Severová, Marie ; Lorman, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Sládek, Karel (referee)
4 Abstract Forgiveness and reconciliation as a manifestation of dialogic relationship Suffering and disease belongs to human life as well as death. They may have a specific culprit, but there are also crosses, which themselves can not be avoided. Taking the correct attitude in recognition of its own share of guilt, forgiveness of one another, but the adoption of forgiveness restores interpersonal dialogic space. It depends only on the personal decision of whether a person has for himself or for another love or hate. The proces sof healing relationships with oneself and the other person is not instantaneous, but takes place gradually. The correct concept of God from the biblical Revelation, who is dialogical himself, that Love itself, leads to a liberating faith and full life. By recognizing thein own guilt and desire to remedy the relationship of neighbour and God forgiveness and confidence in the celebration of the sacrament of recontiliation is open space for a new beginning. Eternal life is loneliness, while a man staggering out of isolation into a true unity with all our brothers. The encounter with Christ is meeting with his whole body.

Another aspect of the work is searching for the criterion if the creation of musical work can be seen as spiritual or if it can't; the necessity of connection and life with the God's person, the Holy Ghost, unification with him and gradually growing into something which the artist can create in connection with the Holy Ghost and what through the Holy Ghost creates the spiritual work.

Bearing the fruit of the Spirit as a standard for Christian life
Kopečková, Michala ; Lorman, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Sládek, Karel (referee)
Title: Bearing the fruit of the Spirit as a standard for Christian life (bachelors thesis) Author: Michala Kopečková Year: 2015 Abstract The bachelor thesis "Bearing the fruit of the Spirit as a standard for Christian life" deals with the question, whether it is possible to use the fruit of the Spirit named by Paul in Galatians as a criterion for Christian ethics. Paul speaks about the fruit of the Spirit in the opposition to the work of flesh, as he defends the freedom of Christians from Jewish Law. That freedom could not be the excuse for wantonness, Christians should be guided by the Spirit and bear his fruit. The symbol of bearing the fruit is quite frequent both in the Old and New Testament. It signifies the outer display of the inner attitude and illustrates the necessity of simultaneous work of man and God's grace. In the tradition of Church the topic has been handled since the beginning, in more detail in Augustin, Thomas Aquinas or Bonaventura. On the other hand, in large compendiums of moral theology the topic is seldom and only briefly treated. The encyclics Veritatis splendor and Dominum et Vivificantem and the document of the Pontifical Biblical Commission The Bible and Morality are leaving more space to it. The topic is also current because it contrasts with some nowadays temptations, such as...

The diversity of personality and spirituality types in the priesthood
Beran, Jiří ; Sládek, Karel (advisor) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee)
The diversity of personality and forms of spirituality in the priesthood Every priest, who received the serving, sacramental priesthood, should try to be another Christ. Nevertheless, each person is an original however, and his behavior is influenced by inherited characteristics, congenital conditions, and different life stories. During my studies of theology, I tried to explain the differences related to the priests I followed, by their different attitude toward Christ and his church. During my studies, I also started to perceive the importance of the priest's attitude toward the humanity of Christ. The connexion to the orthodoxy has always attraced me. While I was writing my thesis, I tried to find the answer to the differencies in the diversity, which, for many people within the church, is a problem to settle with, or to justify. So, the thesis is dedicated to the research of the personalities of the priests, to their own attitude, their own spirituality, and its influence on people. I would like this thesis to help to make people understand that we can all reach the same Destination by using more possible ways, which depend on our humanity and our nature. I am convinced that just the good spirituality is something which respects the diversity and the unrepeatability of the particular ways. Key...

Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as an Integral Part of the Priestly Spirituality
Mudra, Josef ; Sládek, Karel (advisor) ; Lorman, Jaroslav (referee)
Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as an Integral Part of the Priestly Spirituality [manuscript]: Diploma thesis / Josef Mudra; tutor: Karel Sládek. -- Prague, 2013. -- 83 pg. The submitted thesis aims to define the topic of the Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as an integral part of the identity and spirituality of a diocesan priest. The essence of the priestly vocation lies in the continuation of the presence of Christ, the only High Priest, Head of the Church. Through the Sacrament of Orders, the ordained presbyter with the grace of the Holy Spirit likens Christ - the Priest, the Master and the Shepherd and thereby he participates in the mission of Christ as the Head without refraining from being a limb of the Mystical Body. Being an apostle, he continues to be a disciple. On the contrary, his apostolate has been growing from a permanent position of discipleship. Only in the position of a constant docile listening to the Lord, the priest can be a teacher; only as a sheep which commits itself to the Good Shepherd, he could be a shepherd to the flock entrusted to him; only when being lively aware of the fact that Christ loved him and brought himself as a sacrifice, he is able to offer the daily Sacrifice together with the Lord. The priest's activity is based on the union with Christ, on...

Dream about the Paradise on Earth in the Work of Dostojevskij
Netopilová, Barbora ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Sládek, Karel (referee)
The dream about an earthly paradise, rediscovery of an original, absolutely harmonic paradisal life is, in Dostoevskij's opinion, one of the deepest and the most valuable dreams of the human heart. The spiritual course of any human being has its own history, it is born from thesis (babtism), goes through antithesis (crises) and finishes in synthesis (beauty). A man comes from the Eden Paradise and aims at heaven. So, a man in course of his spiritual life is in a real split into two paradises: the Eden Paradise from which he is coming from and the Kingdom of God where he is aiming at. The midpoint of the life course is accompanied by a crisis, that can also be described as separation from the the paradise. The characters of novels by Dostoevskij failed due to the fact, that they were not able to admit their presence between two "paradise states" and so their ideas about earthly paradise establishment were being corrupted. In our piece of work we are going to follow four trends: 1. Time corruption, incorrectly understood sense of history. The tendency to return back where a man came from, in an origenestic, cyclic interpretation of a comeback is apparent in a story The Dream of a Ridiculous Man. Another extreme shows marxism ideas going around Europe which deny both the importance and the sense of...

Understanding Work in the Social Teaching of the Church
Nohel, Petr ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Sládek, Karel (referee)
The title of this bachelor thesis is "Understanding Work in the Social Teaching of the Church". Individual topics related to the field of work and general human activity are presented here in accordance with social encyclicals written from 1891 to 1991. Each theme connected to work is presented gradually, so that its genesis, conception and development can be followed, depending on the changeable conditions of each time period. It becomes obvious that the basic postulates of encyclicals stay compact in their general frames, they are, however, modified by different popes. Moreover, each pope puts emphasis on specific aspects of the themes, according to current needs of social evolution. Consequently, social encyclicals show a number of phenomena changing within one hundred years. These are for example: right to work and strike, work of women and children, redistribution of estates, value of earnings or spirituality of work as human contribution to creation.
