Resumo:
In “Caring: structuring concept in healing interweavings?” I relate the understanding of the practical concept of Caring to the Health/Human Formation (Bildung) interface, from the perspective of Spirituality. Of qualitative character, with a hermeneutic and self-narrative methodology, I proposed to research the concept bibliographically; to analyze how it relates, in human formation, in healing interweaviings; understand its repercussions on caregiving practices in order to (re)affirm healing as a therapeutic process in the development of humanity in human beings. I present the theme in four chapters: in the first, the context in which the reflection takes place; in the second, understandings starting from Heidegger; in the third, approximations between the concepts of care, human formation, health, spirituality and healing and, at the end, glimpses of ways towards Pastoral Care, from the perspective of the Grace of God, in the paths of Diakonia, Art Therapy and Naturopathy. Using the terms cure and care emphasizes the ontic-ontological dimension of care based on the term Sorge, presented by Heidegger, in Being and Time, since in humanization - development of the human being with a view to the Good and the Beautiful - practices need to be based on caring. Only caring humanizes, enabling the human being to choose the Good and do the Beautiful so that life is articulated in ways of harmony. Caring is that dimension in which Health and Education come together, under the holistic perception that everything is somehow related. That is why terms such as caring, care, spirituality and therapeutic community need to be understood as modus vivendi in which the unity of life is made in healing interweavings. CARING is to promote a way of being so that existence is lived authentically from processes of formation of humanity in the human being; HEALING INTERWEAVINGS is a therapeutic way through which it is possible to learn and teach a way of being in which humanity is cultivated in us and the unity of life is cultivated among us. CURE is a process that takes place through care and leads us to respond based on an understanding of the meaning of being: responding to an ontological call of the being being able to be, the conduction of existence takes place by choosing the Good and doing the Beautiful, assuming being guardian of homo curans in such a way that we can learn and teach to care in order to heal ourselves from the wrong ways of thinking and feeling that we carry as pain and illness. Talking about pastoral care is approaching the therapeutic community from the point of view that the common unity is based on the sense of being able to be with each other and with others, under the understanding that Grace is God's commitment to the person's healing, whatever its situation or condition. It is not about experiencing something that God “does”, but feeling the effects of what he “is” as healing. Experiencing the element of Grace as a healing factor can be the link that makes it possible to interweave care and healing between us in the communities of which we are part, making them therapeutic.
