Virgin Mary in the Mystery of Church. Comparatne analysis theological accents Jean Galot and Alfred Scheneider
No full textNauk II. vatikanskog koncila nedvojbeno je potvrdio da se otajstvo osobe i povijesno-spasenjske uloge Marije iz Nazareta ima razumijevati u misteriju Krista i Crkve. Blažena Djevica Marija, kao majka Krista – Glave Crkve, zauzima jedinstveno mjesto u zajednici Kristovih učenika. Pod tim vidom, u diplomskom radu kanimo istražiti koje teološke naglaske otajstvene povezanosti Djevice Marije i Crkve izdvajaju dva teologa koja smo izabrali. Radi se o dvojici isusovaca – belgijskom teologu Jean Galotu (1919. – 2008.), dugogodišnjem profesoru teologije na Papinskom sveučilištu Gregorijana u Rimu, te o hrvatskom teologu Alfredu Schneideru (1931. – 2016), profesoru teologije na Filozofskom fakultetu Družbe Isusove i na Teološkom studiju Filozofsko-teološkog instituta Družbe Isusove u Zagrebu. U prva dva poglavlja ovoga rada, polazeći od temeljnih marioloških djela ovih teologa, donijet će se sustavna analiza njihovih teoloških naglasaka s obzirom na odnos Gospodinove majke i njegove Crkve. U trećemu, i posljednjem poglavlju komparativnom analizom prikazat ćemo u čemu su teološki naglasci J. Galota i A. Schneidera slični, a u čemu prepoznajemo teološke razlike s obzirom na sadržaj, a koje ćemo pokušati razumjeti u svjetlu mariološkog naučavanja II. vatikanskog koncila, enciklike Redemptoris Mater te suvremenih teoloških pravaca.The teachings of Second Vatican Council, undoubtedly had confirmed that the mystery of person and salvation history part Mary of Nazareth, had to be understood in mystery of Christ and Church. The Blessed Virgin Mary, as a mother of Christ – head of the Church, occupy a unique place in community of Christ's disciples. Under that sight, in this paper we intend to investigate which theological accents of mystery connection Virgin Mary and the Church, are distinguished by the two theologians which we choose. Those are two jesuits – Belgian theologian Jean Galot (1919. – 2008.), long-range professor of theology in the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, and the Croatian theologian Alfred Schneider (1931. – 2016.), professor of theology in the Faculty of Philosophy of Society of Jesus and the Jesuit Institute of Philosphy and Theology in Zagreb. In the first two chapters of this paper, starting with core Mariology literary work of this two theologians, it will be brought systematic analysis theirs thological accents considering relationship of the Lord's Mother and his Church. In the third, and the last chapter, by comparative anaysis where are going to show the similarity of thological accents od J. Galot and A. Schneider, and the dissimilarity considering the content. We will try to understand the same in the light of Mariology teachings of Second Vatican Council, Encyclical Letter Redemptoris Mater and contemporary theological directions
Memoria passionis in theology of Johan Baptist Metz
No full textSvrha ovoga diplomskog rada jest prikazati značenje teološke misli Johanna Baptista Metza, te ukazati na njegovu aktualnost, osobito analizirajući temu spomena patnje (memoria passionis). Temeljna djela koje ćemo obrađivati jesu knjiga Memoria passionis. Provokativni spomen u pluralističkom društvu, te članak Prijedlog univerzalnog programa kršćanstva u doba globalizacije. Prvo poglavlje naglašava da je patnja stvarnost, svakidašnjica, i veliki problem te je najveći izazov za kršćane. Patnja uplaši čovjeka i zbuni ga te ga odvrati od traženja Boga, no treba imati na umu da svaki čovjek u osobnom trpljenju može postati sudionik otkupiteljske Kristove patnje. Dakle, u kršćanskom poimanju patnja se tumači kao zlo koji se na neki način odnosi na izvjesno dobro. Drugo poglavlje donosi misli Johanna Baptista Metza s obzirom na temu spomena patnje. Važno je naglasiti da teolog Metz razlikuje spomen patnje od pukog prisjećanja; nije samo riječ o sjećanju koje se jednostavno odnosi na povijest, na nešto što je bilo i čega se mi prisjećamo, sa sjetom i tugom, radošću i toplinom. Kod memoriae passionis riječ je o opasnom sjećanju koje se egzistencijalno tiče našeg bitka, sjećanju koje dovodi u pitanje našu sadašnjost i budućnost. U trećem poglavlju donosimo kratki osvrt s obzirom na memoriu passionis, ukazujući na njezinu aktualnost, ali ističući i neke kritične točke. Pritom ćemo ukazati i na dimenziju sućutnosti koju povezujemo s temom milosrđa. Naime, milosrđe je sam temelj na kojima počiva život Crkve, te je usko povezano sa uočavanjem patnje drugoga. Cjelokupno njezino pastoralno djelovanje moralo bi biti obavijeno nježnošću i milosrđem.The purpose of this graduate thesis is to highlight the actual meaning of the theological thought of Johan Baptist Metz. The fundamental works we will deal with are the book Memoria Passionis and the article of the Universal