The Martyrdom of Alfred Delp, SJ Prepared by the Spirit and Transformed in Christ: The Martyrdom of Alfred Delp, S.J. by Peter Plunkett Nguyen A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Regis College and the Theology Department of the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College © Copyright by Peter Plunkett Nguyen 2017 Prepared by the Spirit and Transformed in Christ: The Martyrdom of Alfred Delp, S.J. Peter Plunkett Nguyen Doctor of Philosophy University of St. Michael’s College 2017 Abstract This thesis argues that in contrast to a negative popular perception, Christian martyrdom, as ex- emplified by the Jesuit Alfred Delp, consists of a positive giving of self to Jesus for the sake of others. The martyrdom of Delp—executed on 2 February 1945—proceeded from his enduring dialogical encounter with the saving love of God in Jesus Christ, facilitated by the Holy Spirit, and experienced through the medium of prayer. The thesis explores the testimony of Delp in a period during which he was subjected to the tyranny of National Socialism and examines his es- sential writings, some of which have yet to be published in English, especially his meditations on the Heart of Jesus. The thesis’ methodological approach also involves dialoguing with the work of Bernard Lonergan, which elucidates the spiritual transformation in Delp, and the work of Hans Urs von Balthasar, which sheds light on the issue of Delp’s salvific, liberating relationship with Christ. Delp’s spiritual writings interpret the friendship with Christ made possible by the work of the Holy Spirit as the source of freedom that enables Christians to lay down their lives. His martyr- dom is the fruit of an ongoing life-changing, prayerful dialogue with Christ enabled by the Spirit. ii Delp’s witness unto death demonstrates that Christian martyrdom proceeds from the initiative of God and is the ultimate act of human freedom, which bears witness to loving friendship with God. Accordingly, prayer, as openness to transformation, is a work of the Spirit within the hu- man person, not just a creaturely activity. Christian martyrdom, as exemplified by Delp, is the ultimate expression of human initiation into a saving relationship with Christ and a consequent concern for the well-being of others. iii Acknowledgments Many people have contributed to my work. First, I want to thank my dissertation committee at the Toronto School of Theology at the University of Toronto. My director Sr. Gill Goulding, C.J. offered incredible patience and wisdom in this process, assisting my incorporation of the writings of Alfred Delp, Bernard Lonergan, and Hans Urs von Balthasar into a single dialogue. Dr. Ephraim Radner encouraged me to concretize a theology of martyrdom by taking on the prison writings of Alfred Delp. Fr. Gordon Rixon, S.J. helped me to make sense of Lonergan’s theology over many bowls of phở during those long winter months in Toronto. I am indebted to scholars who have influenced me over the past 18 years of Jesuit formation. Dr. Mark McIntosh introduced me to the theology of Hans Urs von Balthasar. Fr. Robert Imbelli deepened my love for von Balthasar’s theological aesthetics and theo-drama. Fr. John C. Haugh- ey, S.J. introduced me to the theology of Bernard Lonergan. Fr. Khaled Anatolios’ course on the relationship between faith and reason inaugurated my spirit of inquiry on the reasonableness of Christian martyrdom. Four Jesuits, in particular, impacted my maturation as a Jesuit. Fr. Brian Paulson, S.J., as voca- tion director, guided me into the Society of Jesus when I was young man, graduating from the University of Chicago. Fr. Mark Andrews, S.J., as novice master, helped to shape me during the first two years of the novitiate. Fr. Raymond Guiao, S.J., as formation director, encouraged me to pursue doctoral work. Fr. Brad Schaeffer, S.J. as provincial, accepted into the Society of Jesus and, as rector, oversaw my growth into a young priest in Boston. Numerous members of the Regis Jesuit Community walked with me over these past few years. John O’Brien, S.J. allowed me to ask him countless times across the hallway about his own iv prayer life as I tried to make sense of the Trinitarian dimension of Alfred Delp’s prayer life. Fr. Joseph Kozcera, S.J. provided steady and calm support over countless meals. Fr. Gerard Ryan permitted me to talk about my research with him over a few pints. Fr. Shane Daly lent me his ear, discussing Delp and his devotion to the Sacred Heart on our holidays in upstate New York. Fr. Monty Williams enlivened my mind and heart on the pilgrim dimension of Ignatian spirituali- ty. Fr. Con Mulvihill, S.J., as rector, was a consoling, supportive presence during my last year in Toronto. Matthew Charlesworth, S.J. was a devoted brother who delivered drafts of my thesis while I was teaching in Omaha, Nebraska. I want to thank a few members of my Facebook community and Creighton University communi- ty. Varuna Quiterio gave me critical evaluation on a particular draft and lightened my heart with his baseball insights in the midst of the writing grind. Dr. Artur Rosman faithfully alerted me to contemporary scholarship on martyrdom throughout these past years. With a critical and ardent union of mind and heart, Jean-François Garneau appraised my integration of Alfred Delp’s devo- tion to the Heart of Jesus into the thesis. Dr. Zachary Smith helped me to recognize that I would be offering a unique insight on martyrdom and spirituality. To complete this project, FF. Charles Kestermeier, S.J. and Ross Romero, S.J. gave to me that necessary final push. I want to thank my jiu-jitsu community in Toronto: Nikki Almeida, Jodi Pudge, Wendy