Poslušnost
Slovo "poslušnost" zní moderním uším nesympaticky. Kdepak je lidská důstojnost, svoboda, seberealizace?... A přece se bez této diskriminované ctnosti neobejde žádné lidské soužití, ať rodina, pracoviště, klášter, stát... Proto obrací P. Cantalamessa ve své knize pozornost čtenáře na její pramen, na samotného Boha. To je poslední instance veškeré poslušnosti, ať je prokazována kterékoli pozemské autoritě. Po vzoru Krista, "poslušného až k smrti", ale právě proto "vítěze nad smrtí"!
Jen s ohledem na nejvyššího Pána má kterákoli autorita právo vyžadovat od podřízených porobenost...
Tato knížka je tedy vhodným doplňkěm jiné knihy téhož autora, o Panenství, která vyšla rovněž v Karmelitánském nakladatelství. Obě nám představují čistotu a poslušnost jako následování Krista, které je nejen přístupné, ale i závazní pro všechny, kdo nosí jméno křesťanů!

"He learned obedience from the things which He suffered." - Hebrews 5:8
November 19, 2023
Pretty good, but nothing groundbreaking, not that I expected there to be either. To be honest a lot of it went in one ear & out the other, this is a “me” problem, so perhaps on a reread it could get up to 4-stars. Anyways, the parts I absorbed seemed pretty basic about Obedience to Christ above all else, especially over or in relation to worldly powers who circumstantially are worthy of our obedience. I found Chapter 5 the most interesting, especially the bit about the Magi example. Last couple of chapters were good too.

Es que no tengo palabras para tanta excelencia y sencillez para explicar algo que llevaba tiempo buscando. Es un top 5 que ya va llegando a top 10.
