Hot Men Public Shower

30a. session. The Letters of St. Paul

Author: P Antonio Rivero LC known for the many letters of that period are preserved. This allows you to see that Paul took the form of his own time. Introduced, however, some significant changes, which resulted in his letters belonging to religious literature.


II. DOCTRINAL OBJECTIVE: know the core of Paul's thought.
III. LIVING OBJECTIVE:
Read and meditate on the letters of St. Paul, to make life of our life.

IV. THESIS:
St. Paul wrote the most famous fourteen letters that exist in the world and summarizes them all that the Catholic Church teaches about of faith and morals. They have two parts: a dogmatic

, ie truths of faith and other moral ,

ie, rules of good practice. The longest and doctrinal he wrote to the Christians of Rome. The shortest, Philemon. The most exciting and strong are the two that he wrote to the Corinthians, correcting some mistakes. The highest and most difficult is to the Ephesians. The most loving, Philippians. The last letters were written from prison, addressed to Timothy and Titus. The first letter to the Thessalonians has the distinction of being the first letter of the NT, it was written before the Gospels. All cards have the author, or directly to Paul, or disciples who heard directly from Paul.


V. EXPLANATION OF THE THESIS:

A) LETTERS kerygmatic: 1 and 2 Thessalonians (years 50-51) 1. situation of the Church:
is a flourishing community sufficiently organized, strong in faith, hope and charity, despite the continuous persecution from their fellow citizens and Jews. Problems: what will become of the dead surprised by death before the glorious return of Jesus Christ? When will this coming?

2.
theological and spiritual content:





The first: addressed words of encouragement and consolation, I remember the deal and the anxieties of his preaching and his work, tries to correct some misconceptions about the imminent coming of the Lord , speaks of purity, of labor, the fate of the dead, surveillance.


The second: specifies the doctrine of the Parousia, saying it is not imminent, and therefore we must continue working, building the earthly city and not get caught in the nets of a sterile religious parasitism.


3. Style: notice the naturalness and simplicity, and the parenthetical tone, ie as hortatory and notices. B) BIG LETTERS: To the Corinthians, Galatians, Romans


* To the Galatians:


1.
situation of the Church:
The Galatians were a people of Celtic origin, related to the tribes of ancient Gaul. From Europe settled in central Asia Minor, now Turkey, and were subdued by the Romans in 180 BC Galatia was in serious crisis of Christian identity, brought from outside by some preachers gospel that challenged the validity and legitimacy of the Gospel made by Paul, liar and accused of preaching a gospel maimed, to be a mini-apostle. These agitators said that the true gospel is king faithfully observe the law of Moses, including the rite of circumcision. Hence the tone of Paul in this letter is polemical, even aggressive in parts.
2.
Scheme and division:
three well defined sections:

A section
  • historical apologetics in which Paul claimed its rightful status as an apostle (1-2).

    A doctrinal section,
  • which shows that true salvation comes from God through Christ accepted by faith.

  • And a hortatory section,
    where states what should be the attitude of man freed by Christ, as opposed to man after the flesh.
    3. theological and spiritual content:



    Human salvation (justification) comes from God, through Jesus Christ dead and risen. The law does not save.


    Man belongs to accept, believing that Jesus Christ is the only savior.
    This faith, not only intellectual assent, but above all love. Only then the man will become a new man and free.
    This new man, recreated by God in the image of Jesus Christ will be able to overcome sin and death, causing the old man.

    4.
    Style: is perhaps the most genuine letter of Paul, for his biographical data, tone, style and ideas. Makes use of historical references, personal references, quotations from Scripture, exegetical procedures characteristic of the rabbinical schools, summoned personal barbs. Apostrophizes curses and violence, complains without human respect, asked softly. The heat of the controversy generated a beautiful mess and lack of structure in the letter. This letter has been a stumbling block and a sign of contradiction. Protestants hailed as the flag to criticize all laws and regulations has been given the Church, because "the law does not count," says Paul. To fully understand Paul's message must be read well the entire set of cards. Here, Paul simply puts us alert to not fall into legalism formulaic, empty and Pharisee, without love. But the Church does not fall into that: its laws and regulations are motivated by love. Therefore, our faith must be accompanied by works of love.

    * First Corinthians:
  • 1.
    situation of the Church:
  • Corinth was famous as a commercial center, sports and culture, and as a place where there were all kinds appointment of religious cults: Greek gods, Roman and Oriental. In particular had become famous temple of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, in whose room was exercised without any hindrance sacred prostitution. All this had become a city of Corinth in a cheerful and wild life, prone to all sorts of excesses, in particular sexual. This disturbed the young Christian community, which in no way wanted to give these excesses dishonest. No community Paul caused many headaches as Corinth. These letters reflect the face of the first Christian community: challenges, tensions, discord, jealousy, envy, rivalry, problems, sins, etc. But the joy of the Spirit, the outpouring of gifts, the personal satisfaction of Christian love that transcends all social and economic barriers.
  • 2. Outline of the letter: no specific schema:


    Greeting and thanksgiving (1 Cor 1, 1-9). Divisions in the community (1 Cor 1, 10 - 4, 21)

  • Disorders community (1 Cor 5, 1-6 - 6, 20)

  • Specific problems (1 Cor 7-11): celibacy, virginity, marriage.

  • Problems in liturgical celebrations (1 Cor 11-14)

  • The resurrection of the dead (1 Cor 15)


  • Conclusion (1 Cor 16).
    3. theological and spiritual content:



    Given the division created, Paul proclaims the true wisdom of God, revealed in the mystery of the cross of Jesus Christ. Before
    sexual disorders, Paul recalls that the creature is a baptized Christian new temple of God. Proposed values \u200b\u200bof celibacy and marriage, as two paths that God offers us to reach holiness. Paul extols the value of celibacy and virginity.
    face of other issues (meat sacrificed to pagan feasts assistance, multiplicity of charisms ...), Paul expounds the lesson of practical ecclesiology, remembering that we are all part of the Church and we seek what is useful community, motivated by love.

    incredible view of the degeneration which had come liturgical assemblies in which they celebrated the Lord's Supper, Paul makes a great teaching on the Eucharist and how celebrated and received with dignity and in a state of grace in the soul. Given the reluctance of some to accept the resurrection of the dead, Paul is a reflection on eschatology: the resurrection of Christ guarantees our resurrection.