Chu, Camellia Koo, Paul Jonathon Saguil, Bonavie Tek, Cyril Pinchak, S.J., Alec Nickalls, Jason Tan, Dom Hanlon, and Elliot Bayev. During the difficult moments of the writing stage, I could work out my frustrations on the mats in a combative, friendly manner with you all. Last but definitely not least, I want to thank my family for raising me in a faith-filled household. The pictures of the saints, martyrs, and the Sacred Heart throughout the home communicated to v me a message of security and interior freedom, knowing that we belonged to the Mystical Body of Christ, where past, present, and future relationships are redeemed. Your expression of popular piety has sown within me what Pope Francis would call a “theology of the people.” Cor Jesu, rex et centrum omnium cordium, miserere nobis. vi Table of Contents Acknowledgments .......................................................................................................................... iv Table of Contents ........................................................................................................................... vii Introduction ..................................................................................................................................... 1 The Formation of the Christian Martyr ....................................................................................... 1 From the Thesis Proposal to the Thesis Proper .......................................................................... 6 Methodological Consideration .................................................................................................. 13 Procedure .................................................................................................................................. 17 Chapter 1 The Case for the Christian Martyr ................................................................................ 21 1.1 Introduction ....................................................................................................................... 21 1.2 Psychological Studies of Martyrdom ................................................................................ 22 1.2.1 C.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • Martyrdom SCTR 112
    Martyrdom SCTR 112 Course Description: This course interrogates ancient and contemporary discourses on martyrdom in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Crucial questions to explore include: What is martyrdom and its relationship to ancient notions of a noble death? Why are notions of martyrdom so prevalent among Christian, Jewish, and Muslim fundamentalist groups today? How is the Torah, The Bible, and the Quran used to legitimate violence against the self and others? And, who counts as a Martyr and who does not? These questions intersect with various contemporary religious and political concerns including: religious violence, imperialism, colonialism, apocalyptic groups (e.g. Jonestown Branch Davidians), fundamentalism (Jewish, Christian, and Muslim), suicide bombings, church and school Shootings, and the rise of ISIS. In the last part of the course, students will also reflect on the multiplicity of ways in which martyrdom discourses have shaped their religious formation and spiritualities. INSTRUCTOR: Roberto Mata EMAIL: [email protected] OFFICE HOURS: TBD OFFICE : (300j) CORE CURRICULUM OBJECTIVES : Students taking this course will: 1.1 Describe and compare the central religious ideas and practices from several traditions or within one, and from at least two globally distinct regions. (Students will fulfill this core objective through group presentations, worship site visits, as well as through midterm and final examinations). 1.2 Use critical approaches to reflect on their own beliefs and the religious dimensions of human existence. (Students will fulfill this core objective through an introduction to the theories and methods from the study of religion, class discussions, reading responses, and both midterm and final exams).

  • Karl Rahner and the Society of Jesus
    특집: THEOLOGIA, Hic et Nunc Karl Rahner and the Society of Jesus Andreas R. Batlogg S.J. Germany, Stimmen der Zeit 편집장 1. A Theologian of the Century 2. The Jesuit: ‘One was at disposal’ 3. Conflicts 4. Was Rahner happy in the Society? Karl Rahner was a Jesuit. This is a well-known fact. Therefore, I do not say anything new to you in Korea where Rahner is read as well. Quite a number of Jesuits of Sogang University had had studies in Innsbruck or Munich and so continued to pass on the theology of Karl Rahner. Just a few months ago, a Korean translation of his lecture Das Konzil – ein neuer Beginn (1965) was published. Albert Raffelt and I wrote a comment that we may now admire in a language completely alien to us. Once more: It is a well-known fact that Karl Rahner was a member of the Society of Jesus. Yet, what does it mean? Is it only a piece of biographical Karl Rahner and the Society of Jesus 141 information? Just a religious post-nominal? Does being a Jesuit influence his way of doing theology? His choice of topics? His approach, the modus procedendi? Those are the questions I would like to think about in my lecture. And I’d like to take a look behind the scenes, from the stage of the known, obvious and public to the more basic backgrounds and settings of Rahner’s thinking and consequently of his oeuvre. 1. A Theologian of the Century Thirty years after his death, Karl Rahner–both within the Society and beyond–is still (and again) read, studied, consulted, quoted and ‘mined’ in every respect; a wide variety of texts–not only the ‘classics’–is still being re-printed; books by him are money-spinners in second-hand bookshops.

