INTRODUCTION 1. “On his return from the East in the spring of 1220, Francis, on account of the physical limitations due to his many illnesses, was obliged to reduce his spoken communications to those far away from the circle of his closest companions and collaborators. But his need to communicate the fragrant words of our Lord Jesus Christ was still there. And so, writing became the instrument by which he overcame the distances he was no longer able to tackle physically. We are talking about the final years of Brother Francis, when, in his unmistakable epistolary style, he addressed long messages of exhortation to various categories of people, first of all to his brothers, whom he could no longer address by word of mouth. Nor was he able to attend capitular gatherings in person, but he did want his word to be present. The addition found in the most authoritative and reliable codices containing the Epistola toti Ordinimissa is very clear: De littera et 6 Summary admonitione beatissimi patris nostri Francisci quam misit fratribus ad capitulum quando erat infirmus.”1 2. These words are meant for us too, as we gather for the 85th General Chapter. Let me read you the opening passages: In the name of the most high Trinity and holy Unity: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. To all my reverend and dearly beloved brothers: to Brother …the General Minister of the Order of Friars Minor, its lord, and the other general ministers who will come after him, and

  • Testemunhar E Narrar O Martírio Os Mártires E Confessores Da Albânia (1944-1991)
    UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA PORTUGUESA FACULDADE DE TEOLOGIA MESTRADO INTEGRADO EM TEOLOGIA (1º grau canónico) ARTA LEKAJ Testemunhar e narrar o martírio Os mártires e confessores da Albânia (1944-1991) Dissertação Final sob orientação de: Prof. Doutor Isidro Pereira Lamelas Lisboa 2019 ᾿Εγὼ εἰς τοῦτο γεγέννεμαι καὶ εἰς τοῦτο ἐλήλυθα εἰς τὸν κόσμον, ἵνα μαρτυρήσω τῇ ἀλεθείᾳ· πᾶς ὁ ὢν ἐκ τῆς ἀληθείας ἀκούει μου τῆς φωνῆς (Jo 18, 37). “Eu para isso nasci e para isso vim ao mundo, para dar testemunho da Verdade. Todo aquele que é da verdade ouve a minha voz” (Jo 18, 37). RESUMO A presente dissertação procura narrar, testemunhar e dar a conhecer quem foram os 38 mártires da Albânia, beatificados em 2016, bispos, sacerdotes diocesanos e religiosos, um sacerdote ortodoxo, um seminarista, uma postulante e três leigos, e a forma do seu martírio tendo como fonte a obra do Padre Zef Pllumi, Vive somente para contar. O estudo não se limita aos 38 mártires, mas evoca tantos outros mártires e confessores, em sentido estrito e alargado, que professaram a sua fé na Albânia sob o regime comunista, entre os anos 40 a 90 do século XX. A partir destes “testemunhos” pretendemos recolher as linhas mestras de uma teologia do martírio para os dias de hoje, em tempos em que se volta a falar de cristianofobia. Partindo do paradoxo entre uma ideologia que quis “calar” a fé e a parresia dos que teimaram confessar a fé, faremos da narração a chave de leitura e de reflexão teológica. Para isso, não podemos deixar de nos situar no contexto histórico em que os factos se desenrolam, para, num segundo momento, melhor entendermos o significado dos factos narrados.
