Sažetak
The theological oeuvre of Romano Guardini is a strong testimony to the efforts to free the Catholic theology from the centuries-old feeling of distrust of the world and to open it to a true evangelical commitment in the world. In this reflection we briefly bring to light the author’s understanding of Christian responsibility in the world and for the world. The paper is divided in two parts. The first part analyses Guardini’s view on the modern era (new age). Aware of the ambiguity of modern awareness, he tries to integrate the positive dimension of modernity into Christian views and to reconcile the modern anthropocentrism with Christian belief in creation. In the second part we demonstrate the way in which Christian existence is realized in the culture of its time: a Christian should take responsibility for God’s creation, transform the actual world in which he lives into the Kingdom of God and connect his work in the world with faith in providence and prayer for the world.
