MINISTERIO ORDENADO A LA APOSTÓLICA

Resumen

-- We want to determine the characteristics of ordained ministry in orders and congregations of apostolic lije. The method we use is to present three paradigmatic experiences and then to draw conclusions from them. We will refer to cases of Dominic of Guzman, Francis of Assisi and Ignatius of Loyola. None of them is restricted to the daily care of an established community but to the
charismatic responses to the signs of the times. They wanted to make a new way, as a gospel, as Jesus did in his time. They wanted to do itas a salvation from many evils andas a personal and collective plenification. It requires a material, vital, cultural and even physical removal, walking on the horders, answering to the most pressing challenges. In community and from it. In a fraternal dialogue with his contemporaries. It is a vocation of universality. We conclude by presenting the contemporary relevance of this option.
