TRAINING FOR INCORPORATION INTO THE MOVEMENT
“Come and see…”
(John 1:39)
What does it involve?
The training for incorporation into the Movement is aimed at individuals or groups who have shown interest in getting to know the Claretian lay charism better and are considering it as a vocational option.
To aid in this vocational discernment, a process of discernment is proposed, during which participants can experience the Movement from within – actively participating in its dynamics – while receiving additional basic formation on the charism and its communal dimension, guided by a companion. At the end of the process, once the interested lay person or group has had an initial and close experience that has allowed them to discover the charism, they can freely and consciously make a decision regarding their vocational response and, if desired, request definitive entry into the Movement.
How is it organised?
The discernment journey will be personalized and adapted to the profile and circumstances of the lay person or group undertaking it. Its duration will be approximately one year, although this period may vary depending on the work rhythms. In any case, the fulfillment of these three established goals, which constitute the minimum formation, will always be ensured.
GOAL 1
To understand the foundations of the Claretian lay charism (Ideario) in order to discern the degree of identification with it.
GOAL 2
To discover the characteristics of life in a lay community in order to discern one’s willingness to share life and faith with others.
GOAL 3
To understand the functioning and organization of the Movement (Statutes) in order to discern one’s willingness to assume its organizational structure.
