A proposta deste artigo é sublinhar a antiga linhagem bíblica de Maria de Nazaré, a mulher histórica do Novo Testamento, a qual recebe o título de “filha predileta do Pai” no oitavo capítulo da Constituição Lumen gentium do Concílio Ecumênico Vaticano II. Este título não é só dado a Maria de Nazaré, mas a toda mulher que é chamada a anunciar a Boa Nova de Jesus Cristo Ressuscitado. A Autora coloca em evidência a missão que o Ressuscitado deu às mulheres na manhã da ressurreição e cunha esta missão como “mandato indicativo” dado a todas as mulheres que fazem a experiência do Ressuscitado: a de anunciar a todo o ser humano a Boa Notícia de que Jesus está vivo e que foi encontrado por seus discípulos na Galiléia. E conclui com o Documento de Aparecida que afirma: a fé de nossos povos se expressa numa espiritualidade trinitária, cristocêntrica e mariana. Os bispos falam desta piedade popular como de uma grande riqueza e de uma maneira legítima de nosso povo manifestar sua fé. Este é um dos desafios que teólogos e teólogas encontram na prática pastoral cotidiana.Abstract: The objective of this article is to highlight the old Biblical lineage of Mary of Nazareth, the historical woman of the New Testament, who receives the title of the “Father’s favourite daughter” in the eighth chapter of the Constitution Lumen gentium of the Ecumenical Council Vatican II. This title is given not only to Mary of Nazareth, but to every woman called to announce the Good Tidings of Jesus Christ Resuscitated. The Author brings to the fore the mission that the Resuscitated gave to the women in the morning of the resurrection and calls this mission an “indicative mandate” given to all women who live through the Resuscitated’s experience: that of announcing to every human being the Good Tidings that Jesus is alive and that he was found by his disciples in the Galilee. And it concludes with the Document of Aparecida that states: the faith of our peoples expresses itself in a Trinitarian, Christocentric and Marian spirituality.

The Mind

Origen's reflections on priesthood, as well as his interpretation of the Book of Leviticus, arc based on the assumption that there exists inner priesthood which is inherent in human nature. Such priesthood means human ability to offer spiritual sacrifices to God. Origen points to the human mind as the priest in man. It is the mind that is capable of turning to God. The spiritual priesthood imposes a moral obligation on every human being. Only against this background does Origenes consider priesthood in the Old and the New Testament. The Old Testamental priesthood was established by Moses and involved the ability to make both material! and spiritual offerings. That priesthood was an anticipation of the priesthood Jesus Christ. Jesus is, at the same time, a priest and a sacrifice, thus he fulfills all the promises of the Old Testament in himself.

Inspirando-se nos documentos do Vaticano II (especialmente na “Lumen Gentium”) e em Santo Domingo (“o protagonismo leigo”), sem esquecer o que nos revelam os textos neotestamentários sobre a comunhão eclesial e as funções múltiplas e diversificadas que os membros do Cristo Místico desempenham no mundo, Dom Aloísio, Cardeal-Arcebispo de Aparecida, se pergunta: É ou não é possível uma Conferência Nacional dos Católicos Leigos (CNCL)? A atuação evangelizadora dos leigos, recomendada na Exortação Apostólica “Christifideles Laici”, pode ou não pode ser organizada e coordenada por uma Conferência Nacional? O autor responde que “sim”, com vigor e clareza, e afirma: uma CNCL “não é só possível, jurídica e teologicamente falando, mas é até desejável”.Abstract: Inspired by the Vatican II documents (specially by “Lumen Gentium”) and by Santo Domingo (“the lay protagonism”), not forgetting what has been revealed to us by the New Testament passages on ecclesial communion and the multiple and diversified roles that the members of the Mystical Christ play in the world, in this paper Don Aloísio, Cardinal-Archbishop of Aparecida, asks himself whether a National Conference of the Catholic Lay (CNCL) is actually viable. Might the evangelizing role of laymen, recommended by the Apostolic Exhortation “Christifideles Laici”, be organized and coordinated by a National Conference? The author’s answer to these questions is a clear and forceful “yes” and he assures us that, “juridically and theologically speaking, a CNCL is not only possible but even desirable”.

