Myles Domini Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 [size=3][font=georgia,serif]Epiphany: A Theological Introduction to Catholicism by Fr Aidan Nichols OP[/font][/size] [size=3][font=georgia,serif][quote][/font][/size] [size=3][font=georgia,serif]We can distinguish, then, between individuality and personhood. In us, personhood requires individual existence as its base. However, to be a person is not to be an isolated monad but, on the contrary, to find oneself increasingly defined by others. Augustine had already seen this. Persons are [i][b]ad invicem[/b][/i],[i] [/i]"[b]turned towards one another[/b]," not [i][b]ad semetipsum[/b][/i],[i] [/i]"[b]turned toward self[/b]." When Aquinas refers to the Trinity as subsistent relationship, he means that in Father, Son, and Spirit this process of becoming constituted in what one is by the relationships one has reaches its full term; or, rather, this process in human beings has its source and archetype in God. What in us is a process or series of intermittent events, is in them an archetypal and eternal event.--Nichols, A., Epiphany: A Theological Introduction to Catholicism, p 163[/font][/size] [size=3][font=georgia,serif][/quote][/font][/size] [size=3][font=georgia,serif]Dynamite [/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faithcecelia Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Visions and Voyages: The Story of Celtic Spirituality by Fay Samson I am interested in the Celtic Church and wonder how the Church would be had it united with the Celtic church as was discussed on a number of occasions.

Chrysophylax Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 [u]The Impact of God[/u] by lain Matthews. About St. John of the Cross. This book was 'love at first [s]sight[/s] word' for me. Have you ever had the feeling that a book was written specifically for you? That is what this book feels like to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
