Paszkowska, Teresa2018-06-262018-06-262015Ephemerides Marianorum, 2015, nr 4, s. 419-435.2299-7784http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12153/302This work, which looks critically on the logic and language of the Ratio formationis marianorum, presents in a slightly arbitrary vein the matter of communal life. The issue is based on the logic of three elements: perseverance in lived personal intimacy with Christ; incorporation into a fraternal community that has its own daily rhythm and style; and the spirituality of communio marianorum — a mystical element, which, being a gift of the Spirit, ensures unity (mystical and functional). The author suggests that the technical part of a candidate's preparation outstrips theology of vocational formation of the candidate to religious and apostolic life, which he substantiates by a different dogmatically and historically rooted logic found in the Constitutions of the Marian Fathers and Blessed George Matulaitis-Matulewicz's writings concerning the matters of the  Congregation. The modern mentality of the Marians seems to favor the psychological/sociological approach; in other words, the Congregation technically defines the course of the formation process on the base of externally measurable criteria.plUznanie autorstwa-Użycie niekomercyjne-Bez utworów zależnych 3.0 Polskahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/Zgromadzenie Księży Marianówformacja zakonnawychowanieżycie wspólneduchowość zakonnaCongregation of Marian Fathersreligious formationeducationcommunal lifereligious spiritualityinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article
