O Lord, let my faith be full, without reservations, and let penetrate into my thought, in my way of judging divine things and human things (Pope Paul VI)
O Signore, fa’ che la mia fede sia piena, senza riserve, e che essa penetri nel mio pensiero, nel mio modo di giudicare le cose divine e le cose umane (Papa Paolo VI)
The Judgment surprises and makes friends with the journey of each one who notices
Il Giudizio sorprende e fa amicizia con il viaggio di ciascuno che si accorge
This is where the challenge for your life lies! It is here that you can manifest your faith, your hope and your love! [John Paul II at the Tala Leprosarium, Manila]
È qui la sfida per la vostra vita! È qui che potete manifestare la vostra fede, la vostra speranza e il vostro amore! [Giovanni Paolo II al Lebbrosario di Tala, Manila]
The more we do for others, the more we understand and can appropriate the words of Christ: “We are useless servants” (Lk 17:10). We recognize that we are not acting on the basis of any superiority or greater personal efficiency, but because the Lord has graciously enabled us to do so [Pope Benedict, Deus Caritas est n.35]
Quanto più uno s'adopera per gli altri, tanto più capirà e farà sua la parola di Cristo: « Siamo servi inutili » (Lc 17, 10). Egli riconosce infatti di agire non in base ad una superiorità o maggior efficienza personale, ma perché il Signore gliene fa dono [Papa Benedetto, Deus Caritas est n.35]
Each time we celebrate the dedication of a church, an essential truth is recalled: the physical temple made of brick and mortar is a sign of the living Church serving in history (Pope Francis)
Ogni volta che celebriamo la dedicazione di una chiesa, ci viene richiamata una verità essenziale: il tempio materiale fatto di mattoni è segno della Chiesa viva e operante nella storia (Papa Francesco)
It is a happy image with which, however, Jesus teaches a truth that calls us into question […] If we remove God, we remove Christ and the world falls back into emptiness and darkness (Pope Benedict)
E’ un’immagine felice, con cui però Gesù insegna una verità che ci mette in discussione […] Se togliamo Dio, se togliamo Cristo, il mondo ripiomba nel vuoto e nel buio (Papa Benedetto)
We would also like to set an example ourself, even if the smallness of our means might prevent anyone from appreciating the practical and quantitative significance of it. We want to see our own charitable institutions undergo a new development in the struggle against hunger and toward meeting the main needs of the world. This is the way and the only way to build peace (Pope Paul VI)
Vorremmo anche Noi dare l'esempio, sebbene l'esiguità dei Nostri mezzi ci impedisca di farne apprezzare la rilevanza pratica e quantitativa: Noi vogliamo dare alle Nostre istituzioni caritative un nuovo sviluppo in favore della fame e dei bisogni del mondo: è in questo modo, e non altrimenti, che si costruisce la pace (Papa Paolo VI)
As St. Ambrose put it: You are not making a gift of what is yours to the poor man, but you are giving him back what is his (Pope Paul VI, Populorum Progressio n.23)
Non è del tuo avere, afferma sant’Ambrogio, che tu fai dono al povero; tu non fai che rendergli ciò che gli appartiene (Papa Paolo VI, Populorum Progressio n.23)
Here is the entire Gospel! Here! The whole Gospel, all of Christianity, is here! But make sure that it is not sentiment, it is not being a “do-gooder”! (Pope Francis)
