Teoria do Perdão e Reconciliação
ELEMENTOS BÁSICOS DA TEORIA DO PERDÃO E DA RECONCILIAÇÃO
Por Pe. Leonel Narváez Gómez, imc
10 de Abril de 2006
PRÓLOGO
A Fundação para a Reconciliação desenvolve seus projetos de intervenção social e investigação na Colômbia, contribuindo assim com os esforços que cidadãos e cidadãs realizam para o advento da paz no mundo. Hoje a Colômbia partilha com a República irmã do Brasil planos metodológicos e linhas de investigação, e avança-se na organização de uma rede latino-americana de informação e cooperação no campo do Perdão e da Reconciliação interpessoal, comunitário e social.
Em Bogotá (Colômbia), populariza-se uma experiência de Perdão e Reconciliação interpessoal denominada ESPERE (Escolas de Perdão e Reconciliação), como uma contribuição importante em favor da construção da Paz na Colômbia. A violência social e a violência armada semearam raivas e rancores na vida dos colombianos, rancores que devem ser compreendidos e tratados pelos diferentes conhecimentos que procuram imaginar mundos possíveis de amizade e solidariedade, de justiça e paz, mundos em que a vida cotidiana possa ser vivida sem duelos.
A novidade da Fundação para a Reconciliação consiste na introdução de um método de trabalho referente ao Perdão e à Reconciliação interpessoal, que reforça poderosamente os planos de mediação, arbitragem e conciliação, trabalhando de forma direta ódios, rancores e desejos de vingança que, quando não tratados, chegam a converter-se em sementes de novos e mais graves conflitos.
Speaking Our Minds...
4th Sunday Ord. Time - Year B.
Speaking Our Minds...
Most people do not hesitate to
speak their minds when the occasion calls for it. Parents, for instance unhesitatingly
correct their children. Husbands and wives peak out whenever the welfare of the
other is concerned. Friends do the same. Of course it is easy, and still, much
good can come from doing so, to speak our minds. We take such daily
"speaking out" in stride. However,
this is not the case when it comes to speaking out in God's name; we almost
forget our prophetic calling which we received during baptism. This Sunday's
readings remind us of this solemn heritage. How do you feel about
"speaking your mind"? As a prophet, what makes you exercise your
heritage?

Thought of the Day...
“There are five balls we juggle in life: family, friends, health, work and spiritual life. Remember, of these five, only work is made of rubber. The rest are made of glass. Don’t drop any of them. They are fragile. Handle with care.”

CHRISTIAN MORALITY AND CONSCIENCE.
Introduction.
Gal. 3, 10-11: For all who
rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is
everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the
Law.” Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because
“the righteous will live by faith.”
2. Who is a Christian?
3. What is moral and morality?
4. What is conscience?
5. What is the foundation of
morality and conscience? etc...
To talk of Christian morality and
conscience should be clear from the beginning that we are investigating or
talking of a theme in Christian perspective. We take for granted a world where
someone other than ourselves knows the final word, who in revealing his own
intimate secrets makes us known to ourselves. This Divine revelation by no
means dispenses us from personal reflection and quest. However we would not
assume the terms involved. Definition of them helps us to understand better the
matter: Christian, morality, and conscience:
