Rozwój duchowy osoby w nauczaniu św. Elżbiety od Trójcy Świętej
Miczyński, Jan Krzysztof (Towarzystwo Naukowe Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego Jana Pawła II, 2020)
This study entitled “Spiritual Development of the Person in the Teaching of St. Elizabeth of the Holy Trinity” presents the path described by the Carmelite nun of Dijon (living in 1880–1906) to the sanctity of the justified man in whom the Holy Trinity resides. This issue, which in worldly life is an extraordinary Mystery, has been the subject of lively theological discussions since the first centuries of Christianity. Speculative considerations are complemented by mysticism. The process of human personalization is closely connected with spiritual life, understood as “life according to the Spirit” (see Rom. 8:9; Gal. 5:25), as participation in the life of God, as a common existence with Jesus Christ (suffering with Him, co-dying, co-resurrection). The limit of this development is the attainment of the likeness to God intended by the Creator ‒ being fully imago Trinitatis. The theological analysis contained in this work focuses not so much on the chronological presentation of the development of the doctrine of the Saint Carmelite nun, but on the dogmatic and theological-spiritual content of its message. It is based on a methodological triad – description, explanation and understanding ‒ leading to an exposition of the dynamics of human development, to its final fulfillment in the Communion of God’s Persons. In Elizabeth’s doctrine, one can see peculiar “symmetries” referring to the spiritual life of man:
– the pre-existence of Christ ‒ and the vocation for all persons created “to exist in Him”;
– the redemptive dimension of Christ’s Passover ‒ and the Christian’s Paschal life;
– Christ’s indwelling with the entire Holy Trinity in the justified man ‒ and man’s indwelling in God;
– the “incarnation” of man in Christ (the creation of his mystical body, or incorporation into the Church) ‒ and the “incarnation” of Christ in man;
– Jesus Christ as a Communion being food for man ‒ and man becoming “food” for Christ.
In all these theological and spiritual truths, Elizabeth would point out God’s love as the cause, purpose, principle and meaning. The picture of the relationship between man and God outlined by the Carmelite nun is dynamic. The Savior is not a static person, someone who has done the work of redemption, and merely expects the right answer from man. The Carmelite nun shows continuous salvific actions of Christ. Thanks to Him, the created person achieves their proper and full shape. Elizabeth describes Jesus Christ with many “names”, and shows that the Son of God ‒ together with the entire Holy Trinity ‒ leads man to the fullness of existence; He models in man the “world” that is:
– mental ‒ self-conscious, rational one;
– voluntary ‒ one of creative work, striving for full freedom, right decisions;
– affectionate ‒ one of shaping loving communion with God, with other creatures, with the whole world and the cosmos;
– moral ‒ one of righteousness;
– admiration of the beauty of the other person ‒ the beauty of God. One cannot think of anything more beautiful than God-human-Jesus Christ. He is the way to the Eternal Glory of the Father, to Infinity. The human, having life from the Holy Spirit (cf. Gal. 5:25) and being with Him who is the “Beginning and the End” (Rev. 21:6), is ultimately fulfilled in the Father’s eternal Love ‒ the Love that leads to the Resurrection and the New Beauty of Reality.
Heroism of the Theological Virtues: Faith, Hope and Love in the Light of the Beatification Process of the Servant of God, Rev. Aleksander Woźny
Mueller, Wojciech (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2022)
The aim of this study is to present the heroic character of theological virtues in the light of the beatification process of Rev. Aleksander Woźny, launched on January 25, 2014 in the Archdiocese of Poznań. The whole Positio super vita, virtutibus et fama sanctitatis. Posnaniesis beatificationis et canonisationis Servi Dei Alexandri Woźny sacerdotis dioecesiani (1910-1983) was elaborated to provide an objective judgment of theological consultors, and subsequently, of the ordinary congregation of cardinals and bishops of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints. The wealth of available sources concerning the candidate for the altars in the form of his teaching, letters and memories allowed to pose the question whether in the life and teaching of Rev. Aleksander Woźny, the practice of faith, hope and love towards God and towards one’s neighbour was proven to be heroic, and therefore whether it is possible to form an opinion about the sanctity of the Servant of God. This study presents the theological virtues that the Servant of God excelled in in his life. The above research problem was elaborated on the basis of substantive study and thorough analysis of the collected documentation, which is reflected in this article.
The Church in the Face of the Challenges of the Post-Pandemic Era
Wyszowadzki, Władysław (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2022)
The purpose of the research is to analyze the situation of the Church and pastoral care in the post-pandemic reality. The experience of the 2020-2022 period shows that there has been a strengthening of the faith attitudes of Catholics actively participating in the life of the Church. At the same time, the weaker sides of pastoral care, resulting from confrontation with the media world, have shown themselves. This calls for using the experience of people of science, medicine, bioethics, psychology in the pastoral model. Pastoral activity should also value sacramental pastoral care with the Eucharist at the center. New challenges also face pastoral theology, whose research results can be used to seek new ways of carrying out salvific mission and evangelization.
Racism in the Twentieth Century in the Light of Church Teaching. Discussion of the Most Important Definitions and a New Interpretation of the Phenomenon
Walewski, Piotr (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2022)
The paper undertakes the topic of racism and its moral evaluation by the Church’s Magisterium. It begins with an inductive study which consists in a lexical analysis of selected texts of the Church’s Magisterium and papal encyclicals aimed at tracing the topics of race and racism. The study has shown that although not numerous, the documents addressing this issue are very significant. The paper additionally reviews selected definitions of racism. Finally, the author makes an attempt to interpret the phenomenon of racism and provides a theological proposal to overcome this problem in a theoretical and definitional sense. The article is a contribution to further research and exploration.
Ecclesiality and Human Socialization in the Aspect of Applied Theology
Przybyłowski, Jan Kazimierz (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2022)
Applied theology is the scientific reflection on the daily “growth” of man, who lives every day in the world and there fulfils himself and realizes his existential vocation, and Christians build the Kingdom of God. From the perspective of applied theology, three main principles can be distinguished that link ecclesiology and socialization: respect for truth, social justice and charity. In applied theology, it is possible to undertake scientific reflection on ecclesiology without violating pastoral theology’s right to study the Church and its salvific mission. However, in the search for knowledge about the dimensions of human social life, authoritarian and abstract universalism should be avoided.
