Francesco Pilloni: Paternità e maternita – itinerari spirituali

Studiul pleacă de la asemănarea care există între noi şi Dumnezeu, subliniind versetele din cartea Genezei (Gen 1,26-27). Din clipa creaţiei, Dumnezeu a pus în noi părţi din fiinţa şi misterul său, astfel încât vorbim despre analogia entis şi analogia mysterii. Însă şi paternitatea, şi maternitatea sunt un chip al misterului lui Dumnezeu în noi. Ele sunt darul bunătăţii lui Dumnezeu Tatăl, al iubirii sale originare şi gratuite, care necesită însă şi o colaborare din partea noastră. Studiul prezintă trei forme ale paternităţii şi ale maternităţii: prima formă se referă la a genera, a da naştere – naştem fii, devenind mamă şi tată; a două formă exprimă Providenţa divină: a îngriji, a purta de grijă; iar a treia formă este moartea – prin care relaţiile existente între creator şi creatură par să moară.

Petru Gherghel: Familia creştină, bastion al rezistenţei în faţa dictaturii şi a ateismului

Pornind de la fundamentele biblice ale familiei din Cartea Genezei şi din afirmaţiile lui Isus Cristos din evanghelii, precum şi din învăţătura sfântului Paul despre misterul căsătoriei, PS Petru Gherghel aminteşte câteva adevăruri ce stau la baza vieţii creştine şi care au fost un îndrumător în rezistenţa faţă de atacurile ideologiilor contrare voinţei divine. Fiind sanctuar al iubirii, familia a ştiut cel mai bine să opună rezistenţă invaziei roşii şi teribilei dictaturi comuniste dintre toate instituţiile bântuite de atacuri şi furtuni din acea perioadă. După 1989, pentru familia creştină a început un nou calvar prin asaltul atâtor probleme în cadrul acesteia. Din cauza problemelor sociale, spirituale, economice şi politice, astăzi se pierde din vedere grija faţă de unitatea familiei şi faţă de indisolubilitatea căsătoriei; de aceea, sunt necesare redescoperirea valorilor adevărate şi refacerea familiei, întrucât viitorul lumii depinde de familii adevărate şi creştine.

Iosif IACOB: Căsătoria, sacrament al noii alianţe

Documents of Vatican II as Lumen Gentium, Apostolicam Actuositatem, Sacrosanctum Concilium, and especially Gaudium et Spes highlight the interest that the Church manifests for the Sacrament of Matrimony, in the context of developments and new vision proposed by the present society (divorce, abortion, feminist movements etc.).The contemporary society, following a long and reinforced theological tradition of marriage, is called to implement into the family life of our times, the principles proposed by the gospel in order to live a married life “in Christ”.The biblical vision of the human person, the way the nature and the grace are perceived are points of departure and reference for a complex and objective view on the sacrament of marriage. The nature, the value, the effects and purposes of marriage proposed by the ecclesiastical tradition are fundamental aspects that give consistency to the consent of sacramental marriage.The conjugal morality has its ultimate foundation not in human laws but in the divine laws that man cannot change according to its own interests. The state, as representative and guardian of the community wellbeing, is charged with promoting the values and principles for the good of the family and implicitly of the society itself, whose basic unit is the family. In this regard the Council encourages the closeness between the values of the doctrine and the spirit of today’s society, as well as raising public awareness to doctrinal lasting values of faith. The personalist vision proposed by the council, as well as the vocation to holiness in married life, along with what love and procreation represents in a full and stable community of conjugal life corresponds to the values proposed by the Church as a sacramental reality of marriage, according to Christ’s will for the wellbeing of the person and all mankind.

Iosif Enăşoae: Credinţa creştină, fundamentul şi viaţa familiei creştine

In this article the author wants to prove that the base and the life of the Christian family is the Christian faith. In his presentation, the author starts from the premise that faith is an anthropological experience, an existential state which determinates its way of acting and thinking, just when it’s based in the natural truth. Then he carries further with the case of the Christian in today so-ciety, profoundly changed, in which he is invited to observe the belief, especially in the Year of Faith (2012-2013). In the same speech about faith, father I. Enăşoaie characterises faith as an encounter with Christ and a life transformation, but also an epiphany of God. After this decomposition, the author presents the case of the family, showing how faith is the base of the Christian family, the answer being a true faith indeed.
