The Spirituality of the Congregation of the Daughters of Divine Love is “Divine Love in action, expressed in the contemplation of God, deep fraternal love and apostolic action” This Spirituality of the Congregation moves to the second ministry of Jesus, the ministry of presence. An important fact about Jesus’ preaching is that his fundamental message was not only verbally articulated but actually lived, that is put in action. Jesus was what he preached. His integrity did not allow him to say one thing and do the opposite. To understand what this spirituality of the Daughters of Divine love Congregation means in the light of the second letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians (5: 14-21), it is proper to read it within the context of the biblical text from where it is taken. The constitution of the Congregation of the Daughters of Divine Love gives expression to the identity of the Daughters as “the images of the Father.” This could mean that the Daughters are representing another reality. As the images of the Father, the Daughters are called to be representative of God on earth. In the sense that they have to pay attention to the ideas they have about God, about love, about truth and about justice. The Daughters should see the need to withstand and to pray against narrow-mindedness. So that they (the Daughters) must see and judge …show more content…
Paul explains how he might not do anything than to serve Christ, he was striving to do so with the highest integrity, for the love of Christ compels him. Besides, he is well convinced that Christ died for his sake, and so he wants to live for him. In this passage, we see two phases of St. Paul’s motivation for ministry: the ‘fear of the lord’ and ‘the love of Christ’. On the other hand, St. Paul is mindful to give accountability of his actions and so he has a strong fear (11), and on the other, he knows is aware of the great love of Christ and so could not do otherwise than live for the one who died and rose for
In 102 Minutes, Chapter 7, authors Dwyer and Flynn use ethos, logos, and pathos to appeal to the readers’ consciences, minds and hearts regarding what happened to the people inside the Twin Towers on 9/11. Of particular interest are the following uses of the three appeals.
Ulrich had a well explanation for her slogan on "well-behaved women." She supports her slogan by bringing up certain women stereotypes that have been going on throughout history. She uses these stereotypes to explain how certain people view on women.
Along with ethos and small touch of logos, the author Roxane Gay uses a strength appeal of pathos to persuade her audience onto her argument. “White people will never know the dangers of being black in America, systemic, unequal opportunity, racial profiling, and the constant threat of police violence. Men will never know the dangers of being a woman in America, harassment, sexual violence, legislated bodies. Heterosexuals will never know what it means to experience homophobia.” (Gay). In this paragraph, the author is identify the inequality between racial barriers, genders and sexual orientation which an emotionally involved topic to bring up. How people are treated differently how the way they look, where they come from. Woman would
I chose this word because the tone of the first chapter seems rather dark. We hear stories of the hopes with which the Puritans arrived in the new world; however, these hopes quickly turned dark because the Purtains found that the first buildings they needed to create were a prison, which alludes to the sins they committed; and a cemetery, which contradicts the new life they hoped to create for themselves.
At this point, Jonas has realized what release really means. He finds out that the little baby Gabe that has lived with his family is being released at the very next morning. And the large plan that has been made with The Giver, to get rid of sameness within his community can’t be carried out because he knows that he must save Gabe’s life. He starts to really understand what it means to truly live and truly love. He knows he loves Gabe and, therefore he must sacrifice himself in order that Gabe might live. So, he quietly leaves in the middle of the night, and takes Gabe with him and they leave the community. Jonas is running for their lives because he knows they’re being hunted down. He hopes that they will just give up and assume that maybe
While comparing her time, theology and spiritual practice we realize she lived during the time of immense change, similarly we are living on the edge of a challenged modernity. Her spiritual direction allows us to recognize and develop further abilities in our pastoral ministries of caring for one another as participants within the corporate communities as well as within the mission fields.
Chapter four addresses the divisions within the Corinthian church, such as jealousy, quarrelling and their defective view of the church. The apostle Paul links their view of the church to church leadership stating “If they had a true view of the church, they would have a true view of the leaders of the church” (p79). The situation was that their view was lower for the church and higher for the leaders thus they were boasting about the leaders. Paul’s view was that the Corinthian church was spoon feed Christians not maturing as they should. Paul’s reference to addressing the church as worldly did not mean they were unregenerate because they did possess the Spirit but they were not being spiritual, not being controlled by the Holy Spirit. He goes on to say “They have experienced new birth by the Spirit but have remained babies in Christ; they have not yet become mature in Christ” (p80) The Apostle most likely would express the same opinion about many Church congregations today. Many churches are elated with their church growth, but it is often superficial. If the church does not offer a real growth opportunity the journey is short lived. The church fills up with Christians not participating in the sanctification process. As with many churches today the Corinthians had a self-serving attitude about themselves and their church. The Corinthians would have never behaved the way they did if they had a higher view of the church and what it stood for and a lesser view of the leaders. Paul outlines three visions of the church “each of which has important implications” (p82). The first metaphor is agricultural: God’s field (v9) 9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God...
