Innocence prepares, invokes, hastens Peace. But are these things of so much value and so precious? The answer is immediate, explicit: they are very precious gifts (Pope Paul VI)
L’innocenza prepara, invoca, affretta la Pace. Ma si tratta di cose di tanto valore e così preziose? La risposta è immediata, esplicita: sono doni preziosissimi (Papa Paolo VI)

Raw life is full of powers: «Be grateful for everything that comes, because everything was sent as a guide to the afterlife» [Gialal al-Din Rumi]
La vita grezza è colma di potenze: «Sii grato per tutto quel che arriva, perché ogni cosa è stata mandata come guida dell’aldilà» [Gialal al-Din Rumi]
It is not enough to be a pious and devoted person to become aware of the presence of Christ - to see God himself, brothers and things with the eyes of the Spirit. An uncomfortable vision, which produces conflict with those who do not want to know

John is the origin of our loftiest spirituality. Like him, ‘the silent ones' experience that mysterious exchange of hearts, pray for John's presence, and their hearts are set on fire (Athinagoras)
Giovanni è all'origine della nostra più alta spiritualità. Come lui, i ‘silenziosi’ conoscono quel misterioso scambio dei cuori, invocano la presenza di Giovanni e il loro cuore si infiamma (Atenagora)
Stephen's story tells us many things: for example, that charitable social commitment must never be separated from the courageous proclamation of the faith. He was one of the seven made responsible above all for charity. But it was impossible to separate charity and faith. Thus, with charity, he proclaimed the crucified Christ, to the point of accepting even martyrdom. This is the first lesson we can learn from the figure of St Stephen: charity and the proclamation of faith always go hand in hand (Pope Benedict)
