Interpreting the expressive means used, we attempt to explain how Plato goes from historicity to systematicity, in order to create the appropriate conditions to build a definition about a funda- mental virtue as well as to set the criteria to be followed in a philosophical debate. Our study is di- vided in two sections, each of which is also divided in two subsections. In the first section, we in- vestigate the historical context of the dialogue and the terms of transition from a single dialogue to dialectics. In the second section, we attempt to define according to Socrates’ judgments the men- tal and moral quality of the young men as well as the terms and conditions of the right interlocutor. At the end of each section, we present a table of concepts to bring to light the conceptual structures that Plato builds, which reveal the philosophical development in this dialogue. Key-words: Plato, Charmides, dialogue, dialectics, historicity, systematicity Introduction TheCharmides , at least as to its form, is included in the first period of Plato’s literary activi- ty, since it involves Socrates and an unknown interlocutor. Yet, it is a dialogue that follows the method of nested stories, for Socrates is presented as someone who describes in indi- rect speech the argumentation on sophrosyne (temperance) that was used by him, Chaire- phon, Critias and the young beautiful Charmides. The debate is supposed to have tak- en place immediately after the Athenian philosopher came back from Potidea in 432 BC. The place of that debate is the palaistra of Taureas, where the protagonist meets some old friends and acquaintances. Taking into consideration that Socrates, at the age between for- ty and fifty, is presented as a man who becomes a friend or a special consultant of young men, or, their mentor, the main question raised at the beginning of the dialogue is whether there are any young men who excel at wisdom and beauty, or even both. In fact, the topic of the dialogue rebuilds the famous Platonic model of searching for a definition – in the sense not only of giving a particular name but also of defining moral thought and action, that is, a prolific combination of the Theoretical with the Practical Reason –, an attempt that leads to identifying a particular virtue, in this case self-control and self-awareness, with the Christos Terezis, Lydia Petridou 150 knowledge of good1. The whole discussion proceeds inductively and deductively, so the ac- tual question discussed is about the holistic virtue as a requirement for young politicians. Due to this holistic nature of virtue the Charmides could be easily described as a precursor of Plato’s middle dialogues. Furthermore, since, as already mentioned, the topic of the di- alogue is about building a definition related with moral behaviors, both individually and collectively, the purpose is actually to define a moral ideal, which is approached through the process of understanding the relations that should be developed between political fac- tors. It is to be mentioned here that the concept “political” is used to describe the all kinds of relationship in a state and not primarily the relationships of its institutions. In this study, we shall investigate the introductory chapters of the dialogue

  • St. Mary's Altar Server Manual
    ABOUT SERVING St. Mary’s By serving at the altar, you are participating in the greatest mystery of our faith: that God would come to dwell among us and offer his divine Son as a sacrifice for our redemption. Serving well allows everyone to pray reverently and maintains the dignity of the Mass. A good server is attentive Cathedral to the liturgy and able to move when needed without drawing attention to him/herself. Serving at the altar is an honor that is not open to everyone. Always conduct yourself in a way that commands respect, maintaining an attitude of honor and respect. Altar servers help everyone pray and worship God, but especially assist the priest in the celebration of the sacred mysteries. Everything in the liturgy is directed to manifesting the glory of God. Servers should be mature enough to understand their responsibilities and to carry them out well in a graceful and reverent way. They should ordinarily have already been admitted to receiving Holy Communion. Servers should receive proper formation before they begin to function. The formation should include instruction on the Mass and its parts and their meaning, the various objects used in the liturgy (their names and use), and the various functions of the server during the Mass and other liturgical celebrations. Servers should also receive appropriate guidance on maintaining proper decorum and attire when serving Mass and other functions. Since the role of server is integral to the normal celebration of the Mass, at least one server should assist the priest. On Sundays and other more important occasions, two or more servers should be employed to carry out the various functions normally entrusted to these ministers.

  • Preaching the Mystery of Faith
    United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Preaching the Mystery of Faith The Sunday Homily A downloadable resource from USCCB PREACHING THE MYSTERY OF FAITH CONTENTS Introduction I. The Biblical Foundations for the Church’s Preaching Ministry II. The Ministry of Liturgical Preaching III. The One Ordained to Preach IV. Interpreting the Scriptures and Preparing the Homily Conclusion 1 PREACHING THE MYSTERY OF FAITH EXPLANATORY NOTE ON THE CAPITALIZATION OF “WORD” Since there are multiple uses of the term “word”—such as the eternal Word and the word of God—it is important to be clear about which theological sense is being used in this text. When “Word” is capitalized, it refers to the eternal Word, the only Son begotten of the Father, who became incarnate of the Virgin Mary. When “word” is not capitalized, it refers to the broader sense of the word of God, which may include Sacred Scripture and the Tradition of the Church. 2 PREACHING THE MYSTERY OF FAITH INTRODUCTION The Church is the bearer of Christ’s word to the world down through the ages until the Lord returns. This is why in her sacraments, in her authoritative teaching, in her liturgy, and in the lives of her saints, the Church proclaims the word rst entrusted to the Apostles with transformative power.1 One of the most signicant ways in which the Church as the Body of Christ proclaims the dynamic word of God is through the preaching of her ordained ministers, particularly in the context of the Sunday Eucharist.2 Preaching is nothing less than a participation in the dynamic power

    Sophomore Summer Assignment Religion Read the following passages and answer the questions at the end of the packet (pages 25-27). Only the answer sheets (page 28) will be collected in September Part I – A Way of Life and Love A Portrait of Love Imagine you had to choose three and only three images from the Gospels to describe who Jesus is. What would you choose, and why? Chances are, at least one of those images would be from the Paschal Mystery. The Paschal Mystery is Christ's work of saving us from our sins - accomplished through his Passion, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension. The term mystery in religious language refers to truths revealed to us by God. "Great is the mystery of the faith!" the Church professes this mystery in the Apostles' Creed (part one) and it celebrates it in the sacramental liturgy (part two), so that the life of the faithful may be conformed to Christ in the Holy Spirit to the glory of God in the Father (part three). ~Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2258 The mystery of faith requires a response from us. Our response is to believe in the mystery of faith, celebrate it, and live from it in our relationship with the one true God. The Catechism calls this relationship prayer (see CCC, 2558). The mystery of faith increases our knowledge of God. Faith in the mysteries of God’s revelation gives us greater access to their meaning. Saint Anselm liked to put it this way: Believe so you can understand. We call Christ’s Death, burial, Resurrection, and Ascension a mystery because we can never fully understand it.
