    Exegesis and Hermeneutics1 Dr. Nuria Calduc-Benages (International Congress of the Catholic Biblical Federation: Word and Life. Biblical Animation of the life and the mission of the Church (VD 73). Experience and challenges. Rome. April l24, 2019. Exegesis and hermeneutics are two terms familiar to specialists in the biblical sciences.2 In those environs and academic documents they are constantly referred to in order to reference the interpretive process, certainly complex, which the reading of the biblical texts requires. On the other hand, it's quite probable that for those not initiated into this field of knowledge such words may be practically unknown. In fact, they do not belong to the vocabulary which people habitually use in everyday life. And so, if in place of exegesis and hermeneutics, we were to speak about the study of the text and the current meaning of its message, I am sure that the above-mentioned difficulty would be automatically superseded.3 The objective of my mentioning this is not to do a detailed study of these disciplines, which is much beyond our realistic possibilities of time 1 This text is a reduced version and with some variants of the article published in the Boletín Dei Verbum, no. 108 (2018). 2 See B.

Prot. 444/2011). OI am thankful to the Lord, to our Virgin Mother and to all of you for the opportunity to perform this service. I fully realize that this is very serious and will absorb all my energies. I trust in the help of God, my collaborators and the new Presidential Board. With humility and de- termination I call upon everyone to join me in our common work. Each of us in his own area of expertise and responsibility and with his own personality is working for our common good – the Faculty. A spirit of collaboration and co-responsibility will be the key to my program for the next three years (2011-2014). I MARY, THE MOTHER OF JESUS, THE IMAGE OF SYNODALITY AND THEOLOGICAL DIALOGUE Our times witness and often suffer from an irresponsible personal, inter-personal and social im- permanence. For years the scholar, Zygmunt Bauman, has pointed out how this transience can in an instant consume and dismiss beliefs, individuals, experiences and things. During his Decem- ber 10, 1988 visit, Blessed John Paul II stated that the «Marianum» is an integral part of the Church. The Church and its institutions are credible to the extent that they are synodal , places of stability where communion is pursued and built in the habitus and style of theology: how it is taught, passed on and served.1 Through Mariology intellectual charity, the very soul of theology, reveals the essential need for connection and synthesis.

  • Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord
    The Holy See SOLEMNITY OF THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD BENEDICT XVI ANGELUS Saint Peter's Square Friday, 6 January 2012 (Video) Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today, the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord, I have ordained two new bishops in St Peter’s Basilica, so please forgive the delay. This Feast of the Epiphany is a very ancient Feast whose origins date back to the Christian East and which highlights the mystery of the manifestation of Jesus Christ to all peoples, represented by the Magi who came to worship the King of the Jews just born in Bethlehem, as St Matthew’s Gospel recounts (cf. 2:1-12). This “new light” that was lit on Christmas night (cf. Preface of Christmas I) is beginning to shine on the world today, as the image of the star suggests, a heavenly portent that attracted the attention of the Magi and guided them on their journey to Judea. The entire season of Christmas and Epiphany is marked by the theme of light. In the northern hemisphere this is also linked to the fact that after the winter solstice the days begin to lengthen in comparison with the nights. However, Christ’s word applies for all peoples, over and above their geographical location: “I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (Jn 8:12).
