The school community is catechesis - text, personal meditation, community meetings - the movement Communion and Liberation.
For the next two years, the reference text is: Luigi Giussani, you can live like that? - A strange approach to Christian existence, Ed Rizzoli, Milano, 2007
To explain, what does the school community, here are the notes from two conversations with Luigi Giussani
School and method
Notes from conversations with two
Luigi Giussani. 1993 and 1997
School of Community and the presence
Synthesis of a gathering of leaders of Cle with Don Giussani. 1993
1. The school community is to develop an experience that begins before the school community, an event that is always before the school community comes before the first page and prior to any page and before any sentence of any page.
Is there anything that comes before the school community: if you live this something that comes first, if you're in, if you are engaged, if you're immersed in it, then the School of Community and vibrates in speaking, talk to the other one living experience, talk to a life otherwise use words, some boys wearing only your own words.
2. The problem, not yet sufficiently clear, is the need to sink the roots of all our move into a consciousness of belonging to a totally new reality.
If we tried to find the foundation of our actions and policies outside the energy consecrated by the presence of Christ and his Church, lately become like leaves shaken by the wind, then the instability, resentment and powerlessness qualify our last act.
observation for a Christian is all-encompassing. One can not therefore speak of man's education or the creation of stable instrument for education (school) without the foundation from which to draw the criteria, the development perspective and the place from which we hope the energy to implement them, is nothing but the Church of God, as she lives - by the grace of the Spirit - in us and around us in the company to which the Lord has given us, as he said with a beautiful line Cardinal Ratzinger commented on the letter of St. Paul to the Romans (Rom 6).
"The Fellowship of the Lord has given us." The basis for departure, the source of the criteria, then the force and the criteria it developed, the same construction method must start from here. The formal principle, the shape of the basis of the criteria should come from the consciousness of this reality, the reality of Christ, as we tap into the company to which we delivered. It is a principle to keep in mind when we speak of culture in any way, construction of society and education of man, is a starting point of no return and misunderstandings.
3. The rule to deepen the event that has affected so persuasive is the monitor. Follow it means to commit their personality with what we met. There are many ways to live the life of Christ, the Church's history is one example. The meeting with a different reality, most imposing persuasive and more full of promise is a special help that was given to us to love and to witness what happened in the world: God became man.
How can you live what happened? Following what has been met, with one's whole self, with all the personality, intelligence, affection Energy decisive of their liberty. This is not to confuse the already fragile our stamina, not to confuse it further by going back to many teachers. Only by following the teacher who the Lord has brought together the obedience can expand as historical fact. Otherwise there would not be in the Church's wealth, he would die the singularity of our face. You must not confuse our fragile choosing the teachers, as Saint Paul says in his Letter to the Thessalonians: "we choose the teachers after the itching of the ear or the pleasure that we do." This is where we came across something objective.
4. Fundamental Factors experience
a) The method of testimony.
The method of the testimony is the presence in the life as a human again, the question arises which arouses the curiosity to see two or twenty-five living in a different way.
In the presence within the environment, the greatest help comes from the use of the school community. But how do you make school community without asking God? Without a prayer? How do you make school community without trying to understand? Without beginning to understand the correspondence with our personal experience? How do you make school community without experiencing the internal logic of the text? And how do you make school community without being willing to say to your partner: you come too!
Therefore, prayer, understanding and affection until it gets to touch the heart and the passion of communication are integral parts of a school community. It is not school community if they lack these factors.
b) Verification.
Verification is a word that should not be used in vain because it is full of weight, "heavy" as is "heavy" the reason it is the yardstick against which the reason for walking into his confidence, he makes his way. Verification is a job, is the comparison of the proposal with the needs of the constitutive heart.
How does this compare?
is a subject that generates a report that it generates, then, a new phenomenon as the child feels caught in and from which the boy feels invested. This is why the first response factor is that what you propose is life for you, is that you are responsible for what you say, aware of why you say it, you make it clear that the truth is adequatio intellectus rei, which means that true is what corresponds to the basic needs of the heart and consciousness of self.
