Blood On Day 9 Of My Cycle

VERA Priestly Vocations - THE FRIENDS OF GOD PLEASE

As I posted earlier, led me to reflect. Few vocations, and me being a little dubious about it, I wonder how many are actually heard. Being a priest involves many sacrifices - sacrifices to the things of the world - but it's also an opportunity to be able to do a culture to ensure a secure future, against all the uncertainties in today's world of work, you find. This can occur both between diocesan priests and among the religious. You may say, but there are teachers who know how to do their discernment! Oh, but the devil may well be confused, it's his job. You look around, and you can see the deserted churches. True to rampant de-Christianization, caused by some secular ideology, but a part of "blame" could also be charged by the clergy, which is not always so attentive to others as demonstrated by Don Lolo, who has escaped death in order to help a tough guy. Not all are dedicated to martyrdom. Many priests live turned in upon themselves, looking for applause, they are often depressed, because they find them difficult to work in a world that does not respect them. I think that self-esteem is necessary but should not be confused with pride, arrogance, self-love. Often the priests do not have time, swallowed up by so many commitments "bureaucratic" meetings at times unnecessarily and fail to heal relations with individuals. The Church has become a provider of sacraments: Baptisms, Confirmations, Communions, weddings and funerals. And people used to it as if it was a 'body that provides services. But beyond that, there are true friends of God? I know of many who are, and rejoice, but others leave me cold and indifferent. I do not perceive the fire of love in them. This was confirmed to me by many people, and if people are full of faith and love, understand and remain steadfast in their resolve to be a member of the Church, but others, who are the first steps of a journey that leads to Jesus, or whose faith is lukewarm, if not even completely disappeared, find justification for their removal, the lack of a constructive dialogue with a priest. Or are disappointed by his speech, that look sickly and devoid of genuine sharing. Sometimes, even offended by certain language or behavior, not exactly orthodox, but that's another story.
I would assume that priests should be Apostles of Christ, the first speaker to be excited about the Good News, the first to forget themselves for giving to others, or the priesthood is not of his actual mandate. Who finds a soul so in love with Christ, in turn is attracted, infected, and the faith spreads like wildfire. But if these souls are devoid of passion for Christ, witness anything, in fact, leave. The people of God requires that you have pastors who are capable of love and full of faith, because they do not approve of the pulpit are not words that are then implemented by the same preacher. (Think, preach, but Razzoli bad). And do not think I am speaking to the sins in which every man may fall, including a priest or religious), I speak your faith! Christ came to Earth to sinners, without exception, but by us requires faith in the Trinity. All the more so by his beloved apostles, priests in Christ.
be clear, I do not accuse anyone, I am careful. I just explained that, not only in my opinion, is a reality, and I ask those who have a duty to discern, to waive to a future priest, if they are not certain of his faith in Jesus Christ. I ask us all to pray for priests so that they are true witnesses, Christians believe that they do not lose faith during their mandate, and if they happen to falter or fall, are able to immediately get up.
We all have need holy priests - and the Church's history we have and we have had many -
help us to walk toward the Lord, with good words, but also a great example. In these times it is more necessary than ever. My analysis is real and should not offend, but arouse in us an intense prayer to help the priests who find themselves having to fight their battle against a world that rejects them, which mocks the Church, where often the same and its priests are the subject of deep hatred.
We love instead the Church with its clergy, religious men and women who have chosen to follow Christ throughout their lives: let us pray intensely for a Christianity renewed, reinvigorated, so that the light illuminates our days!

Don Lolo, a friend of God

homily of Mgr. Mario Delpino, auxiliary bishop of Milan, in memory of a priest killed tragically in Busto Arsizio twenty years ago. A text - through him - talk straight to each of we
They live among us friends of God live as everyone's hard work and joy, days of frenzy and feast days, days of health and sick days, but the friends of God living like everyone else, living in an extraordinary way. Like everyone, meet the people, meet nice people and unbearable people, have friends and sometimes enemies, meet many people, like everyone else, but who meets the friends of God shall keep a special memory. They have their own character, like all, some are shy and others outgoing and talkative, some are impulsive and reactive, others are patient and discreet, yet all the friends of God are as marked by a discipline that makes them available also what is not spontaneous. They live among us, the friends of God, not noticed at first glance, do not make noise, but they are the ones that keep the world who take things wrong and try to straighten them: whether it's a crying baby , of a patient who is alone, the problems of global dimension.
Friends of God living among us, live like everyone else, are men and women who look like all the others. Yet they have something extraordinary.
Friends of God live on a particular freedom. They delivered their desire for God to be happy and therefore no longer worry too much about themselves. They know that God will not disappoint, ever. So
are free. They are free from fear: they are exposed to all risks that the mission, that does not naivete or arrogance, but out of obedience. They are free from the search for consensus, they are free from the judgments of others and listen to all know that everyone has to learn, but the standard of their work is not the popularity or the approval of the world. The freedom comes from an inner strength which lives in the fear of God I am free from narrow interests. Never wonder "what will I gain?", Because they live with gratitude. The gift they have received is so great, so free that it can not share it for free. They are even willing to lose, have no worries about their future.
They are also free from the obsession to verify the results. They engage with all our strength, are passionate about the business that affect them, but they know they are only laborers sent to sow. Are in charge of the harvest, the angels of God
Friends of God live in a mystery and I am moved . Were visited by a call, were called unspeakable intimacy. In solitude there is fun, because the presence of God is not a word, but a tremendous and loving communion. They love the silence and sometimes catches them in a prayer that you can not guess, in the middle of the night or at dawn. They do not speak often of themselves, have a reserve on their spiritual lives. But if you ask them questions, you can be surprised by words of fire or a squirt of fresh water for your thirst.
Friends of God are people who live with a purpose. Their goals are not by ambition, not fed by the desire for a career, from a presumption of leadership. They have a purpose, but rather obedience to the mission. In what they do put everything themselves, sparing neither strength nor intelligence, nor resources, with the sacrifice. They have no where else to escape, do not defend the brackets of their private, as the possibility of another life. They have another life because the mission they have received has become their whole life. We consider only the servants and live with their pride serve, because they know their Lord.
Friends of God together host a joy invincible and a poignant sadness. We do not know how to explain what they feel, yet carry around the city where soothsayers their smile with a joy that does not come from fortunate coincidences or absence of problems, but un'inesplorabile depth, like a spring that never stops ever the joy of food. But the joy of the friends of God is not naive to be joyful. Votes in a poignant sadness-the strength of compassion because there is no suffering that you leave them indifferent is the sigh of accomplishment because there is no day of life that does not invoke "Thy kingdom.
They live among us, the friends of God and go mostly unnoticed. The headlines and the chatter of clichés woven ignore them because they are dedicated to complaints and gossip, criticism and complaint, the rhetoric and gossip. So the friends of God, not an event.
And I'm here in our midst, even if they pass unnoticed.
happens, however, sometimes an extraordinary event that brought them the attention and then all realize it and are admired.
So was the story of Don Isidoro and the tragedy of his death. A friend of God died as a sacrificial lamb and the eyes of all turned out to be the glory of God who has shone the life of Don Isidoro since its early years. So he, so unobtrusive, so bashful and character has become news.
Why will this happen?
I believe that the friends of God to fulfill their mission in life and in death. So I think sometimes happens that the friends of God drawing attention of many because they all feel a given word, a call for an application.
you like to become friends with God? I tell you it's worth it!

