l-ewwel Ġiżwiti
Il-punt tal-bidu
-
Ilkoll qegħdin ifittxu ħaġa waħda:
-
li joffru lilhom infushom b’mod sħiħ lil Alla
[1] We were in perfect accord in singleness of purpose and intent; namely, to discover the gracious design of God’s will within the scope of our vocation…
…we were anxious to find some course clearly indicated as the path to follow in offering ourselves as a holocaust to God, to whose praise, honour, and glory all our actions might be dedicated
Id-Deliberazzjoni ta’
l-ewwel Ġiżwiti
Dixxeriment Spiritwali → Mezzi Spiritwali
[1] we decided and resolved unanimously to devote ourselves to prayer, the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice and meditation, in a manner even more fervent than usual; and after we had diligently expended all human effort, we would then cast all our cares upon the Lord, trusting in Him who is so good and generous. He imparts His good spirit to everyone who petitions Him in humility and simplicity of heart

l-ewwel Ġiżwiti
Metodu
-
[2] setting before the group questions considered worthy of careful consideration and prolonged inquiry.
-
all day long we reflected and meditated on the subject; prayer was also enlisted as a source of light.
-
At night each person proposed to the group what he considered the better and more expedient course.
-
In this way we hoped that all of us could embrace as the truer judgment the view which was recommended by the force of stronger arguments and enjoyed a majority of votes.
Tliet modi jew “żminijiet”
li fihom tista’ ssir l-għażla
-
L-ewwel żmien: Alla jurina ċar ħafna u bla l-iċken dubju.
-
It-tieni żmien: Żmien ta’ taqlib spiritwali. Esperjenzi ta’ faraġ u djieqa spiritwali
-
It-tielet żmien: Trankwillità interjuri u fil-grupp
L-ewwel Deċiżjoni: il-faraġ sp.
Mistoqsija Ċara b’Risposta Sempliċi
-
“would it be more advantageous for us to be so joined and united into one body that no physical separation of our persons, be it ever so great, could divide our hearts? Or, on the contrary, would such an arrangement be not at all desirable?”
-
Mistoqsija li kulħadd jifhimha bl-istess mod.
-
Tirrikjedi risposta sempliċi - Iva jew Le.
L-ewwel Deċiżjoni: il-faraġ sp.
Il-faraġ li ġej mill-esperjenza
-
Għaxar snin ta’ ħajja flimkien
-
Vot ta’ Montmartre – jikkommettu ruħhom lejn Alla flimkien
-
Frott tal-ħidma tagħhom abbuntanti.
-
Mixja ta’ tkabbir fil-fidi, fit-tama u fl-imħabba.
-
Lesti li jagħmlu affarijiet diffiċli jew umiljanti għall-glorja ta’ Alla
L-ewwel Deċiżjoni: il-faraġ sp.
Il-faraġ li ġej mill-esperjenza (2)
- Il-faraġ fl-individwu:
- Paċi u Ferħ ġenwini li ġejjin mill-qbil bejn il-qalb u l-moħħ.
- Xewqat li twettaq fil-prattika dak li jkun muri lilek. (Ġibda għall-ħwejjeġ “tas-sema”).
- Fil-grupp:
- L-unanimità
- Jieqfu d-dibattiti u l-konflitti (mhux kompromess falz jew impożizzjoni tal-maġġoranza)
- Imma, l-faraġ jista’ ma jkunx ġej minn Alla. ∴ Nitolbu konferma.
It-Tieni Deċiżjoni: id-djieqa sp.
…u kif noħorġu minna
“…would it be expedient for us to pronounce a third vow, namely that of obedience to one of our number, so that we might be able to fulfil the will of the Lord our God in all things with greater integrity and merit and greater glory to God, and at the same time fulfil the wish and directive of His Holiness, to whom we had offered most willingly our entire persons—will, intellect, strength, and so forth?”
It-Tieni Deċiżjoni: id-djieqa sp.
…u kif noħorġu minna
-
Qablu fil-prinċipju, imma issa jridu jsibu l-mezz konkret – il-vot tal-ubbidjenza?
-
“[5] We devoted many days to personal prayer and reflection in seeking a solution to this question, but could find none which set our minds at peace.”
-
Inqas ċertezzi
-
Dubji quddiem territorju inesplorat
X’tagħmel fid-Djieqa?
-
Ma tibdilx deċiżjonijiet meħudin fil-faraġ.
-
Il-kuraġġ li tieqaf (dak li qiegħed tagħmel)
-
Tmur kontra d-djieqa
-
Tfittex mezzi spiritwali ġodda biex tmur kontra l-kawżi tad-djieqa.
Mezzi Spiritwali…
-
Tfittxija tal-libertà interjuri.
-
Mur kontra l-ġibdiet naturali.
-
-
Ir-rispett tal-oħrajn.
-
Nikkommettu ruħna biex nisimgħu ’l-Ispirtu iktar. Dak li jingħad għandu piż differenti.
-
-
Tfittxija tal-oġġettività.
-
“Inġib quddiem għajnejja bniedem, li la qatt rajtu u anqas nafu, imma li nixtieqlu kull perfezzjoni.
Nikkunsidra x’kont ngħidlu jagħmel u jagħżel… Nagħmel l-istess jiena wkoll u nosserva r-regola li nagħti lil ħaddieħor.”
-
Fil-qasir…
-
Fid-dixxerniment inħallu l-faraġ imexxina
u mhux id-djieqa. -
Id-Djalogu ma jibqax jagħti frott… (djieqa)
-
Għax intilfet il-libertà interjuri tal-persuni u fil-grupp.
-
-
Fid-djieqa ma nibdlux deċiżjonijiet imma mmorru kontriha.
-
Infittxu miżuri li jgħinuna nerġgħu niksbu l-libertà interjuri, ir-rispett tal-oħrajn u l-oġġettività.