  • 4.
    Style:
  • writes in a serene and focused. Therefore, his style is clean and vigorous. A variety of colors: simplicity, density, irony, sarcasm, explosions of anger or affection.

  • * Second Letter to the Corinthians:

  • 1.
  • situation of the Church:
  • few had come from Jerusalem and arrived in Corinth rejected the authority of Paul, who filled with insults, accusations and slander. Paul had to urgently remedy this situation, coming to the defense of his ministry and his apostolic vocation.

  • 2.
    Scheme and division:

    More than a letter are different cards: Greeting and thanksgiving (2 Cor 1, 1-11).

  • The apostolic ministry (2 Cor 1, 12, 7, 16).

  • Collection for the poor churches of Judea (2 Cor 8-9).

  • Defense Paul (2 Cor 10-12).

  • Conclusion (2 Cor 13).

  • 3.
    theological and spiritual content:

    Deepens in apostolic ministry with its grandeur and misery, with its splendor and its weight, its risks and rewards. He states that his ministry received from Jesus Christ, who called him free to be the apostle to the Gentiles.


    solidarity between the different Christian communities.

    4. Style : is a letter we can see the human and Paul's apostolic


    115. The style is a reflection of a mind in turmoil. The emotion is steals clearly written expression, with each step we encounter obscure allusions, complex grammatical constructions and disconcerting interruptions in their thoughts. But the passion with which it is written and naked sincerity, loyalty and moving it conveys, giving it a unique beauty with which the reader can not ignore.

    * Letter to the Romans
  • :

  • 1. Situation of the Church

  • : is a community that Paul did not found, therefore, is more diplomatic. Probably Jews from Palestine, where they had converted to Christianity, were the initiators of the community Christian Rome. Since the Emperor Claudius expelled all Jews from Rome, by conflict between Jews and Jewish Christians such strictly in Rome were only Christians of pagan origin, ie Romans converted to Christianity. More than anything else, Paul presents the key ideas of his Gospel, especially the more controversial and more likely to create difficulties within the nascent Christian communities.

  • 2.
    Scheme and division:



  • Introduction (Rom 1, 1-15). Section doctrine (Rom 1-11)

  • hortatory section (Rom 12-15)

  • concluding section (Rom 15-16).



  • 3. theological and spiritual content: theological content: the saving power of God works in man through faith in Jesus Christ. It is the whole doctrine of justification or salvation from Christ, who liberates us from sin. Jesus offers us salvation and man, by faith, accept this salvation, and become open to that salvation.

    The most precious fruit of salvation is the supernatural life that is, participation in the intimate life of the three divine Persons, whose work of art is the sanctification of our souls and the creation of the new man in us.
    God's saving project will also reach the people of Israel.

    4. Style
    : homiletic style prevails or doctrinal theological exposition of the subject, interspersed with exhortations. Mix well liturgical style, hymns, and rabbinic show diatribe or controversy.

    C) LETTERS OF THE CAPTIVITY: Philippians, Colossians, Philemon, Ephesians

    Between 58 and 63, Paul spends four years in prison, first in Palestine and then in Rome. Have time to meditate and deepen the mystery of Christ and the Church.

  • * Letter to the Philippians:

  • 1.
    situation of the Church:
  • Philippians is addressed along with Philemon, the most familiar and confidential letter of the Pauline letters. It is the letter of the friend is in trouble with the friends who never for a moment have forgotten him and have tried to help with all means at their disposal. It is a letter from a grateful heart and also worried, because also in that community are emerging disagreements and misunderstandings. Philippi also seem to have been a few preachers Judaizers can seriously threaten the evangelizing of Paul, as had happened in the communities of Galatia.


    2. Scheme and division: this is the scheme

    · Paul and the community of Philippi (1-2): news, projects.
  • · Urge against Judaizing preachers in Philippi (3)
  • · Invitation to the joy and gratitude for the assistance received (4)
  • 3.
  • theological and spiritual content:

  • · Invitation constant joy, even with the prospect of death.
    • The concern for the spiritual growth and for harmony and unity of the community.
    · Role centrality of Christ in the history of salvation and supreme model of Christian at all and everything. 4.
    Style:

    is a personal letter, attentive, warm and tender. Look no systematic doctrine. Use the call, referring to past and present.

    * Letter to the Colossians



    1. situation of the Church in Colossae
    was a considerable Christian community, composed mostly of people converted from paganism. But should have a good number of Judeo-Christian, as is clear from problems mentioned in the same letter. Among the Christians of Colossae were some who taught highly dangerous errors, which embraced elements of Christians, Jews and pagans
    . What were these mistakes?


    Judaizing tendencies: Jewish converts to Christianity were trying to force everyone to circumcision, Sabbath observance, the abstinence from certain foods.


    excessive Worship

    the angels to make them a god.

    rigid asceticism:
    purification, abstinence from food, etc..



    2.
    Scheme and division:

    Introduction


    dogmatic party
    (1-2): supremacy of Christ in Creation and Redemption. moral or hortatory Party

    (3): encouraged to firmness in the faith against errors, and support of his Christian life on the resurrection of Christ.
  • Conclusion:
    3.
  • theological and spiritual content:

  • Christological hymn: Paul makes a more developed theology of Jesus, seeing it as the center of the universe, the firstborn of all creation and redemption, and head of the Church. Christ is presented as the "Son of love." It reiterates the relationship between Him and all , with obvious polemical against Gnosticism who despised the material world and attached to another operator.


    Later Paul presents Christ as "head of the body"
    which is the Church. The Church, therefore, is presented as
  • Mystical Body,

  • having a head and received Christ from him vital momentum and is the Bride of Christ. Christ is the head of the body, because it is the first resurrection: the first to revive and resuscitate him on the other, to brief them on his death and resurrection through baptism.
  • Paul in the letter attacks asceticism and the cult of intermediate beings
  • proposing new teachers. They expect that certain practices will achieve salvation. But Paul makes it clear that salvation will come only if we are united to the head that is Christ.
  • As requirement of baptism and union with Christ the head of the baptized Christian must be
  • new man and give the old man to regain the image of the Creator. A table indicates the relative moral moral obligations of each of the members of the family.


