Rationale

    

Compartir is based mainly on spirituality of communion coming from the Gospel. This spirituality guides its working style, its structure and how the latter is supported.

Our basiss [1]:

Joint responsibility: When a human heart has converted to the Gospel, it feels naturally responsible for the Community's evangelizing activities. This implies increasing efforts to make more people share in some form of ministry and play a part in the Parish life.

Solidarity:  Love in action not only in words. It becomes a challenge when it means fostering a sense of solidarity among communities. Spirituality of Communion should develop gestures of solidarity among different Communities and among members within the Community, at parish and /or dioceses level.

Evangelical poverty: We are not talking merely about austerity. With this, we mean the spiritual freedom to be generous and open-handed. Assuming the evangelical poverty implies to wisely manage our spiritual and material goods we have been bestowed.

Efficiency: It implies seeking and allocating the adequate resources to meet the objectives. Neither is it enough to wish things happened nor is it doing things on the way. Efficiency means raising the adequate resources, planning realistically and carrying out our plans.

Transparency: Reporting on our accounts ensures reliability. One of the problem concerning Church’s activity support is the lack of knowledge on how the Church manages its funds. Transparency is a vital tool to build up consciousness among Lord's people. 

Exemplary behavior: It is our testimony. How  people liaise with each other and manage Communities' resources is catechetical,  and stronger than any speech.

These six values imply mutually and can be summed up in only one aim:

Shall we give testimony of being faithful to Christ, be one in the Eucharist and in the Communion of Goods.

   

Or as Navega Mar Adentro says: “Communion of people and communities is also achieved through the spirit and practice of sharing in goods, with new participation structures and solidarity".  (Nº 89 )
