Faith

Written by Published in Angolo dell'ottimista
3. In what does faith consist? The Constitution Dei Verbum explains that by faith, "man freely commits his entire self to God, making 'the full submission of his intellect and…
Jesus draws attention to the operative power of the Word of God, even at a distance, where authentic Faith palpitates. In this sense, an episode narrated by the Sources is…
Inside each woman and man resides a volcano of potential energies which are not to be smothered and aligned. The Lord doesn’t level the character; he doesn’t wear out the creatures. He doesn't make them desolate. The Kingdom is Near: it reinstates the imbalances. It does not mortify them, it convert them and enhances them
Dentro ciascuna donna e uomo risiede un vulcano di energie potenziali che non devono essere soffocate e allineate. Il Signore non livella il carattere; non sfianca le creature. Non le rende desolate. Il Regno è Vicino: reintegra gli squilibri. Non li mortifica, li tramuta e valorizza
The Person of Christ opens up another panorama to the perception of the two short-sighted (because ambitious) disciples. But sometimes it is necessary to take a leap in the dark, to contact one's vocational Seed; heal the gaze of the soul, recognize himself, flourish; make true Communion
La Persona di Cristo spalanca alla percezione dei due discepoli miopi (perché ambiziosi) un altro panorama. Ma talora bisogna fare un salto nel buio, per contattare il proprio Seme vocazionale; guarire lo sguardo dell’anima, riconoscersi, fiorire; fare vera Comunione
«Too pure water has no fish». Accepting ourselves will complete us: it will make us recover the co-present, opposite and shadowed sides. It’s the leap of profound Faith. And seems incredible, but the Rock on which we build the way of being believers is Freedom
«L’acqua troppo pura non ha pesci». Accettarsi ci completerà: farà recuperare i lati compresenti, opposti e in ombra. È il balzo della Fede profonda. Sembra incredibile, ma la Roccia sulla quale edifichiamo il modo di essere credenti è la Libertà
Our shortages make us attentive, and unique. They should not be despised, but assumed and dynamized in communion - with recoveries that renew relationships. Falls are therefore also a precious signal: perhaps we are not using and investing our resources in the best possible way. So the collapses can quickly turn into (different) climbs even for those who have no self-esteem
Le nostre carenze ci rendono attenti, e unici. Non vanno disprezzate, ma assunte e dinamizzate in comunione - con recuperi che rinnovano i rapporti. Anche le cadute sono dunque un segnale prezioso: forse non stiamo utilizzando e investendo al meglio le nostre risorse. Così i crolli si possono trasformare rapidamente in risalite (differenti) anche per chi non ha stima di sé
God is Relationship simple: He demythologizes the idol of greatness. The Eternal is no longer the master of creation - He who manifested himself strong and peremptory; in his action, again in the Old Covenant illustrated through nature’s irrepressible powers
Dio è Relazione semplice: demitizza l’idolo della grandezza. L’Eterno non è più il padrone del creato - Colui che si manifestava forte e perentorio; nella sua azione, ancora nel Patto antico illustrato attraverso le potenze incontenibili della natura
What kind of Coming is it? A shortcut or an act of power to equalize our stormy waves? The missionaries are animated by this certainty: the best stability is instability: that «Deluge» Coming, where no wave resembles the others
Che tipo di Venuta è? Una scorciatoia o un atto di potenza che pareggi le nostre onde in tempesta? I missionari sono animati da questa certezza: la migliore stabilità è l’instabilità: quel «Diluvio» che Viene, dove nessuna onda somiglia alle altre
