Introduction

CONTENT OF THE VDMFa SYMPOSIUM 2017
I. IDENTITY OF VDMFa
The commission of Identity emphasizedthree points of the VDMFa Identity:
1. The centrality of the Word of Godand its dynamism.
2. The relevance of missionaryintentionality.
3. The different stages of belonging tothe VDMFa.Commission of Identity
![Page 18: CONTENT OF THE VDMFa SYMPOSIUM 2017 · CONTENT OF THE VDMFa SYMPOSIUM 2017 To convey what was experienced at the II Symposium of the VDMFa in Medellín 2017, we have used different](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042105/5e843fa3d7d2c168874f6434/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CONTENT OF THE VDMFa SYMPOSIUM 2017
1. The Word of God. Our identity is to be Verbum
Dei, to become the Word of God, to be a missionary
family at the service of the Word, with one same
intentionality: to form apostles of Christ. This
identity of being a VDMFa comes from sharing the
same essence, received by the Word; It is our
relationship with the Trinity. The encounter with
the living Word transforms us personally and opens
us to others. From there, it also transforms social
structures.

IDENTITY OF VDMFa
2. The missionary intentionality of forming apostles, evangelizingcommunities and the “hacer-hacer".
Our purpose is to live and propagate the Kingdom of Godthrough prayer, the ministry of the Word, and a clear testimony of life;Forming apostles of Christ and creating evangelizing communities.The formation of apostles is a community task. It is important to transmit theintentionality of forming apostles to all VDMFa members, since the missionaryintentionality of “hacer-hacer" is intrinsic to our charism. We need tostrengthen this dynamism so that the disciples take over and we can expandfurther.

CONTENT OF THE VDMFa SYMPOSIUM 2017
3. Ways of belongingThe Verbum Dei Missionary Family shares the same identity, spirituality and mission, withdifferent modes of belonging and commitments. We need to work towards a greater senseof belonging where all can find their place in the VDMFa and thus grow in their identity asan apostle of Christ. There is a consensus of the need to grow in our understanding of whobelongs to the VDMFa. One group strongly mentioned was that of the children andjuveniles. The general opinion was in favor to include them as part of the VDMFa.

Some Practical Conclusions about IDENTITY
1. In search of an organization chart (organigrama)
A general contribution in this symposium has been the search for an
organization chart that clarifies the VDMFa structure. We are in that
search and it has not yet been defined. We discussed two possible
organizational charts, which are still in dialogue.
This is the organization chart approved in the
existing VDMFa Statutes, in which the
Verbum Dei Missionary Family is composed
of the VDMF, the LMC and the missionary
disciples/ laity. In addition there is a broader
group that includes other realities with a
minor commitment, which we call Verbum
Dei Family.
![Page 22: CONTENT OF THE VDMFa SYMPOSIUM 2017 · CONTENT OF THE VDMFa SYMPOSIUM 2017 To convey what was experienced at the II Symposium of the VDMFa in Medellín 2017, we have used different](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042105/5e843fa3d7d2c168874f6434/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
CONTENT OF THE VDMFa SYMPOSIUM 2017
During the Symposium, it came up another
suggestion that could simplify and avoid the
confusion between the entire Family and the
VD Missionary Family.
Thus, this organization chart includes within
the Verbum Dei Missionary Family, the
FMVD, the LCM and the VD lay/ disciples,
as well as other wider realities such as
children, adolescents, diocesan priests,
benefactors, etc. The idea in here would be
that all are part of the Verbum Dei
Missionary Family but with different degrees
of belonging and commitment.

2. VERBUM DEI LOGO
Throughout our 54 years of history we have
collected several images that have served as
Logo. We recognize we need a unique logo that
gives us graphic and visual identity. The use of
the logo helps us to have a global recognition of
our Identity. In the plenary there has been a
general consensus on the importance of
promoting our logo. It was requested to put to
electronic availability the original source of the
logo and all the materials that explain the logo.

