Fasting: Opening

Written by Published in Commento precedente
New Wineskins and vocational Freedom (Mt 9:14-17) Fasting is a regenerative principle that has a unique healing power, both detoxifying and essential. It activates the energies of humanity and at…
Dear friends, “in the Eucharist Jesus also makes us witnesses of God’s compassion towards all our brothers and sisters. The Eucharistic mystery thus gives rise to a service of charity towards neighbour” (Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Sacramentum Caritatis, 88) [Pope Benedict]
Cari amici, “nell’Eucaristia Gesù fa di noi testimoni della compassione di Dio per ogni fratello e sorella. Nasce così intorno al Mistero eucaristico il servizio della carità nei confronti del prossimo” (Esort. ap. postsin. Sacramentum caritatis, 88) [Papa Benedetto]
We see this great figure, this force in the Passion, in resistance to the powerful. We wonder: what gave birth to this life, to this interiority so strong, so upright, so consistent, spent so totally for God in preparing the way for Jesus? The answer is simple: it was born from the relationship with God (Pope Benedict)
Noi vediamo questa grande figura, questa forza nella passione, nella resistenza contro i potenti. Domandiamo: da dove nasce questa vita, questa interiorità così forte, così retta, così coerente, spesa in modo così totale per Dio e preparare la strada a Gesù? La risposta è semplice: dal rapporto con Dio (Papa Benedetto)
Christian's are a priestly people for the world. Christians should make the living God visible to the world, they should bear witness to him and lead people towards him (Pope Benedict)
I cristiani sono popolo sacerdotale per il mondo. I cristiani dovrebbero rendere visibile al mondo il Dio vivente, testimoniarLo e condurre a Lui (Papa Benedetto)
Christ says: the kingdom of heaven is similar "to a net thrown into the sea, which gathers all kinds of fish" (Mt 13:47). These simple words completely change the physiognomy of the world: the physiognomy of our human world, as we make it [Pope John Paul II]
Cristo dice: il regno dei cieli è simile “a una rete gettata nel mare, che raccoglie ogni genere di pesci” (Mt 13,47). Queste semplici parole mutano completamente la fisionomia del mondo: la fisionomia del nostro mondo umano, come noi ce la facciamo [Papa Giovanni Paolo II]
Christ is not resigned to the tombs that we have built for ourselves (Pope Francis)
Cristo non si rassegna ai sepolcri che ci siamo costruiti (Papa Francesco)
Many situations, then, which unfortunately do not conform to the legitimate predictions and rules established, are anything but negative; and instead of taking away confidence for the harassment they cause, They should have it more generous and far-sighted in favor of their process of responsible decantation (Pope Paul VI)
Molte situazioni, poi, che non sono purtroppo conformi alle legittime previsioni e alle norme stabilite, sono tutt’altro che del tutto negative; e invece di togliere la fiducia per la molestia che arrecano, esse dovrebbero averla più generosa e lungimirante in favore del loro processo di responsabile decantazione (Papa Paolo VI)
We must not fear the humility of taking little steps, but trust in the leaven that penetrates the dough and slowly causes it to rise (cf. Mt 13:33) [Pope Benedict]
Occorre non temere l’umiltà dei piccoli passi e confidare nel lievito che penetra nella pasta e lentamente la fa crescere (cfr Mt 13,33) [Papa Benedetto]
The joy of the Gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus. Those who accept his offer of salvation are set free from sin, sorrow, inner emptiness and loneliness. With Christ joy is constantly born anew [Evangelii Gaudium n.1]
