    Palabra de Dios y vocación. El icono joánico del «discípulo amado». Contribución a la reflexión sinodal
    (Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2018) De-Virgilio, G. (Giuseppe)
    This article analyzes the biblical-theological theme of vocation by proposing a vocational reading of the Johannine figure of the «Beloved Disciple» in the context of the preparatory document of the XV Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, Young People, the Faith and Vocational Discernment (January 1, 2017). This article is composed of three chapters: (1) the relevance of vocation in Benedict XVI’s Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Verbum Domini; (2) the importance of the «stories of calling» in the Bible; (3) the «Beloved Disciple» as a young icon of vocational discernment. This study shows that a profound reflection on the reality of vocation allows one to better interpret the relationship between God and man. In the course of the Fourth Gospel, the figure of the «Beloved Disciple» particularly assumes an interesting revelatory and pedagogical role in relation to the youths’ life decisions and to vocational discernment.

    La vocación cristiana laical: renovar el mundo con Cristo
    (Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2018) Bosch, V. (Vicente)
    The lay Christian vocation, as a way of following Christ closely in the midst of one’s professional and social tasks, has been rediscovered by the ecclesiology of communion elaborated in the Second Vatican Council, which conceives the mission of the Church in its twofold dimension: «to bring the message and grace of Christ to men» and «to penetrate and perfect the temporal order with the spirit of the Gospel» (AA n.5). Therefore, the sanctified and sanctifying work of the laity in the midst of the world, which aims at restoring the temporal order, has a theological and ecclesial character and, consequently, constitutes a true vocation, which the pastoral ministry of the Church must promote by placing Christ as its foundation and model.
