Editor's Notes
- Pastoral means going out – going toward Invite the young to our mission: here you can express your faith through movies, photos, television, movies, etc. Communication is a social process and a medium – not a process in itself. Compare the consumer approach to marketing/diffusion. Postmodernism realizes that the more you consume the more you need to consume. There is a tendency to “live for today,” rely on personal experiences and individualism. There is a tension between God and consumerism. From 1900 to 2000 we lived capitalism and socialism – the producer and the consumer. By 2001 the new technology brings a consumerism of ideas. Today there is not a passive consumer of products. It wasn’t what Jesus was teaching as much has how he was teaching: incarnation.
- “A good part of today’s world suffers from a shortage of bread. There is a far greater shortage of the spiritual bread brought by Jesus. ‘I am the Bread of Life,’ he said. Countless people live complexly unaware of their destiny. They have no other thought than the present. Yet in a short time, death brings them to eternity. There are few to prepare them with this bread. “There is no one to break it for them.” They die of hunger without truly understanding their hunger. Jesus is Bread/Truth. …meet the suffering, needs, material poverty, and above all the spiritual poverty of so many of our contemporaries.” Pope Benedict XVI 2008
- The answer to this dilemma is to be found within the parameters of the mission to which Paulines have pledged their lives. The liberation of the victims of oppression and injustice must include liberation also from the subtle manipulations media are used to exert upon the very hearts and minds of people. The distortions of truth, the creation of false needs, the deceptive lure of materialistic goals as the ultimate meaning of life and human fulfillment can be fertile ground for oppression and enslavement as much as the more obvious forms of injustice. Paulines are committed to address this issue by raising the consciousness of people to the need for a critical stance against the camouflaged attacks upon their human integrity waged through the media.
- …cannot be considered accomplished when it has provided for the diffusion of the Word of God; that is only one the moments of the mission; the moment of TRUTH which is concerned with enlightening the mind. It must be followed by the moment of WAY which is concerned with change and conversion to God. The process must then conclude with the moment of LIFE, that is, participation of the faithful in the divine life expressed in the sacraments. Carissimi, 106
