| deus caritas est: God Is Love Pope Benedict XVI, 2009-09-03 Everyone needs love. Everyone desires love. But not everyone understands love. In fact, love is probably the most misunderstood subject in history. In his first Encyclical, Pope Benedict helps to clarify the meaning of love. He examines the nature of various kinds of love — human love and divine love, eros, friendship, and charity. He writes beautifully and inspirationally of how man was made for love by the God who is love, the God who became one of us out of love — Jesus Christ. In the second part of the Encyclical, Benedict addresses the Church's practice of love. He examines the relationship between justice and charity, as well as the call of every Catholic to serve others in love. The Pope's love letter to mankind is remarkably accessible and timely. |

| deus caritas est: The Love That Satisfies Christopher West, 2014-06-26 The celebrated author of Theology of the Body Explained andTheology of the Body for Beginners offers compelling insights into Pope Benedict’s profound teaching on human and divine love. The Love That Satisfies is for all - whether married, single, or religious - who are seeking the face of true love in a wounded world. In The Love That Satisfies, Christopher West turns to the wisdom of both Popes Benedict XVI and John Paul II in order to shed some light on sexual love (eros) and its relationship with divine love (agape). Why is the love between man and woman so attractive and elusive, demanding and rewarding, restrictive and liberating, painful and ecstatic, messy and beautiful, maddening and fulfilling? Our world is saturated with sex but remains starved for love. Why? Perhaps as Waylon Jennings put it, we’re “Lookin' for love in all the wrong places, lookin' for love in too many faces.” Where, then, is the right place and whose, then, is the right face in which to look for love? By reflecting on key passages from Pope Benedict’s grand encyclical Deus Caritas Est, this book explores these and many other questions with the goal of pointing all who read it towards the love that satisfies. Those who give Pope Benedict’s teaching the attention it deserves will discover that the Catholic Church has a vision of sexual love far more glorious than anything Sigmund Freud, Hugh Hefner, Britney Spears, or Howard Stern could dream of or imagine. You doubt? This book will make you a believer. |
| deus caritas est: Saved in Hope Pope Benedict XVI, 2009-09-03 Pope Benedict XVI's second encyclical, Saved In Hope, (Spe Salvi in Latin) takes its title from St. Paul, who wrote, In hope we have been saved. In this special deluxe hardcover edition of the work, the Holy Father continues a line of thought he began with his first encyclical, God is Love. Love and Hope are closely related in the spiritual life. Love of God involves hope or trust in God. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, The virtue of hope responds to the aspiration to happiness which God has placed in the heart of every man. Hope enables us to look to the next life, but it also inspires and purifies our actions in this life. Pope Benedict considers modern philosophies and the challenges of faith today in light of the virtue of hope. Confronted by today's changing and complex panorama, the virtue of hope is subject to harsh trials in the community of believers. For this very reason, we must be apostles who are filled with hope and joyful trust in God's promises. In contemporary society, which shows such visible signs of secularism, we must not give in to despair. — Pope Benedict XVI |

| deus caritas est: The Way of Love Livio Melina, Carl Anderson, 2010-09-17 In response to Benedict XVI's first encyclical, the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies and Marriage and Family reflects, together with the Holy Father, on love. From the very beginning, the fundamental work of the Institute has been pursuing a deeper understanding of God's plan for marriage and family. In these twenty-five years various generations of students and professors, following the legacy of John Paul II, have been able to discover and communicate the beauty of the vocation for which all men have been created: the call to love. Twenty-six professors from the Institute's various sessions express what in their understanding are the main themes of the document, approaching the topics raised by the Holy Father with different theological and philosophical perspectives; by so doing they have highlighted the significance and fecundity of the lines of thought suggested by the Pope. This book is offered as a path towards a fuller understanding of the profundity and richness of the love with which God fills us and wants us to communicate in our turn. |
| deus caritas est: The Moment of Christian Witness Hans Urs Von Balthasar, 2012-09-11 Balthasar puts his finger on the precise origin of all those elements in modern Christianity which see the real Jesus Christ as unknowable, the Gospels as merely the confused reflections of later Christians, and Christian tradition as a perpetuation of the mythology. |

