64 II,14 | question about meaning for life~14. At the school of the
65 II,14 | we in the world? What is life? What is there beyond the
66 II,14 | removed. The meaning of life, today, rather than being
67 II,15 | explaining the mystery of life, in the light of Christ,
68 II,15 | even to the gift of his life. In fact "he came not to
69 II,15 | served, and to give his life..." (Mt 20, 28). Jesus is
70 II,15 | from Him, the source of life, every being receives its
71 II,16 | The Father calls to life~16. The existence of each

75 II,16 | contained: the vocation to life and to a life immediately
76 II,16 | vocation to life and to a life immediately conceived in
77 II,16 | the likeness of the divine life. If the Father is the eternal
78 II,16 | and therefore "to give life", to assume the life of
79 II,16 | give life", to assume the life of another.~The creative
80 II,16 | provokes the awareness that life is a consigning to freedom
81 II,16 | Love, the full meaning of life~In this perspective of the
82 II,16 | perspective of the call to life one thing is to be excluded:
83 II,16 | wonder before the gift of life.(30)~While it is more difficult
84 II,16 | understand the meaning of a life given, which will benefit
85 II,16 | order to understand that the life of each one, in every case
86 II,16 | then the perception that life is a gift should not only
87 II,16 | fundamental question of meaning: life is the masterpiece of the
88 II,16 | Love is the full meaning of life. God has so loved man as
89 II,16 | as to give him his very life and to make him capable
90 II,16(30) | birth. The welcome given to life illustrates belief in that
91 II,16 | God the creator who gives life, is also the Father who "
92 II,16 | of Baptism~This call to life and to the divine life is
93 II,16 | to life and to the divine life is celebrated in Baptism.
94 II,16 | In this way the Christian life acquires the significance
95 II,16 | is called the theological life.~Accordingly, fidelity to
96 II,16 | precise questions about one's life and oneself; above all in
97 II,16 | encourage oneself to live life not only based on human
98 II,16 | discern His will for one's own life and future.~
99 II,17 | follow Him, to share His life, His word, His death and
100 II,17 | What will I do with my life?", "What is my path?".~b)
101 II,17 | greatest love: to give one's life~To what does Jesus call
102 II,17 | with all people: to welcome life as a gift from the hands

104 II,17 | like Him, to make of one's life a gift. The sending-mission
105 II,17 | recognition of Him as Lord of life and history, brings with
106 II,17 | and mission, the Christian life needs strong motivations
107 II,17 | communicate to the world the life of the Father.~d) The Eucharist:

117 II,18 | the Word into life, and life according to the Word.~b)
118 II,18 | and proclaiming Him as the life of the world.~c) Holiness,
119 II,18 | understanding history and the life that flows from the death
120 II,18 | vocation.~There is a primacy of life in the Spirit, which is
121 II,18 | to forget the theological life of faith, hope and charity.
122 II,18 | primacy of the spiritual life is the premise for responding

127 II,19 | intensity in the spiritual life all contribute to making
128 II,19 | and definitive choice of life, opens up in three directions:
129 II,19 | world, is mission. It is life lived to the full because
130 II,19 | therefore it is life-giving: "life generates life".(43) Hence
131 II,19 | life-giving: "life generates life".(43) Hence the intrinsic
132 II,21 | formator of the Christian life, the most complete synthesis
133 II,21 | priesthood and to the monastic life if there is no return to
134 II,21 | the call and the spiritual life, and brings to maturity
135 II,21 | themselves to the monastic life, highly valuing the charism
136 II,22 | Church and of every human life as call and response. This
137 II,22 | summit"(51) of the Christian life and of the community called
138 II,22 | Church and is part of its life. Accordingly the ordained
139 II,22 | consecration in the monastic life and apostolic life, the
140 II,22 | monastic life and apostolic life, the lay vocation, the charism
141 II,22 | the societies of apostolic life, the vocation to marriage,
142 II,22 | new forms of consecrated life.~These different gifts of
143 III | understanding its meaning in the life of the Church.~It is precisely
144 III,24 | point of reference in the life of the believer and the
145 III,24 | decisive question about life: "what shall we do?" (2,
146 III,24 | of the Acts describes the life of the early community,
147 III,24 | the whole person, even his life (cf 6, 8-7,70). Saul, the

149 III,25 | it creates consistency of life, principally, in the one

165 III,26 | the elementary values of life, the faith, gratitude-gratuity,

169 III,26 | is not made only once in life ("take it or leave it")
170 III,26 | because in every time of life the Lord's invitation to

224 IV,35 | cannot know completely.~His life is not totally in his own
225 IV,35 | in his own hands, because life is a mystery and, on the
226 IV,35 | other hand, the mystery is life; or rather, the mystery
227 IV,35 | must still grow, rich in life and in existential possibilities
228 IV,35 | refusing a conception of life that is repetitive and passive,
229 IV,35 | desire that the Author of life Himself reveals the meaning
230 IV,35 | God!~c) Educating to read life~In the Gospel Jesus invites
231 IV,35 | in some way to go back to life, to those events that caused
232 IV,35 | this way the reading of life becomes a highly spiritual
233 IV,35 | sowed in the furrows of life. That seed, even though

240 IV,36 | Recognition of the truth of life~At this point in an authentic
241 IV,36 | sign, of the meaning of life. If the Eucharist is the
242 IV,36 | salvation of humanity, then the life of the believer, too, is
243 IV,36 | correlation of meanings: life, too, is a good received
244 IV,36 | become a good given, like the life of the Word. This is the
245 IV,36 | Word. This is the truth of life, of every life.~On the level
246 IV,36 | truth of life, of every life.~On the level of vocations,
247 IV,36 | constitutes him in being, then life has its path marked out:
248 IV,36 | catechesis of the meaning of life. If this anthropological
249 IV,36 | believer the meaning of life, then vocation is born of "
250 IV,36 | the reading of one's past life should lead. The discovery
251 IV,36 | it subverts the truth of life as a gift received that
252 IV,36 | is from this truth that life derives the form that it
253 IV,36 | priesthood and consecrated life. Therefore God's proposal,
254 IV,36 | but the sensation that His life, His Eucharist, His death
255 IV,36 | always be more than their own life, eucharist, death, mystery.~
256 IV,36 | recognition of Him as Lord of life and history, brings with
257 IV,37 | for the whole of one's life". (105)~a) The effective
258 IV,37 | and indicates newness of life.~It is precisely this decision
259 IV,37 | vocation indicates newness of life, but in reality it is also
260 IV,37 | priesthood and to the consecrated life, even creating obstacles
261 IV,37 | vocation to the consecrated life. An essential presupposition
262 IV,37 | mission of that state of life in the Church. (110)~This
263 IV,37 | often betrayed by later life.~b) The typically vocational
264 IV,37 | dialectic of the I and human life. For example, a young person
