Sažetak
Based on the recommendations in Pope Francis' Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium - The Joy of the Gospel (2013.) and the new document of the Congregation for the Clergy The Gift of the Priestly Vocation - Fundamental Norms for Priestly Formation (Ratio fundamentalis institutionis sacerdotalis, 2016.), in a special way, the importance of personal accompaniment in the process of growth in the Christian life, and growth in the vocation of candidates in the process of training for the priesthood has recently been emphasized. Personal accompaniment that helps to discern the vocation, to identify tendencies that can obstruct the process of growth in Christian ideals, in a time of constant changes in mentality and structures and fluctuations of values, becomes the urgent need of postmodern man, as Pope Francis points out in the Apostolic Exhortation Gaudete et exultate - Rejoice and Be Glad (2018.).
This paper focuses on an analysis of the dynamics of accompaniment of candidates in formation and the special role which the formator has in this process of formation. The role of the formator in relational dynamics is viewed from a threefold perspective: theological, psychological and pedagogical, with a special emphasis on the psycho-pedagogical dynamic. This paper also deals with four thematic units that place the figure of the formator at the center of reflection: the biblical reality of accompaniment seen as a prototype of formative pedagogy, the mature and immature intrapsychic and interpersonal dynamics of the formator, analyzing and classifying the necessary abilities and skills for educational work and the psycho-pedagogical dynamics of the relationship between the formator and the candidate.
The article explores how and in what way the formator who accompanies the candidate helps his formation, i.e. when the interventions of the formator are (de)formative. Based on a psycho-pedagogical analysis the article endeavors to contribute to improving the role of the formator in formative institutions. It also aims to stimulate serious thinking in relation to the selection of candidates for such a responsible task.
