In this article, I claim that emotions, as we understand the term today, have a more prominent role in the moral life described by Thomas Aquinas than has been traditionally thought. First, clarity is needed about what exactly the emotions are in Aquinas. Second, clarity is needed about true virtue: specifically, about the relationship of acquired virtue to infused, supernatural virtues. Given a fuller understanding of both these things, I claim that emotions are not only auxiliary to the life of flourishing, specifically with regard to moral motivation and morally relevant knowledge. In fact, at the highest stage of moral development, emotions have a more prominent role than at lower stages. Pointing this out helps us to resist over-intellectualizing interpretations of Aquinas’s moral philosophy.

Every concept of the man involves a definite vision of hope. The modern times have brought discredit to hopes based on anthropocentrism, relativism, rationalism, empiricism and skepticism. Also the Church's traditional teaching defining this virtue statically and individualistically seems insufficient today. In a revival of reflection on hope, like in a revival of the whole investigation into virtues, it proves useful to reach for the principles of Christian personalism. In the light of this kind of reflection on man hope is seen not as waiting passively for happiness that is not closely defined, but as a person's fully involved participation in making it real. This kind of a man's involvement in his future is adequate to his dignity. Since God-Person guarantees this dignity, it can be said that the hope of a person is the very Person.

This essay considers man’s perennial search for the meaning of life, specifically in its philosophical (Aristotelian) formulation namely as the pursuit of happiness, and how Christianity radically redefined the issue. Jacques Maritain began his philosophical analysis on the basis of Aristotle’s analysis because he regards Aristotle’s position as the finest fruit of reason even though it fails. Maritain’s analysis supplements Aristotle’s with man’s experience of the Incarnation and the Christian’s experience of faith, hope, and charity. Jesus promised the good thief “Today thou shalt be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43) and thereby identified God as man’s objective end. Jacques Maritain’s reflection employs rational concepts drawn from reason and theological concepts taken from theology, adequately considered the issue, and constitutes a Christian philosophical treatment of the end of man.

The author of this article shows two types of values that are present in those pronouncements when the Pope recalls examples from belles­lettres. First and foremost, he speaks of the humanistic values rooted in the philosophy of the essence, namely the truth, goodness and beauty that are widely found in works of both less and more well-known authors of different nations. The aforementioned values, having a transcendent backdrop, open up the theological world. Some of those references unveil the three theological virtues which actually represent Christian axiology. For the Pope, the belles­lettres works become locus theologicus. In his pronouncements, the Pope not only mentions various authors from the particular nations he visited (e.g. Rabindranath Tagore from India, Jon Svensson from Island), but also those authors whose works now belong to the whole world (such as Fyodor Dostoyevsky, mentioned in Australia, or St. Augustine in France and Brazil). Recalling those authors and their works, the Pope connected with those nations he visited, and created a special place in order to bring to those nations the greatest works of world literature. He was adamant that humanistic and theological values can be placed equally next to each other.

Autorka artykułu przedstawia dwa rodzaje wartości, jakie są obecne w tych wypowiedziach Papieża, w których przywołuje on literaturę piękną. Są to najpierw wartości humanistyczne zakorzenione w filozofii bytu: prawda, dobro, piękno, o których piszą mniej i bardziej znani twórcy różnych narodów. Wartości te otwarte na wymiar transcendentny otwierają horyzont teologiczny. Niektóre odwołania do literatury odsłaniają trzy cnoty teologalne, które reprezentują chrześcijańską aksjologię. Dzieła literackie stanowią dla Papieża locus theologicus. W jego wypowiedziach znajduje się miejsce dla autorów reprezentujących narody, które odwiedza (np. Rabindrmath Tagore w Indiach, Jon Svensson w Islandii), a także dla twórców, których dzieła należą do bogactwa kultury światowej i były cytowane poza ich krajem (np. Fiodor Dostojewski w Austrii, św. Augustyn we Francji i Brazylii). Papież, odwołując się do tych dwóch rodzajów literatury, nawiązuje kontakt z kulturą narodów, które odwiedzał, oraz przybliża im kulturę światową. Przekonuje o możliwym spotkaniu wartości humanistycznych i teologicznych.

The mystery of the Holy Trinity is not only the most profound truth in the Christian faith, but also the foundation of Christian spiritual life. This life in its essence appears as participation in the life of God Himself – of the Holy Trinity. The present article is an illustration of its kind of this truth; the illustration is based on Sister Roberta Babiak's spiritual experience. Sister Roberta Babiak is a Polish mystic who lived in the first half of the 20th century. She experienced the presence of the Holy Trinity, especially while receiving the Eucharist. Receiving the Eucharist Christ was for her entering a direct salutary relation with the Holy Trinity, as result of which she participated in a peculiar exchange of love between her and God. In Sister Roberta's life, in her unification with God perceived as the Trinity, also theological virtues played an important role. From the possibility of the Holy Trinity taking up residence in man his supernatural dignity results; and the very presence of Triune God in him contributes to his divinization.
