Postawy związane z ideałem franciszkańskim i poczucie ich zmiany w czasie formacji początkowej

Abstract

In this article various aspects of the Christian vocation are analysed. The author discusses integral formation: a human, Christian and Franciscan formation. His attention was concentrated especially on one perspective of psychological – the dimension of human formation. He refers to theory of L. M. Rulla SJ called theory of the consistency self-transcendence Theocentric of love. He briefly considers the main structures of Ideal Self (the Institutional Ideals and Self-Ideals) and the nature of relationship that can exist between vocational values and attitudes. The author talks about Franciscan values and to their internalisation. He presents the results of owns empirical exploration of Franciscan attitudes and their changes. The author constructed the especial Inventory of the Disposition related to Franciscan ideal. In the researches had taken part 108 brothers from the Order of Friars Minor from Poland (51 after the novitiate, and 57 after the solemn profession). Everybody had the strong feeling of change of the Franciscan Attitudes during of initial formation. Some dispositions were constant and very firm (for example the acceptation of the learning of Catholic Church – 70% persons, the love to nature – 62%, the concern about of peace – 54% and the looking for the God – 53%). Some dispositions were changed (for example the frequency of the reading of the Holy Bible and the internal quiet – both 56% persons). There was some difference between the groups. For example the brothers who had been after the solemn profession more frequently had feeling of confirmation those dispositions, which related to another people and to life in community. However the brothers who have were after the novitiate more frequently were opened to help from another people.
