Aquinas’s exposition of the twofold commandment of charity embeds a pedagogy for learning the imitation of Christ. This pedagogy may be gathered from his commentaries on the Gospels of Matthew and John, with refinements from the Summa theologiae. Christ commands love of God and neighbour and calls us to friendship that requires imitation of him. Aquinas depicts this imitation of Christ as a gratuitous, effective, and right love of neighbour which, I suggest, is grounded in, and develops his articulation of, love of neighbour as an expansion of love of self that is holy, just, and true. In this way, we learn to imitate Christ by following his commandment of charity, and we learn to follow the commandment of charity by imitating Christ. This interpenetrating pedagogy exemplifies and belongs essentially to Aquinas’s broader goal of promoting conformity to Christ through his practice of sacra doctrina or holy teaching.

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’s letter Iuvenescit Ecclesia represents a considerable, and largely unnoticed, development in the Catholic doctrine of the charisms. Despite being widely overlooked, this document contains a sophisticated, and quasi-systematic, theological presentation of the charismatic gifts. The present essay compares the teaching on the charisms in Iuvenescit Ecclesia with the earlier teaching in Lumen Gentium in three areas: (1) the wider theological grounding of the charisms; (2) the meaning of the term charism; (3) the value assigned to the charisms. Through this, the postconciliar developments in the area of the charisms are brought sharply into focus, demonstrating the significance of Iuvenescit Ecclesia for the future of Catholic ecclesiology.

In this article I bring an analysis of the boy possessed ‘from childhood’ in Mark 9:14–29 to bear on the contemporary situation of victims abused as children. I suggest that at least some of the discomfort we may feel in comparing an abused child to a possessed child in the Gospels stems from a residual feeling that demoniacs are guilty. But the Gospel witness is that possessed people are innocent and unwillingly ‘colonized.’ I then note the literary echoes between Mark 9:14–29 and Mark 14:32–42 which highlight Jesus’ identification with victims in Gethsemane. I conclude by suggesting that the possessed boy of Mark 9 is representative of innocent childhood victims in his unwilling bondage, and that Jesus’ salvific solidarity with him in Gethsemane offers to all victims of childhood abuse a healing space from which to identify with Christ on his healing journey toward resurrection.

The article agrees that meaning-for-meaning rather than word-for-word sums up the primary scope of translation from biblical texts. Yet Greek and Hebrew words may enjoy the same or at least very similar meanings in different contexts; and the scriptural authors may intend intertextual links between their use of these words. In such cases differing translations can not only be unnecessary but may also lead readers to miss links intended by the authors. This case is established by examining the use of phaneroō (‘reveal,’ John) and diakoneō (‘serve,’ Mark).
