Be Claretian Today – SEMINAR “TO BE CLARETIAN FOR TODAY’S WORLD” Our identity And Charismatic belongingness CONGREGATIONAL SEMINAR 2010 1 MOTIVATION The lastly enlighten events such as 200years of birth anniversary of Saint Antony Mary Claret and 125 years of death anniversary of Maria Antonia Paris, and as we near the XVI General Chapter it has all moved us to organize a congregational reflection on the charism. We also consider important the motivations as: The world we live there is an accelerated evolution and complexity. It demands us to deepen our identity for a better response to the challenges of the mission. We are aware that with time we will carry out our mission in a more adverse background and solitude. Many times, the urgency of the mission will leave us alone, each one in her work and responsibility, facing the situations and apostolic activities, for which we need lot of depth and charismatic profoundness. The actual reality of our communities is: Some numerous and with lot of elderly sisters, others small in number; some are formed by very young sisters. Even within the same Entity, because it is formed by various countries, there are big distances: geographically, culturally, in age, of formation, etc. but all are called to respond evangelizing mission. The cultural and geographical expansion of the Congregation needs means to revitalize the sense of unity and belongingness. Especially the new foundations in Asia and Africa where there are more young sisters with less opportunity to have contact with the traditions, the written doctrines and charismatic places, without the presence of the elderly sisters who can be near them. We are sure that the richness of the Seminar will strengthen our identity, the sense of belongingness and the commitment to actualize and inculturate the Charism to our here and now. 2. OBJECTIVES 1. To do an updated reading of some fundamental elements of the Charism. 2. To interiorize this charismatic gift so that it may help us to live it more profoundly. 3. To pray over these fundamental themes for our being, so that we let God shape us according to the specific call we have received. 4. To seek among all how should we live it in our today. 2 5. To prepare together the upcoming XVI General Chapter at the light of these reflections 3.

