Structural Division, Distribution, and Analysis of Psalms in the East Syriac Festival
Get PDFThe article examines the theological and traditional role of Psalms in the East Syriac Church Festival Vespers. The recitation of the Psalms occupies a major part of the Liturgy of the Hours, especially in the Vespers. In addition, several hymns and songs are intercalated with the Psalms or verses from the Psalms. They are inserted and used very intelligently in the Liturgy of the Hours. The aesthetical, theological, and literary quality of psalms and their distribution in the Liturgy of the Hours leads us to discuss the general structure and division of the East Syriac Psalter. This article will explain how the Psalms enjoy a superior status in the East Syriac festival Vespers by explaining their theological, Christological, and eschatological significance and role.L’articolo esamina il ruolo teologico e tradizionale dei salmi nei vespri festivi della Chiesa Siriaca Orientale.

The Eternity of God: Richard Swinburne vs. Thomas Aquinas
Get PDFOne of the fundamental properties which theism has always attributed to God is eternity. However, when it comes to spelling out what it effectively means to claim that God is eternal, different theists seem to part ways in their construal of this essential divine attribute. Whereas the classical Christian view which goes back to Origen, Augustine, Boethius, St. Anselm, and St. Thomas has interpreted God’s eternity in terms of timelessness, that is, His being outside time, a contrary view which understands God’s eternity in terms of His being everlasting has been tenaciously espoused in more recent time by the renowned contemporary natural theologian, Richard Swinburne. By this, Swinburne implies that God is not outside time but is rather in every time that ever was, is and will be; He is backwardly and forwardly everlasting. Inasmuch as both views seem persuasive, this essay evaluates the position of Swinburne vis-à-vis the classical view more critically as represented in the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas. Through a critical analysis of both positions and an exposition of their fundamental differences, strengths and weaknesses, it examines which interpretation helps better clearing the shadow enshrouding the question of God’s eternity

Vita consecrata: l’inaspettata valorizzazione della liturgia
Get PDFSummary: In this contribution we want to verify the place assigned to the liturgy in the liturgical horizons opened by Vita consecrata, through the study of the documents that accompanied the various synodal phases, starting with the Lineamenta, which already offer important indications, and then moving on to the Instrumentum laboris, the Propositiones and finally the apostolic exhortation Vita consecrata. The liturgy, the centre and summit of the Church’s life, must also become a fortiori the centre and summit of communities of consecrated life. Eucharistic celebration, listening to the Word, the Liturgy of the Hours and the sacrament of Penance, represent their source of spirituality but also their horizon of fraternal life. Furthermore, consecrated persons are called to live a transfigured life; the liturgy could be one of the main sources of such a transfiguration
Religion and Sustainable Development: Reflections on the Commitment of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church
Get PDFSummary: This paper systematically examines the commitment of the Catholic Church, through her social teachings, to the promotion of the universal project of human integral and sustainable development, especially as encapsulated in the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Panoramically exploring the history of the Church’s social doctrine and how the theme of human development remains of deep interest to the Church, it highlights the relationship between the Church’s social doctrine on development and the UN’s sustainable development agenda. Reflecting on the convergences and divergences between the Church’s vision of sustainable development and the approach of the UN’s agenda, it identifies what might be considered the fundamental reason that accounts for such divergences and then attempts to draw implications for a more effective and meaningful realization of authentic and integral sustainable development for all people and for every human person.Sommario: Questo lavoro esamina sistematicamente l’impegno della Chiesa cattolica, attraverso i suoi insegnamenti sociali, per la promozione del progetto universale di sviluppo umano integrale e sostenibile, in particolare come incapsulato nell’Agenda 2030 delle Nazioni Unite per lo sviluppo sostenibile. Esplorando panoramicamente la storia della dottrina sociale della Chiesa e come il tema dello sviluppo umano rimanga di profondo interesse per la Chiesa, evidenzia il rapporto tra la dottrina sociale della Chiesa sullo sviluppo e l’agenda delle Nazioni Unite per lo sviluppo sostenibile. Riflettendo sulle convergenze e le divergenze tra la visione della Chiesa dello sviluppo sostenibile e l’approccio dell’agenda delle Nazioni Unite, identifica quella che potrebbe essere considerata la ragione fondamentale che spiega tali divergenze e poi tenta di trarre implicazioni per una realizzazione più efficace e significativa di uno sviluppo.sostenibile autentico e integrale per l’umanità e per ogni persona umana