The Mind

This book examines how the New Testament scriptures might form and foster intellectual humility within Christian communities. It is informed by recent interdisciplinary interest in intellectual humility, and concerned to appreciate the distinctive representations of the virtue offered by the New Testament writers on their own terms. It argues that the intellectual virtue is cast as a particular expression of the broader Christian virtue of humility, which proceeds from the believer’s union with Christ, through which personal identity is reconstituted by the operation of the Holy Spirit. Hence, we speak of ‘virtue’ in ways determined by the acting presence of Jesus Christ, overcoming sin and evil in human lives and in the world. The Christian account of the virtue is framed by this conflict, as believers within the Christian community struggle with natural arrogance and selfishness, and come to share in the mind of Christ. The new identity that emerges creates a fresh openness to truth, as the capacity of the sinful mind to distort truth is exposed and challenged. This affects knowledge and perception, but also volition: for these ancient writers, a humble mind makes good decisions that reflect judgments decisively shaped by the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ. By presenting ‘humility of mind’ as a characteristic of the One who is worshipped—Jesus Christ—the New Testament writers insist that we acknowledge the virtue not just as an admission of human deficiency or limitation, but as a positive affirmation of our rightful place within the divine economy.

In the Gospel according to St. John it is written that ‘God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have ever-lasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.’ In these familiar words is summed up the message of the Bible as a whole, and of the New Testament in particular. In spite of all that may be said of sin and depravity, of judgment and the wrath of God, the last word is one not of doom but of salvation. The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is a Gospel of salvation, of deliverance and redemption. The news that was carried into all the world by the early Church was the Good News of the grace and love of God, revealed and made known in Jesus Christ His Son. In the words of Paul, it is that ‘God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself’.

Bruno Bauer

The study of the origins of the Christian religion has always been one of the most difficult problems. This is due, first of all, to the almost complete absence of specific historical evidence of early Christianity and of its founder, which in turn led to the emergence of the so-called "mythological theory" according to which Christianity emerged "spontaneously" in Palestine and is unknown in any way. F. Engels, who borrowed from Bruno Bauer the date of writing the Book of the Annunciation of John the Theologian, the last book of the New Testament canon, played a significant role in the formation of such views. In accepting this date, understanding of Christianity as a "spontaneous" phenomenon, initially representing the movement of the underprivileged masses of the Roman Empire, played a role. In this sense, any "spontaneity" automatically excluded the historicity of virtually all evangelical characters (according to Engels, all of them are nothing but mythological images). If neither Jesus nor his apostles existed, then the gospel narrative of Christ evolved from the myth of Christ as God to the myth of Jesus as God-man.

The Church

Neither the Apostles nor any Christian minister is admitted to use the priest’s title in the text of the New Testament. Nevertheless, in the New Testament we can perceive the development of the doctrine of the priest ministry in the early Church. Albert Vanhoye maintains that the lack of the term “priest” in the New Testament suggests the way of understanding of the Christian ministry, different from this in the Old Testament. It can’t be considered as a continuation of Jewish priesthood, which was concentrated mainly on ritual action and ceremonies. In the first century the Church developed the Christology of priesthood (Hbr) and ecclesiology of priesthood (1 P). Early Christians focused first on the redemptive event of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice and Jesus as the mediator of a new covenant. Only then the religious communities adopted the priest’s title for their ministry.In the early years of the Church, all the ministries were regarded as a charismatic service among the Christian communities. In their services the early Christians followed Jesus Christ sent by God to serve. The Holy Spirit sent by God in the name of Jesus bestowed the spiritual gifts upon the Church (1 Kor 12–13). Consequently the disciples of Jesus and their successors could continue his mission. The Twelve Apostles’ ministry was the very first and most important Christian ministry. It was closely connected to the service of Jesus Christ himself. The Apostles were sent by the authority of Jesus Christ to continue his mission upon earth and they preached the Good News of the risen Christ. The Apostolicity was the fundamental base for every Church ministry established in different Christian communities. Successive ministries were established in order to transmit the teaching of Jesus Christ and to lead the community. For the early Christians the priesthood was not an individual privilege. It had rather the community character.

Contradictory Statement

To proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord over the world is to make a paradoxical statement. First, in the original sense of the word ‘paradox’, His lordship over the world is contrary to doxa, that is, received opinion, reason and experience. His sovereignty seems to the ordinary mind not less paradoxical than His mighty wonder of healing the man of the palsy which called forth the amazed exclamation: ‘We have seen strange things [paradoxa] today.’ We cannot see, neither can we prove the reality of His kingship. This is meant by the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews: ‘Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. … But now we see not yet all things put under him.’ Then another sense of the word is suggested—though probably to non—Greeks only—by the New Testament meaning of the word doxa, glory—‘paradoxical’ being something that is contrary to glory—not simply devoid of it, but appearing as the very opposite of royal splendour and might, as weakness, helplessness, shame and mortality. Also in this second sense the lordship of Christ is highly paradoxical. The visions of the Apocalypse assign power and glory to the Lamb that was slain. And thirdly, in modern usage, the word ‘paradox’ means an apparently self-contradictory statement in which the truth is expressed by two contradictory but necessary propositions. In this sharpened sense of the paradox one would express the lordship of Christ only in terms of those features which indicate His lowly service, weakness, humiliation and shame.