Ondina Cortés. 3 INTRODUCTORY NOTES ABOUT IDENTITY AND BELONGINGNESS By Jolanta Kafka rmi 1. Entering… We are beginning this workshop - seminar on "Our charismatic identity - to live it out today? " and my task is to do an initial work to create a common perspective in this congregational reflection: - to open some questions and to share about them - to suggest some fundamental criterion for the seminar. But my first question to direct to each one of us it whether we do seriously feel the necessity of the seminar. Do we feel the desire of this reflection work personally? And concretely: Do we question ourselves about our identity? And if the question arises, from which point of view? Is it a sign of regression to ask again who we are or do we have our identity clear? Or maybe the response is theoretically easy but our forms of life are sometimes reflecting lack of coherency, or are full of contradictions? On the other hand the capacity of questioning and finding responses can be a manifestation of the Spirit who is calling us, challenging and opening up to be a seekers of God and of His will! 2. General notions Before entering into the Claretian missionary identity theme, I would like to recall some basic notions about the identity from the psychosocial view. The Identity - says the unique identification with oneself, the no-repeatability, that joining various features, all unified, describe the individual, not only in his or her today but also in her/his potentiality. At the same time the word id-entity: similar to the entity, evokes also a relationship. This relationship occurs inside (within) the person – who identifies her gender, qualities, characteristic features, origin, belongingness on the basis of relationships (origins and family) etc; and outside of the person - what the person goes identifying of herself in interaction with other ones. From the beginnings of the person's growth the identity goes acquiring significance in contact with others - relationship - confrontation: On the level of knowledge: - what the person discovers in herself – in confrontation with what other say about On level of affectivity: - what the other accept of her – in confrontation with what the person goes accepting of herself, (her sex, distinguishing other persons from things…. step by step). Many conflicts arise when these relationships are not well identified and balanced. 4 The process of growth lasts a lifetime, as a path o road where to move forward it is necessary to cross bridges that one has built. Each stage is to cross a new bridge. If the bridge doesn't have good base where it starts up, it will not be stable. That is to say that advancing toward a new stage supposes to have made the previous stage more or less well. The past warrants the future. But the past – in the sense of having the experiences, enlightened by the principal values or faith and interiorized for the personal growth. This has also implications in the formation process: the community offers to the candidates the conditions and means to build up all the dimensions of their developing identity; the formandee harmonically integrates through the personalization process. A definitive, in many aspects, stage for the growth of the identity is the adolescence, peculiar because in this stage the person in the meads of struggles, goes emerging more intensely with the elements of her identity. In this stage the search of the identity crosses a very significant bridge. She or he leaves experiences and elements of identity behind (childhood, depending relationship in the family…). This will be successful when - the corporeity and the sexuality is definitively accepted - the stability is rooted in significant family nucleus - with both autonomy and appropriate dependence; in this time the identification with other groups can appear too and the identification with models as well. - the separation from the affective presence is gradually lived out with serenity - possible initiation in the responsibility and commitments. It is not strange therefore that in this stage the interior movements such like: looking for personal place for the future, self-giving experiences and those we can call vocational, develop and lead to new initiatives. It is true that now the adolescence is extended in years, but the main characteristics that describe it don't change. To integrate with love and acceptance all the dimensions of this list, she/he must continue constructing and developing the basis of identity with constancy and patience until it will be achieved in the mature age. We could consider a person with integrated identity when she or he is: a. capable of self-definition not only in the qualities she/he has yet for the sense of live she/he gives b. able to make decisions and to pursue his/her goals, because they are in accordance with the values - criteria - to judge her/him-self and to asses others c. able to be coherent – there must be consistence between what she/he says of him/herself and what the other ones say about d. able to be flexible but non re-mouldable. e. able to relate to others, and manage differences with respect and reciprocity f. able to give something without gratification; able to give oneself. Only the one who knows (possess) himself, is able to give up himself.. All the features integrated require certain stability in time. It is impossible to speak about identity when behaviours and manifestations are temporary kept in certain rigour or adjustment. If there is not an integration work prolonged in time, we will be not be able to define the personality. As curiosity but quite near to our understanding of the achieved identity I add the definition of a philosopher from India that I found among the thoughts published in a newspaper. He says: the identity is the instance of the relationship among the deep I and the capacity of thinking, 5 judging and acting. This instance is the one that is able to explain itself when thinking precedes the action and when the actions precedes thinking. Is it possible to put on risk or can get lost the identity - even after having being partially achieved? Experiences like - - constant prejudices - that block the free expression - affections that create dependences (to be identified with the other one by the affection or another benefit) - behaviours that can weaken the capacities and even features of the personality (roll, submission…) - dependences (fashions, drugs, alcohol, TV, Internet, games…) … they can alter the balance of the identity. If may happen that we feel sometimes out of the danger, but not all are in the same vital and vocational moment. The process is personal and conditioned by many aspects. In the list of these “dangerous” for the identity experiences are options of everyday life. It may appear simply but in reality every day demands a new option…; every day a decide what I will do with the time, how I spent energies, which relationship I establish, whether I overcame prejudices or maybe I am creating them… The experiences I do every day and how I face them can lead me harmonically in achieving the identity or, on the contrary, can lead me to its "diffusion" or delay the time of its definitions.

  • A Name Identifies You in a Unique Way, Not Just Your Physical Self, but Who You Are As Person
    CHOOSING A CONFIRMATION NAME. A name identifies you in a unique way, not just your physical self, but who you are as person. One of the traditional practices in the Church at the time of Confirmation is choosing a name that will remind you of this sacrament. Your prayerful reflection will help you determine that name. You might want to recommit yourself to your baptismal name since it expresses the relationship that exist between these two sacraments, especially after you reflect on its meaning and discover some of the people who shared your name in Christian history. You might want to choose the name of a saint who represents the type of Cristian you wish to be. It is important to learn as much as you can about your patron saint. After all, you are asking this saint to be your friend and advocate for the rest of your life. Whether you decide to stay with your baptismal name or pick a new name, take the time to research and explore the root meaning of the name, for as Scripture says: “Yahweh calls each of us by name”. One of the most beautiful parts of your journey towards confirmation is choosing a patron saint, one of the great saints of our Church whose life in Christ is one that inspires you and calls you to be an ardent and radiant catholic. The saint are not just people who lived long ago! Moreover, they are alive in heaven now, totally present in our lives through God’s grace and their prayers.