Program of Christianity in the Age of Globalization. The first section emphasizes that suffering is reality, everyday life, and a major problem and is the greatest challenge for Christians. The suffering scares the man and confuses him and repels him from seeking God, but it should be borne in mind that every man in personal suffering can become a participant in the redeeming Christ's suffering. So, in Christian perception, suffering is interpreted as an evil that in some sense relates to some good. On that path, the second part brings the thoughts of Johannes Baptist Metz. It is important to emphasize that the theologian Metz distinguishes the memory of mourning from a mere recollection, not merely a remembrance that simply refers to history, to something that has been and what we remember, with the sadness and sorrow, joy and warmth; At memoriae passionis, we are talking about a dangerous memory that is existential in our battle, a memory that challenges our present and future. In the third part, we point out brief critical reviews regarding the book Memoria passionis and Theology of Johann Baptist Metz with the aim of making a second opinion. At the end of the paper, we bring the dimension of compassion we associate with the theme of mercy. Namely, mercy is the very foundation on which the Church's life rests. Overall, its passionate action should be worn by the gentleness it shows towards believers, nothing in its proclamation and its testimony to the world should be deprived of mercy
Crkveni oci i II. Vatikanski sabor
No full textCilj rada je prikazati utjecaj patrističke ekleziologije na Drugom vatikanskom saboru, točnije u dogmatskoj konstituciji Lumen gentium, a time i prisutnost u današnjoj Crkvi. S obzirom na širinu građe dokumenata Drugog vatikanskog sabora, u radu smo se odlučili usredotočiti samo na navedeno. Rad je podijeljen u dva dijela. Prvi, kraći dio rada, ukratko progovara općenito o crkvenim saborima, zatim naglasak prelazi na Drugi vatikanski sabor, pregled rada, strukturu i plodove. U sklopu pregleda Sabora, ukratko navodimo i povijesni presjek razmišljanja o Crkvi. Drugi dio rada bazira se na konstituciji Lumen gentium, tj. na citatima konstitucije koji se temelje na mislima i djelima patrističke ekleziologije. Pregledalismo svih osam poglavlja konstitucije i izvukli dijelove sa bilješkama baziranima na mislima crkvenih otaca, pisaca i naučitelja. Takvim načinom rada nastojali smo prikazati koliku važnost za Crkvu ima baština temeljena na Tradiciji, konkretno na patrističkom razdoblju. Neke od tema kojima se bavimo su: Božji narod, svijest o poslanju svih članova Crkve, uloga biskupa, đakoni, prezbiteri, uloga laika, svetost kao životni cilj vjernika kršćanina, putevi svetosti, odnos prema nekršćanima, svijet o poslanju u svijetu, putujuća i nebeska Crkva, te Marija.The goal of this thesis is to present the influence of patristic ecclesiology at the Second Vatican Council, specifically in the dogmatic constitution Lumen gentium, as well as its presence in the contemporary Church. Taking into account the width of the Second Vatican Council's materials, we have decided to focus specifically on the above mentioned. The thesis is divided into two parts.The first, shorter part of the thesis, gives a brief overview of the Church Councils, after which it focuses on the Second Vatican Council, and reviews its activities, structure and outcomes. Within the Second Vatican Council review, we will present a brief historical overview of the reflections on the Church. The second part of the thesis focuses on the dogmatic constitution Lumen gentium, specifically on its quotes based on the views and works of the patristic ecclesiology. We have examined all of the eight chapters of the constitution and extracted the parts that include notes based on thoughts and views of Church Fathers, Doctors and writers. By doing this, we aimed to present the importance that the heritage based on the Tradition, specifically on the patristic period, has for the Church. Some of the subjects involved are: the People of God, awareness on the mission of each member of the Church, the role of the bishop, deacons, presbyters, the role of the lay people, sanctity as the life vocation of a Christian, paths to sanctity, relation towards non-christians, awareness on the mission in the world, Traveling and Heavenly Church, and Mary
Pro Life initiatives in promoting the moral values of life
No full textSuvremeno doba može se pohvaliti mnogim tehničkim i medicinskim postignućima, ali kada je riječ o promoviranju temeljnih moralnih vrijednosti ljudskog života , a napose u njegovom začetnom stadiju, tu je čovječanstvo danas zakazalo. I možemo slobodno ustvrditi da nikada kao danas vrijednosti braka i obitelji nisu bili toliko ugroženi. To se napose vidi u sukobljenim stajalištima Pro Life inicijativa te Pro Choice pokreta.
