Wybrane aspekty miłości małżeńskiej w świetle encykliki Benedykta XVI Deus caritas est.
Journal Title: Studia Ełckie - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 3
Abstract
Benedict XVI, in encyclic Deus caritas est, showed the ideal of conjugal love. He reminded ancient words: eros, amor, philia, agape, caritas and explained their meaning. He discussed the issue of conjugal love in the context of Christian love, taking into consideration love as a divine gift and its sacramental dimension and reflecting the love of Jesus Christ to the Church. He himself makes a perfect sacrifice, dies for his Church. So also, the spouses make a sacrifice for the other, beloved person. The Christian approach to love, with its moral aspects, presents it as a way to holiness, taking into account the sinfulness of human nature. The anthropological dimension of conjugal love is sanctified when the spouses renounce their „I” direct themselves to „you”, and transform into „we” by the grace and blessing received from God. The Eucharist is the source of conjugal love. An important aspect of marriage is social reference, understood as caritas.
