Dear,
thank you, first, to have also sent to the Diocesan Pastoral Council, this time, your letter.
We have followed your activities last year and I was also present at the first meeting in San Donnino (the second I could not attend). I feel great interesse - come ho anche scritto a suo tempo sull'Osservatore toscano - gli stimoli da voi porti alla riflessione comunitaria, e ritengo doveroso tenerne conto nella continua costruzione di una prassi di feconda e vera partecipazione e comunione ecclesiale; personalmente, ho ritenuto di poter leggere il percorso da voi proposto come un significativo contributo alla preparazione della Prima Assemblea Diocesana sulla Famiglia che si è tenuta il 10 novembre scorso, cui immagino abbiate partecipato, caratterizzata per la prima volta da un rilevante numero di Gruppi di lavoro tematici che hanno dato modo a tutti gli intervenuti di esprimersi sui vari temi, con un lavoro che viene adesso recepito in uno Schema di Proposizioni adottato dal Consiglio Pastorale Diocesano e su cui in the coming months the entire diocesan community of Florence is asked to rule, even to improve it and integrate it.
The establishment of a synodal practices of ecclesial communion is something very difficult. yet due, to be implemented in the "ordinariness", but I think that it can not even eat only opportunities for direct approach, noting, however, in my opinion, more stable and effective, when integrated with this approach, a circular process participatory. We're all together trying to make us witnesses of hope that comes from the Risen also in search of a sincere practice of ecclesial communion, and in this sense, I find it very relevant, and coinciding with what I think among other things - as it's worth - the exhortation to an ever fuller awareness of the responsibility that comes from being part of the Church: this is a threshold of consciousness that he must grow in each of the components of God's people and in this whole.
Consequently, as the Diocesan Pastoral Council in office a long time and would strongly promote a renewed and strengthened awareness of the specific role of the laity also - not least that of the priests, deacons and religious - even to ourselves, towards this goal, as has emerged in our meetings for some years now: that role should be strengthened from their parishes, as you also recognize, though not to assume the inertia and dismantling activities vicarial official act - but here the discussion would be lengthy and involves the responsibility for the note also of the cd "base", besides of a parish priest, returning to the above. Rather, it warns that those who deservedly the responsibility of a personal commitment and community participation in ecclesial seize the opportunities offered in this sense, not to mention the sensitivity plural that dwells in the Church precisely because of being inclusive community in the name of the Gospel.
And, then, at a time like this that "our nobility shall be manifest", a time when we are going to renew organizations throughout the Archdiocese of ecclesial communion, parish pastoral councils, diocesan and Vicarial, and in which all the various diocesan realities are being called upon to speak in terms of the proposal and discussion on the theme of the pastoral family - after the phase of the synod to "see" observation - to contribute, in a perspective that will ultimately be developed in the Community at the diocesan level the growth of our own community through a proposal that is approved and offered to the Cardinal Archbishop during the Second Diocesan Assembly to be held on the Family in October, ahead of his pastoral letter on the family. As you can see, there's nothing here that "falls down", but rather that very part, so to speak, "bottom", is processed from what the Council, the Code of Canon Law and the Statute of CPD wanted as the representative body of all the people of God in our particular church, and back again to involve all ecclesial Florence, placing itself in dialogue with the local community more widely understood, therefore also including the fact extraecclesiali: We believe that both are necessary to carry out a task, our, who though in perfect conditions is just what promozione , oltre che di espressione, di partecipazione, allestendo un percorso nel quale tutte le voci trovino espressione ed ascolto e concorrano, così, alla definizione di un indirizzo pastorale che marchi, nella ricerca determinata di una comunione con l'Arcivescovo, anche uno stile ecclesiale della nostra Chiesa fiorentina, così ricca, vivace e plurale. Varie sono le difficoltà, ma possiamo farcela, e, dunque, se intendiamo la chiamata a testimoniare la Speranza, dobbiamo farcela.
In questo senso, sono convinto, davvero, che il capitolo da voi aperto possa portare un prezioso ed utile contributo al lavoro che viene svolto in tutta l'Arcidiocesi, e questo è, in definitiva, anche il mio augurio ed il mio sostegno, unito alla più piena disponibilità a rapportarmi, nel rispetto dell'autonomia della vostra iniziativa, con il vostro Gruppo.
Con un caro e sentito ringraziamento per ciò che fate,
Leonardo BIANCHI
Direttore CPD
