Siamo giunte alla conclusione del nostro Intercapitolo e dal cuore sale il ringraziamento e la lode per quanto il Signore ci ha permesso di vivere in queste giornate di grazia, accompagnandoci con la sua benevolenza e aiutandoci a superare, nella pace, anche qualche “imprevisto, soprattutto di salute.

We live in a time where information has become very accessible. What were once confined within the walls of a library have now been opened and freed by internet technology. What was once an expensive international phone call can now be done for just a few coins. Digital publications have made it possible for me to carry a hundreds books, saved in this small device. Now more than ever, people are constantly accessing information — whenever and wherever they need them. If Alberione were alive today, he would be certainly thrilled to see how information travels a million times faster than the fastest Frecciarossa train. Continue reading »

Quando credi… (16 settembre)

La mia riflessione e preghiera sulle letture di oggi mi ha fatto intravedere quanto sia importante CREDERE.

From the time we entered the Pauline Family, we have always found the four wheels in every sphere of our life–a sign that it is a method that is lived and put into practice. Continue reading »

The Holy Spirit forms the flesh of the Son of God in the womb of a woman and generates the Church in the womb of the Cenacle in Jerusalem. Each time the Third Person of the Trinity gives life to something new, Mary is present. Continue reading »

Let us take as our starting point a fundamental historical observation: there is not just one model of integrality but as many models as there are priests in the Church. Continue reading »

How can we reread the story of Martha and Mary (Lk. 10:38-42) from the perspective of apostolic mysticism? This episode, recounted only by Luke, has been interpreted in different ways, which often place the two sisters in opposition to each other: Martha as an example of the active life, and Mary of the contemplative life. But the question seems to be more radical. Continue reading »

Mercoledì della XXIII settimana (7 settembre 2016)

«Crediamo e perciò comunichiamo». Solo il fuoco che accende il cuore e che apre la strada alla fede nel Risorto ci permette di riversare la nostra gioia sul mondo attraverso il carisma datoci in eredità. Continue reading »
