Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An internationally respected Roman Catholic leader on the mystery-sacrament of marriageMarriage and the family are at the forefront of the burning questions being debated by civil society and the church today. Cultural changes in our increasingly secularized society have dire consequences in the family sphere, requiring a Christian response that is faithful to the Church's tradition, says Marc Cardinal Ouellet.In Mystery and Sacrament of Love Ouellet clearly expounds a theology of marriage and the Catholic Church's understanding of the sacrament celebrated between spouses and God. Developed with influences from Pope Francis, the theological intuitions of Vatican II, the contributions of Saint John Paul II (the "pope of the family"), and the innovative thought of Hans Urs von Balthasar, Ouellet's study lays the foundations for a faithful resurgence of well-being for families in our contemporary day and age.

Download or read book The Nuptial Mystery written by Angelo Scola and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005-05-12 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translated by Michelle K. Borras The idea of love pervades our society, yet it is nearly impossible to answer the question What is love? especially as we witness the divorce of love from sexuality and of sexuality from procreation. Aware that many people today are skeptical about marriage, Angelo Cardinal Scola nevertheless suggests that only in the category of nuptial mystery do we find a way to adequately describe the phenomenon of love. A bright new leader in the Catholic Church, Cardinal Scola argues that the male-female relationship lies near the heart of what it means to bear the image of God. Scola's book explores the essential sexual differences that both separate and unite men and women, and it shows how men and women can realize their purpose in marriage or celibacy. Conversant with papal teaching and Catholic writers from Aquinas to von Balthasar, Cardinal Scola writes with a deep regard for marriage and the family. His Nuptial Mystery will leave readers with a thoroughly Christian appreciation for incarnate love.

Download or read book The Catholic Church written by Walter Kasper and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Kasper is already well-known and loved throughout the English-speaking world. He has held high office in the Vatican but until his recent retirement has felt constrained from publishing what he really thinks and his vision of the Church for the future. Kasper brings to conclusion a project that has been pursued for years, as it joins together his greatest monographs on the subject of God's teaching and Christology. The book covers three main topics: Nature, Reality and the Mission of the Church. The introductory section is autobiographical and the reader can see Kasper's personal and theological way in to and with the Church. He develops the actual ecclesiological exegesis - for Kasper the representation of the Being of the Church is not about empirical description, but rather a testimony of being. He emphasizes that nobody is able to apply the stereotypical and idealistic image of the heavens to the critical acknowledgement of the church's present. The program of the Church is ultimately not self-directed but rather remains oriented towards the finalization of the arrival of the kingdom of God and the spiritual healing of the human race.

Download or read book Gift and the Unity of Being written by Antonio Lopez and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting from both our originary experience of being given to ourselves and Jesus Christ's archetypal self-donation, 'Gift and the Unity of Being' elucidates the sense in which gift is the form of being's unity, while unity itself constitutes the permanence of the gift of being. In dialogue with ancient and modern philosophers and theologians, Lopez offers a synthetic, rather than systematic, account of the unity proper to being, the human person, God, and the relations among them. The book shows how contemplation of the triune God of love through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit allows us to discover the eternal communion that being is and to which finite being is called. It also illustrates the sense in which God's gratuitousness unexpectedly offers thehuman person the possibility to recognize and embrace his origin and destiny, and thus he is given to see and taste in God's light the ever-fruitful, dramatic, and mysterious positivity of being.

Book excerpt: "A new translation by an award winning translator rescues Goethe's collection of stories, modelled on the Decameron, from being out of print in English." "A family of German nobles have been forced from their home on the left bank of the Rhine by the French Revolution. Their peace is further disrupted by the arguments between the young Karl, a supporter of the ideals of the revolution, and the other men. The Baroness saves the family situation by suggesting they amuse each other by telling stories." "There are seven in all: two short ghost stories, two amorous anecdotes and two more substantial moral tales, the whole being concluded with Goethe's richly worked, fantastic, symbolic, allegorical 'Fairy Tale'."

This book was released on 2015-11-16T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non è molto comune, in ambito ecclesiale, affrontare l’argomento del talamo nuziale. Anche se molti lo confinano nell’ambito privato o lo considerano un tema off-limits, esso riveste un grande significato simbolico: rimanda infatti all’intimità come «luogo teologico» nel quale gli sposi, donandosi, sperimentano l’amore di Dio, lo rivivono in se stessi e celebrano il loro essere nel Signore. E tale è il senso della grazia del sacramento delle nozze, che rende l’uomo e la donna partecipi della nuzialità stessa di Cristo con la Chiesa in un cammino mistagogico trasfigurante che, dai primi gradini, orienta fino ai più alti vertici della mistica nuziale. Il gesto sessuale non è mai una realtà scontata o ovvia, ma sempre un dono colmo di bellezza, e la tenerezza come sentimento profondo, incanto e gioia di amare e di essere amati dà significato al desiderio sessuale e lo trasforma in forza di vita. La grazia del sacramento trasfigura la correlazione sessuata maschile-femminile e la rende carica di un’efficacia soprannaturale in grado di condurre l’amore nuziale fino alle stanze segrete dell' amore intra-trinitario.

Download or read book La mistica dell intimit nuziale written by Carlo Rocchetta and published by Edizioni Dehoniane Bologna. This book was released on 2019-06-05T16:10:00+02:00 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un gran numero di coppie vive l'intimità nuziale come un dato scontato, senza alcuna meraviglia o stupore. Al contrario, nell'esortazione post-sinodale Amoris laetitia papa Francesco ritiene che «vissuta in modo umano e santificata dal sacramento» essa sia «via di crescita nella vita della grazia». Il libro di Carlo Rocchetta si propone di fondare queste prospettive in termini teologici e di indicare percorsi di santità per la coppia, vivendo la vita coniugale in tutta la sua ricchezza sacramentale. L’analisi dell’autore permette di mostrare come l’intimità nuziale rappresenti un’attuazione della grazia del sacramento e come di conseguenza gli sposi siano chiamati a un itinerario di ordine mistico che trova la sua massima forma espressiva proprio nel vissuto della loro intimità.
