      Úvahy známé osobnosti katolické církve o víře a zrání na křesťanské duchovní cestě.Křesťanská víra není něco předem daného či triviálního. Je to cesta naslouchání Bohu a zároveň vědomé rozhodnutí. Víru doprovázejí pochybnosti, rozpaky, chyby i křehkost. Víra je i odvahou udělat krok do neznáma a riskovat.Kardinál Martini ukazuje na apoštolu Petrovi, jak mocná a zároveň křehká může víra být. Tak jako Petr následujeme a milujeme Ježíše – a stejně jako on si mnohdy nevíme rady, jsme zkroušeni nebo bojujeme s „ateistou v nás“. Síla víry je v tom, že zapojuje celého člověka – naše srdce, mysl i ducha.Knížka, napsaná formou biblické meditace pro účely duchovních cvičení, je určena zejména těm, kdo v církvi vedou druhé – kněžím, jáhnům a dalším osobám působícím v pastoraci – aby si stále připomínali jediný zdroj své víry: Ježíše Krista ukřižovaného a vzkříšeného.

      Das Weihnachtsfest lohnt ein Innehalten. Weil es eine Botschaft für unser Leben ist. Weil es ein neues Licht wirft auf die Geschichte, auf die Welt, auf das, was zählt. Auch heute; denn die Botschaft der Weihnacht ist brandaktuell: Sie setzt andere, neue Prioritäten. Diese Überzeugung, geistreich und gewinnend vermittelt, trägt die Reflexionen von Carlo Maria Martini. Er nimmt die Leserinnen und Leser mit auf den „weihnachtlichen Weg Gottes“, einen Weg, der in Bann zieht.

      Die Botschaft der Weihnacht
    • 2013

      La salvezza viene a volte in maniera inaspettata, in situazioni complesse sa trovare strade semplici e non troppo programmabili, si insinua nelle istituzioni e nei contesti di oggi ed entra in ogni casa che sappia accogliere davvero. Ci sono dei luoghi che sembrano impenetrabili, perduti, rovinati per sempre, inaccessibili al abbiate fiducia, andate incontro al mondo contemporaneo, ha bisogno di voi e vi aspetta. Il figlio dell'uomo è venuto a cercare e salvare ciò che era perduto, non c'è niente di perduto che non possa essere salvato. Dunque con il coraggio e la fiducia di Gesù attraversate la città, non abbiate paura di essere i santi del nuovo millennio.

      Cercate Gesù. E siate contenti di essere cristiani!

      Leben mit dem lebendigen Gott, seine Spuren entdecken, ihn dort finden, wo wir ihn vielleicht gar nicht vermuten … Persönlich, ganz biblisch, ganz nah an der heutigen Lebenswirklichkeit zeigt Carlo Maria Martini Spuren des oft als fern empfundenen Gottes. Diese Ausgabe versammelt seine Ausführungen über – Jesus, 'der alles für uns ist': Weg, Licht, Leben (deutsche Erstausgabe); – Gott, den Vater aller Menschen; – den Gottesgeist, der auch heute wirkt, oft anders und anderswo, als wir meinen; – über den dreifaltigen Gott und das Geheimnis der heruntergekommenen, mit-leidenden Liebe. Ein Buch voller Glaubens- und Lebenskraft.
