O ser humano vocacionado à vida

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the human being as a vocation. The first call addressed by God to man is the call to life. This call manifests itself in na individual and personal way, because each human being was created by God in a special and unique way. Bearing in mind these dimensions of the human vocation, this work seeks to deepen the understanding of the relationship between God and the human creature in a dimension of call and response to a full life. We will seek to analyze the relationship between God and human beings with regard to the appreciation of life. Based on the Christian conception of the human being in Sacred Scripture, in the Magisterium of the Church, in the writings of the philosopher Edith Stein in relation to the structure of the human person and a field research with the application of a questionnaire. Some aspects of the person created in the image and likeness of God were sought as a guiding principle. It was noticed that in the current context, some people are losing the true meaning of life and, on the other hand, many lives are being disrespected by human beings themselves, so it is asked: what is the true value of life? It is concluded that the human race was not created by chance, its origin and its final destination is God. In this way, this research aims to contribute to na awakening to the true meaning of life, perceiving man as a being modeled on what is fragile, clay, which gives him fragility; however endowed with a breath of life that makes him different and special, whose ability to love and build a relationship with God and with his brothers and sisters is a peculiar characteristic
