  Article:   FULFILLING MAN’S MISSION AS A MEDIATOR FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD IN SAINT MAXIMUS’S THEOLOGY.

Authors:  CRISTIAN SONEA. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  Saint Maximus talks about the role of the work of mediation in creation as a condition for achieving deification of man and of the entire creation in and through man. Out of this work of mediation we can derive some important ideas concerning man’s mission in the present context: man’s relation with the others and with the entire creation is based on the pattern of the hypostatic union specific to Calcedonian Christology; fulfilling this mission reveals man’s true dignity; the relationship between man and woman should develop in such a way that they can become one; the relationships between the members of the Christian family should be consummated from the eternity perspective, a fact which requires the presence of the conjugal chastity; the Christian’s true life is the spiritual one; man’s relation with the universe represents the basis for an ecotheology.

Key words: christian’s mission, christian family, Christology, spiritual life, unity of humanity, ecomission
