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]
Gli evangelisti Matteo e Luca (cfr Mt 11,25-30 e Lc 10,21-22) ci hanno tramandato un «gioiello» della preghiera di Gesù, che spesso viene chiamato Inno di giubilo o Inno di giubilo messianico. Si tratta di una preghiera di riconoscenza e di lode [Papa Benedetto]
The human race – every one of us – is the sheep lost in the desert which no longer knows the way. The Son of God will not let this happen; he cannot abandon humanity in so wretched a condition. He leaps to his feet and abandons the glory of heaven, in order to go in search of the sheep and pursue it, all the way to the Cross. He takes it upon his shoulders and carries our humanity (Pope Benedict)
L’umanità – noi tutti - è la pecora smarrita che, nel deserto, non trova più la strada. Il Figlio di Dio non tollera questo; Egli non può abbandonare l’umanità in una simile miserevole condizione. Balza in piedi, abbandona la gloria del cielo, per ritrovare la pecorella e inseguirla, fin sulla croce. La carica sulle sue spalle, porta la nostra umanità (Papa Benedetto)
"Too bad! What a pity!" “Sin! What a shame!” - it is said of a missed opportunity: it is the bending of the unicum that we are inside, which every day surrenders its exceptionality to the normalizing and prim outline of common opinion. Divine Appeal of every moment directed Mary's dreams and her innate knowledge - antechamber of her trust, elsewhere
“Peccato!” - si dice di una occasione persa: è la flessione dell’unicum che siamo dentro, che tutti i giorni cede la sua eccezionalità al contorno normalizzante e affettato dell’opinione comune. L’appello divino d’ogni istante orientava altrove i sogni di Maria e il suo sapere innato - anticamera della fiducia
It is a question of leaving behind the comfortable but misleading ways of the idols of this world: success at all costs; power to the detriment of the weak; the desire for wealth; pleasure at any price. And instead, preparing the way of the Lord: this does not take away our freedom (Pope Francis)
Si tratta di lasciare le strade, comode ma fuorvianti, degli idoli di questo mondo: il successo a tutti i costi, il potere a scapito dei più deboli, la sete di ricchezze, il piacere a qualsiasi prezzo. E di aprire invece la strada al Signore che viene: Egli non toglie la nostra libertà (Papa Francesco)
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
