Creation of Man
(...) then Yahweh Elohim formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being"

"And I'm dying of hunger here / I'll get up and go to my father"

The Book of Hosea: I drew them (that is, Israel) with human bonds, and they were bonds of love. I was to them like one who lifts a baby to his cheek; I bent down to him and fed him.
Hosea 11:4

Book of Amos
Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord God,
when I send famine to the land
neither hunger for bread nor thirst for water
but the hunger to hear the words of the Lord
Then they will wander from sea to sea,
from north to east they will circle,
to find the word of the Lord
but they won't find him.
Am 8-11n

Both believers and non-believers often shy away from the Bible because they believe it's "boring." Nothing could be further from the truth. It's true that there are texts there that can bore us, especially if we try to read them without proper preparation.
The difficulties arise from the very nature of the Bible, this great collection of books that took so long to come into being, so long ago, and in a world so very different from ours.
The Holy Bible is the Word of God, but it is also truly fascinating reading.

Literary genres in the Bible

The 73 books of the Bible contain texts written in a wide variety of styles. The "primordial history" (the first 11 chapters of Genesis) is written differently.
"Religious stories" are different, which refer everything directly to God (like the Book of Chronicles). "Religious-national epics" are different, with numerous ornaments (like the texts of the Book of Exodus, the Book of Joshua). Historical books are written differently, and their details are the fruit of the authors' artistic spirit (like the Book of Esther). Didactic stories are different (like the Book of Job). Apocalyptic texts are a completely unique literary genre.

The rosary is a prayer that organizes the breath and thoughts. No great knowledge or perfect concentration is required—simply move the beads slowly and allow your heart to calm with the rhythm of the words.

It's like walking with Mary through the most important moments of Jesus' life: a little light, a little hardship, a little hope. Each decade is a small step that can be taken even when one is tired or "not really feeling well."

The Rosary does not require perfection—it generates it. In silence, little by little, day by day.

And that Her Presence does not obscure the Lord Jesus.

The Bible - The source of our culture and civilization

University departments, institutions, commissions, associations, and biblical institutes exist specifically for the study of Sacred Scripture. Although it is not a scholarly work, it is an inspiration for scholarship.
Sacred Scripture has been with humanity through times of progress and backwardness. Misunderstood, it has been a source of painful conflict and tension. It has been drawn into religious, ideological, and worldview battles, as, for example, with Copernican theory and the Galileo affair.
It is a source of inspiration for artists, painters, sculptors, musicians, poets and writers, architects, as well as film directors.
All who read it—both believers and atheists—seek wisdom, preparation for life, prudence, comfort, information, and the joy of communing with God's word. It was written by human beings under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
The Bible is divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament. The word "Testament" in Greek, in Hellenistic legal terminology, meant a statement of the terms someone wished to impose in connection with an agreement.
The emphasis is placed not so much on the power of the legal act itself, but on the power of the One who is the guarantor—God, the One who sets the course for things. This covenant obligated the people to reject other gods, to observe God's Laws, and especially to be faithful to God.
The Old Testament describes God's struggle for his unfaithful people; the New Testament is the blessing of Jesus, who came, sent by the Father, to reconcile the world with himself and with God by fulfilling God's Plan.

The whole truth about relationships

 

 

 

 

Z reguły jesteśmy najbardziej szczęśliwi, kiedy własnym sumptem osiągamy sukces w jakiejś dziedzinie. Idziemy przez życie, eksploatując swoje pokłądy sił i ta pogoń nigdy się nie kończy. Nigdy nie możemy stwierdzić, że jest nasycony wiedzą, bo wiedza wymaga nieustających aktualizacji. A nasze życie jest krótkie i w pewnym momencie  wymaga usensownienia. Takie wparcie dają relacje- z Bogiem, z drugim człowiekiem. Z tego wypływa uważność, pragnienie dobra, prawdy i piękna, otarcia się o sprawy transcendentne .

