It is true, some men turn to God in face of great suffering, but others resent Him (if He exists at all) for such an injustice. Man’s problem is oftentimes that he struggles to appreciate the good so much as he despises the bad. Hence, the positive end of mystery which we seldom wonder at.

Couples partake in Love in a profound way, breathing the very breath of life back into the world as God first did. They are not passive bystanders. Instead, they dance vigorously on a spiral, secured by vows so that they will not fall, but vigorous nevertheless. Atop the spiral, the world must look up. As it does, it sees man, the only creature God willed for itself, with another, dancing to the rhythm of being.

The Enlightenment political project abandoned an idea of the teleology of the state present in Aristotle. While this is most evident in Hobbes' and Locke's works, it is also present in the American founding documents to a lesser extent.

We see the reality of fatherhood as not merely a title for God, but His very essence or way of being. The significance of this is that man is not merely a child of God by title, but in reality. And while the fatherhood of God is eternal, so too is the invitation to be a child. Therefore, the vocation of man is to become what he is, a child, and to live through this reality as the ‘turn’ to God, and to finding himself.

The journey and exploration into the essence of vulnerability reveals a profound truth. The heart of man will never be what it was made to be without the exposition of the totality of one’s being. Understanding this concept is pivotal for all who desire psychological maturation. What I have found is that in any relationship, there will never be growth without vulnerability; the act of exposing yourself allows you to die to yourself.

It is easy to see that things have gone wrong,

How the life we live is not life at all.

Crippled under our smallness,

Our hands above our heads, resisting,

So that a sky of our broken hopes,

unanswered questions and the truth of ourselves

Might not crush our fleshless bodies.

By Maximilian Schmiesing

This idea that the demands of the law are written on the hearts of man is central to C.S. Lewis’s essay, “Men Without Chests,” and by discerning his message we can come to a deeper understanding of Paul’s message in Romans 2.

Her insights demand from Catholic philosophers a recognition of their utter dependence on theology and the faith, but at the same time an ennobling and hopeful prospect of bringing about a synthesis unifying the whole of reason and revelation.

While the first gift was purely the creation of the world, now it has moved toward the gift of being for another.

Unless these two facts can be held with equal fervor, that man and woman are equal and that man and woman are different, society cannot approach either man or woman properly, nor would there be any reason to distinguish between the two.