  • The Autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret
    Saint Anthony Mary Claret AUTOBIOGRAPHY Edited by JOSÉ MARIA VIÑAS, CMF Director Studium Claretianum Rome Forward by ALFRED ESPOSITO, CMF Claretian Publications Chicago, 1976 FOREWORD The General Prefecture for Religious Life has for some time wanted to bring out a pocket edition of the Autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret to enable all Claretians to enjoy the benefit of personal contact with the most authentic source of our charism and spirit. Without discounting the value of consulting other editions, it was felt there was a real need to make this basic text fully available to all Claretians. The need seemed all the more pressing in view of the assessment of the General Chapter of 1973: "Although, on the one hand, the essential elements and rationale of our charism are sufficiently explicit and well defined in the declarations 'On the Charism of our Founder' and 'On the Spiritual Heritage of the Congregation' (1967), on the other hand, they do not seem to have been sufficiently assimilated personally or communitarily, or fully integrated into our life" (cf. RL, 7, a and b). Our Claretian family's inner need to become vitally aware of its own charism is a matter that concerns the whole Church. Pope Paul's motu proprio "Ecclesiae Sanctae" prescribes that "for the betterment of the Church itself, religious institutes should strive to achieve an authentic understanding of their original spirit, so that adhering to it faithfully in their decisions for adaptation, religious life may be purified of elements that are foreign to it and freed from whatever is outdated" (II, 16, 3).

Claret speaks of hisA companions as those who have received the same spirit that encouraged him (cf. Aut 489). We are Claretians because we have also received that same spirit to proclaim the Gospel today. A closer contact with our Founder and with the history of the Congregation will help us fan the flames of our missionary spirit and find urgent, timely and effective ways to carry out our mission in the times in which we are living. Fidelity to our roots and openness to new realities, demand a fruitful relationship with the elder Claretians who walked before us. Pope Francis, addressing consecrated men and women, reminded us of the importance of this mutual relationship: For if the young are called to open new doors, the elderly hold the keys. An institute remains youthful by going back to its roots, by listening to its older members.

  • Biography of S. Anthony Mary Claret
    Biography of S. Anthony Mary Claret Childhood St. Anthony Mary Claret was born in Catalonia, the northeastern corner of Spain, in a town called Sallent on December 23, 1807. He was the fifth son of Juan Claret and Josefa Clará's eleven children. His father owned a small textile factory, but was not rich. Anthony grew up in a Christian environment, and at a very early age had a strong sense of the eternal life that Christ wanted all men and women to enjoy. He wanted to spare sinners eternal unhappiness, and felt moved to work for their salvation. When he was about eleven years old, a bishop visited his school and asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. Without hesitation he responded: "A priest." Weaver As soon as Anthony was old enough, he began working as an apprentice weaver. When he turned 17, his father sent him to Barcelona to study the latest techniques in textile manufacturing and to work in the large textile mills. He did so well in the textile design school that he began receiving offers from large textile companies. Even though he had the talent to succeed, he turned down the offers and returned home after experiencing the emptiness of worldly achievements. Vocation The words of the Gospel kept resounding in his heart: "what good is it for man to win the world if he loses his soul?" He began to study Latin to prepare to enter the Seminary. He wanted to be a Carthusian Monk. His father was ready to accept the will of God, but preferred to see him become a diocesan priest.

  • The Charterhouse of Nonenque: a Discussion of an Existing Medieval Nunnery in the Context of Carthusian Architecture
    The charterhouse of Nonenque: a discussion of an existing medieval nunnery in the context of Carthusian architecture Carol Steyn Research fellow, Department of Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology, University of South Africa E-mail: [email protected] The Charterhouse of Nonenque is one of the few remaining charterhouses for nuns in the world. It was built in the 12th century as a Cistercian Abbey and adapted in the early 20th century as a Carthusian charterhouse. In this article the buildings of Nonenque are described according to the plans of the layout after a brief history of the abbey. The structure of the buildings is discussed in the context of Carthusian architecture and also in the context of the Carthusian way of life. Carthusian architecture is shown to be unique in monastic architecture since the Carthusian way of life demands greater solitude than those of the other orders and buildings are constructed to make provision for this. Since Nonenque was adapted from a Cistercian building the measures needed to adapt buildings of other orders to Carthusian needs are discussed. These adaptations are more radical in the case of Charterhouses for monks than in those for nuns. Works of art at Nonenque are discussed briefly. This article on Nonenque follows on a visit of a few days which I was allowed to make to the nunnery in 2004. Die Kartuisiese klooster van Nonenque: 'n bespreking van 'n bestaande middeleeuse nonneklooster in die verband van Kartuisiese argitektuur Die Kartuisiese klooster van Nonenque is een van die min oorblywende Kartuisiese kloosters vir nonne in die wêreld.

