Mission Sunday 2009 "When the silence is prayer," High and Glorious God true story of a man who was lost and is found .... In this life, nobody has it easy to choose what is right or wrong to do, which is the road right to follow. This tortuous path the ground, it often happens that all of this, there can only be reached after passing a dark moment, very hard and difficult.
Every man is left free to choose, following their own conscience and the teachings received. Our experiences lead us to say: man must always live in God's presence
The human being, even if it is not good accounting for all the mysterious world around him , moves are also under the influences behind his back, make it an instrument of something greater than himself, whether good or bad.
Being in God's grace, it becomes real to him guaranteed not to miss in front of immense, becoming a living part, active in every action, without running the risk of falling into unpleasant tricks that could divert it, so away from what is most sacred is embodied in his heart. Often if things do not go as we want to anger us, our whole being changes its appearance at that time to ask for help should not be lost to the Spirit of God, that the Holy Spirit. Only then can we bring order to the tattered that you created in our lives, often a true Babel. In this hard time, one must be able to pull out all the good that we have inside, the positive things we learned, ciò che c’è stato insegnato, se ne abbiamo avuto la fortuna, da chi avendo il cuore infervorato di Dio, ha visto trasformare tutta la sua vita; altrimenti bisogna seguire istintivamente la propria coscienza,valutando bene se ciò che decidiamo di fare, ci lascia pace e gioia nel cuore.
Noi abbiamo avuto la grazia di essere stati sempre esauditi in questa grande preghiera di aiuto; il nostro cammino è stato sempre segnato dall’incontro di grandi anime. Anime pure, Sante che con la loro saggezza hanno saputo capirci e guidarci verso la cosa più bella e grande che esiste al mondo: la fede in Cristo nostro Signore. Egli è la vera forza della vita. La fede è forza infinita che riempiendo di Luce i cuori e le menti, us fervor of God, led to the search of Wisdom as safe driving, to this never called: Eternity.
Man through the church, Mother and Bride of Christ, must seek a reliable guide to prepare for the big meeting with God each of us needs to understand the great value of life, this great gift of God that should not be wasted running after false ideals, but must be experienced in all its fullness to accumulate merit for heaven. It 'very important to be enlightened on the right path to follow, we must not lose the great joy of being immersed in the infinite love of the Lord.
The man however great they may be, in God's hands is just a tiny dot. Remains visible, thanks to the pulsating beat of his heart, soul fervor has slowly, bringing it high enough to reach the Great Throne of God in the highest purity to be prepared for the Final Judgement without fear, trusting in divine justice and to live eternally in the Light of His Glory.
All we journey, faith is the only weapon we have to overcome the unknown, the intangible that surrounds us and frightens us. We must learn to let go with trust without asking too much because, we are confronted with great openness of mind to listen, learn to speak with humility and sincerity, with care Gesù, poiché Egli è Vivo in mezzo a noi. Bisogna saper chiedere perdono con cuore contrito di tutte le nostre mancanze, la nostra anima deve essere riconciliata con Dio per essere in grado di elevarsi fino a Lui: bisogna imparare a pregare. La preghiera è un’arma potente che con la grazia del Signore, diventa una corazza indistruttibile per proteggere con forza la nostra anima che rimane così inespugnabile ad ogni influsso negativo, aprendo sempre più il nostro cuore, alle cose del cielo. E’ qualcosa di grande ed impercettibile che piano piano ci trasforma in ciò che mai avremmo potuto immaginare di essere. Il nostro cuore deve chiedersi dove stiamo andando, verso quale meta siamo diretti, a cosa serve questa vita, così with well-disposed
we are ready to listen to the Word of God. " This is the only way to find the light ...
Faith is something intangible, we can not see it but certainly we feel strong in our hearts. This becomes visible, credible and palpable only when it is put into practice with the good works which are the unfailing spirit of faith. Are the strength of God, where is unleashing all his power that every time he becomes the living presence of our Lord and King, even the miracles are the practical demonstration and visible. Gifts with which God allows us to participate to increase in us this grace of faith.