the February 14, 1991, aged just forty-six, died Don Isidoro Meschi. Don Lolo - as everyone called him - meratese priest, was killed with a stab to the heart. Was killed by or one of his boys, a young man with serious psychological problems. Don Isidoro had followed him for years, helping also to build a professional perspective. They were just after 22. It was in the field behind the farmhouse that was renovated to be used as a recovery community. He had an appointment with the boy who was later assassinated. He had to talk to him, maybe offer some advice. The young man raises his voice, he gets angry, loses control and takes out a knife.
Don Isidoro instead remains with him to escape, trying to reason with him and reassure him. Instead, the boy stabbed him with a jab straight to the heart. For Don Isidoro there was nothing to do, nothing is served running the hospital. Maybe he knew he would die. Once, five years before his murder, during an illness, Sister Maria told him he had to heal because she would not have withstood the pain of his loss. He said: "Up to forty-five years does not die." She felt that she would go to the same age as his father. At the funeral of Milan, Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, described him as a saint, "Maybe one day he does not become a sign for the whole Church."

WOUND AFRICA - AFRICA THE DESPERATE

few days ago I posted a video of a song of Africa, Jammu Africa, but being part sung in the local language and partly in French, I think it enjoyed the full text of the song, to which I add the translation in Italian. Ismael Lo has recorded this song several years ago, but again very timely in these days when many countries of North Africa are in revolt. No wonder, even in Europe we have had our revolutions: the French, the Russians and even Italy was not less. We remember him in our 150 th anniversary of the unification of Italy. When people are subjected when they have no jobs and food, when realize how injustice and can not ask for a better future in peace, leaving the streets together, for social justice that have ever had. And they do so knowing that they will fall, they will die, but never dies the hope of a better world, a lasting peace that only he who respects his fellow man can get.

Why Do Indian Women Have Big Breast

VIRGINITY '

I draw your attention to a singular fact: that of Marianne Wex is the only existing book on human parthenogenesis. Why? The author stresses that the scientific world, while avoiding deepening the scope and meaning, has no difficulty in recognizing the prevalence of this mode of reproduction for plants and animals so-called "inferior" (which are about a thousand, from insects to fish, spiders lizards), but when it comes to dealing with the phenomenon of parthenogenesis "in vertebrates, in mammals and then in women, we meet a big taboo. (From what I know, only the Virgin Mary could conceive without human help ed)

Carry this preamble, which does not belong to me and has awakened in me a certain interest in the virginity of Mary, as those that rely only on scientific research, often gives me naive - to say the worst - when I argue that the Creator is action possible in the way they see fit. And now add, that if the Genesis is clear that the First Man was created to partner the First Lady, not for procreation, but precisely because it's companion, that was not only. In God's plans had not yet traced the design of procreation in the pain of having to earn their bread by the sweat of their brows, and above all, death. So Man was created perfect. The flaw came after the original sin, after the great disobedience to God because of pride. And if it is necessary to conceive a child involving two creatures, it means that one is not perfect, as it needs the other to complete procreation.

is then that Mary, the Perfect , the Immaculate Conception, is the second Eve, the one whom God chose as the Mother of his only begotten Son. To be the Mother of God, was bound to be perfect, so there was no need for her carnal union with man. Let's say that, by the divine, she is the only woman to have conceived a child by parthenogenesis (the Holy Spirit came into her so invisible, incorporeal being himself). In the same way Eve could give birth to their offspring, because neither hardship nor death lived in the Garden of Eden. But the Lord had to recreate an almost similar situation in Mary. Why would God allow the woman of his choice, was forced to give birth to the Son of the pain of childbirth, and designed with the carnal knowledge of man? His was far from the Creation, and His would stay until the end of time. God can do anything, and if we even for a moment doubt Virginity of Mary, we doubt the omnipotence of the Creator. In this case, there is no faith in us.

I write for those who only rely on science, which excludes a priori the Holy Scriptures, and I tell them that I find another woman who has had Grace ; to conceive without human intervention.

