REFLECTION

1. The return of light or sound waves from a surface.
2. The reverting of the mind to that which has already occupied it. Contemplation, calm, lengthy, intent consideration.

Reflections on the diocese and the Church after Munilla

02/05/2022/in Reflections /by José Arregi

Bishop José Ignacio Munilla presided over the diocese of Donostia-San Sebastián from 2010 to 2022. The following is a response to the questionnaire proposed by the editor of RELIGIÓN DIGITAL, but is intended more as an in-depth reflection on the situation of the Catholic Church in general: 1) What has Monsignor Munilla left behind? After […]

What God, what Jesus, what Christianity?

15/04/2022/in Reflections /by José Arregi

Text of my intervention at the (telematic) I International Congress “Beyond Religions”, organised by GABRIELLI EDITORI in collaboration with ADISTA (April 2, 2022). I propose 10 points for reflection that I consider fundamental in these times of transition towards a non-theistic, post-theistic or transtheistic philosophy, theology and spirituality. This last term, “transtheistic”, is the one […]

Harmony

27/03/2022/in Reflections /by José Arregi

Harmony comes from the Greek word harmodso, to join. There is harmony wherever there is equilibrium, proportion, conjunction of different elements, as it occurs in a proportionate building, well combined with itself and the environment. Or in music, a harmonic made of different but coordinated sounds. Dawn, greeted by a concert of blackbirds, thrushes, robins, […]

Stop the invasion, promote politics

14/03/2022/in Reflections /by José Arregi

Brutality, atrocity, inhumanity, barbarism… entire dictionaries would not suffice to describe what we, powerless, stunned and anguished, are seeing these days on the plains and in the cities across Ukraine, in the heart of civilised Europe. How on earth did we manage –yes, in the first person plural– to reach this point in the 2020s […]

The truth will set us free

25/02/2022/in Reflections /by José Arregi

I am talking about the sexual abuse of minors that occurred within Catholic institutions in Spain. They are not 4 or 33 cases in the Basque Country, or 58 in Navarre, or 1246 cases in the Spanish State. They are very many more, a lot more, as it will be clear once they are known. […]

To Pello Zabala, my travelling companion

17/02/2022/in Reflections, Witnesses to Light /by José Arregi

My dear Pello, I am dedicating this brief, humble, heartfelt tribute to you. In a way it is a futile attempt, because there are so many who have already praised your gifts and achievements better than I am capable of doing; so I congratulate everyone. I gladly endorse all the praise. So, I will be […]

The end of religious orders and the future of their properties

02/02/2022/in Reflections /by José Arregi

Franciscans and poor clares, benedictines, mercedarians, Jesus’ companions inspired by Ignatius of Loyola, carmelite men and women, passionists, Marists…. an endless list. They were instituted to relieve, accompany, educate, heal, and care for those who are alone or have nothing. Or to devote themselves to “contemplative life”, “working and praying”, deeply living in profound communion […]

Foreword

25/01/2022/in Books, Prefaces, Reflections /by José Arregi

The pages I am presenting to you, dear reader, are much more than just a series of pertinent, well-documented, up-to-date reflections on spirituality. They are the reflective testimony of a lifetime. They are true words of witness. They exude the breath of life. Félix Placer, a free, dedicated man who at the age of 84 […]

Shepherds in Bethlehem on their way to peace

10/01/2022/in Reflections /by José Arregi

At the end of the Christmas festivities, I return to the narrative in Luke’s gospel about the shepherds in the fields of Bethlehem, shepherds that look for, find, and build peace. We see ourselves in them. And to better see ourselves in them, let’s say it again in case it is still necessary: all the […]

From Webb to Bethlehem and vice versa

30/12/2021/in Reflections /by José Arregi

Today, Christmas Day, will see the launching into space of a giant telescope that could see the birth of light in our universe. The birth of light! James Webb is its name and in a month’s time it will reach its operational position behind the moon, one and a half million kilometres from Earth, four […]

I’m glad that chance – it is a way to say we ignore why- has wanted our paths to meet here, and now. In fact, we have been walking together since always.

Together we seek light between shadows; together we conceive a fairer and happier humanity in agreement with all living beings.

Thanks!

If you want to accompany me, it will be a pleasure.

I wish you Peace and Well.
