Man is the surname of God: the Lord in fact takes his name from each of us - whether we are saints or sinners - to make him our surname (Pope Francis). God's fidelity to the Promise is realized not only through men, but with them (Pope Benedict).
L’uomo è il cognome di Dio: il Signore infatti prende il nome da ognuno di noi — sia che siamo santi, sia che siamo peccatori — per farlo diventare il proprio cognome (Papa Francesco). La fedeltà di Dio alla Promessa si attua non soltanto mediante gli uomini, ma con loro (Papa Benedetto)
In the communities of Galilee and Syria the pagans quickly became a majority - elevated to the rank of sons. They did not submit to nerve-wracking processes, but spontaneously were recognizing the Lord
Nelle comunità di Galilea e Siria i pagani diventavano rapidamente maggioranza - elevati al rango di figli. Essi non si sottoponevano a trafile snervanti, ma spontaneamente riconoscevano il Signore
And thus we must see Christ again and ask Christ: “Is it you?” The Lord, in his own silent way, answers: “You see what I did, I did not start a bloody revolution, I did not change the world with force; but lit many I, which in the meantime form a pathway of light through the millenniums” (Pope Benedict)
E così dobbiamo di nuovo vedere Cristo e chiedere a Cristo: “Sei tu?”. Il Signore, nel modo silenzioso che gli è proprio, risponde: “Vedete cosa ho fatto io. Non ho fatto una rivoluzione cruenta, non ho cambiato con forza il mondo, ma ho acceso tante luci che formano, nel frattempo, una grande strada di luce nei millenni” (Papa Benedetto)
Experts in the Holy Scriptures believed that Elijah's return should anticipate and prepare for the advent of the Kingdom of God. Since the Lord was present, the first disciples wondered what the value of that teaching was. Among the people coming from Judaism the question arose about the value of ancient doctrines…
Gli esperti delle sacre Scritture ritenevano che il ritorno di Elia dovesse anticipare e preparare l’avvento del Regno di Dio. Poiché il Signore era presente, i primi discepoli si chiedevano quale fosse il valore di quell’insegnamento. Tra i provenienti dal giudaismo sorgeva il quesito circa il peso delle dottrine antiche...
Gospels make their way, advance and free, making us understand the enormous difference between any creed and the proposal of Jesus. Even within us, the life of Faith embraces all our sides and admits many things. Thus we become more complete and emancipate ourselves, reversing positions.
I Vangeli si fanno largo, avanzano e liberano, facendo comprendere l’enorme differenza tra credo qualsiasi e proposta di Gesù. Anche dentro di noi, la vita di Fede abbraccia tutti i nostri lati e ammette tante cose. Così diventiamo più completi e ci emancipiamo, ribaltando posizioni
We cannot draw energy from a severe setting, contrary to the flowering of our precious uniqueness. New eyes are transmitted only by the one who is Friend. And Christ does it not when we are well placed or when we equip ourselves strongly - remaining in a managerial attitude - but in total listening
Non possiamo trarre energia da un’impostazione severa, contraria alla fioritura della nostra preziosa unicità. Gli occhi nuovi sono trasmessi solo da colui che è Amico. E Cristo lo fa non quando ci collochiamo bene o attrezziamo forte - permanendo in atteggiamento dirigista - bensì nell’ascolto totale
The Evangelists Matthew and Luke (cf. Mt 11:25-30 and Lk 10:21-22) have handed down to us a “jewel” of Jesus’ prayer that is often called the Cry of Exultation or the Cry of Messianic Exultation. It is a prayer of thanksgiving and praise [Pope Benedict]