  • Must Catholics Pray the Rosary?
    The Our Father and the Hail Mary flow from the Gospels. Jesus said, “This is how you are to pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be with James & John done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today Must Catholics Pray the Rosary? our daily bread…’” Mt 6:9-13 The angel Gabriel said to Mary, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” Lk 1:28 “When Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; Know This… and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a Devotion is the disposition, attitude, and action of loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your the will to give honor and praise to God. Prayer is womb!’” Lk 1:41-42 an acknowledgement of God’s presence and man’s dependence on Him. Sincere prayer draws the believer into a deeper relationship with Jesus and leads him to “The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, holiness. The Mass is the ultimate devotion and prayer and his ears are open to their prayer.” 1 Pet 3:12 “The Rosary is a magnificent for Catholics. Catholics must participate in Mass on and universal prayer for the needs of the Church, the Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation. The Rosary is also nations, and the entire world.” Blessed Pope John Paul II “The Rosary is devotion and prayer; but unlike the Mass, a Catholic is the compendium of the entire Gospel.” Pope Pius XII “The Rosary not required to pray the Rosary.

  • TOWARDS a NEW IDENTITY the Vocation and Mission of Lay Brother in the Order Rome 2002
    Order of the Discalced Brothers of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel P. Camilo Maccise TOWARDS A NEW IDENTITY The vocation and mission of Lay Brother in the Order Rome 2002 INTRODUCTION A present day topic 1. For some years now I have wanted to propose to the Order a reflection on the vocation and mission of the brothers in our religious family. Various circumstances obliged me to delay its preparation, especially the expectation for the last seven years of the publication of a document from the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life on the topic, which was requested by the Synod on consecrated life(1). Since my second sexennium as Superior General is coming to a close I decided to turn this desire into reality. In effect, I consider it urgent and topical to offer some considerations on the theme in the light of history, present-day challenges and future prospects for this form of vocation within the Teresian Carmel. Even though it is true we are juridically a clerical Institute(2), at Carmel's beginnings there was no distinction between cleric and lay members. All were simply "Brothers"(3). As late as 1253, the Prior General of the Order was a lay brother. The Order came to know, like other religious families, the phenomenon of clericalization, which became a char- acteristic of religious life in the West. Our senior members know how much the distinction be- tween “Brothers” and "Fathers" had its effect on mentalities, customs and ways of living. 2.

  • How to Address Priests and Religious: Titles and Signs of Respect
    How to Address Priests and Religious: Titles and Signs of Respect Marian Therese Horvat, Ph.D. Before me are several interesting questions on how we should address priests and religious men and women sent to my desk recently by a lady. I will answer them today on the TIA website, since I think that my correspondent is not the only one with similar queries. In times past every Catholic used to know some of the simple rules that have been set aside from disuse. The general protocol was taught by sisters in grade school, but more often was learned as in osmosis from everyday practice. No one dreamed of calling Father O’Reilly by the nickname “Bill,” or, addressing Sister Margaret Mary as “Maggie.” Everyone knew you rose as a sign of respect when a priest or religious entered the room. Speaking before a gathering that included clergy or religious, a Catholic speaker as habit addressed them solemnly first. The dignified sisters inspired respect. Above, a sister teaches protocol in a pre-Vatican II Catholic classroom. But then came the tumultuous and leveling aftermath of Vatican II that spelled a death to formalities in the religious sphere. Priests, monks and sisters began to adopt the ways of a world that were becoming increasingly vulgar and egalitarian. Distinguishing titles and marks of respect were considered alienating and only for old- fashioned “establishment” people who were afraid to embrace the “signs of the times.” In the spirit of adaptation to the world, the cassock and habit were abandoned, along with the formal signs of respect paid to the persons who wore them.
