02 THEOLOGICAL CONGRESS PROGRAM
The Wisdom of the Cross in a pluralistic World
The topic of the Wisdom
of the Cross will be examined by
numerous scholars from many
cultural and academic fields
according to four trajectories: the
challenges of various cultures; the
development of humanism and
interreligious dialogue; the new
scenarios of evangelization; and
the charism of Saint Paul of the
Cross for the present and future
of the world.
The Congress will be divided into
plenary sessions and language
sections.
The Congress, sponsored by the
Gloria Crucis Chair of the Pontifical
Lateran University, is one of the
initiatives of the Congregation of the
Passion of Jesus Christ (Passionists)
to celebrate the Third Centenary of
its foundation.

CP, Catholic Theological Union
of Chicago.«Mission is at once a passion for Jesus and a passion for
his people. When we stand before Jesus crucified, we see
the depth of his love which exalts and sustains us, but at
the same time, unless we are blind, we begin to realize that
Jesus’ gaze, burning with love, expands to embrace all his
people. We realize once more that he wants to make use of
us to draw closer to his beloved people. He takes us from
the midst of his people, and he sends us to his people;
without this sense of belonging we cannot understand our
deepest identity» (Ap. Exhort. Evangelii gaudium, 268).You can also read