U doba ugroženosti ljudskog života potrebno je naći sve načine kako izaći iz tog doba. Tu si je značajnu ulogu preuzela Crkva i mnogi društveno osvješteni pokreti. U namjeri njihova prezentiranja, ovaj je rad podijeljen u četiri dijela.
1. PRO LIFE POKRET
2. PRO CHOICE POKRET
3. MORALNA SUKOBLJAVANJA PRO LIFE I PRO CHOICE POKRETA
4. PASTORALNE INICIJATIVE PRO LIFE POKRETA
Danas je sekularizacija udaljila Boga od svih ključnih trenutaka ljudskog života i baš zato su Pro Life pokreti potrebni kao nikada prije.Modern age is abundant in many technical and medical achievements but it failed in promoting of the basic moral values of human life, especially in its initial stage. We can state that never before have the traditional values of marriage and family been so endangered. It can clearly be seen in the opposing viewpoints of the Pro Life initiatives and the Pro Choice movements.
In times when human life is in danger, it is neccesarry to find all the possible means to find a way out of that situation. The Church and many socially conscious movements play a great part in it. This work is divided into four parts in order to present them:
1. PRO LIFE MOVEMENT
2. PRO CHOICE MOVEMENT
3. THE MORAL COLLISION BETWEEN THE PRO LIFE AND THE PRO CHOICE MOVEMENT
4. THE PASTORAL INITIATIVES OF THE PRO LIFE MOVEMENT
Today, the secularization has left God behind for all key moments of human life and that's why Pro Life moves are needed as much as never before
Anxiety. Existential fear or a sin against the virtue of hope
No full textU ovome radu, analizirat će se problematika anksioznosti kao psihičke poteškoće, njezini simptomi, uzroci i dijagnoza te krjepost ufanja kao put izvrsnosti za čovjeka. Čovjek danas živi u užurbanom svijetu pa će se, potaknuto tom činjenicom, vidjeti što čovjeka može udaljiti od Boga, Crkve, samoga sebe i okoline. Što dovodi do strahova i koliko sam čovjek može egzistencijalno utjecati na situacije u kojima se nalazi? Ulazi se u područje psihopatologije kao znanstvene discipline i njezine podjele te razlikovanja normalnog od abnormalnog ponašanja. Autor u radu daje prednost poremećaju anksioznosti kao poremećaju koji nameće pitanje: je li čovjek u egzistencijalnoj opasnosti ili pak u grijehu protivnom krjeposti ufanja i kako to rastumačiti s obzirom na kompleksnost same čovjekove naravi i poremećaja? Nadalje, rad se bavi anksioznim simptomima, dijagnozi, uzrocima te oblicima, govori o posljedicama i liječenju te samom dostojanstvu čovjeka kao osobe i onoga koji je stvoren na sliku Božju i koji kao takav ima vrijednost. U okviru same anksioznosti, dotaknut će se i obraditi pojam krjeposti, definicija, povijesni presjek, narav i govor Svetoga pisma i crkvenoga učiteljstva. U središtu misli, uz poremećaj anksioznosti, jest krjepost ufanja koja je ujedno i glavni dio rada budući da je i rad naslovljen i upućen na krjepost ufanja; ovdje je poseban naglasak na govor nekih biblijskih i teoloških velikana. Nadalje, prodrijet će se u problematiku grijeha i poremećaja protiv krjeposti ufanja, a u posljednjem dijelu rada autor pokušava integrirati teologiju i psihologiju kao dvije zasebne, a međusobno povezane discipline koje se nadopunjuju. Nastojat ćemo vidjeti kako čovjeku koji je anksiozno potresen u pomoć prilazi Crkva, a kako psihoterapija te ulogu sakramenata, svećenika kao Kristovog namjesnika i zajednice vjernika. Zaključno, rad će pokazati da je krjepost ufanja ključ vjerskog života budući da molitveni život treba biti protkan upravo vjerom, ufanjem i ljubavlju i na čijem putu važnu ulogu ima Duh Sveti koji posreduje za ljude neizrecivim uzdasima i Bog koji u svemu na dobro surađuje s onima koji ga ljube (usp. Rim 8, 26-28).In this paper we will attempt to analyze the issues of anxiety as a psychological difficulty, its symptoms, causes and diagnosis as well as virtue as the way of excellence for man. The man of today lives in a world of rush, so, prompted by that fact, we will see what can