CURA PERSONALIS AND TANTUM QUANTUM

Scenario: divide the board into 2 (one side for cura one side for tantum)
Speakers: Alex, Mai
Drug pushers: sapio, jonas, megan, sugar
Scene 1:
Mai: Tantum Quantum, tantum quantum. What does this mean? Is this even English?
Alex: No, that is actually latin. It means in so far as.
Mai: that doesn’t even make sense.
Alex: well, from St ignatius’ principle and foundation of the spiritual exercises, it refers to the
right use of creatures. We are to use them in so far as they lead us to our last end, and be rid of
them in so far as they hinder us in the pursuit of the end for which we are created.
Mai: oh, I understand, so it means that we can only use creatures as long as it serves our good
purpose and we need to let them go if they hinder our goals for which we are created.
Alex: Exactly! Let us look at this scenario:
*sapio jonas megan sugar enters* mag discuss mog drugs kamo na bahala unsay iingon. Pag
freeze dayon mo after.
Mai: wait, that’s not right! They’re doing drugs. I don’t think that’s appropriate. They are only
using drugs for their own satisfaction.
Alex: You’re right. This is what tantum quantum looks like.
*pag act mo again na nay nagsakit and like kailangan ninyo ang drug para cure*
Mai: Now that makes sense. They are using the drug for a purpose.
Alex: That’s right mai, now let’s go to the cura personalis.
Mai: I know this one. It means care for the whole person.
Alex: that’s right! It means respecting all that makes up each individual. This tells us that our
talents, abilities, physical attributes, personalities, desires, hearts, faith, and minds are all
equally worthy of care and attention.
Mai: Ohh. Does cura personalis look like this?
*sulod bing keilly xavier geegoy* pag act mo na mura mog ga td. Pero dapat nay mag ingon na
“Hellooo welcome to our second Ligsok night school session” kamo na bahala sa mga roles.
Alex: Yes, exactly. Our school’s Ligsok Night School program is a good example for cura
personalis, for they show respect and care for those street kids by teaching them and giving
them a chance to experience how it feels to be a student. The school also provides them with
free uniform and id, and even gives them food.
Mai: Wow, that’s really nice. I understand now. Thank you Alex! Now I know what Tantum
quantum and Cura personalis means.
Alex: No problem! Again, tantum quantum means:
Megan, sugar, jonas, sapix: In so far as!
Mai: and cura personalis means:
Xavier, bing, geegoy, keilly: care for the whole person.
Alex and Mai: and that ends our report! Thank you!