For those that do not allow the intervention of the Holy Spirit, believing that we have for millennia filled with nonsense, I can not help it, Faith is a gift, and if they do not possess, I can only pray that God enlighten them a spark. But what worries me are the doubts that arise among believers, Christians, Catholics, who theorize and while acknowledging that the Virgin may have been visited by the Holy Spirit, at the time of childbirth your virginity has failed, as a matter, shall we say, technical. The son had even come to light, and the way forward is the same as every man is born. So what? If Mary conceived without human intervention, why should not give birth and remain Virgin? God can do everything. But even if he lost what is commonly meant virginity, childbirth, or the breaking of the hymen, this does not mean that she is always Our Lady, as it has never been involved in a sexual relationship. It 'still a banal human response, God could certainly do better, and allow a painless childbirth, leaving both Mother!

His heart is a virgin because she stole from a young age to the Father, his body is a virgin, because it never granted to man, his spirit is a virgin, why tainted by sin. If we think of her Immaculate Conception, we also know what it means: she was born without original sin, and therefore without that part of the evil that is in us all, without the instincts of the body and disorderly movements in those who corrupt and corrode the soul ' man, dragging him in the passions. If Old Eva (first woman), how can we learn from the Scriptures, was created by God, was now a virgin in body and spirit, imbued with good and devoid of evil. This is what happened to New Eve, for God's will. I like to believe in this, as only a woman could be Perfect Man Perfect Mother, Father, only begotten Son of God, and God incarnate. But now I realize that my words have no deep theology, although full of faith, so I give the word to those who know more about me: read the following:

"CONCEIVED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT"


VIRGINITY 'IN MARIA "before birth"

1. ACCURATE AND COMPLETE THE CONCEPT OF VIRGINITY "before birth"

For clarity of ideas, it is necessary to distinguish clearly between the concepts that have the common people and biologists, and the concept that they have the theologians.
According to the vulgar, and also according to biologists, virginity is a purely physiological or organic, consisting of bodily integrity (which is usually compromised from the conjugal act).
According to the theologians, however, virginity is a moral virtue, and therefore formally resides in the soul, although he says report bodily integrity. Virginity theologically considered, therefore, is divided into three distinct and different elements of value: I) the bodily integrity (item incidental to the moral virtue as such); II) immunity from complete satisfaction venereal freely admitted (material element ); III) firm commitment to refrain forever from that carnal pleasure (formal element of the moral virtue of virginity).
The dogma of the virginity of Mary before the birth "refers directly to virginity in the act of conception of Christ, which is miraculous (3), but assumes, of course (because, otherwise, you could not even speak of virginity in the conception) virginity prior to such an act. It is therefore a unique maternity, which has no example.
The complete concept of the virginal conception of Christ by Mary, contains five elements (see O. DOMINGUEZ, OMJ, antes Virginidad of childbirth, in "East Mar 21 1960 p. 211 ff.) :
1) Maria SS. not conceived Christ through the work of man, 2) or by the germ of some men, and 3) but the Holy Spirit, 4) without a shadow of lust, 5) as a person who was dedicated to God
1. Maria SS. not conceived in the first place, through the work of man, what established formally and categorically - as we shall see - from the Gospels (Matthew and Luke). The male seed, in fact, could not, in a moment, give full training for the human body, speech and a human father was inherently orderly existence of a human person (as the person of Christ is divine).
2. Maria SS. not conceived in the second place, using the human germ (San Jose) introduced miraculously in the womb of Lei So have felt recently, CORBA (Vindicaciones josephinas, 109 and 123) and Petrone (The authorship of St. Joseph, "Divus Thomas" Plac ., 1928, p. 29-49), a staunch defender of the fatherhood of Saint Joseph virginal. The Holy Spirit - according to Corbo - with his speech, would unite the two germs spotless (to Mary and to Joseph) to produce Jesus del Corb But the book was listed in the Index, and Petrone's article was rejected by S. Office. St. Matthew and St. Luke - as we shall see - give the whole conception of Christ to the work of the Holy Spirit, and exclude thus, by implication, any cooperation of man, is close or remote. Moreover, the anguished embarrassment of St. Joseph before the pregnancy of Mary, in the event of such cooperation can not be explained. And the angel in unraveling the mystery, would surely have uncovered - if they still had not heard - the cooperation of him to the conception of Christ.
3. Mary conceived of the Holy Spirit. Both St. Matthew and St. Luke - as we shall see - a claim categorically that truth. The Holy Spirit makes up for the lack human agent. He was so fertile and verginizzante action.
4. Maria SS. conceived Christ without a shadow of lust.
Maria SS. Immaculate "in fact, precisely because Immaculate, had the preternatural gifts of integrity consistent with full submission less appetite (the senses) to the reason that he never had any movement disorder of the senses, albeit unintentionally. From the Virgin must exclude not only the consent of the pleasure caused by the disorderly movements from fomes of lust, but the same pleasure, the same disorderly movements, the same fomes of lust, and this throughout his life. It was then, in Mary, a conception free from any sense of sexuality (as opposed to ordinary conceptions). Thanks the divine intervention of the Holy Spirit, the virginal conception - as expressed S. Augustine - there is "no burning concupiscentia carnis, sed fidei fervent charity" (Sermon 214, 6, PL 38, 1069). The pleasures of the flesh are replaced and the ineffable delights of the caste spirit, because of the new ineffable union with God, beginning to be his son, holding a relationship with you entirely new, entirely unique.
Modern biology exclude, conception (ie, in the act of fertilization) any feeling or emotion, sensual, even though little or indeliberata.
5. Maria SS. conceived Christ as a person already consecrated virginity to God, as a moral virtue, has its roots in the will, ie, the determination to fully and permanently refrain from sensual pleasures "for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven" (Mt 19, 12). Taken in this sense, virginity involves a real dedication of body and soul to God, sealed or vote or, at least, with a firm resolution: "The Virgin and urges all the things of the Lord, that he might become a saint of body and spirit "(1 Cor., 7, 32). May Mary, the first incarnation of the Word, was consecrated to God, it is clear from the application you have objected to the proposal of the angel: "How will this, since I know not man? "(Luke 1, 34). He would not have uttered those words if he had not already been consecrated to God this is his dedication to God and the main part of the dogma of her virginity. In this way the Virgin before Word to open her breast, she had opened her virgin heart, so totalitarian and perennial.
This is the virginity of Mary in the various elements that compose it, in the fullness of its meaning. The first three elements about the virginity of the physiological body and the fourth concerns the virginity of sense, the fifth, that the virginity of the soul. They are the integral concept of virginity "Before giving birth."