To może dać  Biblia, która zmusza nas do innego myślenia, do zostawienia świata za sobą. Do pójścia w głąb, do czytania o sprawach, które angażują inne metody krytyczne.
Do pewnego stopnia możemy poddawać Biblię analizie jak inne dzieła literackie i tak się czyni. ( na przykład, aby "odlepić" naleciałości językowe i treściowe poczynione przez biblijnych kopistów, którzy gdy nie było druku, powielali Pismo) 
Wracając do tematu. Możemy się gniewać, że niby odebrana jest nam sprawczość i teraz "ten drugi" będzie wpływał na nasze decyzje - ale w tym tkwi sęk- takie podejście do spawy uczy, nie deprecjonuje. 
Musimy uwierzyć, ze tak jest dobrze.
Idąc dalej tym tropem postanowiłam podjąć studia teologiczne w Stołecznym Instytucie Biblijnym w Warszawie. 
Poznanie nie jest sprzeczne z Bożym porządkiem świata. 
Rozum jest takim samym darem Bożym, jak i  inne dary.  
Nie oszukujmy się - wiara to wszystko- z mojego punktu widzenia trudno to studiować i w nic nie wierzyć. Ja chcę na tych studiach poznać Boga, poznać Jezusa. Oprzeć się na Matce. 
Kiedyś, gdy narodzę się do życia w Niebie, a zakładam, ze tak właśnie będzie, to będę przygotowana choć po części, wierząc, że po śmierci też jest coś, nie tylko rozkład organiczny.

The Story of the Shepherds - The Legacy of Peter.

From the moment Jesus looked at Peter and said, “You are the rock on which I will build my Church,” one of the most extraordinary stories of spiritual leadership in history began. For more than two thousand years, popes—the saints, the controversial, the quiet, and the charismatic—have guided the Church through the storms and blessings of the ages.

This is not a dry chronicle. It is the story of people who bore the weight of the keys of the Kingdom, sometimes with humility, sometimes with fear, sometimes with more courage than the world was prepared to accept. From St. Peter, the fisherman of Galilee, to Benedict XVI, the theologian with the heart of a monk—each of them left a mark worth discovering.

I invite you on this journey. Not to judge, but to understand. Not to seek perfection, but to see humanity in service to God.

About

My name is Mariola Szyszkiewicz

Out of nowhere a question arises.
Jesus asks, and the question is: Who do you say that I am?
The friends are perplexed. For Elijah. For John the Baptist. For one of the prophets. Maybe... Maybe the longed-for Messiah will finally come, perhaps even in the guise of Elijah, the prophet, before he himself becomes a prophet, who knows?
What matters is that he comes in glory, armed, with a sword, to plunge it into the hated Romans to the hilt. Straight to the heart.
And indeed. Jesus strikes straight to the heart.
And Jesus asks: Who do you say that I am?
My question is this: Who is He? Why another page about a first-century Jew? Why did I spend years studying the history of an itinerant preacher from the countryside? Theology speaks of a perfect symbiosis of the spiritual and living. He was God, yet human. Jesus had a body like you and me, meaning he ate, drank, and slept. He experienced sexual desires and needs. The adult Jesus felt joy and sadness, laughing at things he found amusing, and crying at moments of loss. He was weary at the end of the day and sometimes sick. He strained muscles, had stomach problems, and perhaps broke a bone or two. Like all of us, he sweated, snored, and sneezed.
Jesus experienced everything - except sin.
Let's not focus entirely on His divine nature, because we will distort His mission. Jesus' humanity poses a problem even for some Christians. Perhaps Jesus is tired of it? Physically weary. The Gospel episodes—in which He displays strong, perhaps even unattractive, human emotions—can unsettle those who prefer to focus on His divine nature.

The culmination of this Jesus-like trait is the request of a non-Jewish woman to heal her daughter. Here, Jesus utters the most humiliating words he has ever spoken to a human being: "It is not lawful to take bread from the mouths of children and throw it to the dogs."
When the woman replies that even puppies get crumbs from the table, Jesus relents and heals the daughter.
This human trait, it is also true that man is exposed to the temptation of anger.
But the divinity of Jesus is also exposed to disbelief, shame, and the inability to accept the fact that He is simply God.
He is true God and true Man.
Being close to Jesus we also experience his nature, we are constantly surprised by his behavior, which is at odds with rational and modern minds, where the fact of a supernatural presence can arouse anxiety and shame.
It's time to look inside ourselves and think: How much truth is there in my perception of Jesus? If I cut out from His nature what is uncomfortable for me, then we are no longer talking about the real Jesus, but it is already our own creation.
And that's what this blog is about.
I invite you to this journey..
