Opis

Words of Hope presents excerpts from the writings of the twentieth century Christian martyr, Alfred Delp (1907ż1945), a Jesuit priest executed by the Nazis. The book, designed to be opened anywhere, offers an immediate word of spiritual guidance, reflection, or consolation on every page.Father Delpżs writings indicate that he had recognized the cause of distress afflicting people of his time, who had become żincapable of Godż and needed help. żMan can place himself as a hindrance between himself and the coming kingdom of God in two ways: through the personal condition of his life that he has decided upon, and through the social order of his life in which he finds himself, and which he tolerates or supports.ż Hence, man must be led back to himself and made receptive for God, because żGod belongs to the defi nition of what it means to be human,ż and, żthe minimum in personal attitude that man has to muster is his alert and willing openness to God.ż The prerequisite for all further efforts, according to Delp, would be the establishment of a new social order. In this, he brought together the social justice teachings of the Church and the personal dignity of man, in the idea of a żpersonal socialismż, his żThird Ideaż, which would independently, as something new, stand in opposition to individualism and Marxist socialism. ż This, Delpżs vision from 1944/45, applies today to challenges of solidarity and current social conditions. (From the Introduction by Rita Haub)