You must have experience of this, you should try to experience this and ask the Spirit for the ability to communicate it to the boys because there is a disproportion between what you feel, what you see and that they adhere to and mystery of freedom and the soul of the boy. There is a disproportion between you and this mystery that makes you trembling, that makes you feel your disability. So you must pray. If you do this, then the answer appears to suggest that experience, as God wants, according to the availability of freedom of the student and the second to the mental capacity of the pupil.
you propose something like a clear expression of your content for life and ask the child to reflect, to think, to compare well with what you say and see if it matches with what is intended in his heart. It is he who must feel this is adequate, this correspondence of the proposal to life, must feel it, ie recognize him. To make him acknowledge it is very important to suggest that the comparison even with the opposite side, that is, out of this proposal as it may solve the impulses of his heart? In this his nature as can not answer? Must be the guy to feel that out of this proposal is just ashes, just nothing. It must be him to understand that out there is not answered, but the attempt to exploit it, to possess, use, emotionally and politically.
Accountability is the answer that gives the boy. In a dialectic relationship, a continual request to clarify the meaning of the proposal and the reasons are important in helping the responsibility to be conscious.
This movement is essential in the relationship because the guy could say yes, say no, without guilt or remain in doubt.
Therefore it is said that the warmth and clarity of the proposal to reach a positive response. We have always called education "educational risk" because it is the comparison with a freedom that must move to the right and move the emotions.
c) An educational company.
There are many companies, do not say: "choose" but adhere to the company in which Christ has made, that Christ has brought together, to that first hit you with persuasiveness.
A presence that moves
Factors constituent of the School of Community
Clipboard synthetic from a conversation with Don Giussani. 1997
The beginning of the experience is an encounter with a different human reality. A school community that would eschews ideology or abstraction. In
school community should certainly speak of life, but in the light of new encounters. Otherwise, we speak of life as you think, you hear, as it does react in natural terms, however, according to a different criterion from membership.
The school community is the main instrument of new life, the new way of pursuing the goals of the new. About
Driving
all depends on who leads the school community. If the person driving is a presence, then the intelligence and affectivity are moved in a different way. The new guide. If, however, is a lesson, not a presence, not moving. At best moves a dialectic, a debate, a succession of thoughts. And the next day, getting up in the morning, all thoughts of that motion has nothing to do more with their existence.
A. The symptom that the school is that a community is driven out differently than he came.
B. School of Community Development has to be a fact of the meeting: she is continually resumed and exceeded the lifetime of the movement.
C. Without existential (relation between words and reality) you can not do school community: only in this way is an expression of an experience. If not lead to the identification of at least something to change and, therefore, the desire to make this change happen, it may be a school community.
How do school communities? How
prayer. Since the school community needs to summarize the phenomenon of the movement in its development, let us remember that there is no search for truth about the destiny, about God, without prayer. Pray, then, at the beginning of the meeting.
should also pray at the rally as a way of mind in those who question and who answers to their position of humility, happy and sure of what it brings.
Prayer becomes discovery of the necessity of the sacrament, in which the initial event again becomes presence.
How is school community?
First is a school, a place and a method where you learn. Learn
means increasing the awareness of reality.
Learning involves understanding the text in its meaning, that is in its relationship with reality and the reasons leading to this understanding of its link with reality.
is inevitable to understand that to be repeated (= strive to compete in): Increase attention. Repeat with attention is to see.
When you understand? To the extent that they are experiencing the correspondence of words that are read and feel that you live with that.
So real, in so far as pull is done, it becomes the consciousness of epiphany. Four points
work
I) Reading intelligent, attentive to how the relationship with things, that gives rise to the judgments, the reasons he gives.
II) Communication of experience (everyone can join), in comparison with the text.
III) A culture that develops. The source of the rationale and criteria must come from the nature of experience and should not come from outside. It is even more brilliant as it gets in the occurrence we have learned, the more one follows.
IV) A summary of the driver: example of the development of informed experience that the driver did during the event in the school community. The common outcome
by a school community as conceived and experienced affective communication created a surge that has three flexions:
a) witness and mission;
b) attention to the needs, organic texture to the charity works;
c ) Culture: the rush of emotional communication inspires imagination, ways of view, logical discoveries, with all the necessary tools that arise.
