At the end of the liturgical year we experience the solemnity of Christ the King of the Universe. The ceremony, which is - as they say liturgical texts - reveals His kingdom: righteousness, peace, love and salvation. This kingdom completeness desires of man, the meaning of her life, her openness to infinity. This kingdom over time.
As such, it becomes the domain of faith. This year's thoughts ysk sort of weave the kingdom values ysk of full human measure and faith in what the kingdom is possible, in fact - that it is given to us as a problem appears at the end of the Year of Faith. It may, therefore, Pope Benedict XVI, Conceiving the year of deep and intense introduction into the depths of our common and above all a personal "faith", ysk we would say that faith is an event that has come true, come true and is open for the future.
This person questioning God is a challenge to our faith. The challenge is extremely dramatic, thanks to which we can supposedly re-embark ysk on the doorstep of our faith. In an unforgettable interview with Pope John Paul II asked Vittorio Messori, "Faith says that God - the Almighty. Why did he not behold removed and is no longer removes evil from the world he created? Do not we have here is a kind of "helplessness ysk of God," which they say is also true people, albeit full of despair religion? "(" Crossing the threshold of hope ".)
It is necessary to listen to the papal response that is particularly true in terms of human faith in the future was labeled as if - in the space of freedom ysk and love. John Paul II said: "In general, given, we can say that God is" helpless "about human freedom. We can say that God is paying for the great gift that endowed creature that created it "in His own image and likeness" ysk (cf. Gen 1, 26). He is consistent on this gift. And so it becomes man to stand trial before the tribunal of the usurper, who became his provocative question: Is it true that thou a king then? (Cf. Jn 18, 37) Is it true that everything that is happening in the world, in the history of Israel in the history of all peoples - depends on you? "
But then the Pope explains that honor God, human freedom, which is an expression of infinite love of God may be hope for man. "So we are in the heart of the history of salvation. Judgment of the Court of God becoming man. The divine and the human dimensions of this event occur, overlap and thicken. We can not, however, stay on one point. [...] The final value of the Good Friday a man, that judgest God velysh ysk He excuses before your tribunal - Think of yourself, or you are not responsible for the death of the doomed, or the trial of God is not the ultimate trial of you most? Whether this judgment and sentence - the cross, and resurrection - not be for you, the only way to salvation? "
The trial of Christ is the trial of a man: it is a choice between those who are hoping that fails, and what a choice situation, contrary to conscience and truth. This is an important lesson of faith pereobrazhuvanoyi effect. But it is also a lesson is especially important in political participation. ysk
The interrogation of Jesus by Pilate is questioning in the kingdom. In the case of Jesus samovyznannya king that clearly protyvylosya principle of autocracy of the emperor. Tsar impostor had some degree of destabilization sense of statehood.
But apparently the trial of Jesus has a dimension much more universal ysk than a dispute about the kingdom of the Jews in the Roman state. This place is a dispute about the vision of politics and Christian involvement in politics on the basis of faith.
It should firstly be noted that with such huge amount of debate on the policies and participation in the virtue ysk of faith often omynayetsya fundamental ysk thing: what is the policy? The very definition of "politics" is at least ambiguous. A very interesting