MARY'S ABOUT TO BE' THE MAN ALI

general audience, the Pope spoke of St. John of the Cross

who gives wings to humans

L ' love of Christ is not a burden to humans, but "almost gives wings." He said the Pope speaks of St. John of the Cross's general audience Wednesday, Feb. 16, in the Paul VI.
Dear brothers and sisters
two weeks ago I presented the figure of the great English mystic Teresa of Jesus Today I would like talk about another important Saint of those lands, spiritual friend of St. Teresa, reformer, along with her family's religious Carmelite St. John of the Cross was proclaimed Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius XI in 1926 and nicknamed the tradition Doctor mysticus "Mystical Doctor".
John of the Cross was born in 1542 in the small village of Fontiveros, near Avila, in Old Castile, Gonzalo de Yepes and Catalina Alvarez. The family was poor, because his father, of noble origin Toledo, had been out of the house and disinherited for marrying Catalina, a humble silk weaver. Lost his father at an early age, John, nine years, he went, with his mother and his brother Francisco, Medina del Campo, near Valladolid, commercial and cultural center. Here he attended the Colegio de los Doctrinos, also performing some menial work for the nuns of the convent church of Mary Magdalene. Then, because of its human qualities and his results in his studies, he was admitted as a nurse in the Hospital of the Conception of the first, then at the Jesuit College, recently founded in Medina del Campo: John came here eighteen years and studied for three years the humanities, rhetoric and classical languages. At the end of training, he was clear about his own vocation and religious life, among the many orders present in Medina, he felt called to Caramel.
summer in 1563 he began his novitiate at the Carmelites of the city, taking the religious name of Matthias. The following year was assigned to the prestigious University of Salamanca, where he studied for three years, arts and philosophy. In 1567 he was ordained priest and returned to Medina del Campo to celebrate his first Mass surrounded by the affection of family members. Right here was the first meeting between John and Teresa of Jesus The meeting was decisive for both: Teresa explained his plan to reform the Carmelite Order and even suggested that the male line to John to accede "to the greater glory of God "The young priest was fascinated by the ideas of Teresa, and has become a big supporter of the project. The two worked together few months, sharing ideas and proposals as soon as possible to inaugurate the first house of the Discalced Carmelites: The opening took place December 28, 1568 at Duruelo, lonely place in the province of Avila. By John formed the first community reformed three other male companions. In renewing their religious profession according to the first Rule, the four adopted a new name: John was called then "the Cross", as will then be universally known. At the end of 1572, at the request of Teresa, became confessor and vicar of the monastery of the Incarnation in Avila, where Santa was prioress. They were years of close collaboration and spiritual friendship that enriched both. At that period are Teresian the most important works and the first writings of John.
Membership of the Carmelite reform was not easy and it cost too much suffering to John. The most traumatic episode was, in 1577, his abduction and his incarceration in the convent of the Carmelites of the Ancient Observance of Toledo, following an unjust accusation. The saint was imprisoned for months, subjected to physical and mental hardships and difficulties. Here he composed, along with other poems, the famous Spiritual Canticle. Finally, on the night between 16 and 17 August 1578, he escaped so adventurous, sheltering in the monastery of Carmelite nuns in the city. Santa Teresa and fellow reformed celebrated with immense joy for his release and, after a short recovery time of the forces, John moved in Andalusia, where he spent ten years in various monasteries, especially in Granada. He took on increasingly important positions in the Order, to become the Vicar Provincial, and completed the drafting of its spiritual treatises. He then returned to his homeland, as a member of the General Government of Teresa's religious family, which now enjoyed full legal autonomy. He lived in Caramel, Segovia, performing the office of superior of the community. In 1591 he was relieved of all responsibility and for the new religious Province of Mexico. While preparing for the long trip with ten other companions, retired to a convent solitary near Jaén, where he fell seriously ill. John faced with exemplary patience, serenity and enormous suffering. He died on the night between 13 and 14 December 1591, while the brothers recite the Office in the morning. Took leave of them saying: "Today I am going to sing the Office in the sky." His mortal remains were transferred to Segovia. She was beatified by Clement X in 1675 and canonized by Benedict XIII in 1726.
John is considered one of the major lyric poets of English literature. The major works are four: Ascent to Mount Caramel, Dark Night, Spiritual Canticle and flame of love alive.
The Spiritual Canticle, St. John presents the process of purification of the soul, namely, the progressive joyous possession of God, until the soul comes to feel that love God with the same love with which she is loved by Him alive the flame of love continues in this perspective, describing in detail the state of transforming union The comparison to God used by John is always that of the fire as much as the fire burns through the timber, the more you do to become red-hot flame, so the Holy Spirit, during the dark night that cleanses and "clean" the soul, over time the lights and warms like a flame. The life of the soul is a continual feast of the Holy Spirit that reveals the glory of union with God in eternity.
Rise Mount Caramel has the spiritual journey from the point of view of the progressive purification of the soul, to scale the summit of Christian perfection, symbolized by the summit of Mount Caramel. This purification is proposed as a way that man is doing, working with the divine action, to free the soul from all attachment or affection contrary to the will of God purification, in order to reach the union of love with God to be total, starting with the meaning of life and continues with that obtained by means of the three theological virtues: faith, hope and charity, purifying the intention, memory and desire. The Dark Night describes the appearance of "passive", ie the intervention of God in this process of "purification" of the soul. Human effort, in fact, is unable by itself to reach the deep roots of evil inclinations and habits of the people: it can only slow down, but not eradicate them completely. To do this, you need the special action of God who purifies the spirit and has radically union of love with him St. John calls "passive" such purification, because, although accepted by the soul, is made from ' mysterious action of the Holy Spirit, as a flame of fire, consumes all impurities. In this state, the soul is subjected to every kind of evidence, as if he were in a dark night. These
information on major works of the saint help us move closer to the highlights of his vast and profound mystical doctrine, whose purpose is to describe a sure way to achieve holiness, the state of perfection to which God calls us all. According to John of the Cross, all that is created by God is good. Through the creatures, we can arrive at the discovery of him in them has left a trace behind. Faith, however, is the only source given to man to know God as He is in Himself as the Triune God. All that God wanted to communicate to man, he has said in Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh. Jesus Christ is the one definitive way to the Father (Cf. Jn 14, 6). Anything that is created is nothing compared to God and nothing is beyond him: therefore, to achieve perfect love of God, love each other in Christ should conform to the divine love. Hence the insistence of St. John of the Cross on the need of the cleansing and emptying of the interior to become God, which is the only goal of perfection. This "purification" is not the mere absence of physical things or their use, what makes the soul pure and free, however, is to eliminate any dependence on disordered things. Everything must be placed in God as the center and end of life. The long and arduous process of purification requires some personal effort, but the real star is God all that man can do is "disporsi" be open to the divine action and do not ask obstacles. Living the theological virtues, the man rises and gives value to their commitment. The pace of growth in faith, hope and charity go hand in hand with the work of purification and the progressive union with God to turn him in when we reach this goal, the soul is immersed in the same life Trinity, so that St. John says that it comes to love God with the same love with which He loves, because he loves the Holy Spirit. That's why the Doctor Monk argues that there is no true union of love culminates in union with God except the Trinity. In this state supreme soul Holy God knows everything and no longer has to go through to get the creatures to Him the soul feels now flooded by divine love and rejoices fully in it.
Dear brothers and sisters, in the end the question remains: this holy mystical with its high, with this arduous journey to the summit of perfection has to say something to us, the Christian living in normal circumstances of this life today or is an example, a model for only a few chosen souls who can actually take this path of purification, mystical ascent? To find the answer we must first keep in mind that the life of Saint John of the Cross was not a "fly in the clouds mystical", but was a very hard life, very practical and concrete, is to reform, where he encountered much opposition from both the provincial superior, both of his brothers in prison, where he was exposed to incredible abuse and physical abuse. It was a hard life, but just in the past months in prison he wrote one of his finest works. And so we can understand that the journey with Christ, walking with Christ, "the Way," is not a burden added to the already hard enough burden of our lives, not something that would make it even heavier this burden, but it's completely different, is a light, a force that helps us to carry this burden. If a man carries with it a great love, love this almost gives wings, and more easily bear all the hardships of life, it carries within it this great light, this is the faith: to be loved by God and be loved by God in Christ Jesus be loved This is the light that helps us to bear the burden of every day. And holiness is not our work very difficult, but it is precisely this "open": open the windows of our soul so that God's light can enter, do not forget God because its light is the opening to its strength, there is the joy of the redeemed. Let us ask the Lord to help us find holiness, be loved by God, which is the vocation of all of us and the real redemption. Thanks.

