“Adam,
where are you?” (Gen 3,9). In the biblical tradition, God’s call is a call into
being out of dust, a call to life, a call to become truly human.
In
the Gospel, this call takes a concrete form in the person of Jesus of Nazareth:
a response to God’s call involves the following of Christ (cf. Jn 1:38).
It
is an encounter of wonder, the birth of an adventure that traverses history.
The
27th International Ecumenical Conference on Orthodox Spirituality, organized in
collaboration with the Orthodox Churches (Bose, 4-6 September 2019), seeks to
rediscover the radicality and strength of the call to the Christian life, in
the Church, in the world, in history, by listening to the Orthodox spiritual
tradition.
According
to the Vita, Anthony the Great, the “father of the monks”, in obedience to the
Gospel sells everything and, following the Lord, he goes into the desert: it is
the beginning of a movement of Christian radicalism, the roots of monasticism.
The Fathers of the Christian East, from Basil to Chrysostom, have always
stressed the radicalism of the Christian vocation, in its two dimensions of
celibacy lived for the Kingdom (Mt 19:12) and of the fruitfulness of love
between man and woman according to God’s plan (Mt 19:5-6).
Rethinking
the rich and multiform tradition of the Christian East, the conference papers
seek to explore the Orthodox theology of the monastic vocation and of marriage,
the special charism of women in the life of the Church, the meaning of the life
of a Christian community, the presence of beauty present in the Christian life,
the Christian hope at different stages of life, also in the face of illness,
suffering, death.
Life
in Christ is witness to the possibility of a life full of meaning, a hope for
all always present in the heart of humanity and creation.
