A look at the Memorial of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla
"The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." (2 Cor 3, 17)
The Saint Gianna Beretta Molla is a unique example in our time, the incessantly on Christian values, feminism and the role of women, in a time when the debate on the pros and cons of abortion and the question is, how desirable it today really still a family is based on how much the children and sacrifice them for his own career thinking, are preferable to one's self? Sure: "No woman," says Ulrich Greiner in a TIME article Related Radisch firmly on an essay by Iris, "will make its decision depending for or against a child from the situation of the pension system and the view of the age pyramid And I did. can well understood that the colleague Radisch appalled by the bigotry with which a seemingly aroused public the problem of the lack of children simply unloads on young women, while in truth all of us. has now but Iris Radisch the real culprits identified, namely the men. "In other defends Ulrich Greiner," the "men and has the fault of you, but not further to the problem of children lack in yourself, which in my opinion is rather that the child no longer those positive role in the human race has, as it has long been the case. While it today as a threat to individualism, which under the cover of the trendy term is therefore of self-discovery, seen, they recognized all of humanity throughout history until a century ago as a blessing. Children, new people, today rejected as a threat to their own future and of space, which individualization is as deeply rooted selfishness, if not even realize there Narßismus. Today's selfishness shows itself especially in an excessive acting out a personality that is visible Nachaussenkehren an apparent individuality. But this individuality in truth a lie and is both an ancient reality, however, and thus the individualization of Indivuums no revolution, but rather a make fools of themselves is not detected. The truth but urges the "individual" in the mass and any "other-be-do" must fail because that is a complete otherness can never be achieved. Simultaneous want to withdraw into force and leads by a uniformed individual mass finally just at that never-ending "self-discovery and auto-detection trend" that prevails today, because you never can be quite different are the self. A no less important reason why people seem to know so little about themselves, and this is perhaps a failure of the Enlightenment, people always said only that they are "rational individuals", but not what they have to do with this formula, to them most say just how to be and not as they are. This does today now the (advertising) industry, much less tell you how we are to be adopted as well, but rather, we are like: we are too fat, we are too old, we take too bad a car, we smell bad, etc., after which we will be fooled that we are much better with certain products, which implies that the identity is actually described by possession and the "individual character" expresses. The question of the self is so often more a question of ownership: "What will I have?". Sequence of the entire customization process is an ongoing revival of the Individual and his personality with his possession, for purposes of withdrawals from the crowd, without which he will ever end.
Can this behavior, but immediately reject rate or even raise even understand? That can only be, because if you look at the globalized world keeps this in mind, the full competition, thus bringing mass unemployment and poverty may, it is understandable why employing a customization process that promotes the opportunity to stand out from the crowd to, just for the purpose of being different and thus increase the "market value". That it also has a growing Provokationismus must be almost mandatory. This phenomenon is not only a real individual but also carries over to all systems, such as the media to speak out different institutions by "individual" profiles when it comes to provocation to it eventually under the code word "brand" Republic of make, such as MTV shows the current example, the aptly says about himself: ". We are MTV we like to polarize, we like to provoke, we also like to scrape the taboos are core values of our brand.." Yes, that is modern and is in individualistic-oriented companies on a number of individuals transferred accordingly. Since the free market economy as well on a is individualism-based political-economic ideology, which is dominated by capitalist competition, it is in any attempt at a special, attention-grabbing individuality, and just so it is possible to survive around the plain. From this perspective, the assumption can be understood that the children receive is perceived as blocking, particularly but allowed to live independently on the background of an ongoing propaganda against the child and for the freedom of the (female) individual, for freedom, for liberty, to decide, may be able to do for the freedom of all, whenever you want to do it. This highlights a further point namely an increase in swallows its pride in the freedom of ideology, the attempt to achieve a freedom that can not be achieved that is worth to investigate itself. This, therefore, attempting to complete, for the autonomous, yes to freedom freedom and the will to always do everything you want, this pure egoism, which is to some, a will to power (which must in turn restrict the freedom of others), go hand in hand. But man is not "condemned to freedom" (Sartre). You see, we are running into deep wounds of a modern, enlightened society shaped their investigation, I now want to run, however, as they would extend almost immeasurably.
So back to the actual starting point: the act of procreation, the evidence of children is thus with the increasing modernization has been a taboo, since it conflicts with the excessive or misdirected claim to freedom, so with their own selfishness in the conflict is. (But I will by no means saying that women who take the liberty given them claim to have children, generally selfish act, or even worse people.) Accordingly, tools invented to prevent the ultimate purpose of reproduction, since one to forego the act itself would not. A shift in values has taken place and no evidence the children is viewed as earlier, where one is raised to the expansion and thus ensure the existence of the family was proud, but the mere act itself, or rather the pleasure resulting from it. A previously unknown separation of reproduction and sexuality that go together in fact deeply has since taken its course. The child, the man should be in the future, so now something planned, which is under the control of reason, which the child is a mere product and sexuality is interchangeable, as finally the man or the woman herself
Just so for freedom: " you were called to freedom, brethren only take. freedom is not an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. "(5:13) it says in the letter to the Galatians and will probably clear reference to our previouse issue. The freedom seems limited so if it is misused for evil. We are certainly free to do so is evil, but .. do that separates us, a piece of the freedom of God, who is a totally free This is obvious because God is quite free to do in his, and who is in Christ, in his freedom is why we are also warned: " For freedom Christ has freed. Stand fast therefore and do not be again impose the yoke of bondage! "(5:1). The will, the hunger for freedom is the people settled, as we have noted above. Freedom is not to separate but the truth. " truth and freedom are combined with each other or they perish in misery. " (Fides et Ratio, n. 90). Freedom is not simply the ability to make indifferent or exchangeable decisions. It is focused on wealth, a fulfilling life that the person must be with the exercise of their freedom, but in "right way" (Recta Ratio) conquer. Freedom finds its meaning and consequently their truth by itself, is organizing in accordance with the nature of the human person, on their own goal. Consequently, the freedom inseparably bound to the truth of man created in God's image and is particularly strong in the love of God and neighbor (cf. Fides et Ratio).
This love for God and neighbor, the St. Gianna Beretta Molla has lived all over. In which she said "Save the Child", gave himself entirely to his neighbor, for her child. And when she said "Jesus, I love you", took it in simple words, but completely the love of God to their expression. In it, the Saint Gianna Beretta Molla be our role model.
