Abstract

The article discusses the use of a dynamic called "proto-word" in group pastoral care as a means of personal communication and deepening Christian faith. The term "proto-word" was created by K. Rahner and refers to words that provide a unifying tone to the diverse and confer wisdom. The dynamic involves choosing a card with a protopalabra and discussing what it evokes for each participant, including their feelings and original, familiar experiences related to the chosen word. This experience is essential for fostering deep and authentic communication within the group.