3. GLOSSARY
To better understand our Identity, it is
necessary to make a glossary that defines
our terminology, safeguarding the different
forms of living our Identity, according to the
different cultures and countries where we
are. The VD General Council will create a
commission for the preparation of this
glossary.

II. MISSION OF THE VDMFa
1. PRAYER
The mission comes from prayer. A new way of praying: a
dialogue through the living Word that gives rise to the
mission. "There is no mission without prayer."
Listen to God in the signs of the times, to understand the
whispers of the Spirit, and thus to respond to the realities
or needs that are presented.
A prayer in which we discover that we are not only called
but also sent by God to accomplish this specific mission.

2. TESTIMONY OF LIFE
The transformation that God makes in our lives is
the best sign of the effectiveness of our mission
and the first evangelization as a living expression
of the Gospel.
This testimony is accompanied by the following
fruits: a genuine joy, a deep and sincere need to
love and to forgive as Jesus, to awaken a new
sensitivity towards the other, to discover a new
identity that marks our way of living and being. As
we live, we discover new talents and abilities we
can put at the service of the mission.

Essential elements of the Mission3. APOSTOLIC ACTIVITY
Our way of evangelizing wants:
To touch the deepest root of the human being, to
transform his/ her life and to provoke a social change
in the world. In this way, we announce and propagate
the Kingdom.
To teach people to talk to God in a direct and familiar
way.
To discover that in Baptism, we are all called to a
mission.
The same missionary intentionality of Jesus to “hacer
hacer", seeking to form apostles who pass it on and
with whom we can share tasks and functions. "We
have formed an apostle when he/ she occupies our
place."
Vayan y prediquen el Evangelio por todo el mundo

4. FORMATION OF COMMUNITIES
The VDMFa wishes to live its dedication to prayerand ministry of the Word in the spirit of the firstChristian community, forming communities ofevangelical and evangelizing life that pray andteach others to pray. Striving to live incommunion is the guarantee and authenticity ofGod’s presence among us. The VDMFa should bemore open to the missionary itinerancy, buildingup an entire family in co-responsibility.

5. SOCIAL IMPACT
Our mission has a great social impactbecause it transforms people, families,society and its structures with the liberatingforce of the word of God. Thistransformation is not perceptible at firstsight since, in a preventive way, we arrive intime to many realities, before they arebroken. Our mission prevents many potentialevils that afflict our present society.We need to take away the "idea" that ourmission is not social, because it actuallytouches the person's heart and transformshim/ her.

CONTENT OF THE VDMFa SYMPOSIUM 2017
Suggestions and feedback1. It is suggested to change the order in the structure of the Statutes, placing the chapterof Mission in the 3rd chapter instead of the 4th, before the chapter of Spirituality. Thus,it’d follow the order of the documents of the VDMF, since the mission is part of Identityand marks the mode of spirituality.
2. To foment the dynamics of “hacer-hacer", forming disciples with capacity to assumeresponsibilities.
3. That the Fraternity is more available and dynamic to go to the places where thedisciples are, making visible the dynamism of the Church on the move.
4. To emphasize the importance of using social networks, observing their effectivenessand without losing the intentionality of our mission. We are aware that the priority is ourpersonal contact.

III. SPIRITUALITY OF THE VDMFa
Spirituality is an intrinsic dimension of the humanbeing, in any condition and state. This leads us tobe attentive to helping each person to discoverthis dimension as an access to the encounter withGod, especially before the signs of the times thatindicate a search for spirituality andcontemplation. We can say that all our VDspirituality is contemplative-missionary, integral,incarnated and liberating. It is not an intimate andindividualistic spirituality. Instead, from oursources of spirituality, this union with God musttransform us into men and women ofcommunion, open to the world.

MEANS OF SPIRITUALITYWe have become aware that the means ofspirituality we have are a gift for all in theVerbum Dei; a gift that extends to theChurch. For this reason, it is necessary tospread them to others, but also to continuepromote it to the Missionary Family, so ourcommunities can be consolidated.

