“Għinu lil kulħadd jesprimu ruħu bl-aktar mod liberu” – hekk qalet Maria Voce, il-President tal-Moviment tal-Fokolari, lill-membri tal-Kummissjoni li ġiet imwaqqfa biex tieħu ħsieb it-tħejjija għall-Assemblea Ġenerali tal-Moviment li ser issir f’Settembru 2020.
Din il-Kummissjoni trid thejji kemm il-parti organizzattiva tal-Assemblea kif ukoll il-kontenut tagħha, u hemm fiha 18-il membru ġejjien mill-ħames kontinenti li jirrappreżentaw il-Moviment tal-Fokolari bil-vokazzjonijiet, il-friegħi u l-espressjonijiet differenti li jħaddan fih.
L-ewwel laqgħa ta’ din il-kummissjoni saret f’Castel Gandolfo, Ruma, bejn l-24 u s-26 ta’ Mejju u l-Ħadd 26 ta’ Mejju ltaqgħet mal-Kunsill Ġenerali tal-Moviment. F’din il-laqgħa Jesús Morán, il-kopresident tal-Moviment, saħaq fuq “l-importanza partikulari” tal-Assemblea 2020, minħabba l-fatt li Maria Voce ma tistax tkun eletta president għat-tielet darba; u kif qal hu stess din il-bidla ser iġġib magħha pass importanti għall-Moviment kollu, li “nixtiequ niżguraw ruħna li jsir bl-aktar mod liberu”.
Meta Maria Voce ġiet mistoqsija jekk għandhiex xi temi li tixtieq tissuġġerixxi għal din l-Assemblea, hi wieġbet: “La għandi u lanqas nixtieq li jkolli għax ma rridx nikkundizzjona l-esiġenzi li l-Moviment għandu bħalissa”.
Fix-xhur li ġejjien il-Kummissjoni trid tibda proċess li permezz tiegħu tiġbor materjal mid-dinja kollha dwar it-temi l-aktar importanti li l-Moviment irid jiffaċċa fis-snin li ġejjien u li l-Assemblea trid tesprimi ruħha dwarhom; trid tindividwa persuni adatti u lesti li jkunu kandidati għall-ħatriet ta’ President, Ko-President u kunsilliera; tħejji u tipproponi programm għall-Assemblea, u jrid jirnexxilha tesprimi kemm jista’ jkun ir-realtajiet tal-Moviment fid-diversi espressjonijiet kulturali tiegħu.[:en]
The indications that Focolare President Maria Voce gave to the Commission entrusted with the preparation for the coming Focolare Movement General Assembly were brief and clear: “I expect that during the preparatory process for the next General Assembly this commission will help all members of the Movement to express themselves freely, and that a synthesis of all the material received will be compiled so that no one feels excluded. This process is to be carried out without any pre-established interests”.
This commission had its first meeting at Castel Gandolfo, Rome, during the weekend of 24-26 May. While preparing for the General Assembly scheduled to take place in September 2020, the commission is expected to see to the organization and to the subject-matter that will be dealt with during the Assembly. Its 18 members, who represent the Movement’s geographical areas and different branches and expressions, come from the five continents and live their call to the Movement in various forms and vocations.
“The 2020 Assembly will be of particular importance,” emphasized Co-President Jesús Morán during a meeting that the Commission had with the Movement’s General Council on Sunday, May 26. After two terms of six years each, the current President Maria Voce can no longer be re-elected. A change – according to Jesús Morán – that will involve an important step further for the whole Movement. “Certainly, some crucial issues will come up for discussion,” he said. “We would like to make sure that this takes place in full freedom”.
In order to guarantee this freedom, Maria Voce did not want to give any indication about the subject-matter that the 2020 Assembly will have to deal with. When asked if, on the basis of her sensitivity for the whole Movement, she has any themes to suggest, she replied: “I don’t have any and I don’t want to have any, because I would not like to impose any condition on the Movement’s present requirements”.
During the coming months, the preparatory commission will have to see to various matters. It has to start a process through which it can collect the most important issues that the Movement will have to address in the coming years and on which the Assembly needs to express itself. It needs to identify people who are suitable and willing to be candidates for the roles of President, Co-President and Councillors. It has to prepare and propose a balanced program that will enable the Assembly to work seriously and responsibly. It needs to express as much as possible all the realities of the Focolare Movement, in its most diverse cultural expressions.
