„Stili di vita” della famiglia tra lavoro e festa
Brambilla, Franco Giulio (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2013)
The author of the article, Franco Giulio Brambilla, refers to the 6th World Encounter of Families in Milan (28.05-3.06.2012), whose subject was: ‘The family, work, and celebration’. From the very beginning the author stresses that each family has its own lifestyle, often written into the context of social attitudes functioning in its surroundings. He mentions threats to the family connected with work. First of all, professional ambitions of Westerners prolong work and thus contribute to the lessening of family relationships. In poor countries, however, lack of permanent occupation makes the fate of families uncertain and contributes to their material impoverishment. According to the author, such a situation is a challenge to greater solidarity and responsibility. The author concentrates on the way of celebrating Sunday, which in postmodern times lost its festival glare in the West. It is just Sunday time off work, which is to make an opportunity for a family to deepen relationships, and to enable common celebration of the Eucharist. The Eucharist tells us that God, despite our differences, opens up and accepts us all. Therefore the Sunday table differs from the everyday table. Following the pattern of the Lord’s table, it becomes the table of a mutual meeting and opening to everyone, place of deepening mutual relations in the light of Christ.
