«Autosvuotamento» di Cristo e «compassione» di Dio in Filippesi 2,5-11
Abstract
Starting from certain euchological texts of the current Roman Missal and from a popular theological publication on the «suffering of God», the present exegetical study of Philippians 2:5-11 focuses on Christ’s obedient «selfemptying », but also on the «com-passion» of God the Father. Hence it shows how the unsurpassable revelation of Christ attested in the NT transmits to the Church, necessarily in human and anthropomorphic language, the consoling Good News of a Deus patiens, who loves and by that fact suffers with his suffering children. Since, however, he acts as God and not as man, he does everything possible to finally liberate them from any evil.
