Na temelju poslanica sv. Jeronima rad nastoji ukazati na važnost i značenje prijateljâ i prijateljstva u njegovu životu te iščitati njegovu teoriju prijateljstva, odnosno ideal prijateljstva koji je ponudio svojim čitateljima. Prvo poglavlje ističe važnost prijatelja i prijateljstvâ za Naučitelja iz Stridona, čemu s više gledišta imaju pridonijeti i ostali dijelovi rada. Drugo poglavlje ocrtava njegovo shvaćanje iskona i naravi prijateljstva te sponâ koje povezuju prijatelje. Treće poglavlje ukazuje na važnost komunikacije koja, prema sv. Jeronimu, hrani, učvršćuje, održava i posvjedočuje prijateljstvo. Četvrto poglavlje, napose s gledišta korespondencije sv. Jeronima sa sv. Augustinom, bavi se pitanjem na koji se način prijatelji trebaju ophoditi i kojih se normi držati dođe li među njima do nesporazuma, nesuglasica, spora, pa i polemike. Rad ukazuje na dragocjenost prijateljstva u Jeronimovu životu. Iskon, odnosno vrelo ljubavi koja povezuje prijatelje, Stridonjanin vidi u Kristu, odnosno u Bogu, koji istom prijateljstvo i učvršćuje. Ističe nezamjenjivu važnost komunikacije, koja prema Jeronimu održava i hrani prijateljstvo, te nužnost otvorenosti i iskrenosti u prijateljskim odnosima. Jednako vrijedi i u slučaju nesuglasica ili sporova, koje prema sv. Jeronimu valja rješavati u istom duhu, u prvi plan stavljajući prijateljsku ljubav hranjenu vjerom te želju za mirom., On the basis of the epistles of St. Jerome, the article is attempting to draw attention to the importance and meaning of friends and friendship in his life and to discern his theory of friendship, i.e., the idea of friendship that he offered to his readers. The first part points out the importance of friends and friendships for the teacher from Stridon, to which other parts also contribute from various perspectives. The second part draws his understanding of the origin and nature of friendship, as well as the ties that bind friends. The third part points out the importance of communication that, according to St. Jerome, feeds, strengthens, maintains, and testifies to friendship. The fourth part is based primarily on the correspondence between St. Jerome and St. Augustine and it deals with the question of how friends should behave and which norms should they follow when there is a disagreement, argument, fights, or polemics between them. The article draws attention to the preciousness of friendship in Jerome’s life. Jerome sees the origin, i.e., the source of love that binds friends, in Christ or in God who also strengthens the friendship. The author points out the irreplaceable importance of communication that, according to Jerome, maintains and feeds friendship, as well as the necessity of openness and honesty in friendship. This holds also in cases of disagreement and arguments that, according to St. Jerome, ought to be solved in the same spirit by putting in the first place the love between friends that is fed by faith and desire for peace.

Rad se bavi višeslojnom problematikom fatimskog zahtjeva za posvećenje Rusije i svijeta unutar šireg konteksta teoloških promišljanja jednog od najvećih mariologa XX. stoljeća i koncilskog perita Renéa Laurentina (1917. – 2017.). Prvi, uvodni dio rada kontekstualizira temu, ocrtavajući Laurentinov pristup bavljenju problematikom ukazanja, pa tako i onog fatimskog, te sumirajući njegov doprinos na tom području. Drugi dio rada na temelju Laurentinovih uvida i prosudbi upućuje u delikatnost problematike fatimskog zahtjeva u vidu poteškoća koje je on za pape predstavljao u diplomatskom pogledu, što se tiče odnosa papinske službe prema privatnim objavama te gledom na sud o valjanosti učinjenih posvećenja. Treći dio rada donosi Laurentinova razmatranja problematike fatimskog zahtjeva za posvećenje Rusije i svijeta s teološkog stajališta. Zaključni dio rada daje oris Laurentinovih konkretnih, praktičnih prijedloga proizašlih iz njegova teološkog promišljanja fatimskog zahtjeva za posvećenje, koji nastoje oko boljeg razumijevanja same naravi posvećenja i njegove »duhovne kvalitete«, s konačnim ciljem djelotvornosti posvećenja o kojemu – budući da je posvećenje naša svetost, pobožanstvenjenje – prema Laurentinu ovisi sama budućnost osoba i zajednica., The article deals with a multi‑layered issue of the Fatima plea for the consecration of Russia and the world within the wider context of theological reflections of one of the greatest Mariologists of the 20th century and a conciliar peritus René Laurentin (1917 – 2017). The first, introductory part of the article contextualises the topic by sketching Laurentin´s approach to the issue of apparitions, including the one that happened in Fatima, and by summing his contribution in this area. The second part, based on Laurentin´s insights and judgements, introduces the reader into the delicacy of the issue of the Fatima plea in terms of difficulties that it created for the Pope in them diplomatic sense. These involve the relation of the Papal Office to private revelations and the judgement on validity of performed consecrations. The third part discusses Laurentin´s reflections on the issue of the Fatima plea for the consecration of Russia and the world from the theological point of view. The final part sketches Laurentin´s concrete, practical proposals that are based on his theological reflection on the Fatima plea for the consecration. These are directed to a better understanding of the very nature of consecration and its »spiritual quality« with the final aim of efficacy of the consecration on which – since consecration is our sanctification, divinisation – according to Laurentin, our future as persons and the community depends.
