20.500.12556/RUL-182609 Vzdihljaji oz. »strelne molitve« kot rdeča nit krščanskega življenja diplomsko delo Aspirational, or ejaculatory, prayers as the guiding thread of Christian life Diplomsko delo izpostavlja izziv svetopisemskega povabila k stalni molitvi. Kot odgovor nanj predstavlja starodavno, a še vedno aktualno krščansko prakso ponavljanja kratke molitve, ki je posamezniku pri srcu in si jo izbere ali oblikuje sam. V mednarodnem prostoru se to imenuje praksa strelnih molitev. Njen namen je ohraniti ogenj molitve stalno živ (3 Mz 6,6), tako da molitev in misel na Boga niti med opravljanjem vsakdanjih opravil ne izostaneta. Ker je to oblika molitve, ki jo je mogoče vpeljati v vse pore človeškega življenja, jo lahko upravičeno poimenujemo »rdeča nit krščanskega življenja«. Povezuje in prepleta se namreč z drugimi stebri krščanske duhovnosti (evharistijo, molitvenim bogoslužjem, branjem Svetega pisma; uporabljamo jo lahko tudi v času, ki ga namenimo izključno molitvi, saj je sestavni del kontemplativne molitve) in povezuje vse človekove opravke v skladno celoto. Njen cilj je doseči nenehno molitev oz. življenje v trajni zavesti Božje navzočnosti. Ta se ne odvija na nekakšni suhoparni mentalni ali intelektualni ravni, marveč na ravni medosebnega odnosa, saj ne more biti nič drugega kot ljubezen edini možni končni smoter in cilj življenja slehernega človeškega bitja. Diplomsko delo v prvem poglavju podaja definicijo strelne molitve in opis njenih ključnih lastnosti ter svetopisemsko in teološko utemeljitev poziva k stalni molitvi. V drugem poglavju predstavi zgodovinski razvoj prakse strelnih molitev na krščanskem vzhodu in zahodu vse do današnjih dni. V tretjem poglavju predstavi uvrstitev prakse strelnih molitev med glavne stebre krščanske duhovnosti ter prepletenost z njimi. V zadnjem poglavju obravnava praktične nasvete pri uporabi strelnih molitev v vsakdanjem življenju, saj je diplomsko delo izrazito praktično usmerjeno in je njegov namen pomagati bralcem navezati, oživiti in poglobiti osebni odnos z Bogom – ravno s pomočjo omenjene molitvene prakse. The bachelor’s thesis addresses the challenge posed by the biblical call to unceasing prayer. In response, it presents an ancient yet still relevant Christian practice: the repetition of a short prayer that is personally meaningful and either chosen or composed by the individual. In an international context, this practice is referred to as aspirational prayer (traditionally known in theological literature as ejaculatory prayer, from Latin iaculatoria). Its purpose is to keep the fire of prayer constantly alive (cf. Lev 6:6), so that prayer and the remembrance of God do not cease even amid everyday activities. As this form of prayer can be integrated into every aspect of human life, it may justifiably be described as the “guiding thread of Christian life.” This practice is closely connected and interwoven with other pillars of Christian spirituality, such as the Eucharist, the liturgy of the Hours, and the reading of Sacred Scripture; it can also be practiced during times dedicated exclusively to prayer, as it constitutes an integral part of contemplative prayer. In this way, it unifies all human activities into a coherent whole. Its ultimate aim is to attain unceasing prayer, that is, a life lived in constant awareness of the presence of God. This awareness does not unfold on a merely superficial mental or intellectual level, but on the level of an interpersonal relationship, since nothing other than love can be the sole possible meaning and ultimate goal of the life of every human being. In its first chapter, the thesis offers a definition of aspirational prayer, describes its key characteristics, and provides the biblical and theological foundations of the call to unceasing prayer. The second chapter presents the historical development of the practice of aspirational prayers in both Eastern and Western Christianity up to the present day. The third chapter examines the place of aspirational prayer among the principal pillars of Christian spirituality and its interconnection with them. The final chapter offers practical guidance for the use of aspirational prayers in everyday life, as the thesis is explicitly practice-oriented and aims to help readers establish, vivify, and deepen their personal relationship with God through the aforementioned prayer practice. molitev vzdihljaji strelne molitve pobožni vzkliki invokacije praksa strelnih molitev nenehna molitev odnos z Bogom krščanska duhovnost prayer aspirational prayers ejaculatory prayers practice of aspirational prayers unceasing prayer relationship with God Christian spirituality true false false [T.