Faith must always be fed and demonstrated. It happens by listening to the Word. Once in us, we must always keep it with love, be very vigilant as to get lost, stumble and fall into the net of the devil just a moment of distraction. This being unclean is always looking for prey to devour. Only if you know good things spiritual, we will be able to recognize it, and expose him to escape its long claws. We must always attend Mass, where in addition to listening to the word, every time you renew the sacrifice of Christ our Lord for our redemption. Blessed Sacrament, through the offering of the Eucharist strengthens us for the battle against the evil one. This powerful mystery is surely the greatest gift that God has given us, we try to never lose!
God so loved the world that he, on earth, his only Son as the only Way, Truth and Life, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who with his
"Yes" made us this great grace .
You, Pure, Immaculate from the beginning, becoming obedient servant to the end, he gave his life, working in our redemption. She, full of grace, accompanying the Son to the cross has proved the greatest pain for a mother ... She has tried all the pain of the spear that pierced His Sweet Heart di Gesù, aprendo per noi, la Fonte di Infinita Misericordia, da dove scaturì subito sangue ed acqua. Solo attraverso Lei, potremmo arrivare a Gesù.
Nessuno conosce il Padre se non conosce il Figlio:
“chi conosce Me conosce il Padre Mio che è nei cieli” dice Gesù. E’ importante capire la scrittura per conoscere Dio. Egli è l’unico vero Amico della nostra vita, Egli non tradisce mai! Mantiene sempre le Sue promesse. Il Suo Amore è infinito.
Nel nostro cammino terreno, siamo in viaggio per conquistare l’Eternità, il nostro pellegrinaggio dura poco, perciò non bisogna perdere nessuna occasione per acquistare meriti per il Paradiso; ogni nostro sacrificio, all our good work will serve to open the doors of Mercy, with whom the Lord our God wants us to draw all to himself. He did not want to lose any of his children, he is the good shepherd and says:
"I am the good shepherd, I know my sheep and they know me, my sheep recognize my voice and follow me, no one can take from my arm. The good shepherd gives his life for his sheep. " Let us understand this great mystery to not get lost in the winding paths of life. In Faith we must not expect everything to materialize, because faith is spirituality. Between us and our Creator is an unfathomable abyss, only his great love for noi ci permette di essergli vicino. La Sua infinita Misericordia e bontà lo portano a chinarsi fino a noi. Nelle prove più dure Egli ci è sempre accanto, anche se a volte ci sembra di non percepire la Sua presenza. Solo il peccato grave lo allontana da noi. Egli non ci abbandona mai! vuole per noi il meglio, bisogna credere fortemente alla frase:
”Gesù io credo nel Tuo Amore per me” , come ci ha insegnato un padre passionista esorcista, ed abbandonarci con fiducia così troveremo presto nella Sua Luce, la via per uscire sempre vincitori nelle sfide della vita.
Il Signore ha sempre delle Grazie per noi, sono i nostri peccati ad allontanarle, bisogna vivere according to the commandments to discover the greatness of God and be true Christians. He is good and in His infinite mercy and always ready to forgive our failures. He is the doctor of doctors, and came to this earth to heal the sick, not healthy. Be aware that often our ways are not His ways. Be strong and believe in your sincerity and great love for us, he always knows what is right for our soul, we are too small, we will never make a proper distinction between what is best for us, we are human too, too weak, too attracted to the things of this world. He wants to draw us all to itself, bringing us to love the things of heaven, to push this and win our deafness, sometimes also calls us through suffering. He wants only our love, wants to cleanse us not lose what is most beautiful and wonderful has to offer: all the peace and beauty of Paradise. That wonderful peace that only in Christ we can find, so we talked about in our beloved Pope John PaoloII of blessed memory. It 'just remembering this great man of God, the successor of Peter, the Torch of Lolek, travels the world. He for 27 years from 16 October 1978-2 April 2005, he was head of the church teaching by example of life, which is the right way to heaven, in His loving presence, there was already enjoy all splendor. He wore everywhere hope by its ability to give love, giving tirelessly of your life without effort, urged us all to reflect on the true values \u200b\u200bof life. A pure soul, the enlightened, of which God used to draw many souls to himself. These are great Thank you fell from heaven to us, do not miss the priceless value that enclose them in great message of Light.
