SI RINGRAZIA TUTTI COLORO CHE HANNO PARTECIPATO
ALLA PROCESSIONE ANNUALE DEL VENERDI’ SANTO
DELLE NOVE PARROCCHIE VICINANTI.SPERIAMO DI RIVEDERVI TUTTI IL PROSSIMO ANNO
Dal nostro DIACONO DANTE COLANDREA
Riflessione del mese di aprile
SENZA VEDERE
Cos'hai provato Maria quando la Maddalena ti ha detto di
aver visto Gesù nel giardino?
E quando Pietro e Giovanni vennero a te, correndo, per
raccontarti come avevano visto la tomba vuota?
Cos'è capitato in quel giorno?
Cosa significa credere che Cristo è risorto dai morti?
E tu l'hai rivisto in quei giorni?
Perché il Vangelo non parla di te?
Ed eri la più interessata. Perché non è apparso a te?
Quanto mi ha fatto pensare questo silenzio del Vangelo!
O che Gesù voleva accennare a te quando disse a
Tommaso: "Beati quelli che pur non avendo visto
crederanno"?
Forse tu eri l'unica che non aveva bisogno di vedere per
credere?
Ed eri beata. Io penso di sì. Ed è per questo che sei la
nostra maestra nella fede e la lode di Elisabetta fin da
principio fu la più grande lode che ti si poteva fare.
"Beata te che hai creduto".
Tu non avevi bisogno di vedere per credere.
Tu credevi al tuo Figlio Risorto e ti ba stava.
Credere alla Resurrezione di Gesù significa credere
senza vedere.
E anche io voglio credere senza vedere: come te. L'unica
cosa seria è la fede.
Ed è per fede che io credo alla Resurrezione di Cristo.
E quando credo sono invincibile: "Questa è la vittoria che
vince il mondo: la nostra fede".
”L’angolo della Sapienza”
LA GOCCIA E L'OCEANO (Elizabeth Gilbert)
Tutti sanno che la goccia diventa una cosa sola con
l'oceano, ma non tutti sanno che l'oceano diventa una
cosa sola con la goccia.

DUE ORECCHIE E UNA LINGUA
(San Bernardino da Siena)
Dio ti ha dato due orecchie e una lingua,
perché tu oda più che tu non parli.

uomini se prima non regna nel cuore di ciascuno di loro.

La devoción de la Divina Misericordia se comenzó a esparcir por el mundo entero a partir del diario
de una joven monja polaca en 1930. El mensaje no es nada nuevo, pero nos recuerda lo que la Iglesia siempre ha enseñado por medio de las Sagradas Escrituras y la tradición: que Dios es
misericordioso y que perdona y que nosotros también debemos ser misericordiosos y debemos
perdonar. Pero en la devoción a la Divina Misericordia este mensaje toma un enfoque poderoso que
llama a las personas a un entendimiento más profundo sobre el Amor ilimitado de Dios y la disponibilidad de este Amor a todos especialmente a los más pecadores. El mensaje y la devoción a
Jesús como la Divina Misericordia esta basada en los escritos de la Santa María Faustina
Kowalska, una monja polaca sin educación básica que en obediencia a su director espiritual escribió un
diario de alrededor de 600 páginas que relatan las revelaciones que ella recibió sobre la Misericordia de Dios. Aún antes de su muerte en 1938 se comenzó a esparcir la devoción a la
El mensaje de Misericordia es que Dios nos Ama a todos no importa cuan grande sean nuestras
faltas. Él quiere que reconozcamos que Su Misericordia es más grande que nuestros pecados, para
que nos acerquemos a Él con confianza, para que recibamos su Misericordia y la dejemos
derramar sobre otros. De tal manera de que todos participemos de Su Gozo.
Confía completamente en Jesús ,El nos deja saber que las gracias de su Misericordia dependen
de nuestra confianza. Mientras más confiemos en Jesús, más recibiremos la gracia y misericordia
de Dios.
