Spirit, defined as "another Paraclete" (Jn 14: 16), a Greek word that is equivalent to the Latin "ad-vocatus", an advocate-defender. The first Paraclete is in fact the Incarnate Son who came to defend man (Pope Benedict)
Spirito, definito "un altro Paraclito" (Gv 14,16), termine greco che equivale al latino "ad-vocatus", avvocato difensore. Il primo Paraclito infatti è il Figlio incarnato, venuto per difendere l’uomo (Papa Benedetto)
When Christians are truly convinced of this, their lives are transformed. This transformation results not only in a credible and compelling personal witness but also in an urgent and effective communication - likewise through the media - of a living faith which paradoxically increases as it is shared. It is consoling to know that all who bear the name Christian share this same conviction [John Paul II]
Quando i cristiani sono sinceramente convinti di questo, la loro vita si trasforma, e questa trasformazione si manifesta non solo nella testimonianza personale, ma anche nell'impellente ed efficace comunicazione - anche attraverso i media - di una fede viva che, paradossalmente, si accresce quando viene condivisa. È consolante sapere che tutti coloro che assumono il nome di cristiani condividono la stessa convinzione [Giovanni Paolo II]
It is sad to see good bishops, good people, but busy with many things, the finances, with this, that and the other… Prayer must take first place [Pope Francis]
È triste vedere bravi vescovi, bravi, gente buona, ma indaffarati in tante cose, l’economia, e questo e quell’altro e quell’altro… La preghiera al primo posto [Papa Francesco]
Work is part of God’s loving plan, we are called to cultivate and care for all the goods of creation and in this way share in the work of creation! Work is fundamental to the dignity of a person. Work, to use a metaphor, “anoints” us with dignity, fills us with dignity, makes us similar to God, who has worked and still works, who always acts (cf. Jn 5:17); it gives one the ability to maintain oneself, one’s family, to contribute to the growth of one’s own nation [Pope Francis]
Il lavoro fa parte del piano di amore di Dio; noi siamo chiamati a coltivare e custodire tutti i beni della creazione e in questo modo partecipiamo all’opera della creazione! Il lavoro è un elemento fondamentale per la dignità di una persona. Il lavoro, per usare un’immagine, ci “unge” di dignità, ci riempie di dignità; ci rende simili a Dio, che ha lavorato e lavora, agisce sempre (cfr Gv 5,17); dà la capacità di mantenere se stessi, la propria famiglia, di contribuire alla crescita della propria Nazione [Papa Francesco]
Dear friends, the mission of the Church bears fruit because Christ is truly present among us in a quite special way in the Holy Eucharist. His is a dynamic presence which grasps us in order to make us his, to liken us to him. Christ draws us to himself, he brings us out of ourselves to make us all one with him. In this way he also inserts us into the community of brothers and sisters: communion with the Lord is always also communion with others (Pope Benedict)
Cari amici, la missione della Chiesa porta frutto perché Cristo è realmente presente tra noi, in modo del tutto particolare nella Santa Eucaristia. La sua è una presenza dinamica, che ci afferra per farci suoi, per assimilarci a Sé. Cristo ci attira a Sé, ci fa uscire da noi stessi per fare di noi tutti una cosa sola con Lui. In questo modo Egli ci inserisce anche nella comunità dei fratelli: la comunione con il Signore è sempre anche comunione con gli altri (Papa Benedetto)
