Theology notes continues

Looking at connection between Jesus Resurrection - rest of the world. Jesus Historical resurrection - Overcoming evil God’s ability of victor over evil. Do you want to believe in God that allows to have his son die or resurrect? Abraham is stopped slaying his son that is the evil of all sacrifices. Redemption is the reversing of violence- wanting to be like God - compete with God Sin and Redemption - Jesus resurrection is hope of overcoming evil but it is also our resurrection. Definition of Prolepsis - anticipation. Anticipates the resurrection of everyone. Doubting Thomas - doubted Christ’s resurrection. Show me. Angels don’t have biological sensitivity. No distinction between knowing and doing - if they rebel, that is it. There is a revelation - New heaven and new earth - seems to suggest into the heavenly realm once and for all. Ratzinger is very concerned about the intermediate state. Jesus was separated from earthly body. Most Christians are naive. We think the soul dies. The body is snake skin. Skin immortal? There is a misinterpretation of body/soul separation. If it is not possible to separate how can they live on? If resurrecting right away, how are you going to preserve this? Razinger says this is intermediate state. Soul is in heaven while waiting for the resurrection of everyone. Dermont Lane said that resurrection of soul is imminent, second resurrection with coming of Christ. Vatican 1 had specific definition for dogma (inner knowledge of God which cannot be reasoned) therefore learned through revelation. Intermediate state is trying to understand the two. If don’t have free will in purgatory will need prayers. Apparitions of Mary - People in purgatory don’t have free will at all. soul - YUXN/y everything but the physical body. Interpreting the foundations of faith as context change. Life after death - different concepts of different religion. Soul is real; whole person is an organism (ideal), incongruence, biological {} psychological. Model is biological. Evolution has opened us to transcendence - genuine, unconditional warmth; empathy. Next (when we talk about theology) we are going to touch on spiritual direction

Good luck today America

Today is a big day and I want to wish my American neighbours good luck. I hope it is a good choice that will enhance the country. Every time I took a glimpse of what was going on, I only heard bashing. Unfortunately, we are experiencing much of the same. Wishing my neighbours the best! I have a glass of wine ready. I posted on X, which I can't seem to post here, a special comedy editon I watched most of last night (will watch the rest when I have more time). It's called this hour has 22 minutes. It's fun to watch so please don't take offence. If you don't have a sense of humour, you may want to skip it.

Canadian Health Care Workers - I cut and pasted this from EHN. You should be able to find their video if interested.

Morning, I thought this may be of interest to you. I didn't watch the video because there is nothing new here for me. However, feel free to look them up if you are interested. ​ Silva Redigonda ​ View in browser EHN Canada Logo - Horizontal - CMYK - Black-1 October 2024 Header Title HC_mental health IN THE NEWS Canadian healthcare workers’ mental health is in decline More and more studies are showing that the mental health of Canadian healthcare workers is reaching a critical point. In 2021, more than one in five health care workers logged overtime. Nearly half of family doctors report working beyond capacity according to the College of Family Physicians of Canada. The Ontario Medical Association says, “Physicians retiring prematurely, reducing their workloads, changing their scope of practice or leaving medicine entirely in response to burnout will exacerbate the situation for remaining physicians, resulting in a potential domino effect.” Paramedics, family physicians and respiratory therapists were the most likely to report working overtime at 45%, 34%, and 31% respectively. And Dr. Leigh Chapman, Canada's Chief Nursing Officer, said, “Nurses are the backbone of our health care system, yet too many in Canada are struggling with their mental health, experiencing burnout, distress and feeling overworked, and unappreciated, causing them to leave their jobs." Understanding the impact their work is having on them is the beginning of offering the support healthcare workers need. Healthcare_Therapist talking to client_HS WARNING SIGNS Caring for others while harming themselves. When we talk to healthcare professionals across Canada, one thing we hear from them again and again is their inherent drive to help people. The other thing we hear is how much their work impacts their own mental and physical well-being. Being on the frontlines of healthcare means witnessing the results of accidents and disease, and also being with patients in their final moments. While they are trained to deal with such challenging situations, healthcare professionals are still human beings who often cannot shake what they’ve experienced. It’s a phenomenon known as “vicarious trauma,” and it’s impacting between 40 and 85% of healthcare workers today. In addition, "compassion fatigue” is testing the limits of healthcare workers’ dedication to their work. This erosion of empathy often leaves workers feeling like they have nothing left to give. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE WARNING SIGNS OF VICARIOUS TRAUMA AND COMPASSION FATIGUE? Look for colleagues who are: Feeling drained, overwhelmed, or numb Showing difficulty empathizing or connecting with others Overly alert, anxious, or easily startled Increasingly frustrated or angry Experiencing nightmares or having trouble sleeping Suffering from frequent headaches, stomach issues, or other stress-related physical ailments Feeling unappreciated or questioning the purpose of their work Withdrawing from social interactions, friends, and family Unable to focus or make decisions To learn more about vicarious trauma, watch our webinar with Clinical and Forensic Psychologist Dr. Krystle Martin.
