Gender and the Christian Spiritual Life

Gender and the Christian Spiritual Life

Płeć a chrześcijańskie życie duchowe

Author(s): Cezary Sękalski / Language(s): English,Polish,Italian / Issue: 1/2016

Keywords: gender; Christian spiritual life; femininity; masculinity; hesed; rahamim; sanctity; perfection; ascetism; mysticism

In Christianity, the goals of the spiritual life, namely sanctity and perfection, can also be considered from a male and female perspective. The female perspective would mean, most of all, the reality of belonging to God, a close relationship in which we welcome the gratuitous gift leading to divinization. The male perspective is more mission-oriented and moral in its character; it focuses on an obligation, a concrete response to the gift of love. We can say that the perspective based on a relationship is more feminine, and the one which evokes moral ability rather masculine. The spiritual life, as such, should include a specific balance between these two factors.

Is There a “Kerygmatic Spirituality”?

Is There a “Kerygmatic Spirituality”?

Czy można mówić o "duchowości kerygmatycznej"?

Author(s): Jan K. Miczyński / Language(s): Polish,Italian / Issue: 1/2013

Keywords: Kerygmatic Spirituality; New Evangelization

Lo scopo dell’articolo è mettere in evidenza che il kerigma su Gesù costituisce un fondamento della spiritualità del discepolo-maestro. Chi apprende la verità non nasconde la sua ricchezza, ma, a sua volta, la insegna agli altri. Cerca di condividerecon gli altri la propria esperienza del kerigma accolto. La sua spiritualità, concentrata sul contenuto, può essere denominata spiritualità kerigmatica. Evangelizzare non si riduce a comunicare un messaggio o ad annunciare la buona notizia, ma è uno stile di vita, uno sforzo per formare discepoli di Cristo.

Holy Carmelite Hermitages

Holy Carmelite Hermitages

Święte eremy karmelitańskie

Author(s): Eulogio Pacho / Language(s): Polish,Italian / Issue: 1/2013

Keywords: Carmelite Order; Hermitage; St Teresa of Avila; St John of the Cross

Per capire l’originalità della forma eremitica di vita nel Carmelo Teresiano, l’autore attinge inizialmente dal periodo prima della Riforma Teresiana. Chiarisce il processo che ha subito l’ideale primitivo della vita eremitica, quello del Monte Carmelo,e constata, appogiandosi su fonti storiche, che anche dopo l’adattamento della Regola di S. Alberto alla vita mendicante, la dimensione eremitica dell’Ordine ha continuato a giocare un ruolo importante nella vita dei conventi carmelitani. In un secondo momento l’autore spiega da dove, nel Carmelo Teresiano, sorge l’idea dei conventi eremitici, nonostante né S. Teresa di Gesù né S. Giovanni della Croce abbiano manifestato chiaramente un tale progetto.

Author(s): Dorota Narewska / Language(s): Polish,Italian / Issue: 1/2012

Keywords: Karol Wojtyła;journalism;Tygodnik Powszechny;Carmelite Order;

Il Beato Giovanni Paolo II è conosciuto come teologo, pastore di anime, filosofo,poeta. Rimane sconosciuta la sua attività pluriennale come coredattore e giornalista vincolato, tra l’altro, con “Tygodnik Powszechny” e “Znak” negli anni 1958–1978. L’analisi dei testi pubblicistici degli anni 1949–1978, delle omelie e della corrispondenza di Wojtyła con i redattori permette di ricostruire la sua visione del giornalismo e della riflessione del futuro Papa sulla natura dei mass-media.

