Wezwanie do chrześcijańskiej miłości i jej uwarunkowania
Rosik, Seweryn (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 1983)
In the present study the author points out an innate and specifically human developmental tendency. The entire dynamism of man’s existence is directed towards an increasing personal fullness. The process is essentially motivated by man’s recognition of the sense of his life, his position in the history of salvation and the positive command of greatness given by God, who is the source of all existential and moral fullness. In this approach, conscience appears to be the subjective indicator of personal growth. The author analyzes the concept of personal “self” denoted by the biblical term “heart”, the structure, function and development of conscience, and places it on the foundation of an objective measure of truly human greatness. Rejecting minimalistic scepticism about the value of moral order, he finds a steady and immovable support in objective moral law as the law of specifically human development. In the realization of full Christianity certain conditions must be met, however, which make it both intensive and strictly supernatural. The conditions are: freedom as participation in the freedom of God, love as participation in the love of the Trinity and fidelity as imitation of the Divine Saviour.