estrange man from God, Church, himself and his surroundings. What leads to fears and how much can man himself existentially influence the situations in which he finds himself? The paper deals with psychology as a scientific discipline and about division and discernment of normal and abnormal behaviour. In this paper the author gives precedence to anxiety as disorder which poses the question: is man in an existential danger or in a sin against the virtue of hope and how to interpret that in sight of complexity of human nature itself and of disorders? Further, the paper will deail with symptoms of anxiety, its diagnosis, causes and its various kinds and talk about consequences and treatment and the dignity of man as a person as well as the one who is created in the image of God. In frame of anxiety we ill touch upon and deal with virtues, their definition, history, nature and that which Sacred Scripture and Church Magisterium teach about them. In the center of thought, along with anxiety disorder, is the virtue of hope which is also the core part of the paper since the work is titled and directed towards the virtue of hope; here specifically are brought the words of biblical and theological giants. Moreover, we will delve into issues of sins and disorders against the virtue of hope, and in the last part, we will try to integrate theology and psychology as two individual but interconnected disciplines. We will attempt to see how the Church, and how psychotherapy comes to aid a man who suffers from anxiety and the role of sacraments, of priest as Christ's vicar and the role of the community of the faithful is explored. In conclusion, it will be seen that the virtue of hope is the key of spiritual life since the life of prayer needs to be interwoven precisely with faith, hope and charity, and in whose way the crucial role has the Holy Spirit who intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings and God who works for good in everything with those who love him (cf. Rom 8:26-28)
The analysis and the theological outlook of Hannah Arendt's term vita activa
No full textU radu se analizira pojam vita activa u djelu The Human Condition njemačko-američke filozofkinje Hannahe Arendt, uključujući i ostale važne teme koje govor o ovome pojmu obuhvaća. Nekim temama pristupa se iz perspektive kršćanstva i pokušava dati teološki osvrt s ciljem produbljenja ili pojašnjenja. Prvi dio rada zaustavlja se na općem prikazu pojma vita activa, kojima Hannah Arendt označava tri osnovne ljudske djelatnosti: rad, proizvođenje i djelovanje. Ovdje se predstavljaju temeljne odrednice i razlikovanja njezinih promišljanja u vezi s ovim. Drugi dio rada pobliže prikazuje svaku od djelatnosti posebno, upućujući na njihova najvažnija obilježja koja naša autorica u njima prepoznaje i dinamične odnose ili zatamnjenja u kojima su se tijekom povijesti tri djelatnosti našle. Treći dio rada u prvome poglavlju donosi viđenje modernoga doba Hannahe Arendt i najznačajnijih događaja toga razdoblja u kontekstu obratâ u hijerarhiji djelatnosti vita activa. Drugo poglavlje trećega dijela donosi kritički teološki osvrt na četiri odabrane teme povezane s vita activa. Time se nastoji izdaleka približiti govor kršćanstva govoru Hannahe Arendt, ali i, uz određena neslaganja, produbiti i pojasniti njezine misli o čovjeku i njegovim djelatnostima.The paper analyzes the term vita activa in the work The Human Condition of german-american philosopher Hannah Arendt, and it includes other important topics which are encompased by the discourse about this term. Some topics are approached from the perspective of christianity and there is an attempt to give a theological outlook with the end of deepening and clarification. The first part of the paper goes no further but to generally present the term vita activa by which Hannah Arrendt designates the three fundamental human activities: labor, work and action. Here are presented the fundamental determinants and