Hiding Pipes Behind Pedestal Sink

February 11, 2011 - Apparition LOURDES TERESA OF AVILA


PREDICT rambling


Virgin, this morning I preached
forgetting the clock for the heat ...
spoke of the simple girl
you didst visit to Lourdes ...
unconsciously recreated the tone
first astonishment and fear
before that smile in the cave ...
But then only the triumphant joy!
Even under the pressure of questions
smart this heart does not waver
and repeat all the promise
yet to return to that cave!
How much, Queen so graceful,
still having to ask the name ...
Yet if you want to be born the chapel
in this holy place, you must tell me
something that will convince my pastor!

Why become sad? Dismayed
perhaps the audacity? You know I do not need
call you a name ... The only look
pours so much thrill in my heart!
"I am the Immaculate Conception"!
I repeat the words with stubborn
tenacity in fear of forgetting
breathless and I go to my church
shot in the face to the parish priest of that name
that sounds so hard to my lips ...
Why is bleaching her face to the priest?
What lies in the lap of words?
I feel that in your heart all at changed!
Maybe would not dare to cry ...
before me, the unconscious messenger
of events that will change history!

(12.08.1998 Fukuoka), Father Nicholas Galen
My dear friend, Father Nicola OCD, who was a missionary in Japan many years, I was gratified by this beautiful poem in honor of the encounter between the Virgin (Immaculate Conception) and Bernadette Soubirous, and I can not keep it for myself, for this reason the public on these virtual pages, to be able to enjoy my faithful readers. Thanks P. Nicholas, for this touching poem!

AND EDITH STEIN

page 16 - Tuesday, 1 February 2011

The OBSERVER ROMANO

weekly edition Italian language - number 5
Teresa of Avila and Edith Stein

The intermediary of master

publish the preface of the volume of Christian Dobner "If I grab the hand that touches me ... Edith Stein: The Language of God in the heart of the person "(Milano-Genova, Marietti, 2011, 158 pages, € 18).
............................................ ...
by Lucetta Scaraffia

Here's another book by Chris Dobner, author of great spiritual and cultural heritage, which has invented a highly personal style of writing: to speak through fragments of the works of authors who know and love, chosen because found in them a strong compliance with its human and spiritual soul.
Christian never speaks in first person, does not expose its intellectual discoveries theories of interpretation; tries, instead of disappearing behind the authors he prefers, and he wants to know and love. It gives us the paths of research, which she had already tried but where she never appears. Yet these paths maybe tell her much more than they could reveal autobiographical pages, because they indicate his spiritual journey and his exceptional ability to use culture to outline ways of inner growth.

