  1. Summary Feedback Day Two Six Groups

  2. Group One

  3. Group One • Lack of personalization in the process • Scrutinies are more personalized with participation of the candidate; rendiconto is more of a listening • Signs of integrated paradigm • What a blessing when a community has some members coming from a different paradigm

  4. Group Two • Classical paradigm: received and being used – nevertheless comfortable in finding that there are other paradigms • Need to be using more the participative way, involvement of the formands • Another challenge being faced: how to have an integral paradigm for every member of the formation team? How can these members come to understand the other paradigms?

  5. Group Three • Question: where are you coming from? Vows seems not to be crucial for the resource person; instead the way we SDBs see the vows, they are the expression of the eschatogoloical sign • Formed: classical paradigm • Way doing formation: eclectic • Do we have a paradigm as a Congregation/as a region?

  6. Group Three • Shall we be adopting a paradigm?

  7. Group Four • Appealing paradigm: integral model; lifestyle is the following of Christ through the evangelical counsels • Lacking on the formation to justice and ecological concerns because we are not yet using the integral model • Sacramental model: non-christian environment, practice of the sacraments is a curiosity

  8. Group Four • What makes us different from the lay? Since vocation is a gift – a personal call, it does not matter whether we do the same thing – the call is what distinguishes

  9. Group Five • Religious life = hidden treasure: good paradigm • Need to find this treasure because to possess it is not enough; there is a need to develop it – bring it to life • This treasure is Jesus: need to follow Jesus, live his lifestyle, choose what Jesus chose

  10. Group Five • What Jesus lived was the chaste, poor and obedient life = thus, to live chaste, poor and obedient • What Jesus chose was the poor, the abandoned and for their sake he offered his life = thus we choose the poor and the abandoned and offer one’s life for them • Which paradigm? Primitive paradigm of Anthony of the Desert: fuga mundi - desert

  11. Group Five • Trinitate-fraternitate-caritate paradigm • Initiative comes from God: model is Jesus • Community • From community we are sent to mission • Mission is to bring people back to God • God-SDB-Young paradigm • God-SDB: coetera tolle

  12. Group Five • SDB-Young: Da mihi animas • Young-God: youth spirituality • At the heart of this paradigm: pastoral charity (C.10)

  13. Group Six • Did not feel well with the different paradigms • A lot of the traditional paradigm • Also a lot of mixture of the post-modern paradigm • Mission seems to be emphasized • God-centered mentality of older generation vs person-centered mentality of the younger generation

  14. Group Six • Happy about the session today

  15. Impressions • Different paradigm according to different stage of formation: e.g. novitiate – stress on person; other time of formation – stress on mission • Language in integral model: process • God in integral model: experience of God in all • Scrutiny/Rendiconto: reinterpreted more as a joint process