    4. Style: multiplication of synonyms, add-ins that occur in cascade. Pauline Vocabulary: head, body, mystery, wholeness, wisdom, wealth, knowledge, cosmic powers. Influence of the wisdom literature.

  • * Letter to Philemon 1. Status Philemon Philemon
    is a wealthy Christian of Colossae, cattle Paul and the gospel for some time who has escaped a slave named Onesimus. The slave is now with Paul, that would keep him close to each other. Knows that assist reasons for this, but does not force the issue, and with great delicacy leaves the decision in the hands of Philemon own. He returns to the slave, which makes this beautiful letter carrier.
  • 2. Scheme and division: no scheme, it is very short. Paul gives thanks, interceding for Onesimus and says goodbye. 3.
    theological and spiritual content:
  • the issue is slavery, which was accepted in that society Greco-Roman, but was at odds with the message of Christ. Paul does not directly address the problem, but simply exhibits an unsurpassed master of the Christian principles that Philemon must take the consequences. The main idea is this: we are all equal before God.
  • 4. Style:

    is very simple and friendly. Is the shortest letter in the New Testament.
  • * Ephesians (years 62-63)

    1.
    situation of the Church: Ephesus, capital of the Roman province of Asia, was located on the west coast of the peninsula of Asia Minor. His major port and its large population it did in Paul's a very flourishing city. It is addressed to Christians of the second generation, which have been dazzled by some pagan philosophies

    and need someone to help them deepen the mystery of Christ. There is division, permissiveness and attraction of the pagan world.

    2.
    Scheme and division:

    A greeting.
    doctrinal and theological Party

    (1-3): Christ and the Church.
    moral and hortatory Party

    (4-6): invitación a la unidad y deberes del propio estado.
    Conclusión

    3.
    Contenido teológico-espiritual :

    La acción del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo en el plan de la Salvación. El Padre nos elige para ser sus hijos. El Hijo nos obtiene la redención con su sangre. El Espíritu Santo nos sella y es la garantía de nuestra herencia. Entona un himno sobre el Plan salvador de Dios: a todos –judíos y paganos- nos ha llamado Dios a ser santos e irreprochables en el amor, hacernos hijos suyos, redimirnos en Cristo y darnos la fuerza del Espíritu. In the history of salvation, Jesus Christ is the center. The salvation that Christ has brought is a free gift


    Unity of the Church as the body of Christ. The Church is the place where discrimination disappears, "I'm Jewish, I am pagan, where no particular or privileged racial, religious, cultural or social, where unity is not uniformity and passivity, but dynamics and collaboration. Christ has broken down the wall of the Act that formerly separated Jews and Gentiles.


  • Exhortation to new life in Christ.
  • program shows a Christian life for all and children and parents are reminded the duties of the fourth commandment of God's law. Invites us to renew ourselves in Christ, imitate the love of Christ, to walk as children of light. To this end, Paul gives us weapons to fight enemies: the shield of faith, helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit. Describing the relations between the spouses displayed the basic elements that will serve the Church to begin the discussion will conclude with the definition of the sacrament of marriage : the relationship between the union of the spouses and the union of Christ with the Church . This great mystery which flows higher sanctification of marriage, shows sacred, and prohibiting consider it a purely civil contract, subject to the fluctuation of wills. So the Church does not recognize the civil and legal marriage bond for the Christian.
  • 4. Style: looks like a circular letter, like a theological lecture aimed at the entire Christian church, not just to the Ephesians. On the doctrinal and dogmatic style is solemn note, redundant phrases deep, large images, and thoughts do not sort of gradually. On the moral is clear, precise and as mandatory or hortatory.


  • D) Pastoral Letter: Timothy and Titus
    1. Why
    called pastoral letters?
  • pastoral are called because they are addressed to two great pastors, associates of Paul, and because they address the role and standards of the shepherds, that is, those who maintain the unity and faith within a particular church, begins to be structured.
    2.
    What year were written?
  • The letters belong to the final day of the first century Are possibly a disciple who, after Paul's death, makes him speak in new situations that were created in communities.

    3.
  • What problems arose in the churches to which the pastoral letters are addressed?
  • doctors practiced and taught false doctrines of Judaizing Gnostic character, which had become a serious danger, given the insistence with which the letters were mentioned. does not appear fervor and enthusiasm of the believers of Paul's time, but that Christians have become mediocre and conformist.


    He was also the need for local church leaders that would ensure the deposit of faith that Timothy and Titus had received from Paul. 4.
    Why are so important pastoral letters?



    They keep alive the legacy of Paul, as were currents that wanted a kind of return to Judaism.

    defend the genuineness of the Gospel, to avoid becoming diluted in a kind of esoteric and sectarian intimacy, which evaded the world's problems, seeking pure spiritual inwardness, and a dualistic view of the world (Manichaeism). We give guidelines on the organization of the Church, with the functions of various ministries. Dan


    rules of life for the faith community: true faith is taught by the apostles, and was aired at the beginning, the ministers should keep intact the deposit of faith received by the apostles, believers grow in faith, no useless speeches, but keeping the unity with apostles and implementing the goodness that Christ taught.

    5. doctrinal What are these pastoral letters?




    Christ, in whom revealing the saving plan of God is the only universal mediator. The new birth involves baptism is not due to our works, but the goodness of God.


  • Church appears as the new people of God, purified by the sacrifice of Christ, as the house of the living God as the great family of God as the foundation and pillar of truth. Its mission is to teach and retain the deposit received. The ministers, who receive the ministry by the laying on of hands have the mission of teaching and the power of jurisdiction.

  • 6. Let us now
  • pastoral letters:


  • * Letters to Timothy

    4. Style:

    is very friendly simple, passionate and at times, passionate.

    * Letter to Titus 1. Tito

    situation: it was Greek, I had been circumcised Paul on his journey to Jerusalem, where he wanted to get approval from the Apostles to the Gentiles freedom under the law of Moses. It seems that Paul instructed the Church of Crete, and is supposed to be in front of it when he wrote the letter.

    doctrinal points: the sacrificial death of Christ and His glorious appearing at the end of time, love of God to men and universal salvific will, the renewal by the Spirit through baptism and the transforming action of grace that makes us heirs of eternal life. 4.
    Style:

    As in the letters to Timothy.