The apostles never ceased to be shocked by Jesus' willingness to talk with women, women of questionable character, even immoral women. It was very difficult for Jesus to teach his apostles that women, even so-called immoral women, have souls which can choose God as their Father, thereby becoming daughters of God and candidates for life everlasting.
The relationship between a parent and child is important because it forms a bond that is needed for children to develop normally socially, emotionally, and physiologically. The relationship of a father and daughter are analyzed using two main sources; a television commercial and an article. Advertisers and corporations use many strategies to make their product or purpose effective and to appeal to the targeted demographics. Logical fallacies, proofs that include ethos, pathos, and logos, audience and context are used. Logical fallacies are a list of common mistakes that are used as aids to appeal to an audience. Ethos is the proof that appeals to emotion and feeling; pathos appeals to credibility and logos uses evidence such as research and
The Glass Menagerie, a memory play written by Tennessee William, the prominent symbol of the coffin, used during Malvolio the Magicians trick, symbolizes Tom’s life, specifically the lack of adventure in his life. While, the dramatic irony present when Tom ask “… who in hell ever got himself out of one without removing a nail?”, as the photograph of his father lights up, reveals his desperate desire to escape from his unadventurous life (1. 4. 26). Analysis of the symbol of the coffin and Tom’s dramatically ironic question proves humans are desperately seeking an escape from their reality.
“I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” 1 Corinthians 11:3 seems sexist and devaluing to the female gender at first because Paul emphasizes that man is the head of woman just as Christ is the head of man. By studying Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 11:2-16, we find that this emphasis explains why the feminist liberation happening in the Corinthian church at that time found to be a problem. The direct issue came to the disobedience of the women of the church neglecting to cover their heads while praying and prophesying. The underlying concern was why they continued to do so and the drastic changes it was causing the gender roles of the church. Through experience and contact with different customs and through the inspiration for liberation, Paul felt the need to approach the Corinthian church about his distress with the women. From the Old Testament to the New Testament to today, customs and traditions have changed and developed. Today, we cannot read this passage and understand Paul’s point without theological interpretation. The issue is not whether man is superior to woman or vice versa. The problem lies with how women disobeyed and ultimately violated their role as a woman. This paper will conclude that through the analysis of customs in Paul’s day, we see that he was not being sexist, but emphasizing the need for men and women to perform their given roles in Christ.

... a merely a reflection of Hebrew society of the time (Stanton). Jesus Christ, being a reformer, should have improved the status of women with his message of love and acceptance. However, there is no denying that the stigma is carried with women into the present day. Women’s position in society can be greatly attributed to their depiction in religious text. Holy word is still a factor in making women more susceptible, more culpable, and more sinful an impure than men. Even as women move up in the social order, religion is timeless and ever bearing on the struggle women fight for sexual equality.
Paul believes he is preaching the gospel truth of Jesus’ return. He believes he is speaking, from Christ, the guidelines for redemption. But nothing more than beliefs are Paul’s words. Throughout his letters he incessantly contradicts himself and the Old Testament. He disapproves boasting about wisdom and knowledge, while hypocritically boasting about his supposed gospel. He slanders the Jewish faith by condemning the act of circumcision. And lastly, he degrades women by defying them of their individual and bodily feelings. He limits them to the control of man, either a husband or Jesus. Paul’s letters of Jesus are not holy, and they do speak on behalf of the holy. Amen.
“I want a better father” these words may be said by most of the children because of focusing on the imperfections of their fathers. One of the most charming commercials people could ever see represents the dissatisfaction from children toward their fathers; children most of the time focus on their father’s weak points. The ad that titled “Silence of Love” represents the real meaning of father’s sacrifices toward their children. True love always produces sacrifices that make life easier. On the other hand, children should admit their father’s fights to make a comfortable life for them. However, the advertiser builds a strong argument to attract the audience with emotional appeals by sending a hidden message to them through the
