The core issue of modernity is a wound to the human person, leading to a breakdown in concepts like identity, justice, freedom, and love. The path to recovery involves understanding the person not as a self-created object but as a subject with inherent dignity, meant for relationship and communion. True freedom is defined as self-gift for the good of others, and love is the ultimate realization of being, found in willing the good of another.

The initial step in addressing modern existential issues involves relearning how to perceive reality accurately, free from distortions caused by ideology or the pursuit of power. It posits that phenomenology, which advocates for a "return to the things themselves," provides a path for this recovery by emphasizing unbiased observation and receptivity to being.

Explores the concept of the "existential wound," arguing that denying fundamental reality—truth, goodness, and essence—leads to a deep personal and societal collapse.

Centers on the post-resurrection encounter between Jesus and his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, as described in the Gospel of John. It highlights Jesus' use of the affectionate term "children" (paidia) and the significance of Peter recognizing Jesus through love rather than sight. The text focuses on the triple questioning of Peter's love by Jesus, exploring the different Greek words used for love (agapao and phileo) and how Peter's response reveals his humility and sincere, though imperfect, affection.

Explores the Christian belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, positing it as an event that surpasses typical human understanding and is foundational to the entire Christian faith.

Introduction to Second Corinthians

Explores Divine Mercy as a fundamental aspect of God's identity, revealed through Jesus Christ as a self-giving love (agape) that seeks humanity's restoration rather than condemnation. It examines the concept of personhood as being created in God's image with the capacity for love, referencing biblical stories like the Prodigal Son and Lazarus to illustrate the nature of God's merciful actions that transcend justice to heal and reconcile.