distinctions of her thought on this. The second part of this paper more closely presents every activity separately, directing at their most important characteristics which are recognized in them by our said author, and at their dynamic relations or obscurations in which those three activities found themselves over the course of history. The third part of the paper, in its first chapter, presents Hannah Arendt's view of the modern age and the most significant events of that period in the context of revolutions of the hierarchy of activities of vita activa. The second chapter of the third part presents a critical view of four selected topics which are connected to vita activa. By this it is endeavored from afar to make closer christian talk to Hannah Arendt's talk, but also, with certain disagreements, to deepen and clarify her thoughts on man and his activities
Važnost dušebrižništva u suvremenom društvu
No full textDušobrižništvo ili pastoralna psihologija proučava utjecaj psihičkih faktora na vjerski
život te predstavlja odnos između pastoralnog djelatnika (svećenik ili laik) i jednog ili više
vjernika. Svećenici su se oduvijek zanimali kako psihološka saznanja mogu pomoći u
kršćanskoj praksi, iako je psihologija kao samostalna znanstvena disciplina nastala tek u 19.
stoljeću. Razvoj psihologije u dušobrižništvu tekao je polako te se odnos psihologije i
teologije izmjenjivao od međusobne isključivosti do uspostave dijaloga zahvaljujući mnogim
teolozima i psiholozima. Drugi vatikanski sabor donio je znatni zaokret u stavu katoličke
Crkve prema psihologiji.
Sve je više prisutna svijest u današnje vrijeme da psihologijske spoznaje mogu
značajno doprinijeti boljem ispunjavanju dušobrižničke zadaće. Stoga je nezaobilazna zadaća
današnjeg dušobrižnika steći osnovne spoznaje o konceptima psihologije, te osobito o
temeljima savjetovanja. To je potrebno dušobrižniku kako bi znao saslušati ljude u vjersko
moralnim poteškoćama, razumjeti ih i savjetovati. Jedna od najvećih dušobrižničkih mudrosti
i umjetnosti jest: znati s ljudima pravilno govoriti. Tu nam kao primjer može biti papa Franjo
koji je svojim načinom komuniciranja i jednostavnošću nastupa unio živost u samu Crkvu i
uveliko pridonio promjeni percepcije Crkve u javnosti.
U pastoralnom djelovanju svećenicima od velike pomoći mogu biti vjernici laici.
Podjela Crkve u prošlosti na kler i laici često je pogodovala pasivnosti i neodgovornosti
vjernika laika, stoga je zadatak svećenika da se zalažu za promjenu tog mentaliteta.Chaplaincy and pastoral psychology studies the impact of psychological factors on
the religious life and the relationship between pastoral workers (priests or laity) and one or
more of the faithful. Priests have always been interested in how psychological knowledge
can help in Christian practice, although psychology as an independent scientific discipline
emerged only in the 19th century.Development of Psychology in Pastoral Care progressed
slowly and the relationship of psychology and theology changed between mutual exclusion
and establishing of a dialogue thanks to the many theologians and psychologists. The Second
Vatican Council brought a significant shift in the attitude of the Catholic Church to
psychology.
Nowadays, people are increasingly aware that psychological knowledge can
contribute significantly to perform pastoral tasks better. Therefore, the unavoidable task of
today's pastors is to acquire basic knowledge about the concepts of psychology, and
particularly the foundations of counseling. That is neccessary for pastors to be able to listen
to people about their religious and moral problems, understand and advise them. One of the
biggest wisdoms and arts of pastoral care is: to be able to speak to people properly. As an
example we can include Pope Francis who, with his way of communication and ease of
performance, brought life into the Church, and greatly contributed to changing the perception
of the Church in public eye.