| deus caritas est: Scripture and the Mystery of the Family of God Scott Hahn, Leon J. Suprenant, Leon Suprenant, 1998 Imagine today's top Catholic authors, apologists, and theologians. Now imagine 12 of them collaborating on a book that answers common questions about and challenges to the teachings and doctrines of the Catholic Church. Imagine no more, it's a reality. (How's that for an endorsement?)Catholic for a Reason, edited by Dr. Scott Hahn and Leon J. Suprenant, with the foreword by Archbishop Charles J. Chaput (yes, we?re name dropping), will help Catholics and non-Catholics alike develop a better understanding of the Church. Each chapter goes to the heart of its topic, be it Mary, the Eucharist, Baptism, or Purgatory and in a clear, concise and insightful way, presents the teachings of the Church. Those teachings are explained in the light of the relationship of God the Father to us, his creatures. |
| deus caritas est: Deus Caritas Est Samuel Gregg, 2009 The first encyclical letter of Pope Benedict XVI contains many surprises, not least among which are observations about the nature of justice, the limits of the state, and the purpose and character of charitable organisations. This article analyses the encyclical by highlighting some of its underlying theological and philosophical influences as well as its practical implications for how Christians think about approaching poverty and the political order. |
| deus caritas est: Illustrated Deus Caritas Est Tomás de Zárate, 2020-12-11 Deus caritas est (English: God is Love), subtitled De Christiano Amore (Of Christian Love), is a 2005 encyclical, the first written by Pope Benedict XVI, in large part derived from writings by his late predecessor, Pope John Paul II. Its subject is love, as seen from a Christian perspective, and God's place within all love. This text begins with a reflection on the forms of love known in Greek philosophy--eros (possessive, often sexual, love), agape (unconditional, self-sacrificing love)--and their relationship with the teachings of Jesus. |

| deus caritas est: Understanding the 'Imago Dei' Fr Dominic Robinson, 2013-06-28 As theologians across confessional divides try to say something significant about human dignity in our contemporary society, there is fresh interest in the ancient Christian doctrine that the human being is created in the 'imago Dei'. Theology is grounding responsibility for others and for the world around us in this common vision that the human being's infinite horizon lies in a divine calling and destiny. Robinson examines the 'imago Dei' debate through three giants of twentieth century theology - Karl Barth, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Jürgen Moltmann. This is placed against a survey of the principle developments and distinctions relating to the doctrine in the history of Christian thought, which in itself will be valuable for all students of Theology. A fresh analysis of ecumenical contributions places the development of the doctrine in the context of the ongoing process of ecumenical dialogue on the dignity of the human person, with special reference to this theme in the first encyclical of Pope Benedict XVI, Deus Caritas Est. Whilst 'imago Dei' is the focus of this book, Robinson invites the reader to see its relevance to theology as a whole on a specifically ecumenical canvas, and relates directly to more general areas of theological anthropology, grace, salvation, and the relationship between God and the world. |

| deus caritas est: The Encyclical Letters Pope Benedict XVI, 2024 “To reveal God to men”: this, Pope Benedict XVI declared in the inaugural homily of his papacy, is the purpose of the Christian life. The encounter with the living God in Christ marks life’s true beginning: it is the condition for knowing what life is, who man is, and why he is. In his three papal encyclicals—Deus caritas est, Spe salvi, and Caritas in veritate—Benedict XVI strove to fulfill the apostolic mission: to proclaim the love which God mysteriously and gratuitously lavishes upon man, to testify to the hope that love bestows, and elucidate the responsibility to live the truth, in love, and thereby arrive at eternal life and communion with God, who “is himself Truth and Love.” Clear, concise, and accessible to a universal audience, the encyclical letters of Pope Benedict XVI exemplify the effort and inspiration with which the 265th Vicar of Christ labored to feed Christ’s sheep, to guard the precious treasure of tradition and revelation, and to steer the Church through a sea of darkness toward the unwavering light of God’s own truth. -- back cover |

| deus caritas est: The Look of Love James B. Lyons, 2009-01-01 THE LOOK OF LOVE is a treasure trove of human stories that bring to life this most powerful of human emotions. It invites reflection on God's love as gifted in our day-to-day lives, beautifully bridging the perception of love as a deeply personal experience and the reality of the sacredness of all love. Working with couples preparing for marriage I frequently encounter the struggle to connect a secular understanding of love with the Christian call to live as signs of God's love. THE LOOK OF LOVE uses everyday language and experiences to unpack the insights of Pope Benedict XVI, leading gently to the understanding that there is no such thing as love without God. Written with sensitivity and pastoral wisdom, each page builds to a discovery of the presence of the God who is love in every giving and receiving, every having and losing, every dying and coming to life again. - Louise Kelleher, Marriage Education Coordinator, Archdiocese of Wellington, New Zealand |
| deus caritas est: Faith and the Future Pope Benedict XVI, 2010-05-11 Increasingly, the future is becoming a theme for theological reflection. In the background we can detect a growing concern among many people for the future of faith. Does faith have any future at all, and, if so, where in all the confusion of today's trends will we discover its embryo? But the problem of the future assails not only the believer. In the ever more rapidly advancing process of historical evolution, man is confronted with enormous opportunities, but also with colossal perils. For him, the future is not only hope, but sorrow a nightmare, indeed. He cannot avoid asking what part faith can play in building tomorrow's world. Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, approaches this problem of universal concern from a variety of angles, bringing his deep personal faith and theological brilliance to bear on these serious questions. |