    VI. CONCLUSION: San Pablo has been, is and will be the great apostle of Christ. All theology owes him their thoughts and main points of doctrine. Paul of Tarsus is a monument to the grace of God. Paul shows how God does not destroy our human nature, but the rises, turns, respecting our temperament and idiosyncrasies. God used Paul to systematize the doctrine of Christ. Christ left no writings, simply spoke and acted. But left to his apostles the task of announcing, orally or in writing, his message of salvation.


    PRAYER: San Pablo, we ask the same passion you had for Christ. That we too, like you, go through the world preaching the gospel, because "Woe to us, if not proclaim the gospel." We spend and wears us out for souls, like you did. Amen. _____________________________




  • Through this letter we know the huge missionary effort by Paul, their hardships and dangers, the state of inner tension that consumed his life, his passionate love for Christ and Church, the extraordinary mystical experiences with that was graceful ... and his wonderful, exceptional personality in the splendor of contrasts: both theologian and missionary, founder and organizer, contemplative and indefatigable traveler, lyrical and polemicist. And as for his character: arrogant, humble, bold, shy, calm and passionate, loving, sarcastic, polite, hard and bitter generous, wise and taken away. A patchwork of light and shadows, successes and failures, hopes and despair.




  • The letter to the Romans is the longest of those written by Paul. There is a complete and definitive synthesis of Paul's teaching and much less than Christian doctrine, but it is the great writing of Paul and the first major test in the history of Christian theology. Together with Galatians, the Romans has been the main reference point in the controversy between Catholics and Protestants, to the extent you could say that the Protestant Reformation Roman has made sacred text par excellence. Some have considered this letter as Paul's theological testament, as it was written in one of the most critical moments of his life

  • .



    These Colossians seem to some believers today who rely more on private devotions not approved by ecclesiastical authority, in Christ, or take refuge in astrology, magic, superstition, horoscopes.





    The word "all" is repeated eight times in the hymn.



      One of those philosophies is gnosticism. This current of thought amalgamated teachings originated in the religion of Iran, the Platonic philosophy, Judaism and ultimately Christianity. It was characterized by the dualism rejected matter as bad and accepted only the spirit as well. The soul, a spark of divinity imprisoned in the prison of the body, should be released by a redeemer to transmit knowledge (gnosis) savior. The redeemer had to communicate the knowledge of the ascetical by which the soul came to dominate the body, and could be released back to merge with the divine. It was characteristic of this thought scorn of the human body. They argued that he had an elaborate system of celestial beings and intermediaries between the divine and earthly, which governed the lives of men and which they attributed power and they should worship. These new lines of thought attempted to settle within the Church.

    31a. session. Hebrews

    Author: P Antonio Rivero LC where an apology or defense on the priesthood of Christ.
    I. INTRODUCTION This letter has aroused amazement and bewilderment. Amazement, by solemn language. Perplexity, due to the concepts and symbols difficult to interpret. Perplexed, to hear that this letter is a letter, or Paul wrote, or directed at the Jews. The words "the Jews" may have arisen because of the strong influence that Hellenistic Judaism had on this paper.
    hardly find a more stimulating writing, which is reflected best the Christian and the Christian community, to collect our experiences and problems with such depth and humanity, as does the Hebrews. No paper translated the New Testament has so boldly and depth the most serious temptation that can derail our Christian identity, both personal and community: the lure of fatigue. A tired from work-something not normal and perfectly understandable, but of the loss of sight of the actual dimensions of the Christian mystery, determining their requirements, their hopes rewarding.
    II. DOCTRINAL OBJECTIVE: To know the wonderful and perplexing letter to the Hebrews.
    III. LIVING OBJECTIVE: thank God we have sent His Son Jesus Christ, the only effective Priest of the New Covenant. IV. THESIS
    Letter to the Hebrews is a sermon or theological treatise where an apology or defense on the priesthood of Christ, superior to the Levitical priesthood, to clarify doubts and encourage Christians in times of persecution hard to stay faithful to the greatness of their faith, as God is faithful, and not get carried away by the weariness of the struggle for the Christian faith, giving to the abandonment of route taken, the total defection, apostasy. It pays to be a Christian!

    V. EXPLANATION OF THE THESIS: 1. Author, date and target


    was believed that it was Paul. But the doubts about its Pauline origin comes from the difference in style and theological conception. Besides the central theme of the sermon, the priesthood of Christ, he is never clear in the letters of Paul. Rather, it is estimated that Paul wrote one listener. recipients are indeed Christians, and they are for some time. It is not even clear that the case of Christians from Judaism. Is not excluded that in the case of communities was felt the influence of the Judeo-Christian culture. It is a community that is undergoing a difficult time, a typical crisis of the second generation: indolence and neglect of faith, little appreciation of the salvation brought by Christ, abandonment of community meetings where Christian love is communicated. The author describes this situation as serious, as it constitutes a significant decline in faith and can reach a true apostasy.

    What year was this letter written? More or less between 70 and 90.




    2. Literary characteristics


    a)
    Language solemn, like the speeches of antiquity.
    b) not letter, but piece of oratory, written to be delivered orally. It is therefore a homily or sermon in which he is exposed orally and defend the mystery of Christ in the light of salvation history and of Scripture.

    c) combining
    know the doctrinal and apologetic to the warrant and full of comfort. d)
    His statements are strong, solid.


    3. Division and thematic content
    a) Part
    (1-2): speaking of Christ's saving position, which is more valuable and beneficial to men than the angels.

    b) Part
    (3-5, 1-10): preach the virtues of the priesthood of Christ and urges that rely Priest credible.

    c) Part Three
    (5-10): the central part and wider, develops specific aspects of the priesthood of Christ, calling back to the faith and trust.

    d) Part Four (11-12): more specifically addresses two basic aspects of Christian life: faith and constancy. e) Part Five (12-13): introduces the topic of Christian behavior in their dual dimension: toward God and our brothers.