In pastoral work faithful laity can be of great help to priests. The division of the
Church in the past to clergy and laity often favored passivity and irresponsibility of the
faithful laity, therefore the priests strive to change this mentality
Rape as a war crime during during the homeland war in the area of the Đakovo-Osijek archdiocese and an attempt to provide a psychosocial and a spiritual assistance to the victim
No full textTraumatski događaj, bilo koje vrste, za sobom vuče posljedice prisutne u svakodnevnom životu traumatizirane osobe. Kao najteži oblik traumatskog iskustva navodi se onaj koji je nanesen od strane druge osobe, a među njima najokrutniji je oblik ratni zločin silovanja u kojem osoba i prije samog silovanja biva izložena više puta i na razne načine zlostavljanu kroz zarobljavanje, odvođenje u logor, odvajanje od obitelji, zastrašivanje, ponižavanje, nanošenje fizičke, psihičke i emocionalne boli. Iz svega navedenoga vidljivo je kako je silovanje tek vrhunac svih drugih oblika zlostavljanje i zbog toga naročito traumatično.
Ratni zločin silovanja događao se i tijekom Domovinskog rata na području Đakovačko – osječke nadbiskupije te smo odlučili ovim radom ukazati na teškoću zastupljenosti ove teme koja je zahvaćala u velikoj mjeri žrtve Domovinskog rata. Ovo kriminalno djelo nije se zaustavilo samo u tom periodu, već se njegova pojavnost, nažalost, kontinuirano događa i u suvremenim mirovnim vremenima.
Cilj ovog rada bio je progovoriti o ratnom zločinu silovanja tijekom Domovinskog rata. U tu svrhu najprije smo sagledali uzroke ratnog zločina silovanja kao i posljedice s kojima žrtve zločina i danas žive. Izlažući zakonske akte kroz povijest, na međunarodnoj i državnoj razini, pokušali smo ga definirati kao zločin koji iziskuje kažnjavanje počinitelja.
Osim teorijskog dijela, veliki dio specijalističkog rada temelji se na rezultatima sastavljene i provedene ankete među žrtvama ratnog zločina silovanja tijekom Domovinskog rata na području Đakovačko – osječke nadbiskupije, s ciljem istraživanja iskustava, stavova, mišljenja, osjećaja i poteškoća s kojima žrtve i danas žive. Temeljem iskaza, prikazani su mehanizmi suočavanja s traumama koje su nakon rata i zločina silovanja prisutne. Vidljiva je organizirana pravna, psihološka i medicinska pomoć, no ono što još uvijek žrtvama nedostaje je podrška i razumijevanje društva te duhovna pomoć, kako žrtvama tako i članovima obitelji.
Završni dio naglašava važnost psihosocijalne te još više duhovne pomoći žrtvama i njihovim obiteljima uz pastoralne smjernice.Any type of traumatic event leaves behind consequences on the daily life of a traumatized person. The most serious traumatic experience is the one inflicted by another person, whereas the cruelest among them is wartime rape in which a person, even before the rape, is repeatedly exposed and abused in various ways through capture, detention in concentration camps, separation from the family, intimidation, humiliation and infliction of physical, psychological and mental pain. Evidently, rape is only the culmination of all other forms of abuse and therefore particularly traumatic.
Wartime rape occurred during the Homeland War around the Archdiocese Đakovo-Osijek as well, so we decided to point out the difficulties concerning the issues of the wartime rape which largely affected the victims of the war. This criminal act did not stop after the wartime period but, unfortunately, still continuously occurs in peaceful times.
The aim of this paper was to speak about the wartime rape during the Homeland War. We considered the causes of wartime rape as well as the consequences still suffered by the victims. By giving a historic overview of legal acts on the international and national level, we tried to define it as a crime that requires punishment for the perpetrators.
In addition to the theoretical part, the large part of the specialist thesis is based on the results of the survey conducted with the victims of the wartime rape during the period of the Homeland War around the Archdiocese Đakovo-Osijek to explore experiences, attitudes, feelings and difficulties that the victims still confront. According to their testimonies, the coping mechanisms for facing the war trauma and wartime rape are still present. Although legal, psychological and medical assistance are organized, the victims still lack spiritual support for them and their family members as well as support and empathy from the society.