we have to decide to be true Christians, knowing that God is Light, Peace and Love, and always leaves us free to choose the way forward. If we want peace we must be in Him and live according to his commandments, knowing that without God is not going anywhere.
careful, because it is very easy to get lost. The great conceit to understand everything, everyone fell in love with their culture, often leads astray ... remember that God has always revealed to the humble .... We open our hearts and we must stop thinking only judge. Today, increasingly, there she attacked the church for its mistakes, judges only. He always points the finger at others, it pretends to be indulged in their own selfish desires, your passions, you'll fall so low as to claim that God changes His rules and the commandments according to the pleasure of man, which loves to feel more and more the master of the world, He wants only that, everything at once. No ties, no obligations, no limits, only pleasure, everything must move to satisfy his perverse desires and passions, and so many fall into the pit deeper. We all have to start thinking seriously about our future, what awaits us after life. We must begin to look inside, you start worrying about the great shipwreck of our faith. Every man must return to Christ, we must pray for those who wrong for ourselves and we must be true soldiers of Christ, always able to defend our Mother Church, not to justify his mistakes, but never allow the evil of implement its plans perverse. Each Look in a mirror trying to find their IO into the well. God does not want revenge, let alone judges, and His vengeance is His justice. Judge when he comes back he will be relentless, scaraventerà save the righteous and the sinners into the eternal fire, no one can stop his powerful hand. ... And would seek to have all common sense, everyone walking by the most right. Thinking of eternity, no way is too narrow for us. ... If we convince ourselves that hell really exists. This horrible place, was created by God for the devil and his angels. It 's a place where the souls of sinners will be damned eternal, immersed in immense pain and torment without end, as well as reminding us of the Medjugorje visionaries.
The journey of the Torch of Lolek, reminds us all of this. Through the great memory of John Paul II, the Light of Christ speaks to us, if enclosed in bringing the Light of Peace Mariana. The light which comes through Mary to Jesus, the way of joy and love, where John Paul II loved to dwell, in highlighting
"Totus tuus". Never! As this year's plan God has been so great in keeping this almost stationary light in his travels. While we almost know how to stop the crying, the Lord prepared to a larger work ... today we ask God's forgiveness for our lack of confidence, knowing that he had never abandons us! Be certain that when this light is always traveling on the will of God. Things were going to accept all of them with great respect, without doubts and grudges, always only as reliable as the Lord, praying that everything that happened, it was only the fruit of His Holy Will. Nobody knows, as we are, the truth about this Light and we should never have doubts.
E 'was definitely a serious failure, but it certainly served to make us realize, once again, of how small and unworthy we are before the Lord our God Our human misery becomes strong only in His hands.
As always, to write the script for us, is the great Divine will. Also this time the passage of light could not remain indifferent to the heart of God, leaving all of us, a great sign of his immense goodness and infinite mercy.
After participating in the mission day, held at the Blue Village Airport Guidonia for orphaned children in Benin, accompanied by our loyal flag-wavers: Fabrizio and Daniel, who with their great show, have contributed to enrich this great initiative, now in its 14th edition, the Divine Providence as ever assist us.
On March 19, the Torch of Lolek was invited by Father Julius Headbands OFM, took part in Guidonia, the Precept Pasquale Vico officiated by Bishop Allen, Vicar General of the Military for Italy. Presents a broad participation of civil and military authorities. The torch, illuminating the beautiful church of Guidonia Airport, Our Lady of Loreto, full of beautiful paintings and mosaics type icon, was a strong sign of hope that shone especially in the hearts of many military personnel, representatives of all armed forces bringing great joy and Peace, that the Risen Christ. This Easter season is a painful and beautiful time of year where every Christian must find his true identity, recalling the great triumph of the Cross on the Death, by penance and meditation on Christ's sacrifice for our salvation, our reconciliation with God the Father. He is risen and is alive among us. Now you feel closer than ever! Everything was beautiful in us assumed great significance. Before the end of the function we were welcome to give our greetings and our own testimony, then it all ended, together with the highest authorities there agreed with un gustoso rinfresco, organizzato per l’occasione dalla Comunità Locale. Abbiamo ricevuto anche un bellissimo e graditissimo ricordo per la nostra presenza lì. Infine salutiamo il Vicario Generale lasciandogli un piccolo, ma prezioso, ricordo delle nostre manifestazioni, benedetto sulla Tomba di Giovanni Paolo II, poi facciamo una bella foto ricordo scambiandoci gli auguri di una Buona Pasqua di Risurrezione. Oltre i saluti si esplicano promesse di preghiere per chi, subito dopo, doveva partire in missione per l’Afganistan.
