The Theology of Holiness According to St John Paul II
Bušková, Magda ; Novotný, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Červenková, Denisa (referee) ; Svatoň, Robert (referee)
v anglickém jazyce: The primary focus of this study on the theology of holiness, according to St John Paul II, is to explore how he understands and interprets Christian holiness and what perspective he brings to the subject. The study offers a brief view of the saints he beatified and canonised, followed by insight into the moments of his life and spirituality, exploring, in line with the approach of spiritual theology, the appeal to understand him from within. The study's approach further reflects the theme of holiness from the position of selected texts of the Second Vatican Council. It intentionally takes into account the post-conciliar interpretation of Karol Wojtyła to consider the roots of his theology of holiness. The research of the theology of holiness in John Paul II's magisterium follows within selected encyclicals, especially Redemptor Hominis, Dives in Misericordia, Dominum et Vivificantem, and Redemptoris Missio, to explore aspects and characteristics he emphasised. The basic thesis and the study's golden thread is the approach of Christian holiness described as the union of Jesus Christ with a Christian in the Holy Spirit and the realisation of such union in the Church. Klíčová slova v anglickém jazyce: St John Paul II, holiness, union with Christ, Holy Spirit, mission, kingdom of God

ŠRUBAŘ, Štěpán
The thesis describes the history of the foundation of pilgrimage site Římov in southern Bohemia in the 17th century that could be build thanks to a donation of the local farm to the Jesuit College in Krumlov. The most significant proponents were a Capuchin monk Alex and a Jesuit lay brother John Gurre. The area consists of a chapel built in close resemblance to the Italian model of Holy House in Loreto and a Way of Sorrows designed as a copy of the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem. The work shows the significance of sacred architecture in the life of Christians in the 17th century. The role of fraternities and Marian spirituality in traditional piety of Catholics of that period is also mentioned. Based on the regular annual reports sent by every Jesuit College, unusual events accompanying the first decades of the shrine as well as the economic issues of the Jesuit residence are described.

Hlásek, Vít ; Noble, Timothy (advisor) ; Bargár, Pavol (referee)
In the light of the dynamic societal changes that have occurred in the last few decades, the difficulties encountered by the church in her proclamation of the Good News of the coming of God's reign and in meeting the challenges posed by contemporary culture, the crisis of the missionary identity of the church and the inadequacy of its inherited ecclesiologies has been fully revealed. The Gospel and Our Culture Network (GOCN) in North America aims at the renewal of the church's missionary identity in order to help her to grasp better her task of witnessing in the world. GOCN argues that this goal cannot be achieved without thorough reflection on the gospel and culture and their dynamic interaction. This thesis Missional Church: The Characteristics of the Gospel and Our Culture Network's Conception of Missional Ecclesiology will acquaint its readers with GOCN, its historical development, its understanding of the gospel and the analysis of its context. However, the main purpose of this study is to present GOCN's concept of missional ecclesiology itself and assess it in relation to missio Dei and its contextual character. The church, according to GOCN, is an alternative community of witnesses called by God to participate in God's mission; the church shares in this missi- on as a representative of the...

Máchová, Ema ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Kolář, Pavel (referee)

The common grounds are based within the catholic church mission, history of education and modern approaches of free time pedagogy. Author search whether is possible to get over childern and young people for christian way of living throughout the free time activities. Salesians and The Seventh-day Adventists missionary effort range is appraised by interviews with particular church representatives and consecutive reflection. It's coming out from this groundwork, that this is not relevant within church free time activies in terms of mission persiding into baptism. Nevertheless such a church free time doing could have a missionary overleap through a leader of this free time activity. A missioner- pedagogue must be aware of his duty responsibility and not only during his role as a missioner-pedagogue, but in his whole life. Then we can speak about a mission arising from testimony of our own lifes.
