Maria als Helferin neu entdecken
Im Marienmonat Mai rückt Maria wieder verstärkt ins Zentrum der Verehrung. Für viele Gläubige symbolisiert der Mai nicht nur den Frühling und die erblühende Natur, sondern auch die Schönheit und Gnade der Gottesmutter. Doch warum gerade der Mai? Und welche Bedeutung hat Maria für Gläubige heute?
Die Schönste von allen: Maria
Anders als die eitle Königin im Märchen von Schneewittchen strebt Maria nicht nach persönlicher Anerkennung oder Ruhm. Sie wird als "die Schönste von allen" verehrt - nicht wegen äußerlicher Erscheinung, sondern wegen ihrer göttlichen Gnade. In einem alten Marienlied heißt es: "Die Schönste von allen von fürstlichem Stand / kann Schönres nicht malen ein englische Hand". Maria, die Himmelskönigin, wird als Sinnbild der wahren Schönheit angesehen.
Ein Zeichen des neuen Lebens
Im Mai werden vielerorts Maialtäre aufgebaut und Marienstatuen mit Blumen geschmückt. Diese Symbole stehen nicht nur für die erblühende Natur, sondern weisen auch auf das neue Leben hin, das Maria in die Welt gebracht hat. Als Mutter Jesu Christi symbolisiert Maria das unvergängliche Leben und die Hoffnung für...

Das Wort Krise ist heute in aller Munde. Militärische Konflikte, Pandemie, Klimawandel und vieles mehr verstärken die Zukunftsängste und stellen den sozialen Zusammenhalt auf die Probe. Auch die Kirche ist davon betroffen.
Militärbischof Werner Freistetter und Sozialethiker Leopold Neuhold haben sich in ausführlichen persönlichen Gesprächen über die globalen Krisen unserer Zeit ausgetauscht, um die Entwicklungen gemeinsam etwas klarer zu sehen.
Die Autoren liefern keine einfachen Lösungen, sondern decken aus ethischer und theologischer Perspektive tiefer liegende Zusammenhänge auf und geben Anstoß zum Weiterdenken. Sie ermutigen zu jener Hoffnung auf Frieden, die ein Geschenk Gottes ist und dem Glauben entspringt.

WeiterlesenLet’s celebrate! Today is an important day for the Joomla! Project. We’re celebrating six months of hard work by our volunteers, who had the vision to produce a new minor version. Today, we are proud to announce the release of our new minor version, Joomla 5.1, alongside Joomla 4.4.4,
The Joomla Project is pleased to announce the availability of Joomla 5.1 Release Candidate 2 for testing.
There are two main goals for Release Candidates:
For a complete list of known backward compatibility issues for version 5.1, please see Potential backward compatibility issues in Joomla 5.1 on the documentation site.
This release candidate version of Joomla 5.1 is not suitable for production sites. It is for testing only.
Where to get it?
To always use the latest build of Joomla 5, we invite you to use the nightly build packages (updated every night).
To make it easier for newcomers, you can launch a free Joomla 5 website for testing at launch.joomla.org.
Joomla! 5.1 (general availability) will be released on or about 16th April 2024. The planned milestones are:
Alpha
Beta (Feature Freeze)
Release Candidate (Language Freeze)
Stable Release
Please note that dates may be subject to change depending on the availability of volunteers and circumstances beyond our control.
We are firmly committed to making the next generation of Joomla the best. These are the features that have been committed to version 5.1.
As it's a release candidate, we now have a language freeze. From now on, no pull Requests touching the language files will be merged unless absolutely necessary (e.g., by fixing a critical bug). We’re two weeks away from a stable release, so the task is now: test, test, test.
We will not include any other new features in the 5.1 branch from now on. But you’re welcome to propose enhancements and fixes for existing features.
To learn more about our development strategy, please read this article.
To help ensure the 5.1 release and our major features are “production-ready”, we need your help testing releases and reporting any bugs you may find at issues.joomla.org.
We encourage extension developers to roll up their sleeves, seek out bugs and test their extensions with Joomla 5.1 and communicate their experience.
There are some tutorials to help you with Joomla 5. You can find the existing ones, like creating a Plugin or a Module for Joomla 5, namespaces conventions, prepared statements, using the new web asset classes and many more in https://docs.joomla.org/Category:Joomla!_5.x
We encourage developers to help write the documentation about Joomla 5 on docs.joomla.org and manual.joomla.org to help and guide users and other extension developers.
A JDocs page will help developers to see the existing documentation and the documentation still needed.
We invite you to check it regularly, update it and provide the missing content.
If you are an extension developer, please make sure you subscribe to the extension developer channel https://joomlacommunity.cloud.mattermost.com/main/channels/extension-development-room
Where you can join the community of extension developers.
A big thank you goes out to everyone who contributed to the release!