The Dynamics of Love According to St John of the Cross

The Dynamics of Love According to St John of the Cross

Dinamica dell’amore secondo San Giovanni della Croce

Author(s): Andrzej Ruszała / Language(s): Polish,Italian / Issue: 1/2011

Artykuł przedstawia dynamikę miłości w życiu człowieka, która - w ujęciu św. Jana od Krzyża - jest dynamiką historii zbawienia, dokonującej się w człowieku i przeżywanej przez niego na co dzień. Przeanalizowane zostały najważniejsze momenty tej zbawczej dynamiki miłości, odczytywane przez Doktora mistycznego zawsze w kluczu personalistycznym. Źródłem miłości i jej rozwoju jest Boża inicjatywa i Boży plan miłości wobec człowieka. Fakt grzechu jest odrzuceniem ze strony człowieka miłości Boga, które rodzi konkretne, negatywne konsekwencje w życiu duchowym. Kolejnym etapem historii miłości jest objawienie Bożej miłości w tajemnicy odkupienia, dokonanego przez Chrystusa oraz odpowiedź człowieka na tę miłość i współpraca z nią.

Toward the Philosophy of Friendship. In Dialogue with Plato, Aristotle and St Teresa (Part III)

Toward the Philosophy of Friendship. In Dialogue with Plato, Aristotle and St Teresa (Part III)

Ku filozofii przyjaźni. W dialogu z Platonem, Arystotelesem i św. Teresą od Jezusa. Część III.

Author(s): Albert Stanisław Wach / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 1/2018

Keywords: good; friendship; love; virtue; feeling (affection); ethics; commandment

The article constitutes the third part our study of the philosophy of friendship. It presents a sort of dialogue between three great experts in this field: Plato, Aristotle and St Teresa of Avila. They gave testimony to the central place of the idea of friendship in their respective times, and they help modernity to retrieve it. The first point in the third part of this study takes up again the question of the interpersonal relationships, and, specifically, describes various types of friendship (3.4). St Teresa distinguishes only two types of friendship, whereas Aristotle speaks of three. Their reflections have an existential value in that they help us to distinguish authentic from inauthentic forms of friendship.The study proceeds by considering friendship as virtue (3.5) and friendship as affection (or passion) (3.6). These two concepts are fundamental for understanding friendship as such. The first (virtue) brings out the ideal significance of friendship.The second (passion) speaks of its significance in reality. These meanings are distinct, but not opposed.The final point of this study, and the final element in the dialogue between Teresa and Aristotle, picks up again the question of the two related but distinct concepts, namely “friendship” and “love” (3.7).

The Darkness of Faith in the Contemporary World. The Beliver's Answers on the Basis of the Book of Job and Ps 22 as well as the Experiences of St Therese from Lisieux

The Darkness of Faith in the Contemporary World. The Beliver's Answers on the Basis of the Book of Job and Ps 22 as well as the Experiences of St Therese from Lisieux

Ciemność wiary współczesnego świata. Próba odpowiedzi wierzącego na podstawie Księgi Hioba, Psalmu 22 oraz doświadczenia św. Teresy z Lisieux

Author(s): Bartłomiej Kucharski / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 1/2019

Keywords: suffering; loneliness; faith; atheism; salvation

The present day is marked by wounds inflicted by two totalitarianisms: Nazism and communism. The fruit of their impact is the ever-growing sense of God’s absence in the spiritual experience of contemporary times. This paper refers to the testimonies of two artists: Beckett and Różewicz, to show the mood of the time of God’s death. John Paul II called this experience “a collective dark night enveloping the world.” Then it uses biblical testimonies to reveal that the issue of God who is absent or silent appears in the Book of Job or in Psalm 22 as well as in the descriptions of Jesus’ passion. These refl ections lead to present the contemporary context of these biblical passages. Job’s torment is compared to the experiences described in the dramas of J.P. Sartre. In turn, Ps 22 and the Passion of Jesus carry with them the interpretation of the experience of the death of God that the contemporary world is experiencing. The culmination of all the considerations is to show the anguish of the night of faith of Thérèse of Lisieux. At the end of her life she lost her joy flowing from faith. She thought that there was no heaven and that after death a darkness of nothingness awaited her. Her experience was connected with serious physical sufferings. Thérèse’s agony seems to be a response to the dilemmas of contemporary times. Through her pain the Saint of Lisieux carries suff erings of atheists and through her intercession she pleads the grace of faith for them. Thérèse is a gift for the times when God seems to be absent and silent. Her faith, despite her experiences of emptiness and nothingness, saves the lost inhabitants of our times.
