  • the fullness of Christ as the ground of hope : a theological and pastoral reading of Paul Ricoeur
    Vodičar, Janez, 1964-
    On the anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea, this article explores the Christological emphasis and implications of accepting the religious truth that Christ is consubstantial with ... the Father. It examines how this truth has shaped – and continues to shape – the pastoral ministry of hope today. In this Holy Year Pope Francis has called for a common pilgrimage of hope. Drawing on the insights of the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur, we seek to understand hope within both individual and communal life. At the same time, we explore the religious dimension that hope unveils through Ricoeur’s perspective. The incarnation of Jesus Christ as fully divine directs our attention to the significance of corporeality. We can only be pilgrims of hope through the body. This understanding is further connected to the Church’s synodal journey, which embraces all the baptized. Finally, we integrate the philosophical and sacramental perspectives on hope with the bodily dimension of the religious truth about Christ as affirmed by the Council of Nicaea. In doing so, we advocate for a pastoral ministry that encompasses the full reality of the human person.
