Description
Summary:For the purposes of a profile, even if approximate, of the Franciscan ministry, there are two essential moments, both of which linked to voluntarism. The first concerns the theoretical justification of the doctrinal scenario, which is unfolding with Christian truths. This justification takes place through the primacy of the conceivable over the present, resulting from the conception of the creative will as the supreme face of God. The primacy belongs to the will, not to reason. The second concerns the abandonment to the same creative will of God, following the awareness of the inadequacy of our forces for the purposes of a style of thought and of a conduct of life inspired by the total self-giving to the other - it is the core of the Franciscan message. This implies a double operation: the [de]absolutism of the ego in favour of the other, which has the primacy, and the transformation of the image of God from a motionless engine, with its many variants, to lord of the impossible. Therefore, the roots of this pastoral perspective, articulated in the acceptance of phenomena, even if not in line with the existing logic and in total trust in God as the one to whom we entrust our pastoral dreams, are to be placed in the primacy of the will: free and creative. Hence the two fundamental conclusions of Scotist voluntarism, a theoretical one - the transition from the primacy of the present to the primacy of the possible; and an existential one - the transformation of the impossible into possible by living in the company of God, lord of the impossible.