We understand so clearly one thing: the common thread that unites the cultural readings and interpretations offered by Dobner, in this and his other books are the result of experiencing a spiritual path clean and clear, intellectually demanding and spiritually deep, never rests on the already said and heard, notes on safety but for now this lack of resonance in the soul of player. Writes clearly on the front pages of book: "There lies a cultural background in the abstract but a feeling that we have introjected.

In this book the author seeks to address - with the help of Edith Stein and some other saint, John of the Cross often - "the education aspects of spiritual 'aspects that depart from self-knowledge to get the relationship with others, and particularly that of spiritual guide and disciple.
The road indicated by Edith Stein is at the heart of this work, which includes but not only many quotations from his writings, but also stories of his life experiences that come from the testimony of his acquaintances and friends in the process of canonization. To confirm the fact that a holy community a way first of all through his life, and then also in this as in other cases, by his writings. Edith Stein knew, she told of having his conversion - or whatever the final decision to convert - to read the autobiography of Teresa of Avila: "Edith Stein was not struck by the Gospel, but by Teresa of Jesus: "was driving to my conversion," writes Chris.

Undoubtedly, the autobiography Teresa was the instrument through which he was encountered by Jesus, and this experience makes Stein, and consequently Dobner, particularly aware of the function that can have their writings.

In the reconstruction which is the Christian spiritual journey of Stein are not only reading, but they become essential experiences of life, recounted by witnesses to the process of canonization, which constitute a confirmation of his words, because "life and doctrine in her and her are inseparable." But if this is about Edith Stein, in general one can speak of the example of the saints, what Dobner, following the phenomenologist, call "Realism of the saints," as a tool particularly suited to overcome the stupidity of religion, because it demonstrates "how it should really be: where there is a real and living faith, there are the teachings of the faith, and the" mighty works of God " structure the content of life. "
And yet, Christian writes, "there is no other path than that of the example, to give a true teaching that creates a habit of life", as rest of Stein had learned in his long and successful experience as a teacher.

Dobner us to retrace the life of Edith Stein, the various stages of his spiritual growth: although the German philosopher converts without guides, counselors, spiritual directors, then they look, and listen to them with humility and obedience before becoming herself - in a second stage, but somehow it also has a continuity with his work as a teacher - a spiritual guide.

For Stein, the center and the starting point of any spiritual path is the human person, with his unique destiny, and therefore knowledge of oneself is an integral part the way to God if the starting point is always, necessarily, for meaning of life - is there an ultimate goal for human beings? Which life is it? Of those qualified by the adjective "eternal" - then your knowledge of own individual being the first rung of the ladder to start.

For Edith Stein, the self-knowledge and relationship with God, in fact, are closely connected: "Whoever does not get to know each other, they do not even find God and come to eternal life. Or, even more precise: who does not seek God, they can not even to himself or to the source of eternal life that awaits him in his deepest inner. "

In his role as spiritual adviser Stein uses intense empathy: "Empathy is the main way to get in touch with others and can be expressed in degrees after 'she had also studied in His experience of philosophical inquiry.

empathy towards others who had begun to experiment with Red Cross nurse caring for the wounded soldiers in World War I, then as a university professor and finally as a spiritual guide who can help others understand his faith and his vocation, well aware of the responsibility of those who play this role: "It was given the gift of penetrating their souls, to bring clarity to their condition and understand what is necessary to achieve what God has prescribed for them. "

The ability to relate with others raises the center of its path, from the beginning, but - as noted by Dobner - this is not "that ability to relate that today, in our time, teaches you to sell, deal with groups, direct services, "but something much deeper, which arises from the possibility to listen to the Holy Spirit.

intermingled with reflections of Edith Stein, Chris Dobner also gives us choices quotations from the works of John of the Cross and reflections on the Benedictine tradition of spiritual direction, well-known and experienced the same Stein.

is obvious to the reader the deep bond between the author's philosophy, which bind to the habit of intellectual work and the choice to the Carmelite religious life, and in the depths of book we can see the fruit of years of reading and meditation of the works and life of the saint. What makes writing so intense and compelling Christian is that it is not just a work of intellectual inquiry, but the narrative of an experienced intellectual and spiritual person, and so made his own.

do not know whether to take the author to the choice of life as a Carmelite nun was just reading - or Edith Teresa - but certainly his spiritual experience has been nourished by these readings, and it makes us a gift, humbly hiding its presence.

And certainly this is a valuable book, which will be part of the writings that nourish the soul because, as written by Edith Stein, cited by Dobner, "it is possible that the grace not to touch a human being, but rather choose persons as intermediaries; a human being can receive salvation by other people, in many ways differ ent. And for the love of a soul that has taken it to himself, God can attract another. "

So at the end of the reading, thanks to Christian, with a gesture of friendship, and knew he wanted to share this experience with us.

