IL SANTO PADRE PAPA FRANCESCO
INVOCA A TUTTI DI ESSERE PORTATORI DI PACE IN QUESTO
NUOVO ANNO E DICE “NON PIU’ GUERRE MA SOLO PACE”
Dal nostro DIACONO DANTE COLANDREA
Riflessione del mese di gennaio
AMATE I VOSTRI NEMICI
(Martin Luther King, La forza di amare)
Ai nostri più accaniti oppositori, noi diciamo:
Noi faremo fronte alla vostra capacità di infliggere
sofferenze con la nostra capacità di sopportare le
sofferenze; andremo incontro alla vostra forza fisica
con la nostra forza d'animo.
Fateci quello che volete, e noi continueremo ad
amarvi. Noi non possiamo, in buona coscienza,
obbedire alle vostre leggi ingiuste, perché la noncooperazione col male è un obbligo morale non meno
della cooperazione col bene.
Metteteci in prigione, e noi vi ameremo ancora.
Lanciate bombe sulle nostre case e minacciate i nostri
figli, e noi vi ameremo ancora.
Mandate i vostri incappucciati sicari nelle nostre case,
nell'ora di mezzanotte, batteteci e lasciateci mezzi
morti, e noi vi ameremo ancora.
Ma siate sicuri che vi vinceremo con la nostra
capacità di soffrire. Un giorno, noi conquisteremo la
libertà, ma non solo per noi stessi: faremo talmente
appello al vostro cuore ed alla vostra coscienza che
alla lunga conquisteremo voi, e la nostra vittoria sarà
una duplice vittoria.
“L’angolo della Sapienza”
CREDO NEL SOLE ANCHE QUANDO NON
SPLENDE
(Un'ebrea perseguitata dal nazismo)
Credo nel sole, anche quando non splende; credo
nell'amore, anche quando non lo sento; credo in Dio,
anche quando tace.

serata di compagnia e divertimento.
OGGI LA CHIESA CELEBRA IL BATTESIMO DEL
SIGNORE - L’evangelista Marco racconta il battesimo
di Gesù. Per lui, tutto ha inizio col battesimo di Gesù.
Comincia
una
nuova
era,
una
creazione
assolutamente nuova. Il Creatore prende il posto della
creatura. Il Salvatore scende nel Giordano come un
peccatore, il giudice di questo mondo fa la parte di un
nuovo Adamo. Gesù esce dall’acqua e intraprende la
propria missione, come all’inizio l’uomo fu plasmato dal
fango, mentre un flutto risaliva dalla terra e bagnava la
superficie del suolo (Gen 2,6). Gesù riceve lo Spirito
Santo come già un tempo: “Dio... soffiò nelle sue narici
un alito di vita” (Gen 2,7).
E Gesù, secondo Marco, diviene l’uomo nuovo, proprio
come di Adamo si dice: “E l’uomo divenne un essere
vivente” (Gen 2,7). L’umanità ricomincia allora, col
battesimo di Gesù, su basi nuove. Dovrà ancora
passare attraverso l’esperienza della morte ed entrare
quindi nella gloria della risurrezione. Dovrà ancora, e
deve tuttora, trasformarsi lentamente in ogni uomo,
aspettando il giorno in cui “vedranno il Figlio dell’uomo
venire sulle nubi... Ed egli... riunirà i suoi eletti dai
quattro venti, dall’estremità della terra fino all’estremità
del cielo” (Mc 13,26-27). Allora non ci sarà più
battesimo (At 21,23-27).
Monsignore Cassato e tutti dell’ufficio parrocchiale
ringraziano quelli che hanno reso il nostro Natale,
e Capodanno un’evento particolare Sant’Atanasio.
 A tutti quelli che erano presenti a Messa – Grazie.
 A tutti quelli che hanno decorato la Chiesa, hanno
aiutato con musica e inni, che hanno preparato i
bambini per le nostre celebrazioni – Grazie.
 A tutti quelli che hanno servito la chiesa come
lettori, ministri, uscieri, chierichetti e sacrestani –
Grazie.
 A tutti quelli che hanno preparato la Liturgia, che
hanno donato fiori e decorazioni – Grazie.
 A tutti quelli che hanno preparato i tre presepi, gli
alberi di Natale, le luci e a tutti quelli che hanno donato
un’albero in memoria di persona cara – Grazie.
 A tutti quelli che hanno “acceso le luci di
Bensonhurst” – Grazie.
 E a TE che sei con noi nel nostro cammino con il
Signore, come i Magi trovarono e adorarono Gesu’, la
nostra preghiera e’ che tutti noi continuiamo a cercare
Cristo nella nostra vita.

FIESTA DEL BAUTISMO DEL SEÑOR
A veces se dice que Juan Bautista fue el precursor
del Mesías;el mensajero de Dios para traer la
Buena noticia al pueblo escogido acerca del hijo
de Dios que estaba entre ellos. Juan dijo que el no
era sino la voz que gritaba en el desierto , para exhortar al pueblo a preparar el camino para el que
venía detrás de el . Quería dejar claro que la
gente no debia fijarse en él sino buscar al que era
mas eminente y digno. No merezco ni siquiera inclinarme para desatarle la
correa de sus sandalias. No cabe duda que Juan se consideraba su servidor.
Tanto Jesús como Juan se consideraban servidores de Dios, con la misión de
servir al pueblo de Dios escogido.
Cuando Jesús lavó los pies a los discipulos , dijo a los doce que ellos debían ir y
hacer lo mismo , en otras palabras , seguir su ejemplo de servicio. En otra
ocasión mencionó que cada uno tendría lugar en el Reino dependiendo de
como y cuanto hubiese servido a los demas.
Juan el Bautista reconoció la grandeza de Jesús y nosotros haríamos bien imitandolo en este sentido. No debemos olvidar nunca y ademas tenemos que reconocer la dignidad y la gloriosa majestad que le corresponde a Jesús como hijo
de Dios . El nos une asi mismo por medio del Espiritu Santo en el Bautismo,
para ser hermanos suyos e hijos de su Padre. El es quien nos brinda la vida y el
poder de Dios al Bautizarnos con el Espiritu Santo.