| deus caritas est: Modern Catholic Social Teaching Kenneth R. Himes, 2018-01-02 Including contributions from twenty-two leading moral theologians, this volume is the most thorough assessment of modern Roman Catholic social teaching available. In addition to interrogations of the major documents, it provides insight into the biblical and philosophical foundations of Catholic social teaching, addresses the doctrinal issues that arise in such a context, and explores the social thought leading up to the modern era, which is generally accepted as beginning in 1891 with the publication of Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum. The book also includes a review of how Catholic social teaching has been received in the United States and offers an informed look at the shortcomings and questions that future generations must address. This second edition includes revised and updated essays as well as two new commentaries: one on Pope Benedict XVI's encyclical Caritas in Veritate and one on Pope Francis's encyclical Laudato Si'. An outstanding reference work for anyone interested in studying and understanding the key documents that make up the central corpus of modern Catholic social teaching. |

| deus caritas est: Life and Love Terry Polakovic, 2018-06-19 Human life. We marvel at its complexity, we wonder at its fragility, and as Catholics we embrace its dignity. But as far back as 1880, the Church has faced the reality that our culture often stands in opposition to God’s loving design for life, love, marriage, and family. In Life and Love: Opening Your Heart to God’s Design, Terry Polakovic takes us on a fascinating tour of eight Church documents, spanning nearly 140 years, that pertain to human life and love: Arcanum Divinae (On Christian Marriage), by Pope Leo XIII, 1880 Casti Connubii (Of Chaste Wedlock), by Pope Pius XI, 1930 Humanae Vitae (Of Human Life), by Pope Paul VI, 1968 Familiaris Consortio (On the Role of the Christian Family in the Modern World), by Pope John Paul II, 1981 Mulieris Dignitatem (On the Dignity and Vocation of Women), by John Paul II, 1988 Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life), by John Paul II, 1995 Deus Caritas Est (God Is Love), by Pope Benedict XVI, 2005 Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love), by Pope Francis, 2016 Whether you’ve read these documents before or are discovering them for the first time, Life and Love will help you understand how the Church consistently and fearlessly offers the only true response to the battles of our time.

| deus caritas est: Ecclesiology at the Beginning of the Third Millennium Kevin Wagner, M. Isabell Naumann, Peter John McGregor, 2019-12-20 Born from the side of Jesus, pierced on the cross, the church is the living body of Christ. Like Jesus himself, it is both eternal and temporal, spiritual and material, spotless and wounded. Constituted as an integrated, living body, the church is the sacrament of Christ; that is, it reveals Christ to the world and makes him present in the world. It exists in order to evangelize and does this most effectively when its diverse members are united in love. This collection of chapters from scholars from diverse fields offers a fresh approach to Catholic ecclesiology. It is hoped that the reader of this book will discover anew the beauty of the church, a living body always old and ever new. |
| deus caritas est: Jesus of Nazareth Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger, 2007-05-15 Pope Benedict XVI’s iconic life of Jesus, a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of the central figure of the Christian faith. “This book is . . . my personal search ‘for the face of the Lord.’”—Benedict XVI In this bold, momentous work, the Pope seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from today’s “popular” depictions and to restore his true identity as discovered in the Gospels. Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the Pope incites us to encounter Jesus face to face. From Jesus of Nazareth: “. . . the great question that will be with us throughout this entire book: But what has Jesus really brought, then, if he has not brought world peace, universal prosperity, and a better world? What has he brought? The answer is very simple: God. He has brought God! He has brought the God who once gradually unveiled his countenance first to Abraham, then to Moses and the prophets, and then in the wisdom literature—the God who showed his face only in Israel, even though he was also honored among the pagans in various shadowy guises. It is this God, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the true God, whom he has brought to the peoples of the earth. He has brought God, and now we know his face, now we can call upon him. Now we know the path that we human beings have to take in this world. Jesus has brought God and with God the truth about where we are going and where we come from: faith, hope, and love.” |

| deus caritas est: The Sacrament of Charity Pope Benedict XVI, 2007-05-01 Pope Benedict XVI continues the theme of his first encyclical, God Is Love, in this apostolic exhortation by proclaiming that in the sacrament of the Eucharist, Jesus shows us the truth about love. As the Holy Father explains the meaning of the sacrament and its relationship to our daily lives, he helps us to see what an authentically eucharistic spirituality looks like and how this sacrament of love is meant to extend beyond the liturgy to permeate every aspect of our lives. |