The final part emphasizes the importance of psychosocial assistance and particularly spiritual support through pastoral guidelines for the victims and their families
A PRIESTHOOD CALL BETWEEN NATURE AND SUPERNATURAL Living the priesthood in the fullness of humanum and the call to holiness
No full textŽivljenje svećeničkog poziva prožeto je određenom napetošću između uzvišenog Božjeg poziva na pastoralnu službu u Crkvi i čovjekove ograničene naravi. Svećenik u sebi doživljava dodir božanskoga sa zakonima njegove naravi i čovještva, susret naravi i nadnaravi, iskustvo ljudske slabosti i Božje milosti, poziv da se iz svoje ograničenosti vine prema svetosti. Rad stoga nastoji osvijetliti osobnu dramu koja se događa u svakom svećeniku i pronaći jedinstvenu i usku nit koja povezuje litice naravi i nadnaravi i vodi prema ostvarenju nadnaravnosti naravi svećeničkog poziva.
Autor ovoj problematici pristupa interdisciplinarno. Polazeći od biblijskog iskustva Božjeg poziva uočava se kako Bog ne poziva „savršene“ u ljudskim očima, nego gleda na čovjekovo srce. Bog poziva „nesavršene“, ali koji, unatoč svojim nedostacima, snagom ljubavi prema Bogu polako rastu u svojem humanumu, a Bog taj proces osnažuje svojom milošću. U svjetlu biblijskog iskustva i današnji svećenik je pozvan, potaknut Božjom milošću i vođen ljubavlju prema svome pozivu, izgrađivati naravne sposobnosti i postići osobnu zrelost, osobito kroz prizmu afektivnog sazrijevanja. Osim toga, kako bi nadvladao nutarnju napetost, svećenik je pozvan i na trajnu izgradnju svoje naravi prema punini humanuma koja se očituje u osobi Isusa Krista. Suobličujući se Kristu, svećenik ostvaruje osobnu svetost na koju je pozvan snagom sakramenta Krsta i svetoga Reda. Napetost koja je prisutna u svećeničkom pozivu, nadilazi se u kristolikosti svećeničkog života jer istovremeno ostvaruje i puninu humanuma i osobnu svetost.
Opisujući konkretna ostvarenja odnosa milosti i naravi u svećeničkom životu, rad progovara i o važnosti odnosa prema autoritetu, povjerenom mu stadu te osobama suprotnog spola, povezujući svećeništvo s pozivom na svetost i teološko-sakramentalnim govorom o milosti svetoga reda. Svećenik je pozvan svakodnevno se suobličavati Isusu Kristu jer upravo kristocentričnost svećeničkog poziva jezgrovito odražava identitet, duhovnost, poslanje i narav svećeništva. Iz kristolikosti svećeničkog poziva proizlazi zahtjev za autentičnošću života koju prati čitav niz moralnih obveza u odnosu na služenje zajednici, naviještanje Riječi i slavljenje sakramenata. Na kraju rada, oslanjajući se na aktualne govore pape Franje, koji je u nekoliko prigoda jasno i odvažno progovorio o „bolestima i lijekovima“ Rimske Kurije, ali i svih onih koji se potpuno Bogu posvetiše, u radu se donose i konkretni pokazatelji drame življenja svećeničkog poziva, stvarnosti i očekivanja, ideali i borbe.The living of the priestly calling is pervaded by a certain tension between the exalted call of God to pastoral ministry in the Church and man's limited nature. The priest in himself feels the touch of the divine with the laws of his nature and mankind, the encounter of nature and supernatural, the experience of human weakness, and the grace of God, a call to increase from his limitation to holiness. This paper wants to enter the personal drama that is happening in every priest and find a unique and narrow thread that will connect the cliffs of nature and overwhelm the bridge of supernatural nature.
The author approaches this problem interdisciplinary. Starting from the biblical experience of God's call, it is noticed that God does not call "perfect" in the human eye, but looks at the human heart. God calls "imperfect" but who, despite their failings, with the power of love for God slowly grow in their humanity, and God empowers this process by his grace. In the light of the biblical experience, today's priest is called, motivated by God's grace and led by his love for his calling, to build up natural abilities and achieve personal maturity, especially through the premise of affective maturity. In addition, in order to overcome the inner tension, the priest is also called for a permanent construction of his character towards the fullness of humanum manifested in the person of Jesus Christ. Drawing to Christ, the priest realizes the personal holiness he is invoked by the power of the sacraments of baptism and the Holy Order. The tension that is present in the priestly calling goes beyond the Christology of priestly life, while at the same time fulfilling the fullness of humanum and personal holiness.
