Dobry Pasterz a pasterze Kościoła w Sermo 46 św. Augustyna

Sermo 46 of St. Augustine’s, offered for meditation in the 24th and 25th week of the Liturgy of the Hours, is entitled De pastoribus. The scriptural basis is constituted by the reading of Ez 34 : 1–16 where the prophet criticizes the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves and not their sheep, and announced the Lord’s promise to feed his people himself. Augustine, by using an actualizing, allegorical exegesis, develops his homily to describe a true Christian shepherd distinct from a mercenary. The latter only searches for his own interest and honour, symbolized by the sheep’s milk and wool. His selfish attitude causes damage: the strong sheep become weak, then sick and in the end are lost. For Augustine the scattering of the sheep signifies approaching heretic and schismatic groups. The bishop of Hippo disputes especially with the donatists. He emphasizes that Christ is the foundation of our salvation, the only Good Shepherd whose sheepfold is the Catholic Church throughout the world. The shepherds are good when they belong to that sheepfold, and following Christ they accomplish their mission to feed the sheep. The meaning of priesthood is indeed to serve God’s people by proclaiming the Word, distributing the Sacraments and promoting unity. The priest accomplishes Christ’s work and not his own. Therefore his responsibility is immense, since it deals with the eternal life to which God will welcome all those who faithfully served him.

“The Way of the Heart” in the Experience and Reflection of St. Augustine

In the writings of St. Augustine, the Latin word cor occurs more than 8,000 times, being one of the most important, though ambiguous, terms of his anthropology and spirituality. As a synonym for the inner man (homo interior) it encompasses the whole affective, intellectual, moral and religious life. In this sense, it is the privileged place for a personal encounter with God. The analysis of Augustine’s writings reveals a link between the concept of the Trinity and indications concerning the spiritual life of man. Reflections on the “heart” can be put into a kind of triptych: creation “in the image of God,” illumination by Christ, and dilatation by the Holy Spirit. The impact of God on the human heart should find its completion in a voluntarily adopted attitude of adoration, humility and love.

Koncepcja nieśmiertelności człowieka w argumentacji rezurekcyjnej Metodego z Olimpu

The foundation of the christian truth about the resurrection is the paschal event, ie the death and resurrection of Christ. However, the interpretation of this dogma is essentially linked to an anthropological vision, therefore the exegesis of biblical protology has a particular significance. At the start of the IVth century, Methodius of Olympus undertook an interesting trial to clarify the status of the first man. Namely, departing from the traditional concept of medietas, which placed Adam in an indeterminate balance between immortality and death, he favoured the idea, which can be called “principaliter (essential or original) immortality”. Thanks to this modification, the author of De resurrectione, gained an important point in resurrectional polemics. He thus presented death, not as an equivalent possibility linked with the original choice of man, but a consequence of his sin, certainly dra­matic, but secondary to God’s original plan. In this perspective, the resurrection of the body, and restoring it to immortality, appeared worthy and necessary, being the eschatic realisation of the Creator’s design, his who cannot err.

Topics concerning women’s physiology and reproduction appear relatively rarely in the reflections of the Fathers of the Church. Most often they perpetuated the beliefs of ancient medicine, benefitting from the appropriate terminology. The originality of their reflection lies in trying to use the “scientific” facts within theo­logical considerations (eg the creation of mankind and the Incarnation of the Son of God) and moral ones (eg the value of sexuality, fertility and parenthood). The scope of this article includes analysis of selected texts of Methodius of Olympus and those of Ambrose of Milan. Both authors had a deep medical knowledge of the issues and their works contain interesting examples related to female repro­ductive physiology. They were protagonists of an ideal of virginity, but yet, they preserved a positive assessment of fertility and marriage. Worthy of particular emphasis, in the works of Methodius, is the defense of the dignity of every unborn child, whom God himself creates and animates in the womb. The basis of the con­siderations in Symposium was a passage from Genesis 2: 21-24, to which he gave allegorical meaning, defining human sexuality and procreation as the typology of the divine and ecclesiastical realities. In turn, Ambrose undertook issues such as conception, prenatal development and the birth of a child, in the context of the exceptional role of Mary in the history of salvation and in the Incarnation of the Son of God. Theological considerations were an excellent opportunity for him to express moral teaching and pastoral care, and to provide very practical and help­ful, medical and educational tips for women.