E’ sempre bellissimo essere in questo Aeroporto di Guidonia, ci si sente veramente a casa tra amici, Padre Giulio Cerchietti è un vero Pastore di Cristo ed un instancabile animatore di questa bellissima comunità, ricca di grandi valori, sempre animata da grande entusiasmo, pronta ad accogliere qualsiasi sacrificio per soddisfare ogni bisogno umano, dei più deboli.
Tutto ci preparava ad un altro importante momento che avremmo avuto, con questa splendida realtà di intere famiglie di volontari, dell’aeroporto di Guidonia: la Via Crucis del Venerdì Santo. Un momento molto forte, molto contemplativo sul grande sacrificio di Cristo per noi, il Suo Grande Amore, il suo grande dolore sia fisico che morale. Tutto era ancora più forte e sentito per noi che, da poco tempo, avevamo ricevuto una bruttissima notizia: un nostro caro conoscente, a causa di un gravissimo incidente, lottava, in ospedale, per la vita ... era in gravissime condizioni fisiche. Non potevamo assolutamente mancare a questo intenso e sentito momento di preghiera che ci portava a rivivere il doloroso momento, del martirio di Cristo, sentendolo più intensamente nel profondo del nostro cuore a causa del dispiacere che ci affliggeva. Ci sentivamo molto colpiti da questo brutto evento, c’era un bisogno estremo di pregare, non potevamo restare indifferenti a questo grande grido di aiuto che ci straziava il cuore. Il Signore che non rimane mai indifferente alle preghiere, ci metteva tutti alla prova. Mentre noi quasi ci disperavamo, Egli stava già operando il Suo Grande progetto d’Amore che, per la poca fede che ci anima, non riuscivamo ancora a capire. Il dono di Grazia che Egli preparava per noi, era veramente grande… Tutto ci portava efficacemente, a meditare sul vero senso della vita, il vero significato delle cose. Pregando intensamente pian, piano il nostro cuore si apriva e la nostra mente si illuminava, rimanevamo sbigottiti nel capire i disegni di Dio; non eravamo lì per caso. Questa Luce non poteva partire, il Signore aveva per noi progetti più grandi. La Luce scaldando i cuori, lì avrebbe portati tanto in alto, fino a raggiungere il Glorioso Trono di Dio, dove di certo il nostro grido sarebbe stato ascoltato ed esaudito, helped, as always, the tireless intercession of our saints.
This painful journey of the Cross, is held in the Village Airport. Led in prayer by Father Julius Headbands ofm, drew many people to attend. To our infinite joy, the Torch is brought to Lolek, all the way from a young age that we are well aware that, in life, is very close to those who fought in that moment between life and death, with the great risk to remain sick. An unforgettable experience, unique and definitely not happened by chance .... In this mixture of grief, prayer and reflection, all took on a sweet taste of poetry. What was happening, was born incredibly profound joy in my heart, God's plan began to be increasingly clear to us, we felt strongly the call to prayer and the call became stronger and stronger, spreading later to other people . After this mystical time of the Glorious Easter period, we rely more and more in the goodness of the Lord. With faith, we were guaranteed a great help for the difficult time of prayers that were going through these people dear to us. God, she wanted the love of his children and his infinite mercy would have certainly not abandoned. The next morning, came the beautiful news: our friend was finally out of danger of life, even if his physical condition was still in a very delicate phase.
