The Paschal Mystery and the Christian Family
No full textA Christian family is a family imbued with belief in Jesus Christ, as professed within the fold of the Church. The actions, decisions and attitudes of such a family are based upon God's revelation, i.e. Jesus Christ and his paschal mystery. Through Jesus Christ, God entered the world of suffering. Sacrificing His Son on the cross, God proclaims Himself most compellingly. The cross is the symbol of God's historical gift of Himself to man and the expression of His unconditional commitment to the promise of man's salvation. God acts out of love, the free acceptance of love representing the most perfect form of freedom. God's suffering is therefore an expression of His freedom and love. God does not suffer due to some intrinsic imperfection, but freely allows suffering to touch Him for the sake of love. Suffering has its significance but it is love which imparts purpose and direction not only to suffering but to death. In a world permeated with egoism and the denial of divine love, there was no other choice but to appear in the likeness of a "man of sorrows". Love must pass through trial by fire in order to retain its essence. Since God is actus purus amoris, He can permit His Son to appear helpless without forfeiting His divine omnipotence.
In order to provide a background for understanding the consequences of the paschal mystery in Christian life, especially within the family, the author uses the articles of the Creed. He then presents seven assertions based on the actual condition of the Christian family as illuminated by the paschal mystery:
1) We humans do not gladly suffer the righteous among us. 2) God ultimately identifies with man, all the way to the extreme depths of suffering and absurdity. 3) Christ's cross conquers our intrinsic egoism as well as our ten¬dency to exalt ourselves at the expense of others; it provides the framework for genuine brotherly-sisterly life together. 4) Mutual human kindness, forgiveness and readiness for reconciliation derive from the cross as the "royal road" via which God "descended" into human history. 5) The death of Jesus negates all political claims of an absolutist nature. 6) He who believes in Jesus Christ does not die alone. 7) Happiness and joy in human life are signs and harbringers of the final bliss to which our Father calls us
Application of sustainability indicators for the evaluation and selection of robust organic-rich wastewater treatment technology for resource recovery
No full textThis research article was published by AIMS Bio engineering volume 11 2024A comparative study was conducted to compare the performance of waste stabilization
ponds (WSPs) with an upflow operation type advanced facultative pond integrated with constructed
wetland (AFP-CW) technologies. Our aim was to address gaps in economic, environmental, and social
aspects identified in traditional WSPs. Economic, environmental, and social sustainability indicators
were used in a mathematical model to select a sustainable technology for organic-rich wastewater
treatment for resource recovery. The results showed that for the AFP-CW, economic, environmental,
and social indicators were weighted at 10.18%, 51.11%, and 38.71%, respectively, while for WSPs,
the percentages were 14.55, 48.39, and 37.06, respectively. The composite sustainability indicator (CSI)
for AFP-CW was 42.14% and for WSPs was 39.27%, with the global sustainability indicator (GSi)
reaching 21.54% for AFP-CW and 18.88% for WSPs. A sensitivity analysis revealed that the
maximum global sustainability indicator was 22.34% for AFP-CW and 19.54% for WSPs. Overall, the
AFP-CW was considered a more sustainable technology for wastewater treatment, with lower
economic but higher environmental and social sustainability indicators compared to WSPs, which
showed higher economic but lower environmental and social sustainability indicators. The
sustainability of AFP-CW is supported by its small construction area, nutrient recovery in sludge,
biogas recovery, reduced global warming impact, as well as nutrient and water recycling for irrigation

No full textInternational audienceThis paper considers a course in philosophy entitled l'Esquisse de la vanité de l'homme. This course is attributed to Brother Paschal (Brother of Christian schools, 1728-1801) and it is kept in the Archives of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, in Rome. In 1786, a first report already underlined the necessity of teaching the young brothers, a philosophy of life and a philosophy of knowledge, from a natural theology angle. In this first text, philosophical education had a practical purpose, the forming of judgment (in the Cartesian sense) and the practice of virtues, what is not without reminding the Logique de Port-Royal. With l'Esquisse de la vanité de l'homme, we encounter a difficulty to understand what is the philosophy of knowledge on which Brother Paschal builds his philosophical thought. We assume that the assertions of this author about method, demonstration and true judgment refer to the Logique de Port-Royal. This hypothesis is confirmed by a fact: the examples of truth or false reasoning are directly derived from this work. With a Cartesian or even Malebranchist posture, this author gives greater place to the judgment in the meaning of link between the ideas and term of a methodical reasoning. In his opinion, it is the summit of the intellectual life, but this judgment shows itself in a practical activity. Thus, it is a whole program of life and action which Brother Paschal draws to his students.Cette communication envisage l'étude d'un cours de philosophie, l'Esquisse de la vanité de l'homme, attribué au Frère Paschal (Frère des écoles chrétiennes, 1728-1801) et il est conservé dans les Archives de l'Institut des Frères des Ecoles chrétiennes, à Rome. En 1786, un premier mémoire soulignait déjà la nécessité d'enseigner aux jeunes frères, une philosophie du vivant et une philosophie de la connaissance, situées dans une perspective de théologie naturelle. Dans ce premier texte, l'enseignement philosophique avait un but pratique (moral), la formation du jugement (au sens cartésien) et la pratique des vertus, ce qui n'est pas sans rappeler la Logique de Port-Royal. Dans l'Esquisse de la vanité de l'homme, le problème est de comprendre quelle est la philosophie de la connaissance sur laquelle Frère Paschal construit sa pensée philosophique. Notre hypothèse est que les propos de l'auteur sur la méthode, la démonstration et sur le jugement vrai renvoient à la Logique de Port-Royal. Cette hypothèse est corroborée par le fait que les exemples de vrais ou de faux raisonnements sont directement tirés de cet ouvrage. Avec une posture cartésienne, voire malebranchiste, cet auteur privilégie le jugement au sens de lien entre les idées et de terme d'un raisonnement méthodique. C'est pour lui le sommet de la vie intellectuelle, mais ce jugement se manifeste dans une activité pratique. C'est donc tout un programme de vie et d'action que le Frère Paschal trace à ses élèves

Coherence of Homilies and the Paschal Mystery. Analysis Based on Selected Texts of Stanisław Czerwik’s Preaching
No full textAchieving coherence in the communication is one of the key qualities of the homily. The creation of such an utterance requires a lot of efforts, including the use of a compositional principle that is as solid as possible. Such a criterion has managed to be indicated in the preaching of Stanisław Czerwik. The author not only built a recognisable construction in the form of the so-called ‘paschal principle’, but nevertheless maintained theological correctness in the ministry of the word. The article presents the results of an analysis conducted on 1,043 texts of published and unpublished homilies. In the first part, the paschal principle will be present in Cherwik’s homilies. In the second part, it will be analysed from the perspective of building the coherence of the speech.Osiągnięcie spójności w przekazie należy do kluczowych własności homilii. Stworzenie takiej wypowiedzi wymaga wielu zabiegów, m.in. posługiwania się możliwie trwałą zasadą kompozycyjną. Takie kryterium udało się wskazać w warsztacie przepowiadania Stanisława Czerwika. Autor nie tylko zbudował rozpoznawalną konstrukcję w postaci tzw. zasady paschalnej, niemniej zachował przy tym teologiczną poprawność w posłudze słowa. Artykuł przedstawia wyniki analizy przeprowadzonej na 1043 tekstach opublikowanych i nieopublikowanych homilii. W pierwszej części opisano obecną w warsztacie Czerwika paschalną zasadę w pracy nad homilią. W drugiej –oceniono ją w perspektywie budowania spójności wypowiedzi