SAN BIAGIO

There is also a statue on a spire of Milan Cathedral, the city where in the past, the Christmas cake is not never ate one piece, reserving always a part of our saint's day. (It still sells for the Milano "panettone san Biagio, which would be advanced during the holiday season). San Biagio it is venerated in both East and West, and his party has spread the rite of "blessing of the throat", with the rest two crossed candles (or the anointing with blessed oil) always invoking her intercession. The application connects to a tradition that the Bishop Biagio would miraculously freed a child from a thorn or bone stuck in his throat.
Bishop, then. Ruled, it is believed, the community of Sebaste in Armenia in the Roman Empire when it grants the freedom of worship for Christians in 313 under Constantine and Licinius, both "Augusta", that emperor (and even in-laws: Licinius married a sister of Constantine). Licinius ruled the East, and therefore has as one of his subjects also Biagio. But the martyr who died around the year 316, ie after the end of the persecutions. Why? There
way of light. The fact appears to be due to the conflict broke out between the two emperors-in-law in 314 and continued with brief truces and new struggles until 325, when Constantine Licinius will strangle to Thessalonica (Thessaloniki). The conflict causes some local persecution in the East - perhaps the work of overzealous governors, writes the historian Eusebius of Caesarea in the same fourth century - with the destruction of churches, Christian convictions for forced labor, murder of bishops, including Basil of Amasea in the Black Sea region
Biagio For the traditional tales, following models often these works, which they particularly want to stimulate piety and devotion of the Christians, are full of miraculous events, but at the same time uncontrollable. Biagio's body was buried in his cathedral of Sebaste, but in 732 a part of the remains is loaded by some Armenian Christians to Rome. A sudden storm cut off but their trip to Maratea (Potenza): and here the faithful receive the relics of the saint in a church, which later became the present church, on the height now called Monte San Biagio, on whose summit was built in 1963, the great statue of the Redeemer, 21 meters high.
Since 1863 he assumed the name of the town called Monte San Biagio first Monticello (province of Latina) and placed on the southwest side of Bald Mountain. Many other places in our country are named after him: San Biagio della Cima (Imperia), San Biagio di Callalta (Treviso), San Biagio Platani (Agrigento), San Biagio Saracinisco (Frosinone) and San Biase (Chieti). But then we find also in France, Spain, Switzerland and the Americas ... It has come a long street, the Armenian bishop whose life we \u200b\u200bknow so little.

FRIENDSHIP OF GOD - SANTA TERESA OF JESUS \u200b\u200b'According to Benedict XVI


general audience, the Pope spoke of St. Teresa of Jesus

The friendship of God

pray is not to waste time but to discover the essence of our life, the love of God, said the Pope talking about Saint Teresa of Jesus's general audience Wednesday, Feb. 2, in Paul VI.



Dear brothers and sisters,
during the catechesis that I wanted to dedicate to the Church Fathers and great theologians and figures of women in the Middle Ages I was able to focus also on some saints who have been declared Doctors of the Church for their outstanding teaching. Today I will start a short series of meetings to complete the presentation of the Doctors of the Church. It started with a Santa who is one of the leaders of the Christian spirituality of all time: St. Teresa of Avila [Jesus].
was born in Avila, Spain, in 1515, with the name of Teresa de Ahumada. In her autobiography she herself mentions some details of his childhood: the birth of "virtuous and God-fearing parents, in a large family, with nine brothers and three sisters. As a child, less than 9 years, so read the lives of some martyrs who inspire the desire of martyrdom, so that a sudden short flight from home to die a martyr and go to heaven (cf. Vita 1, 4); "I want to see God," says the small parents. Some years later, Teresa speaks of his childhood reading and affirm to have you discovered the truth, which follows two basic principles: first, "the fact that everything that belongs to the world from here, go", the other that God alone is "forever, forever, forever", a theme that returns in the famous poem "Nothing will disturb / nothing frighten you, / for more. God does not change, / get all the patience; / Who has God / can not fail / Only God is enough. "Having been orphaned of mother-to-12 years, asked the Blessed Virgin that the mother's face (see Life 1, 7).
If adolescence reading secular books led her to the distractions of a social life, experience as a pupil of the Augustinian nuns of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Avila and the attendance of spiritual books, especially classics of Franciscan spirituality, teaches meditation and prayer. At age 20, he entered the Carmelite monastery of the Incarnation in Avila always, in religious life takes on the name of Teresa of Jesus Three years later, became seriously ill, so as to remain for four days in a coma, apparently Life (see Life 5, 9). Even in the fight against his illness the Holy sees the fight against the weaknesses and strengths to God's call: "I wanted to live - he writes - because I understood that I was not living, but I was struggling with the shadow of death, and had no nobody to give me life, and even I could take me, and one who could give it to me was right not to help me, because many times I had turned towards him, and I had abandoned "(Life, 8, 2). In 1543, the lose proximity of family: his father dies and all his brothers emigrated to America one by one. In Lent of 1554, to 39 years, Teresa is the culmination of the struggle against their own weaknesses. The accidental discovery of the statue "a very wounded Christ" a strong impression on his life (cf. Vita 9). La Santa, which at that time located deep harmony with the Confessions of St. Augustine, describes the decisive day of his mystical experience: "... It happened that I suddenly felt a sense of God's presence, that in no way I doubt that was within me or that I was all absorbed in Him "(Life 10, 1). In parallel with the maturation of their inner life, the Santa begins to develop in practice the ideal of reform of the Carmelite Order: founded in 1562 in Avila, with the support of the bishop of the city, Don Alvaro de Mendoza, the first Caramel reformed, and soon after also receives the approval of the Superior General Order, Giovanni Battista Rossi. In subsequent years continues, the foundations of new Camels, a total of seventeen. The key issue is the meeting with St. John of the Cross, with whom, in 1568, is a Duruelo, near Avila, the first convent of Discalced Carmelites. In 1580 obtained from Rome the erection in the Autonomous Province for its Carmeli reformed, the starting point of the religious order of Discalced Carmelites. Teresa ended his earthly life is just as engaged in the foundation. In 1582, in fact, after the Costituto Carmelo Burgos and while he is making the return trip to Avila, died the night of October 15 in Alba de Tormes, humbly repeating two phrases: "In the end, I die daughter of the Church "and" It's about time, my spouse, we'll see. "A life consumed in Spain, but spent the whole Church. beatified by Pope Paul V in 1614 and canonized in 1622 by Pope Gregory XV is proclaimed "Doctor of the Church of the Servant of God Paul VI in 1970.