A hard, painful, but certainly much that it has brought so much suffering, but also much love and teachings of life. The arrival of Easter was now more symbolic than anything, a very special moment where the power of God manifests itself in all its splendor ... all been waiting for the Risen Jesus. Everything took a deep value. Remaining in prayer, not one who forgot, doing his work, he was with our friend at the time of the tragedy, marked ormai, da un duro cambiamento di vita, rimanendo colpito dalla totale immobilità di tutti e quattro gli arti. Eravamo sempre più consapevoli che dall’alto qualcuno ci assisteva. Il luogo dove tutte queste dure emozioni hanno trovato sfogo nella preghiera, non poteva essere più adatto. La Madonna di Loreto, Patrona della famiglia e Protettrice degli aviatori, era la Madre Piena di Grazia che accoglieva le nostre, povere preghiere, per presentarle al Figlio e farle giungere fino al Trono dell’Altissimo, dove a Lei tutto è concesso. Fiduciosi in questo magnifico e dolce abbraccio materno, proseguivamo il nostro cammino. Godevamo a pieno la bellezza della Grazia di Dio, assaporando ancora una volta il vivo e profondo significato del cammino di questa Luce, che come sempre segna il cuore di chiunque la incontri, servendosi sempre di più della fede delle persone semplici ed umili, la cui bontà d’animo è sempre ben voluta dal Signore .
Continueremo con gioia, ad affidare questo straordinario cammino a Dio, sotto la guida di santi sacerdoti, per continuare ad essere illuminati sulla Parola di Salvezza, affinchè mai nulla possa ostacolare, il progetto di Dio sul grande valore, di questo Luminoso messaggio.
Ringraziamo di cuore tutti coloro che hanno pregato insieme a noi per far continuare un bel sogno ad una famiglia, oggi capace, ancor di più, di capire i veri valori della vita, racchiusi tutti nella ricchezza del cuore. Il silenzio della Luce si è rivelato oggi, un grido di Gioia e di Lode che attraverso il dolore, ha trovato,ancora una volta, forza in Cristo : Via, Verità e Vita.
Il miracolo più grande avviene quando l’uomo riesce a capire lo sforzo di Dio e L’anima riconosce la grazia scaturita dal Cuore Misericordioso di Gesù come Luce Viva, tutto porta alla conversione, ma soltanto se viene liberamente scelta questa via. Basta mostrare un piccolo cenno di buona volontà e l’Onnipotenza della Misericordia di Dio farà il resto:
“felice l’anima che approfitta di questa grazia” dice Gesù a Santa Maria Faustina Kowalska, as is clearly stated in the book Diary:
"The Divine Mercy in My Soul" the chapter which speaks of the dialogue between God the Merciful desperate soul, Jesus said, turning again to the soul:
" What joy fills My Heart when you return to me. I see you're very weak so I take you in my arms and carry you in my house seems " so the soul is to awaken as if saying
" It 's really possible that there is still mercy for me? Lord now I see all my ingratitude and Your goodness. You were pursuing me with Thy grace, while I was wipe out all your efforts, I see that I was waiting for the depths of hell for spurning your thanks. " Jesus stops and says the words of the soul:
"Do not bring your misery, you're too weak to talk, look pretty on My Heart full of goodness, my feelings and absorbing power of attorney to buy the meekness and humility. Be merciful to others, as I am with you and when you realize that your strength become weak, come to the fountain of mercy to fortify your soul, you will not cross your path. " must not say more, now that the miracle happened, we just praise and thank the Living God for His great goodness.
In our friend today is animated by faith. As soon as he was transferred to Rome, where he lives and where he will end his care, he wanted to stand with all his might, to get to the bottom of my heart thank Mary Mother of Jesus and Mother of the Church to receive this miracle. Everyone learns to bend his knees before the cross, just so you can get great Thanks.
Remaining in prayer for those being tested, prostrate with love, always at the service of the Lord, the appointment is the next story that will live in praise and glory of God with the Torch of Lolek.
Alessandra and Marco Ps.: The Good Shepherd when he saw the wolf does not run away, but his life for his sheep. He lost one, leaving all others to find her. Jesus says, "Give me your heart, love me as you are, if you wait to be perfect, you love me ever." We are all called to holiness and invited to drink from the fountain of life, Jesus says: "Whoever drinks this water will never thirst." We seek in him what they desperately every day, we want to find in life and our thirst for love, will always be satisfied.
Let molded by the Spirit of God ...