    4. Theological and spiritual content
    End of letter
    : instilling the preexcelencia of the New Partnership on Old and calls for greater faith and hope in Jesus Christ, Savior effective and definitive, as many were in danger of losing faith and return to Judaism, no only because of the persecutions to which they were exposed, but rather by slow spiritual progress and the attraction exerted upon them the magnificence of the Temple and the worship of their traditions.
    theological and spiritual content of the letter is this:

    1) Jesus Christ is the only holy priest
    , compassionate and trustworthy, that his sacrifice on the cross, His death and resurrection, ascension and intercession, saved us and opened the gates of heaven, establishing the new covenant. He alone has saved us by his obedience to the Father.
    2)
    Hebrews stresses the contrast between the new and the old cult,
    which it describes as ineffective. Only the blood of Christ can man purify his heart and live your inner conversion and communion with God.
    3) This brings the
    commitment to live with intensity and perseverance of hope and faith
    , especially in hard times and testing, and thus do not fall into apostasy, the cooling of the faith. Faith and perseverance are two attitudes are particularly necessary for Christians of the second generation.

    4) help us in this journey of faith strong and sturdy some illustrious characters of the Old Testament. It underlines the paradoxical nature of faith has not yet possess, that is not yet known, used to save and to give evidence, that is, to condemn. In the series patriarchal figure of Abraham is the center of the scene. His faith, which is the origin of the divine promises and makes you stand the test of just having to sacrifice his son, depositary of the promises, is a model for all descendants. Moses, his faith overcomes all the trials and tribulations that inevitably involves faithfulness to God. Faith, then, starts, moves and ends the whole adventure of the Exodus and the conquest of land, crucial events in the history of God's people. Without faith that history is not explained and neither could explain the Christian people. Therefore, faith is a guarantee of full success, both for glory and to confront the toughest challenges. Therefore, you have to run tough stage of life to win the battle of faith, stripped of all that which hinders agility in this case it is rid of sin, which thwarts fundamental.

    value of suffering: it is something to be reckoned with and should not be regarded as a punishment from God. Instead, the trials and sufferings we correct, we transform, we improve, and are a demonstration of God's fatherly care for us.

    6) Acting Christian is synthesized in two aspects: pursuing peace and holiness. Holiness does not necessarily mean moral, existential world but separation and communion with God. This act is specifically Christian in this: love the brothers, respect for marriage, live detached from earthly goods

    CONCLUSION: end this letter saying that Christ the Priest is the cause of the ministerial priesthood, of which all the priests, and at the same time, Christ is the joy of every priest.

    PRAYER: Lord, you acknowledge you as a priest of the New Partnership and thank you for your obedience to the Father, through which we are redeemed by your blood. We ask that all priests are alike to you, especially in the continuous desire to sacrifice in the death of themselves, to give life to the world. Amen.
    TOPIC OF DISCUSSION IN THE FORUM
    1. What is the relationship between the priesthood of Melchizedek and the priesthood of Jesus? 2. How did the faith of Abel, Enoch, Noah and Abraham, according to the passage in Hebrews 11, 1-10?

    27th. session. San Juan

    Author: P Antonio Rivero LC


  • I. INTRODUCTION

    The Gospel of John is different from the rest of the Gospels. His vision of Jesus, their mysterious language, the focus of the work: everything makes him a unique Gospel. It has been said of him that is a gospel spiritual, and it certainly is. But while the Gospel is more emphasis on the Incarnation of Jesus and in the human details of his life. Embodiment of divinity and thus appear as two sides of the same mystery. II. DOCTRINAL OBJECTIVE: get into the Gospel of John.



    III. LIVING OBJECTIVE: Assimilate the message that this Gospel has to offer.
    IV. THESIS:
    The Gospel of John is a response to the situation in their community and contains a deep reflection about the mystery of Jesus. Those who are with him and accept it, are gradually discovering the depth of this mystery, through faith. And those who reject, for lack of faith, end in the dark and blindness of sin. All signs and wonders are designed to discover a facet of the unfathomable riches of Jesus. And the speeches that follow miracles have a theological character, that is, reflect on Jesus and his mission. To John he is painted with an eagle, the eagle is the bird that gets more height, like the Gospel of John, who rose to the secrets of the Divine.


    V. EXPLANATION OF THE THESIS:
      1. Author, date and target
    1. The author is John the beloved disciple of Jesus. His mother, Salome is the group of women who followed Jesus to serve and is present at Calvary. John is always shown on the list after Pedro and three intimate of Jesus.
    John wrote the substance of his Gospel at the end of the century, when they had killed the other apostles and evangelists. And then it was completed and edited by his disciples.
    Christians who were directed by Juan lived a difficult and complex situation:
      a)
    1. Internally, there were groups that did not accept the superiority of Jesus over John the Baptist, others did not accept the divinity of Jesus.
    b)

  • Externally, there was rejection and persecution. His pursuers are the Jews that appear on every page of his Gospel and expelled from the synagogue to the Christian community. Therefore, these Christians lived in fear, some were afraid to appear as disciples, others had left the community. And the main temptation to those still in the world was shut away in the upper room, retreat to the circle in which they were protected.

    Therefore, this community has rallied around the "beloved disciple" John.

    2. Literary characteristics

    is a gospel very different from the other three. It has its own sources, so write 'his' gospel based on their memories and with a different purpose. Selected some miracles and deepened in its symbolic meaning, depending on what I wanted to teach the Christian community.
    speeches is rich and has a way of talking deep, reflective, abstract at times. John seems a theologian. So his language is adult faith. Talk with the new concepts used in the Hellenistic culture: light-dark, life, love, logos ... and adapts to the Christian faith. Part of realities: water, bread, birth, life, light ... but then transforms and transports us to other realities than through the
    symbol. John uses much dialogue Nicodemus Jesus, Samaritan, Jesus, Jews, Jesus, born blind, Jesus, etc. to present their teaching in a more lively and participatory. Another
    John is the following: presenting sign or miracle, and then makes the discourse on the sign.
    3. Division and thematic content

    The Gospel is presented separately in two major sections, preceded by a prologue and followed by an epilogue:


    a)


    Prologue and testimonies (1, 1-51): anticipates large themes of the gospel, the Word, Life, Light, Truth, the world, the darkness ... and with it, the first evidence, presented to John as the last great prophet who points to Jesus as the Messiah.
    b)
    The Book of Signs
    (2-12): narrated seven miracles and signs. What matters is not the miracle itself, but to reveal Jesus as He came again, as New Man, as light, as living water, such as Easter, etc.

    c)
    The book of the Passion and Easter (13-20). It has two sections: the farewell speech (13-17) and the passion and glory (18-21).


    d) Epilogue

    (21, 1-25): Meets various appearances of Jesus, in which the beloved disciple has an important place with Peter.