Describing the concrete achievements of the relationship of grace and nature in priestly life, the paper also talks about the importance of the relationship to authority, entrusted to him and to persons of the opposite sex, linking the priesthood with the call to holiness and the theological-sacramental speech of the grace of the Holy Order. The priest is called to conform daily to Jesus Christ every day because the very Christocentricity of the priestly calling is a fundamental reflection of the identity, spirituality, mission and nature of the priesthood. From the Christianity of the priestly calling comes the demand for the authenticity of life that is followed by a whole range of moral obligations in relation to service to the community, the proclamation of the Word and the glorification of sacraments. Finally, relying on the speeches of Pope Francis, who spoke clearly and courageously about "diseases and medicines" of the Roman Curia, but also of all those who are completely devoted to God, the paper talks of concrete signs of drama in the priestly life, reality and expectations, ideals and struggle
Mistery of suffering. The evangelization challenge of hospital chaplaincy
No full textSve drastičnijim porastom neizlječivih bolesti, koje zahvaćaju velik dio suvremene populacije, javlja se i potreba intenzivnije prisutnosti bolničkog pastorala.
Iako je pojava teških bolesti oduvijek pratila čovjeka i zahtijevala prisutnost empatijske njege i duhovne snage, ovaj diplomski rad nastoji analizirati shvaćanje i prihvaćanje te psiho-somatske kušnje. U toj namjeri, polazi se od biblijskog poimanja patnje i smrti u Starome i Novome zavjetu, do suvremenog promišljanja koje zahvaća crkveni pastoral. On se provodi temeljem „Ugovora o dušobrižništvu u bolnicama i ostalim zdravstvenim ustanovama, te ustanovama socijalne skrbi“.
Iz Ugovora se u ovom radu izdvaja poseban naglasak na temu uloge bolničkog kapelana, zatim dušobrižništva bolesnih i ožalošćenih te medicinskog osoblja u kliničko-medicinskom kontekstu kao i dušobrižništvo u staračkim domovima, u župnim zajednicama te hospicijima.
Zahtjev provedbe crkvenog pastorala bolničkog dušobrižništva i neizostavne važnosti pomoći u trenutcima tjelesne i duševne boli «homo-patients», navodi se i kao imperativ brojnih crkvenih dokumenata, uz neizostavnu duhovnu podršku sakramenata bolesničkog pomazanja, svete ispovijedi i sakramentalnosti svete mise. U provedbi bolničkog dušobrižništva, neizostavna je uloga molitve te duboke duhovnosti kao onih datosti koje pojedincu pomažu da lakše prihvati i odvažno se suoči se sa teškom stvarnošću u kojoj se nalazi.With drastic increase of incurable diseases, which affects most of the contemporary population, we are witnessing the need for a more intensive presence of hospital pastoral care.
Even if the occurrence of severe illness has always followed man and required the presence of empathic care and spiritual strength, this thesis attempts to analyze the understanding and acceptance of that psycho-somatic temptation. It is based on the Bible's understanding of suffering and death in the Old and New Testament, to the contemporary reflection of the Church Pastoral activities. It is implemented on the basis of the "Agreement on hospital care in hospitals and other health facilities and social welfare institutions".
From this agreement, special emphasis is placed on the role of the hospital chaplain, followed by the care of sick and bereaved ones, and his dedication to medical personnel in the clinical and medical context, as well as the care of them in nursing homes, in parish communities and hospices.
The request for the implementation of the church pastoral care of hospital chaplaincy and it's inevitable important role in assisting nursing in the moments of physical and mental pain of the "homo-patients" is also referred as the imperative of numerous Church documents, with the inescapable spiritual support of sacraments of, the sacrament of patient anointing, of the holy confession and Eucharisty. In the implementation of hospital chaplaincy, it is inescapable role of the prayer and of the deep spirituality, which help individuals to accept this difficult reality, more easily
