, analizując postawy wielkich świętych (m.in. Bazylego, Benedykta, Dominika), stara się nakreślić ideał posługi przełożonego. Dotyka także kwestii skomplikowanych relacji między przełożonymi i podwładnymi, udzielając wskazówek, jak należy je budować i prostować. Czyni to, odwołując się m.in. do tradycji chrześcijańskiego wschodu. Czytając to dzieło, odkryjemy klucz do owocnej i udanej posługi przełożonych, czyli mądrość kierowaną miłością i w miłości się objawiającą.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Krzysztof Wons SDS, &lt;em&gt;Ty wiesz, że Cię kocham.

L'arcivescovo Angelo Amato, prefetto della Congregazione per le Cause dei santi, ribadisce il valore profondo attribuito alla rinuncia dei sacerdoti al matrimonio, un valore «teologico» che rimanda all'imitazione di Cristo. Il silenzio totale del Nuovo Testamento su mogli ed eventuali figli di Gesù ha un'unica spiegazione: non esistevano. Secondo il capo dicastero vaticano, poi, fin dall'inizio la verginità di Cristo è stata la fonte del carisma del celibato per il regno, vissuto in modo ammirevole da monaci, consacrati, sacerdoti, laici di ogni lingua e nazione, che hanno fatto di questo aspetto dell'imitazione di Cristo lo strumento più efficace della propria santificazione e della propria missione.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Józef Augustyn SJ&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Świat naszych uczuć.

Refleksję nad aktualnymi przyczynami rezygnacji z kapłaństwa w ujęciu socjologicznym i psychologicznym podejmują prof. Tadeusz Borkowski i ks. Mieczysław Kożuch SJ. Bogusław Borys pisze o swojej drodze do kapłaństwa i rezygnacji z niego.