Teresa of Jesus had no academic training, but has always valued the teachings of theologians, scholars and spiritual teachers. As a writer, it was always stuck to what they had personally experienced or had seen in the experience of others (see the prologue to The Way of Perfection), ie from the experience. Teresa has the opportunity to build friendly relations with many spiritual saints in particular with St. John of the Cross. At the same time, nourished by the reading of the Church Fathers, St. Jerome, St. Gregory the Great, St. Augustine. Among his major works to be mentioned first autobiography, titled Book of Life, which she calls the Book of God's mercy. Composed in Caramel Avila in 1565, reports the location and spiritual biography, written, as Teresa says the same, placing his soul to the discernment of the "Master of the spiritual," St. John of Avila. The aim is to highlight the presence and action of God the Merciful in his life for this, the work often gives the dialogue of prayer with the Lord. It is a fascinating read, because the Holy not only tells, but shows to relive the experience of his deep relationship with God In 1566, Teresa wrote the Way of Perfection, which she called the warnings and advice by Teresa of Jesus to the nuns. The beneficiaries are the twelve novices of Caramel of St. Joseph in Avila. They Teresa offers an intensive program of contemplative life to serve the Church, at the base there are the virtues of the Gospel and prayer. Among the steps the most valuable comment to our Father, a model of prayer. The opera's most famous mystic St. Teresa is the Interior Castle, written in 1577, in full maturity. It is a reinterpretation of his own journey of spiritual life and at the same time, a codification of the possible Proceedings of the Christian life to its fullness, holiness, under the action of the Holy Spirit. Teresa refers to the structure of a castle with seven rooms, as an image of the interior of man, by introducing, at the same time, the symbol of the silkworm is reborn into a butterfly, to express the transition from natural to the supernatural. The Holy Scripture is inspired, particularly the Song of Songs, the final symbol of the "couple", which allows to describe, in the seventh room, the summit of Christian life in its four aspects: the Trinity, Christology, anthropology and the Church. To his activities as founder of the Discalced Carmelite, Teresa of foundations dedicated the book, written between 1573 and 1582, where he talks about the life of the nascent religious group. As autobiography, the story is intended to highlight especially the action of God in the founding of new monasteries.

is not easy to summarize in a few words the profound spirituality and articulate Teresa. Let me mention a few key points. First, Santa Teresa offers the Gospel virtues as the basis of all Christian life and human existence in particular, the detachment from the goods or evangelical poverty, and this concerns us all, love for one another as essential element of life Community and social humility as love of truth, the determination as the result of daring Christian theological hope, which describes how the thirst for living water. Not forgetting the virtues of human kindness, truthfulness, modesty, kindness, happiness, culture. Secondly, Santa Teresa offers a complete harmony with the great biblical characters and listening to live the Word of God above all, she feels in tune with the bride of the Song of Solomon and the Apostle Paul, in addition to the Christ Passion of Jesus and the Eucharist. The Holy
also points out what is essential to prayer, to pray, he says, "means going with friends because we frequent face to face one who we know loves us" (Life, 8, 5). The idea of \u200b\u200bSanta Teresa matches with the definition that St. Thomas Aquinas gives the theological charity, such as "quaedam amicitia hominis Deum," a kind of friendship between man and God, who first offered his friendship to man, the initiative comes from God (cf. Summa Theologiae II-II, 23, 1). Prayer is life and gradually develops hand in hand with the growth of Christian life begins with vocal prayer, passing through the internalization through meditation and reflection, to achieve union of love with Christ and with the Most Holy Trinity. Obviously this is not a development in which to climb higher up means letting the previous type of prayer, but rather a gradual deepening of the relationship with God that surrounds all life. More than a pedagogy of prayer, that Teresa is a real "mystagogy": the reader of his works taught herself to pray by praying with him frequently, in fact, interrupts the story or the exposure to break out in a prayer.
Another issue dear to the Holy is the centrality of Christ's humanity. For Teresa, in fact, Christian life is a personal relationship with Jesus, culminating in union with Him by grace, love and imitation. Hence the importance that she attaches to the meditation on the Passion and the Eucharist, the presence of Christ in the Church for the life of every believer, as the heart of the liturgy. Santa Teresa lives unconditional love to the Church: she shows a live "sensus Ecclesiae" in front of episodes of conflict and division in the Church of his time. Reform of the Carmelite Order with the intention of better service and better defend the "Holy Roman Catholic Church," and is willing to give their lives for it (cf. Life 33, 5). A final key aspect of Thérèse's doctrine, I would like to emphasize, is perfection, as an aspiration of the whole Christian life and the same ultimate goal. The Santa has a very clear idea of \u200b\u200bthe "fullness" of Christ, revived by the Christian. At the end of the path of the Interior Castle, the last "room" Teresa describes the fullness of the Trinity made nell'inabitazione, union to Christ through the mystery of his humanity.
Dear brothers and sisters, Teresa of Jesus is true teacher of life for the Christian faithful of all time. In our society, often lacking in spiritual values, St. Therese teaches us to be tireless witnesses of God, his presence and his actions, teaches us to really feel this thirst for God that exists in the depths of our heart, this desire to see God, seek God, to be in conversation with him and be his friends. This is the friendship that is necessary for us all and we must try, day after day, again. The example of this Saint, deeply contemplative and operational effectiveness, we push to devote the proper time each day to prayer, this openness to God in this way to seek God, to see him to find his friendship, and so the real life, because really most of us would say, "I do not live, not I live really, why not live the essence of my life. " For this time of prayer is not wasted time is time when you open the road of life, opens the way for God to learn from an ardent love to Him, His Church, and a real love for our brothers. Thanks.