The importance of these means is highlighted. Theycan not be neglected. However, in many places theyare being left aside, they are not giving enoughimportance. However, without them, it is difficult tohave an integrated human and spiritual growth.We also see the need to form the laity of the VDMissionary Family in spiritual accompaniment so thatthey can also accompany the people who come to ourcommunities.

INTEGRATED SPIRITUALITY
It is necessary to have an adequate formationthat provides basic knowledge of psychology.Thus, one is able to identify conflictive traits ordifficult situations in the people weaccompany, and to provide a more accurateguidance both humanly and spiritually.Sometimes it becomes necessary to refer themto psychological counseling. However, whenmembers of the VDMFa are referred toprofessionals of this specialty, they should bepersons of faith who contribute to an adequateorientation.

SPIRITUALITY OF THE VDMFa
LITURGICAL DIMENSION
In the practice of our spiritual living experience
we find a deficiency in our way of celebrating the
liturgies. We need to emphasize the liturgical and
sacramental dimension of our charism as a
privileged means to live, celebrate and show our
missionary identity. It is also a communitarian
experience around the Trinity and Mary. It is
necessary to encourage the Eucharistic
experience and the sacrament of confession in
the members of the VDMFa.

In general in our communities the threegreat formative stages are:
1. Initiation stage
2. Discipleship stage
3. Apostolic stage
• However, there is a lack of clarity in theitineraries of formation
• The same terms are not used in all ourcommunities.
• The most common challenge is usuallyin the third stage.

The formation process of a person should not be conditioned by: The time it takes for
perseverance. The commitments or bonds
taken.
Rather it should be defined according to the person’s inner process, profile, skills, competenciesand objectives.

In the debate on the bonds in the VDMFa, the followingquestions guided our plenary:1. Who are the people who constitute the VDMFa and
wider VD Family?2. When we propose explicit bonds or commitments:
What does it mean? How? Why?3. Could we consider different ways of linking to
VDMFa, different degrees of belonging and differentstages, allowing for a gradual approach in personalprocesses?
4. What happens if we do not meet the minimumrequirements?
5. Do not identify but differentiate process, identity,formation, belonging and bonding?

What is leading people to a commitment inthe VDMFa does not depend exclusively onthe formation, the external activities or thetime that the person carries, rather on thereal commitment of following Jesus in dailylife, on the full experience of the baptismalconsecration, living the Verbum Deispirituality and mission in community.

CONTENT OF THE VDMFa SYMPOSIUM 2017
INCORPORATION
We have concluded that the followingrealities can not be identified:
• Personal process of following Jesus.• Identification in and with the Verbum
Dei charism.• Formative itinerary of the person• Belonging to the Missionary Family.• Implementation of the commitments
or bonds.
These realities are independent and do notmean the same thing. A person may havecompleted a formative stage but it does notmean that he/ she has the Verbum Dei identityor that he/ she is prepared to makecommitments in the VDMFa. On the other hand,some people do not feel the need to formalizetheir membership even though they have a realcommitment to the local Verbum Dei communityand mission. Commitments should not,therefore, be equated with the formative pathor itineraries, although these are essential andgive structure to the missionary disciples.

CONTENT OF THE VDMFa SYMPOSIUM 2017
INCORPORATION
Taking a commitment will always be a free, mature and discerned option that
leads to a membership in the VDMFa, explicitly expressed. Above all, we
consider that it is always necessary to adapt the commitments to each culture
and social reality, as already mentioned in n. 77 of the Family Statutes.

• The minimum requirement is to bewilling to live a commitment to Godthrough the VDMFa, and to doeverything possible to live it out.Rather than a list of things to do orminimum requirements, thecommitments listed in No. 80 of theStatutes, are means and essentialguidelines for human and spiritualgrowth, as well as for one’s identityand effective membership in theVDMFa.
• All this led us to open the possibility ofhaving missionary disciples belonging tothe VDMFa without the need to maketemporary or stable commitments.
