Modularized Gen 4 Program <\/strong>on \u201cUnion with God and Prayer\u201d <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 year 2022-2023 –<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Introduction:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

To prepare the material, we started by rereading and meditating various themes prepared by Chiara[1]<\/strong><\/em><\/a> on this topic, highlighting those aspects which seemed to us more suitable for the gen 4.\u00a0 For many of these aspects, there are also specific materials prepared by Chiara herself for this age (ideas from her story and from answers that Chiara gave to the gen 4 over the years).<\/p>\n

We have chosen 7 suggested points<\/span><\/strong> in consecutive modules, with a program that is also according to the Indigo formation on the Sacred Scriptures which we would like our Gen 4 to undergo.<\/p>\n

For each module, we have indicated:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A)<\/strong><\/span> some ideas taken from Chiara\u2019s themes for the preparation\u2014meditation for the assistants.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. B)<\/span><\/strong> the objectives<\/strong><\/span> that these ideas suggested to us for the gen 4 meeting.<\/li>\n
  3. C)<\/span><\/strong> some content<\/span> <\/strong>which can be used to help achieve these objectives, \u201cdrops of light\u201d taken from the Sacred Scriptures (Indigo program for the Gen 4) and from the Spirituality (still material for the Gen 4). Specifically, for every part, we indicate which excerpt from Chiara\u2019s story or which of her answers given to the Gen 4 can be used, which episodes in the Sacred Scriptures seem to fit this point. Every episode in the Sacred Scripture which is proposed is also accompanied by illustrated experiences which can be useful material to reinforce the point.<\/li>\n
  4. D)<\/span><\/strong> Finally, through a beautiful collaboration with a team of assistants from all over the world, some ideas for conducting the meeting were also prepared, also to enrich it with songs, games, drawings and various activities.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The type of proposal that we can offer this year, being \u201cmodular\u201d and not already structured as in the previous years, can also be more easily adapted to any situation. We are sure that the sensitivity of each assistant would know how to choose, among these proposals, the elements that are more suitable to the group of gen 4 entrusted to him or her.\u00a0 There are plenty of materials, precisely to provide the possibility of choosing: It is NOT necessary to do all of them!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    As you will then see, also in the choice of Chiara\u2019s themes (to prepare the assistants), talks made for the most varied audiences were sought, in order to have interreligious and ecumenical<\/span> <\/strong>richness in mind as much as possible. We would like to remind you that the ecumenical dimension is very much present in all Indigo programs and in the revisions of the passages from the Sacred Scriptures suited to children, as well as in the contributions of the notes accompanying the text; there were contributions from focolarine and focolarini of various Churches.<\/p>\n

    The general title of the program which we propose for year 2022-2023 is: Today, I discovered Heaven.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