  • Procedures for Reverencing the Tabernacle and the Altar Before, During and After Mass
    Procedures for Reverencing the Tabernacle and the Altar Before, During and After Mass Key Terms: Eucharist: The true presence of Christ in the form of his Body and Blood. During Mass, bread and wine are consecrated to become the Body and Blood of Christ. Whatever remains there are of the Body of Christ may be reserved and kept. Tabernacle: The box-like container in which the Eucharistic Bread may be reserved. Sacristy: The room in the church where the priest and other ministers prepare themselves for worship. Altar: The table upon which the bread and wine are blessed and made holy to become the Eucharist. Sanctuary: Often referred to as the Altar area, the Sanctuary is the proper name of the area which includes the Altar, the Ambo (from where the Scriptures are read and the homily may be given), and the Presider’s Chair. Nave: The area of the church where the majority of worshippers are located. This is where the Pews are. Genuflection: The act of bending one knee to the ground whilst making the sign of the Cross. Soon (maybe even next weekend – August 25-26) , the tabernacle will be re-located to behind the altar. How should I respond to the presence of the reserved Eucharist when it will now be permanently kept in the church sanctuary? Whenever you are in the church, you are in a holy place, walking upon holy ground. Everyone ought to be respectful of Holy Rosary Church as a house of worship and prayer. Respect those who are in silent prayer.

  • An Overview of Karl Rahner's Ecclesiology
    142 International Journal of Orthodox Theology 8:3 (2017) urn:nbn:de:0276-2017-3062 Jean Nedelea An overview of Karl Rahner’s Ecclesiology Abstract Karl Rahner (1904-1984) regularly concerned himself with the life of the Church. His writings on the Church are very numerous and highly varied. His scholarly work, spanning half a century, tackled all significant topics of Catholic ecclesiology, from essenti- al ecclesiology (essentielle Ekklesiolo- gie) to the existential one (existenti- elle Ekklesiologie). Although he was not an ecclesiologist – as he did not Rev. Assist. Prof. Dr. Jean produce any exhaustive monograph, Nedelea, Assist. Prof. of nor did he run an academic course on Moral Theology at the Faculty of Orthodox Theo- ecclesiology – Rahner always made logy “Patriarch Justinian”, the Church the core concern of his University of Bucharest, life, and a central pursuit of his Romania An overview of Karl Rahner’s Ecclesiology 143 theological inquiry in the realms of systematic and practical theology. Adhering to the sentire cum Ecclesia principle, Rahner was a lifelong, loyal and passionate servant of his Church, and at the same time its “critical advocate”. Using the historical- systematic method, I aim to provide an overview of the significant themes and tenets in the ecclesiology put forward by the renowned Jesuit theologian. Keywords Karl Rahner, Church, ecclesiology, Second Vatican Council, ecumenism 1 Introduction Rahner’s studies of ecclesiology should be understood as profound thoughts connected to concrete events he experienced and which the Church was facing. His ecclesiology is not an analysis of some abstract topics, debated in treaties or theoretical monographs.

  • “Your Love and Your Grace. It Is All I Need.” Joan L. Roccasalvo, C.S.J. Week of November 16, 2017
    “Your love and your grace. It is all I need.” Joan L. Roccasalvo, C.S.J. Week of November 16, 2017 How many times had they prayed in solitude and in public, “Give me your love and your grace. It is all I need?” A thousand times? In the end, they had no time to utter lengthy prayers, perhaps not even this final verse of St. Ignatius’ self-offering. Leisurely, they had prayed it for years. Now they were suddenly called on to live it in death. In the stealth of night, in those early hours of November 16th, 1989, six Jesuits were prodded from a deep sleep and dragged out of their beds to the grounds of their University of Central America. That moment had come when the prayer of self-giving would ask of them a final Yes. They were not entirely caught by surprise. Their residence had been visited a few days before. It was a warning as though to say: ‘Teach, but stay out of our business.’ Of all people, a young student of the Jesuit high school was enlisted to execute in cold blood six Jesuits, their cook and her daughter: Ignacio Ellacuría, the University Rector, an internationally known philosopher and tireless in his efforts to promote peace through his writings, conferences and travels abroad; . They also split open his head and spread his brains on the grass to make it clear why he had been killed. They certainly understood the symbolism of the head, the seat of the intellect. Segundo Montes. Head of the University of Central America sociology department, director of the new human rights institute, superior of the Jesuit community.
