The new Creation announced in the suburbs invests the ancient territory, which still hesitates. We too, accepting different horizons than expected, allow the divine soul of the history of salvation to visit us
La nuova Creazione annunciata in periferia investe il territorio antico, che ancora tergiversa. Anche noi, accettando orizzonti differenti dal previsto, consentiamo all’anima divina della storia della salvezza di farci visita
Luke the Evangelist of the Poor celebrates the reversals of the situation: pharisee and tax collector, prodigal son and firstborn, samaritan and priest-levite, Lazarus and rich man, first and last place, Beatitudes and “woe to you”... so in the anthem of the Magnificat
Luca evangelista dei poveri celebra i ribaltamenti di situazione: fariseo e pubblicano, figlio prodigo e primogenito, samaritano e sacerdote-levita, Lazzaro e ricco epulone, primo e ultimo posto, Beatitudini e “guai”... così nell’inno del Magnificat
In these words we find the core of biblical truth about St. Joseph; they refer to that moment in his life to which the Fathers of the Church make special reference (Redemtoris Custos n.2)
In queste parole è racchiuso il nucleo centrale della verità biblica su san Giuseppe, il momento della sua esistenza a cui in particolare si riferiscono i padri della Chiesa (Redemtoris Custos n.2)
The ancient priest stagnates, and evaluates based on categories of possibilities; reluctant to the Spirit who moves situations
Il sacerdote antico ristagna, e valuta basando su categorie di possibilità; riluttante allo Spirito che smuove le situazioni
«Even through Joseph’s fears, God’s will, his history and his plan were at work. Joseph, then, teaches us that faith in God includes believing that he can work even through our fears, our frailties and our weaknesses. He also teaches us that amid the tempests of life, we must never be afraid to let the Lord steer our course. At times, we want to be in complete control, yet God always sees the bigger picture» (Patris Corde, n.2)
«Anche attraverso l’angustia di Giuseppe passa la volontà di Dio, la sua storia, il suo progetto. Giuseppe ci insegna così che avere fede in Dio comprende pure il credere che Egli può operare anche attraverso le nostre paure, le nostre fragilità, la nostra debolezza. E ci insegna che, in mezzo alle tempeste della vita, non dobbiamo temere di lasciare a Dio il timone della nostra barca. A volte noi vorremmo controllare tutto, ma Lui ha sempre uno sguardo più grande» (Patris Corde, n.2)
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)