    4. Content theological and spiritual




    End of the Gospel of John: John wants to prove that Jesus is true God. Hence, his specialty being the theological discourses. Key:

    The Gospel of John is a response to the situation in their community. A controversy over the divinity and humanity of Jesus, the evangelist responds deepening the mystery of his incarnation and death. And the temptation to flee the world, encourages pupils to consolidate their faith in Jesus, and united to him, leaving the world to bear witness to the truth. Before Jesus must decide: either to accept Jesus or rejects it. Those who meet Jesus and accept it will gradually discover the depth of this mystery: he is recognized as Lord, Prophet, Messiah and Savior of the world, and above all, as the Son of God. And those who do not agree, still in darkness, the blindness of their heart.
    The more a Christian makes his decision for Jesus, for His Life, His truth, His righteousness ... so much more will face opposition from some who will make life impossible, to take his life.



    Content:
    a)
    is called the spiritual Gospel


    the mature Christian: long speeches meditative, preparation of items (bread of life, water, spirit and truth ...). These speeches are not so much words of Jesus but

    speeches about Jesus

    . Presents Jesus as the Word, Life, Light, Bread of Life, The Way, Truth, Life, Resurrection ...


    b)
    is the Gospel of signs: These signs are intended to awaken faith. He wants to prove that those signs or sacraments are an extension of those saving acts of Jesus. These are the signs:


    water-baptism.
    breads: the Eucharist.
    water and blood from the side: baptism and the Eucharist.
    blindness: the man who has found Christ-Light.
    The hostility of the enemies of Jesus: the man who will not accept Jesus.
    c)
    is the Gospel of life and love
    : all converge on Jesus' moral commandment of fraternal love. d)


    is the Gospel of Jesus
    hour: the hour of final victory, his glorification through free and voluntary surrender to the cross. It is time dear Jesus, as the supreme act of love. The Cross becomes the glorious throne from which Jesus founded the Church. And Mary is Mother of the Church made up fresh from the side of Christ. The intimacy established between the mother and the beloved disciple symbolize the relations that should exist between the Church and their children. e)

    is the Gospel of the Father
    : the life of Jesus by John as an out of the Father, stay true to the mission the Father entrusted to her, and return to the Father to be glorified and sat on his right.
    The theme of Christ-Life is truly the heart of the Gospel of John, all other issues are related to this: "I I am the light ... living water ... the bread of life. "




    CONCLUSION:
    The Gospel of John is, in fact, a doctrinal letter as gospel. His first intention is not to narrate, but to teach. The main interest of this work is of a theological miracles are there signs, the speeches, more speeches of Jesus are speeches about Jesus. Such speeches are not about the problems of the time of Jesus (the law, the Sabbath, pure or impure food, etc ...) but on the mission of Jesus in the world: to be the Messiah, sent by the Father, Light world, living water, bread of heaven.


    PRAYER:

    Lord, if You are the Word, tell us. If you are the Light, enlighten us. If you are Life, vivifícanos. If you are the truth, teach. If You are the Way, lead us to the Father. If you are the Resurrection, resucítanos. If you are the living bread, feed us. If You are the Living Water, sácianos. If you are the Shepherd, guide us with your pastures of salvation. If You are the New Man, men make us new to us. If you are the New Wine, intoxicate. Amen. QUESTIONNAIRE 1. How has San Juan Jesus? 2. Unlike the other Gospels, John's What gives greater importance: the preaching of Jesus through the parables, or the speeches in which Jesus proclaims its identity, its mission and its relationship with the Father?

    missionary and universal Church, is projected under the impulse of the Spirit, out of Jerusalem and Palestine. It is a church on mission, so that every person has the opportunity to receive the gospel. Admission to the Christian community makes them free men of any religion or cult of other gods and even the whole religious institution. The conflicts that arose at the beginning with the opening of the community to all the men were solved through dialogue, prayer, fellowship and help of the Spirit.
    ministerial Church:
    each one is chosen according to God's call and personal qualities: deacons, missionaries, responsible community.

  • Apostolic Church:
    any service or ministry has at its center and point of reference to the apostles. Therefore, the seven deacons are presented to the apostles, they lay their hands, the decisions of the Council of Jerusalem are endorsed and initialed by Peter and James, Paul goes to Jerusalem several times to confront their faith and preaching by Peter. The apostles are guarantors of truth and unity. With the growth of communities, the apostles chose some responsibilities as mission support in the community, monitor the transmission of the message, teach, make decisions at key moments, distribution functions in the community, providing the sacraments there were two : baptism and the breaking of bread.

  • tried and persecuted Church
    : from Home is a persecuted Church, but is brave, confident in the strength of the Spirit. Persecuted by the Jews themselves observant of the Mosaic Law, because the apostles admitted to the pagans, exempting them from circumcision and the Mosaic law, was enough for only faith in Jesus Christ. And persecuted by the pagan Romans, who saw the standard of living of the first Christians a strong attack and call attention to the life of luxury, vanity and unbridled pleasures worn by pagans.
    V. CONCLUSION:
    The Acts of the Apostles presents the model of Christian life, ie how to live there find us twenty-first century Christians of all ages, united in the love of Christ, together with our pastors (Pope, bishops and priests) who obey and those who work side by side in the construction of the Church of Christ
    1 and fed in the sacraments, especially the Eucharist. VI. PRAYER: Holy Spirit, as you drove, the first church, we ask you to guide our steps in this third millennium of Christianity, and put on our lips and in our hearts the message of Jesus, for transmission to same courage, clarity and enthusiasm of the early Christians. Amen. _________________________

  • How To Make Dirt Out Of Icing

    29th. session. The person of St. Paul

    Author: P Antonio Rivero LC Church is open to all men: the Church "Catholic." For the Church were to do this "catholic" and not a sect within Judaism, God used especially of the Apostle Paul. He understood that the Gospel of Jesus Christ was the Good News to all men and drew the consequences, exceeding the narrow barriers aimed at limiting the preaching of the Gospel enclosing it within a religious exclusivism was only given the people of Israel.
      Throughout its history the Church has always been illuminated by the words of Saint Paul, for both the Magisterium and theologians necessarily have used their cards to further and propose the doctrine of the faith. Many theological controversies have developed in their texts throne and great saints have nurtured their spirituality in the reading of the Pauline letters. Understanding, then, this titan of Christianity, so that through him, get to know Jesus Christ and the passion to preach with the same courage that Paul himself.
    I. DOCTRINAL OBJECTIVE:
    meet one of the most important figures of the missionary expansion of Christianity and doctrinal exhibitor.
      II. OBJECTIVE LIVING: Living what St. Paul tells us: "Be my imitators, as I am of Christ "(1 Cor 11, 1).

