THE biblical passages - Matthew 28: 16-20
the eleven disciples, meanwhile, went to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him they worshiped him; some But they doubted. And Jesus came and said to them: "I was given all authority in heaven and in ter ra . Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing ndol in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. Here I am with you always, until the end of the world. "
THE QUESTION OF LIFE: NEAR '/ RECEPTION
The question of life this year, in three years linked to the cyclical nature of the class, is a question of proximity - Reception , in our case ''Historicized''of being cut through the missionary church that we want to characterize the proposal for 2007-2008.
This question embodies the idea of \u200b\u200bwho is tr eggs inserted in daily life, so varied, frenetic, contradictory, sometimes problematic, each of which certainly does not have total awareness, but in which each boy tries to perceive its role in everyday life and the importance of its presence in reality. This is the typical situation in which the boy feels he is one among many, one person among many others, but claims to have a role to understand the meaning of his presence in places where they live, to take part together other everyday situations, or by a person in the foreground, or a spectator, but responsible. Belonging to a group of individual, ecclesial or otherwise, to the Christian community is not exclusive, but also includes him and he will find indispensable part of a larger unit.
HIGHWAY, WITH YOU!
on, come on, come on ..! How many times, from our parents, we felt we repeat this phrase when we were kids ... maybe because it weighed move from where we were or why there was just to walk! Just call this a''move'' - Of course with different content and tone - will help us in this year partnership, to walk the streets of our business life.
on the street! E 'invitation to come out of our certainties to go to another meeting, to bear witness, with joy in your heart, all our love for the Lord! It 'an invitation to all of the ACR, so they can become aware of being, as a group, missionaries among their peers, bringing the joy and freshness of being friends with Jesus to everyone they meet. With you because this experience should not be done alone, and with the certainty of the Lord's company.
The road
The road is the place where people meet, or just one cross, is the place where you are together or they go straight without even looking in his face, the place where we share games , talk, walk, fight, joys, information, etc. or you do not share anything except the path that leads us to reach a destination is the place where you learn to relate to or be alone with yourself.
The road is the place ordinariness of everyday life, is the connection between our home and other homes, our certainties, habits, concerns, and the rest of the quarter, against which maybe we have some suspicion is a link between the subjectivity of each and the rest of the world is the possibility that I am given so that it can grow with others and become aware of myself.
Paradoxically, the road becomes the place where you can lose, in which reality presents itself in its most ruthless, where the logic of violence reigns ...
Within the evangelical tracks the road is fundamental: it is the place where Jesus meets people, he calls, today announced their salvation, but it is also the place where you walk towards Easter, where the disciples grow in the knowledge of Jesus, in the quality of discipleship.
Finally is the place to prepare for the encounter with Jesus, the road is the place that says the chance to experience real faith, a faith experience that goes beyond the ordinary pens (space-time) the sacred. There is no single road, but each of them you can experience the Church and meet Jesus in the next ... The idea of \u200b\u200bthe Church that the boy experiences this year is an open Church, the boundaries of which are invisible, the church is devoid of windows and doors, a space that expands the area around accepting what exists and where the road itself becomes part of the Church.
The road that we want understanding is certainly a real road, a concrete place, which belongs to everyday life where the boys meet, they experience, make mistakes, learn, interwoven relationships, are higher than some fear, become stronger or more vulnerable, they learn to distinguish good from evil, comparing their lives with all that is out. The road is also an important evangelical ... in the three years of his public life Jesus will travel far and wide the streets of Palestine, on the street and you will meet will meet, the road is the privileged place of the ad, of the mission. I
n background from childhood of Jesus, there are incidents of the road, or at least the path (eg. when, during the pilgrimage to Jerusalem with his parents''lost''to talk to the doctors in the temple ..), you immediately call to his mission in the world. By the way Jesus meets the everyday man ... seek him out.
This should be the attitude of every Christian and renounced the whole Church: to start walking towards each other. A journey that is not only linked to a motor that, physically, but that is mostly a state of mind, a dimension of openness and acceptance of others. Mary is a great model!
Even today, despite the appearance of urban and social function of our roads have changed, it is possible to experience Jesus in the street where they found unexpectedly and involuntarily confronted with opportunities to proclaim and witness to others the beauty of the Gospel.
Finally, we must not overlook the road, at least one experienced by Jesus is one with the size of the company ... he does not go alone to proclaim salvation to men before leaving choose travel companions, not perfect, but necessary and asks them to follow him to the path of Golgotha \u200b\u200b(also along the road of pain).
year are highly sensitive situations plausible, because Sometimes truth is not only stranger than fiction, but mostly because it is important to pass the idea that it is in the concrete experience of each of us has to play in proclaiming the Kingdom of God Jesus and his call to be apostles of joy among the brethren are not a fairy tale''invented''by the educators and the Don to take the good guys and bad guys in order not to follow their model, Jesus is a living presence here today and if you accept, is to transform the personal history of each.
why the boys are put to the discovery of how their peers who live in the streets of everyday life, to grasp, through listening, acceptance, openness another, the richness and joy of being God's children and friends of Jesus (the month of hello), they are called to discover the place and social distance from them, encouraging opportunities for dialogue, sharing and meeting dedicated Peace (month of peace), are called to live its going to be witnesses to others, in the style of co-responsibility, showing the beauty of friendship with Christ and commitment, based on gifts received, implementation dl kingdom of God ( months of meetings), looking for forms of engagement that make them capable of forms of attention to all the men and continue to be fellow travelers of the people who put them next to Jesus (TEE)
