The logo (français) (Español)

THE LOGO

By François JACQUES, priest

The logo of the organization Dominican Experience does justice by the image, the dynamic behind it in his vision of reality, in the proposed activities as in that it raises among those who use it. From the first glance, there is a liberation movement alive, from the book, which attracts and holds attention. It seems that while symbols expresses the sentence of Jesus by John the Evangelist: "The truth will make you free" (Jn 8, 32)

 1. At the heart of the logo, the book appears as the integrated education of the truth.

1.1 It is the first textbook that represents knowledge in the heart of the secondary routes, especially with the international program, and other routes which are listed in most par-ticipants (college, university, technical) as that the sponsoring university promoted and supported by the agency to promote the universal diffusion of knowledge.

Book, one can see the space between the lid open and introduction of all pages (white), there is room for anything other than knowledge. Indeed, when one enters the field of knowledge, we can not do it "virgin" or "empty as a jug," but with the sum of life experiences that we have built so far as people. Studying the humanities, natural sciences and art without taking into account the experience in itself and without handicaps develop personal development.

1.2 The organization encourages the encounter of various people in their individuality, marked by their own culture, their history and faith emphasizing the north-south axis of the planet. The learning of know-how and a knowing how to live with can find a place. The variety of colors of the book in using the logo from one country to another where the organization operates is evident that the differences in the universality behind the efforts of the globalization of solidarity in which the body .

1.3 The book is also the Word of God by which the Holy Trinity is revealed to all mankind as a whole you everyone. The spiritual experience of Israel in the First Alliance is contained in the channel chosen by God to prepare the coming of the Word of Life in our midst, ie to the Word of God made flesh in Jesus.

Jesus Christ, well know about God and the wisdom that has the heart, we introduced by the Holy Spirit, in his own experience of the beloved Son of the Father through the counting of the cross to reach the exaltation of the Resurrection.

Landing as daughter and son of the Father in Jesus and being entirely through this experience opens a meeting of communion with oneself, with others in their difference and with God-Trinity, source of life and truth. Thus we learn the skills.

By integrating these three dimensions of the book, knowledge, experience and knowledge, SKILLS / KNOWLEDGE WITH LIVE International and skills in Jesus Christ, we are led to a level of communication and a state of communion with reality in its whole, with the human environment and the natural environment, with oneself and with God. Ultimately, members and participants are of the body are called to let them grow up the whole truth until the truth of being.

 2. This appears that the new person, man or woman who sets off in life. Nourished by the knowledge built by a know-how and know-how with know inhabited by a being, the person is fully equipped and standing for change in life, be sensitive to the needs of others, confront all obstacles, have a effect, and hope to create around it.
 3. However, a future based on a leadership role individually and with others is true that if a fight against anything that restricts their lives. The truth, good and well can really shine if receding ignorance, isolation and other forms of evil. Is not that what are the three spears? Two forms of action are essential, complementary and inter-related in advancing the ideals of the woman and the new man: the fight against every form of injustice, the denunciation of any situation, or misleading half-real and personal renunciation of evil, ambiguity and half-measures, on the one hand, support for constructive projects, the speech that turns dreams into projects and the personal commitment of the other. There is no choice for the human who can take if it is accompanied by renouncing all that is contrary to the growth of humans. Meet the positive-negative poles is dynamic.
 4. A laurel wreath around the logo represents the victory of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, of solidarity and international isolation, and Life of the Risen on the forces of death and evil.

The circle of the crown shows our planet in its current globalization and the opening at the top right shows the space available for the bursting of the "without borders" of the human through the home Divine who alone makes it possible that man and woman called to greater than themselves is beyond beyond Earth.

 5. The momentum impregnated in the person shows that growth in knowledge, know-how and life skills with and knowledge-being, provide wings to everyone who let soak in terms of confidence self-esteem, creativity, building networks, on the potential natural and human environment. Everything is unlimited.

The Risen did stop or slow left by any wall, or border disability whatsoever. It is a total winner. "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, you know the truth and the truth will make you free men (...) if that is the son makes you free, you will be really free men. "(NRSV, Jn 8, 31-32.36)

 6. Although discreet, the cross is the basis of the logo and is the basis for each element. The crown of laurels to roots, the foot of the person finds his launching pad, the book’s fulcrum base their spears.

The cross is made of suffering and renunciation of self. The real fight against evil, isolation and ignorance knows no other summit commitment. Indeed, France is suffering road of mobilizing the whole being and force reflection on the essential values which turns Optional background. Here plays the human destiny: either he is turning in on itself, or there’s renunciation of self. Unable to change the world if we do not give change oneself is crucifying.

Opening up another in his person and culture to share command his bread, to welcome his manners, to learn its values, in short, to be transformed into depth ... but that this at the expense of what we are. "Whoever loses his life will win, who wants to earn his life loses it" (Mt 10, 39)

6.1 The cross is the key in that, representing the "death to oneself," it opens all doors of the meeting between what we are really stripped of all artifice, and the various dimensions of reality : self, cosmos, others, God.

6.2 The cross acts as a linchpin that holds all the elements of the logo interrelated way and becomes bound to a meeting in truth due to the gift of self through the commitment, renunciation and sacrifice.

6.3 Placed as a seal, the cross confirmed the authenticity of the approach proposed by the organization (Experiment Dominican, Canadian, Mexican). The road to globalization of solidarity through mutual empathy, listening and the taming of one another, a shared desire for change that faces many inner resistance and barriers field. Nothing is taken for granted on this ground and, as parents learn to give way to their children, suffering and the following of Christ crucified is inevitable to make any fruitful and give all their power to initiatives for a better world

Stripped of everything on the cross, Jesus is exalted in his resurrection and his ascension to the right of the Father as the Son who is called the "Lord" on the total universe. On the register of the faith, the agency can meet Christ died and rose through the other, especially the poor, and to marry the condition of the poor to find its identity as a child of God and commit to overcome evil, sin, death with Jesus, in short to allow him to join that nothing can resist.