    1. III. THESIS:
      San Pablo is one of the most fascinating figures of the New Testament and early Christian character of that we have more historical data. His letters are the most famous match of all time. They are also chronologically, the earliest New Testament writings and therefore we provide the first data on the origin, structure and development of a number of Christian communities to twenty or twenty years from the start of Christianity. His apostolic activity was the main objective of the foundation of Christian communities and thus extend the Church of Christ and the message of salvation brought by Christ.

    IV. EXPLANATION OF THE THESIS:
      1. Your
    1. born in Tarsus of Cilicia, to the year 10. Jewish race and religion, but of Greek and Roman citizen. His basic training was Jewish. He studied in Jerusalem and in the school of Gamaliel, the old man. At first it was a total rejection of believers in Jesus and launched a fierce persecution, as passionate Pharisee, believing that Christians were a sect against the law of Moses. But one point of his life, circa 36 AD, had a mysterious encounter with Jesus of Nazareth, the road to Damascus, and became a propagandist of the Message of Jesus.
    After several years of education in the faith in the Christian communities of Damascus and Antioch, and personal reflection time, Paul began a tireless activity in an effort to spread the message of Jesus and form new groups of believers. The book of Acts describes Paul's three missionary journeys, not without difficulties, suffering and prisons:


    The first
    by Cyprus and southern Asia Minor (years 45-48).
    the central part of Asia Minor, Macedonia and Greece (years 49-52).


    The third for Galatia, Phrygia, Ephesus, Macedonia and Greece (years 53-58).


    A fourth voyage
    from Caesarea to Rome by sea, made Paul a prisoner of the Romans.





    2. Points of his doctrine


    a)
    Justified by Faith: as a Pharisee, Paul believed to be justified or saved by detailed practice of law. I thought they were "his" works that made him righteous before God. Now discover that only Christ with his death, it just man, a free. It is not, therefore, "worthy" of salvation but "receive" Christ faithfully adhering



    109.

    b)
    Grace of God:
    Paul has experienced the gratuitous love of God. He has discovered that God loves us not because we are good, but to be good. This is the source of joy and security to Paul.

    c)
    Jesus Christ crucified:

    the cross, illuminated by the resurrection is at the heart of Paul. At the foot of the Crucified, Paul feels a sinner, but forgiven. Paul's Jesus is always the Crucified Christ (letter to the Philippians).


    d)
    The Church, the Body of Christ:
  • Paul perceives the connection between Jesus and his disciples, between the head and body (letter to the Corinthians) and becomes a living member of this body
  • e)
  • Apostle of Jesus Christ: from the encounter with Jesus, Paul was absolutely in love with Christ and will launch the ministry with passion, without respite or harm. Preaches to the Jews first, then being rejected by them, preach to the Gentiles or pagans.

  • 3. Problems and Paul had difficulties faced

  • a)
    One problem:

    A Jewish-Christian church or a new church? That is, who entered the nascent Church, what had to be circumcised and keep the whole law of Moses ... or open to a new reality, a new style? For this first council met in Jerusalem with Peter at their head and the other apostles and decided by the light of the Holy Spirit was not necessary to be circumcised. b) Challenges:

    misunderstandings and false accusations everywhere and from his own Jewish brothers and the pagan Greeks and Romans. Jail, where he wrote several letters. Martyrdom in Rome, beheaded, about the year 67, during Nero's persecution.

    4. Features of the Pauline communities

    a) communities are settled in the Hellenistic world.

    This offered many advantages, it was the religious world, but also brought the threat of a hedonistic paganism, attractive and easy to religious cults, customs conflict with the gospel. Now understand the continual warnings, recommendations and Paul calls attention to those communities. b) Most of them were locked in the coastal regions of the northern Mediterranean

    (Asia Minor, Greece, Italy), within, both the Roman Empire. Both Paul and his colleagues sought to establish Christian communities hubs in cities linked by a strong communications network. Thus favoring the contact and dialogue among Christian communities. c) are established in urban communities

    in contrast with rural communities palestinenses. Paul is certainly not the founder of Christianity, but Christianity is the creator of urban with all that this event would mean for the evolution of Christianity.

    d) Among the cities where they settle, the natural area is home communities. home communities are coming together in homes to celebrate their faith and nurture it.

    e) are communities made up of Christians of both Jewish and pagan origin. This led, initially, their difficulties, but were overcome with Christian love.

    f) are communities where, with the enthusiasm and heroism, is this sin. were not holy communities, but communities that wanted to be holy, with strengths and weaknesses, with wonderful examples and sins. But this is the Church of Christ, holy and sinful at the same time holy and in need of constant conversion.


  • 5. Characteristics of his letters

  • a)
    In what language are written:

    Paul's letters are written in Greek "common" language that, in addition to Aramaic, easily dominates. Paul, in general, dictated to a scribe or clerk. Some cards, like writing to Philemon was written by his own hand. But He always sort through and put the final salutations to the letter.
    b) End of his letters:
    Paul served his letters to communicate his theological and spiritual mystery of Christ. Today, Pope Paul also follows this tradition of sending letters of a theological and spiritual support to all the faithful of the world.
    c) How many and what :
    are 14, including the Letter to the Hebrews. Paul's own are considered: the first to the Thessalonians, two to the Corinthians, the Galatians and the Romans, that of the Philippians and Philemon. Of the others, though not the same Paul, Pauline clearly written in circles, that is, by disciples of Paul (Colossians, Ephesians, 1-2 Timothy, Titus and 2 Thessalonians), written after Paul's death. Have divided and his letters
    kerygmatic Letters:
    1 and 2 Thessalonians (year 50-51). Great
    letters: Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians (56-58).

    captivity Letters: Philippians, Colossians, Ephesians and Philemon (61-63).