La difesa dell’identità del corpo risorto con quello terreno nel De resurrectione di Metodio di Olimpo

Methodius’ Discourse on the Resurrection (De resurrectione) is an exten­sive and profound presentation of the ecclesiastic understanding of this dogma in the context of the dissent towards certain opinions of Origen, and Platonic currents in Christianity. At the onset of the IV century, one of the central theo­logical problems lay in demonstrating the rationality of the conceptualisation of “the resurrection of the flesh”, as well as a detailed explanation of its essence. The aim of this article is to indicate and describe those elements acknowledged by Methodius as necessary and constitutive for the orthodox understanding of the dogma. A further aim is an analysis of the application of his argumentations, focused on evidencing the identity of the resurrected body in respect of the earthly one, in both matter and form. The article also attempts to understand the essential motivations which induced the bishop of Olympus to address the very complex issue of resurrection during the Diocletianic persecutions. In light of earlier studies, an evaluation of the argumentations of the author of De resur­rectione is proposed, in the context of the doctrinal debates of his times.

Dialog Metodego O zmartwychwstaniu (De resurrectione) jest obszernym i po­głębionym przedstawieniem kościelnego rozumienia tego dogmatu w kontekście polemiki z niektórymi poglądami Orygenesa i platonizujących nurtów w chrześ­cijaństwie. W początkach IV w., jednym z kluczowych problemów teologicznych było wykazanie racjonalności formuły „zmartwychwstanie ciała” oraz szczegó­łowe wyjaśnienie jej treści. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie i opisanie elementów, uznanych przez Metodego za konieczne i konstytutywne dla prawowiernego ro­zumienia dogmatu oraz analiza zastosowanej przez niego argumentacji, ukierun­kowanej na wykazanie tożsamości ciała zmartwychwstałego z ziemskim, tak co do materii, jak i formy. W artykule podjęta też została próba zrozumienia zasadni­czych motywacji, które w okresie prześladowań Dioklecjańskich skłoniły bisku­pa Olimpu do zajęcia się w sposób tak kompleksowy kwestią zmartwychwstania. W świetle dotychczasowych studiów zaproponowana też została ocena argumen­tacji autora De resurrectione w kontekście doktrynalnej polemiki w jego czasach.

Walka dobra ze złem w "Liście" Pseudo-Barnaby

The struggle between good and evil is one of the main subjects of the Epistle of Pseudo-Barnabas, which originated between 70 and 130, thus, in the period when apocalyptic literature was flourishing. The latter’s impact on the Epistle is undeniable, and is expressed in the characteristic approach of the present time as the „last days” marked by intense activity of evil forces. Even though the out­come of God’s struggle with Satan has already been decided by the victory of Jesus Christ on the cross, still it is ongoing, and at different levels. For Pseudo- Barnabas, two areas of this confrontation are of utmost importance: the ortho­doxy of faith and morality of life. The first issue is treated very broadly (chapters I-XVII), and its essence is to convince the readers of the Letter of the saving exclusivism of Christianity. The author radically opposes Judaism, considering all its laws and institutions in their historical implementation (e.g. sacrifices, fasting, Sabbath, temple, ritual ordinances) as the result of both the incorrect (physical) interpretation of the inspired Scriptures and submission to Satan’s insidious work. The only people of the Covenant are those who have believed in Jesus Christ and were immersed in the water of baptism. The other area of the still ongoing strug­gle is the heart of a Christian who, at any time, has to choose between the way of life and the way of death (chapters XVIII-XX). The final manifestation of Christ’s victory over evil will happen at His second coming, when He will put an end to the „times of the Wicked” and will bring into His Kingdom all the Christians faithful to His teaching.

La dimostrazione dell'idoneita della came all'esistenza incorruttibile ed eterna costituisce uno dei cardini della difesa del dogma della risurrezione tradizionalmente inteso. L’obiettivo dell'articolo (II corpo umano e l’immortalita) e di presentare l’argomentazione svolta in favore di essa da Metodio di Olimpo nel De resurrectione II 19-25 (GCS 27, 371-382). L’autore rievoca alcuni esempi presi dal mondo della natura (botanico, zoologico, astronomico), dal campo artistico e dalia storia biblica non solo per ilłustrare la possibile longevita dei corpi nell'esistenza terrena, ma anche per provare che Dio, plasmatore del corpo, ha destinato l’uomo all'immortalita. Applicare il principio dell'onnipotenza divina alla risurrezione della carne non costituisce per Metodio una scappatoia insensata, ma un tentativo di assumere, entro i confini di una razionalita alimentata dai dati della fede cristiana, un elemento che, seppur comprensibile per la ragione, tuttavia la supera.
