«Too pure water has no fish». Accepting ourselves will complete us: it will make us recover the co-present, opposite and shadowed sides. It’s the leap of profound Faith. And seems incredible, but the Rock on which we build the way of being believers is Freedom
«L’acqua troppo pura non ha pesci». Accettarsi ci completerà: farà recuperare i lati compresenti, opposti e in ombra. È il balzo della Fede profonda. Sembra incredibile, ma la Roccia sulla quale edifichiamo il modo di essere credenti è la Libertà
Our shortages make us attentive, and unique. They should not be despised, but assumed and dynamized in communion - with recoveries that renew relationships. Falls are therefore also a precious signal: perhaps we are not using and investing our resources in the best possible way. So the collapses can quickly turn into (different) climbs even for those who have no self-esteem
Le nostre carenze ci rendono attenti, e unici. Non vanno disprezzate, ma assunte e dinamizzate in comunione - con recuperi che rinnovano i rapporti. Anche le cadute sono dunque un segnale prezioso: forse non stiamo utilizzando e investendo al meglio le nostre risorse. Così i crolli si possono trasformare rapidamente in risalite (differenti) anche per chi non ha stima di sé
God is Relationship simple: He demythologizes the idol of greatness. The Eternal is no longer the master of creation - He who manifested himself strong and peremptory; in his action, again in the Old Covenant illustrated through nature’s irrepressible powers
Dio è Relazione semplice: demitizza l’idolo della grandezza. L’Eterno non è più il padrone del creato - Colui che si manifestava forte e perentorio; nella sua azione, ancora nel Patto antico illustrato attraverso le potenze incontenibili della natura
What kind of Coming is it? A shortcut or an act of power to equalize our stormy waves? The missionaries are animated by this certainty: the best stability is instability: that «Deluge» Coming, where no wave resembles the others
Che tipo di Venuta è? Una scorciatoia o un atto di potenza che pareggi le nostre onde in tempesta? I missionari sono animati da questa certezza: la migliore stabilità è l’instabilità: quel «Diluvio» che Viene, dove nessuna onda somiglia alle altre
The community of believers is a sign of God’s love, of his justice which is already present and active in history but is not yet completely fulfilled and must therefore always be awaited, invoked and sought with patience and courage (Pope Benedict)
La comunità dei credenti è segno dell’amore di Dio, della sua giustizia che è già presente e operante nella storia ma che non è ancora pienamente realizzata, e pertanto va sempre attesa, invocata, ricercata con pazienza e coraggio (Papa Benedetto)
"In aeternum, Domine, verbum tuum constitutum est in caelo... firmasti terram, et permanet". This refers to the solidity of the Word. It is solid, it is the true reality on which one must base one's life (Pope Benedict)
«In aeternum, Domine, verbum tuum constitutum est in caelo... firmasti terram, et permanet». Si parla della solidità della Parola. Essa è solida, è la vera realtà sulla quale basare la propria vita (Papa Benedetto)
It has made us come here the veneration of martyrdom, on which, from the beginning, the kingdom of God is built, proclaimed and begun in human history by Jesus Christ (Pope John Paul II)