    Pastoral Letters: 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus (67), with this nickname because of his pastoral concern to establish hierarchy and community organization.
    d)
    Scheme: Paul's letters are in accordance with the scheme of the ancient letter: heading, the body of the letter or message and the final salute. However, in developing this scheme, Paul is almost always deeply original. The newness of the Gospel through all and, from start to finish, Paul's letters exude Christian life. None of artifice or empty formula.
    e)
    Style:
    Use all stylistic devices: paradox, metaphor, rant and especially the antithesis. Also used exhortations and advice. f)
    Material used:
    includes material already formulated: hymns 110

    , confessions of faith 111

    , catalogs of virtues and vices 112

  • , linked series of texts 113
  • biblical
  • , 114 doxologies
  • . Not only the formula but the reformulated and submitted to a literary-theological transformation.
  • g)
  • theological Features: From the theological point of view the letters of St. Paul have these Features:

    A theological pluralism in his letters, that is, talking about various topics.
    No looking in the Pauline letters a systematic theology for two reasons: first, because the historical moment it was in Christian reflection made it possible, and second, because the epistolary genre was not the most appropriate for this . So Paul's theology is a theology in process, specifically as it responds to specific questions.
    not built on nothing but fall back on traditions that were running around.
    is made His training as Jewish, the abundant use of quotations from the Old Testament. Use the typological interpretation, ie, the ratio-comparison between the events of the Old Covenant and the new.
    V. CONCLUSION: After the third trip, was arrested and taken to Rome, where no doubt his release by the year 63, although since then the last four years of his life are in the dark. Apparently he went to Spain (Rom 15, 24 and 28) and made another trip to the East. He died in Rome, beheaded by the executioner of Nero, AD 67, on the same day of the martyrdom of St. Peter. Its buried in the basilica of St. Paul in Rome. PRAYER: Lord, give me the same passion for you and for the salvation of souls that had St. Paul, I also wear and wear me, to see everyone you know and love you and follow you . Amen. __________________________ This teaching developed in the letters to the Romans and Galatians. cf. Phil 2: 6-11, Col 1, 15-20

    II. LIVING OBJECTIVE: To assimilate the message Lucas nos transmite en su Evangelio. III. TESIS: El Evangelio de san Lucas es el Evangelio de la misericordia y tiene como objetivo presentar la ternura de Dios para con todos los pecadores y necesitados. Está escrito en griego culto, pues Lucas es un cristiano educado en ambientes helenistas. Intentó responder a la situación que vivía su comunidad cristiana, amenazada por la rutina y la tentación de aferrarse a los bienes de este mundo. Por eso, invita a la conversión, y para ello nada mejor que recordar las palabras y la vida de Jesús. A Lucas lo pintan con un toro, porque comienza su evangelio con los sacrificios que hacían en el templo, donde cada tarde se sacrificaba una res.
    1. Author, date and target was written by Luke, a physician, educated man and perfect knowledge of Greek. He was a disciple of St. Paul. It was a direct witness of the Lord's life. Maybe it was Mary who gave most of the information contained in the first chapters of his gospel.

    4. Theological and spiritual content


    End of the gospel of Luke: entire Gospel of Luke aims to present Jesus as the great friend of sinners, as the most merciful and kind of beings that have existed.

    Key:

    The situation of this community is not tense or the Jews or the Romans. Christians in the province of Syria are in dialogue with Greek culture. In recent years, Christian communities had lost their initial enthusiasm. They were accommodating to the daily routine: I was attracted to land values, like money or power, no longer had counterweight pending an imminent coming of the Lord. In these circumstances, Lucas tries to revive the faith and enthusiasm of the believers to have security in the authenticity of the teachings they have received. Highlighting the role that Jesus in history, intends to write a history of salvation. In this path to salvation is to go free from restrictions, as wealth and other commitments.
    presents Jesus as a model of the Prophet anointed as Savior and Lord.

    presents the Church as a church incarnated in human history, always on the way to realize the plan of Jesus, a church able to shed all the accessory that prevents you keep walking. The particular way of this Church's presence in human history is told in the second part of the work of Luke (the Acts).
    presents the journey of the disciple,

    + First the disciple is called (Lk 5: 1-11). + passes through a stage of euphoria following Jesus (Lk 9, 20-36).

    + Jesus cleansed of your pride and prepares you for the time of the fall (Lk 22, 31-34). + The decline of inner purification to mandate (Lk 22, 54-62).



    Content:

    a)
    is the Gospel of mercy and forgiveness large : in this Gospel we find the pages that best speak of tenderness and mercy of God.

    b) It is the Gospel of universal salvation:

    forgiveness and tenderness that reaches to all men.
    c)
    is the Gospel of the Poor:

    emphasizes Jesus' predilection for the poor, the marginalized, the Samaritan, the despised.
    d)
    The Gospel of Prayer:
    presents Jesus in prayer, taught his disciples to pray, gives examples of prayer to Mary, in Zechariah, in Gethsemane, on the cross.

    e) is the Gospel of the Holy Spirit
    the fruit of prayer is the Holy Spirit. Lucas insists on the centrality the Holy Spirit in the life of Jesus and the Christian.
    f)
    The Gospel of Joy:
    a life of prayer, of union with the Holy Spirit is a source of joy and happiness for all. Salvation given to all breeds joy.

    g)
    is the Gospel of the radical and demands of the teacher:
    God's tenderness and optimism of salvation does not hide the difficulties and the shadows of the life of Jesus and the Christian. It is a renunciation of wealth, mostly.

    V. CONCLUSION: If we call the Gospel of Mark catechumen, because its aim was to provoke the act of faith in Jesus as Son of God, Luke is known as the Gospel of the witness or evangelize. One reason is because their structure is like a gradual formation of Christian witness and evangelization. Lucas teaches Christians to spread the word to those who do not believe. This is precisely why Lucas felt the need to continue with the Acts of the Apostles, in order to present a series of examples of catechesis and evangelization in the early Church.

    PRAYER:

    Lord Jesus, I recognize as Saviour, full of tenderness and mercy. That we take your love to all men. Amen.
