A true joy of the hearth

Five centuries before the coming of Jesus, the king of Babylon (today Baghdad) invaded Israel and deported all its inhabitants to Mesopotamia. Then the prophet Isaiah’s voice raised high; he turned to people and encouraged them: “… After waiting for a long time, the salvation came at last. For us as well, from 20 centuries onwards, Christmas comes every year, as synonymous, often unaware, of joy, peace and family time.
These feelings are showed through lightings, decorations, Christmas tree, presepe, gifts and evenings spent in the family. For the believers, the Christmas joy is the same joy announced by the Angels to the shepherds in the holy night“.

For all of us resounds the same Christmas wish for peace, granted, by the Salvator, only to all men of goodwill.

It’s Christmas!

Our society is becoming more and more multiethnic; the different religions are mixing up: Muslims – Animists – Orthodox Christians - Catholics.

We differ in culture, traditions, religion, but we are all people who respect each other, enriching in diversity.

It’s Christmas!

Even if we don’t know each other, even if we are often diffident, let’s try to say to everyone we meet (friends, enemies, indifferent people, unknown people, ideologically - different people):

Merry Christmas!

And if we will manage to utter it smiling, we will enjoy the true joy of the hearth.

Imitaçao.... 2.3
 
DO HOMEM BOM E PACÍFICO

 
Primeiro que tudo conserva-te em paz e depois procurarás pacificar os outros.
0 homem pacífico vale mais que o letrado. 0 homem apaixonado converte o próprio bem em mal e, facilmente, acredita no mal. O bom e o pacífico transforma tudo em bem.

THE LADY OF ALL NATIONS

THE  LADY OF ALL NATIONS
On March 25, 1945 Our Lady appeared in Amsterdam to Ida Peerdeman (†1996).
This was the first of 56 apparitions, which took place between 1945 and 1959.
On May 31, 2002, the local bishop came to the conclusion that the apparitions of Amsterdam are of supernatural origin. Our Lady appears under a new title,
 “The Lady of All Nations” or “The Mother of All Nations”.
In this time she wants to be made known and loved by everyone under this title.
In a prophetic way, she gives, above all, an impressive insight about the situation in the Church and in the world. In the messages, Mary gradually reveals a plan with which God wants to save the world and prepare it for a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Accordingly, she gives all peoples and nations an image and a prayer:

Evangelio del domingo, 3 de julio de 2016
Evangelio: Lucas 10, 1-12. 17-20


“En aquel tiempo, designó el Señor otros setenta y dos y los mandó por delante, de dos en dos, a todos los pueblos y lugares adonde pensaba ir él. Y les decía: La mies es abundante y los obreros pocos: rogad, pues, al dueño de la mies que mande obreros a su mies. ¡Poneos en camino!”

Lo más importante es llevar al Señor en nosotros y que así el Señor llegue a los demás. De allí que debemos llenarnos de Él.

Se qualcuno ti percuote...

SE QUALCUNO TI PERCUOTE LA GUANCIA DESTRA
TU PORGIGLI ANCHE L’ALTRA ( Mt. 5,39 )

Una delle affermazioni del Vangelo che è stata più conosciuta, usata e fraintesa dalla nostra gente. Veniva usata anche come soluzione di barzellette, come dire, dai, che poi ci penso io…


Chi si è accorto, nei secoli passati che dentro vi si nascondeva una delle componenti più originali del messaggio evangelico:la NON VIOLENZA ? Doveva essere un induista come il Mahatma Gandhi e il pastore protestante Martin Luther King a riproporla nella sua giusta luce….

Gesù mio, con dure funi

Gesù mio, con dure funi
come reo, chi ti legò?
Sono stati i miei peccati
Gesù mio, perdon, pietà.

Gesù mio, la bella faccia
chi crudele ti schiaffeggiò?
