Social Doctrine of the Church in the light of the processes of social transformation and the emerging declinations of charity

MSC Ongoing Formation Commission

The formation course offers a re-reading of some principles of the Social Doctrine of the Church in the light of the processes of social transformation and the emerging declinations of charity within the synodal church. The three verbs – to learn, to include, to take care – are privileged keys to understanding the changes taking place in the realities in which the works and actions of charity unfold, that is, the home, the church, the city. In a particular way, caring for the family, the domestic church, means valuing the caring relationships that bind people together with social institutions. Works and actions of charity have a political and instituting value that is also exercised in the relationship between charity and the synodal church, between “being social” and being synodal.

A SYNODAL CHURCH IN MISSION – Synthesis Report 

MSC Ongoing Formation Commission

“For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body” (1 Cor 12:13). This is the experience, full of joy and gratitude, that we have had in this First Session of the Synodal Assembly held from 4 to 29 October 2023 on the theme “For a Synodal Church. Communion, Participation, Mission”. Despite our diversity of backgrounds, languages and cultures, through the common grace of Baptism we have been able to live these days together with one heart and spirit. We have sought to sing like a choir, many voices as though expressing one soul.  The Holy Spirit has gifted us with an experience of the harmony that He alone can generate; it is a gift and a witness in a world that is torn and divided.

¿Qué significa para el P. Chevalier “Corazón de Jesús”? ¿Qué quería expresar cuando hablaba de él? Para entender estas preguntas y darles una respuesta ade- cuada es necesario tener en cuenta la situación político-religiosa de Francia en el s. XIX y comienzos del s. XX, cuando vivió el P. Chevalier. La forma cómo comprendió los “signos de su tiempo”, nos llevan a entender su espiritualidad y la forma cómo quiso transmitirla a las Congregaciones por él fundadas.

Sobre Julio Chevalier

MSC Ongoing Formation Commission

Es ésta una pregunta que algunas personas nos hacen cuando nos llegan a conocer. Ciertamente, el fundador de los Misioneros del Sagrado Corazón no es santo en el sentido de que esté canonizado. Se están llevando con paciencia los trámites para que un día sea oficialmente reconocido como tal. Pero, por ahora, nos tenemos que contentar con creer que “santo” es todo persona que vive unida a Cristo, en “gracia de Dios” decían nuestros mayores, esté viva entre nosotros en el tiempo o muerta que es estar viva en la eternidad. San Pablo, en alguna de sus cartas, llama “santos” a los que siguen a Cristo viviendo unidos a Él: “Saludad… a todos los santos que están con ellos” (Rom 16,15). “Os saludan todos los santos, especialmente los de la casa del César” (Flp 4,21-22. Cfr. 1Co 16,15; 2Co 13,12).
