PRIMERA SECCIÓN LA VOCACIÓN DEL HOMBRE: LA VIDA EN EL ESPÍRITU #267

CAPÍTULO PRIMERO

LA DIGNIDAD DE LA PERSONA HUMANA

ARTÍCULO 2 NUESTRA VOCACIÓN A LA BIENAVENTURANZA

III. La bienaventuranza cristiana

Resumen

Las bienaventuranzas recogen y perfeccionan las pro-mesas de Dios desde Abraham ordenándolas al Reino de los cielos. Responden al deseo de felicidad que Dios ha puesto en el corazón del hombre.

Las bienaventuranzas nos enseñan el fin último al que Dios nos llama: el Reino, la visión de Dios, la participa-ción en la naturaleza divina, la vida eterna, la filiación, el descanso en Dios.

La bienaventuranza de la vida eterna es un don gratuito de Dios; es sobrenatural como también lo es la gracia que conduce a ella.

Las bienaventuranzas nos colocan ante opciones decisi-vas con respecto a los bienes terrenos; purifican nuestro corazón para enseñarnos a amar a Dios sobre todas las cosas.

La bienaventuranza del cielo determina los criterios de discernimiento en el uso de los bienes terrenos en con-formidad a la Ley de Dios.

ARTÍCULO 3 LA LIBERTAD DEL HOMBRE

Dios ha creado al hombre racional confiriéndole la digni-dad de una persona dotada de la iniciativa y del dominio de sus actos. “Quiso Dios “dejar al hombre en manos de su propia decisión”, de modo que busque a su Creador sin coacciones y, adhiriéndose a Él, llegue libremente a la plena y feliz perfección”:

El hombre es racional, y por ello semejante a Dios; fue creado libre y dueño de sus actos.

I. Libertad y responsabilidad

La libertad es el poder, radicado en la razón y en la vo-luntad, de obrar o de no obrar, de hacer esto o aquello, de ejecutar así por sí mismo acciones deliberadas. Por el libre arbitrio cada uno dispone de sí mismo. La libertad es en el hombre una fuerza de crecimiento y de madura-ción en la verdad y la bondad. La libertad alcanza su perfección cuando está ordenada a Dios, nuestra biena-venturanza. Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica Padre Albeiro

SECTION ONE MAN'S VOCATION LIFE IN THE SPIRIT #267

CHAPTER ONE

THE DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON

ARTICLE 2 OUR VOCATION TO BEATITUDE III. Christian beatitude In brief The Beatitudes take up and fulfill God's promises from Abraham on by ordering them to the Kingdom of heaven. They respond to the desire for happiness that God has placed in the human heart. The Beatitudes teach us the final end to which God calls us: the Kingdom, the vision of God, participation in the divine nature, eternal life, filiation, rest in God. The beatitude of eternal life is a gratuitous gift of God. It is supernatural, as is the grace that leads us there. The Beatitudes confront us with decisive choices con-cerning earthly goods; they purify our hearts in order to teach us to love God above all things. The beatitude of heaven sets the standards for dis-cernment in the use of earthly goods in keeping with the law of God. ARTICLE 3 MAN'S FREEDOM God created man a rational being, conferring on him the dignity of a person who can initiate and control his own actions. "God willed that man should be 'left in the hand of his own counsel,' so that he might of his own accord seek his Creator and freely attain his full and blessed perfection by cleaving to him." Man is rational and therefore like God; he is created with free will and is master over his acts. I. Freedom and responsibility Freedom is the power, rooted in reason and will, to act or not to act, to do this or that, and so to perform deliberate actions on one's own responsibility. By free will one shapes one's own life. Human freedom is a force for growth and maturity in truth and goodness; it attains its perfection when directed toward God, our beatitude.
