I giovani, la fede e il discernimento vocazionale
Relazioni dei Circoli minori sulla prima parte dell’“Instrumentum laboris”
Questa mattina, nel corso della 5 a Congregazione generale della XV Assemblea Generale Ordinaria del Sinodo dei Vescovi sui giovani, sono state presentate in Aula le Relazioni dei 14 Circoli minori che nei giorni scorsi si sono riuniti per riflettere sulla prima parte dell’Instrumentum Laboris, alla luce dei contributi emersi nel corso del dibattito svolto nelle precedenti Congregazioni generali. Pubblichiamo di seguito i testi delle Relazioni dei 14 Circoli minori:
Relatio – Circulus Anglicus A
In beginning our work, our Group reflected on the mood and tone of Part One especially in light of Paragraph 3. This Paragraph explains that “in this first step, we should focus on grasping concrete realities: social sciences provide an essential contribution . Relationship is clearly the key to encounter with youth. We have offered a “modus” to Paragraph 3 which suggests deepening the process of “recognizing; Interpreting; choosing” to include, as Evangelium Gaudium puts it: “not only recognizing and discerning spirits, but also – and this is decisive – choosing movements of the spirit of good and rejecting those of the spirit of evil” (EG 51). Our Group recommends that quotations from young people in the Aula and at the Pre-Synod would help to bring any final synod document to life, as well as providing examples of thriving “peer to peer”youth movements in various parts of the world.
We considered that the various sections on the digital world might be brought together to allow a more thorough reflection on this topic, including its potential for mission and new evangelization. We suggested that such a reflection might include a treatment of the compulsive attraction of ‘screen culture’ including cinema, mini-series and video gaming.
