Don From Covolo told us things are true, but ... in my opinion, I think in situations that we are in the community is still "winter" to sow the seed of holiness: I will try to reflect on why ...
Don From Covolo told us things are true, but ... in my opinion, I think in situations that we are in the community is still "winter" to sow the seed of holiness: I will try to reflect on why ...
I hope not to make statements against the "dogmatic truths," but ... I think what I say, at least for me, is important. I am convinced that we can not strive towards holiness if we neglect the human and relational dimension of our community life and our interpersonal relationships. "Before we must be holy men"
My reflection rotates back to WHY? There are so many because I do not understand ... are inconsistencies, ambitions unnecessary, obsolete forms of management, attitudes that undermine the spirit of family ...
I-LOOK ON OUR REALITY: the word God's not fall into an existential void.
We commit ourselves to live every Thursday and to celebrate "Community Day" (Thursday we were even some "unfaithful" to the Lenten fast), and, in this point I wonder: Why all this ? And I ask this question:
- celebrate truly a living reality of the community or is it just a pious intention?
- Our spiritual life is an expression of our fraternal life?
- Our fraternal life is the prolongation of our spiritual life?
- There are some distortions between these two dimensions?
II-COMPARISON WITH THE WORD: (John 5, 31-47)
This gospel passage is part of Chapter 5 is told where the presence of Jesus in Jerusalem (the city that represents the Temple Worship and the Law). Jesus heals a sick man in his Saturday and goes against the requirements of the law of the Jews. This Jesus is a sign that "the person" is central to its mission and not the law nor the rules. By doing this, Jesus reveals the falsity of the Pharisees.
because the gospel of John puts it in his mouth 10 times the word JESUS \u200b\u200bWITNESS: (17 verses) mica that is a coincidence ...
- 5 times in relation to another: Giovanni Batista
- 2 is sometimes referred Jesus himself
- 2 times the work to be done
- 1 time in God the Father
- 1 time Writing
from these references that the Gospel may be assumed that the personal and community witness has to do with:
- what others say about us: report alterity
- what we think of being: personal integrity
- we have to do: dedication to our commitment
- what God asks of us: obedience to the will divine
- what the Bible tells us every day: personal discernment
I should note that only refers to the relationships. Jesus says to the Jews: "You do not want to come to me for life, because: you do not have in the love of God."
Listening to the voice of God the Father, "is mediated, ie, passes through the voice of another (John). Therefore, to understand deeply the Word, not just the logical intelligence, but most need of opening hearts and minds relational
His mother told him: "Son, why have you done this? Here is your father and I, looking for you anxiously ... "
St. Joseph was called the" Holy of silence. " In the Gospel is not his words, we know his figure for his work, his attitudes, the expression of his love, his role as protector, guide, and responsible father and always present in his family.
The silence of St. Joseph is not an expression of complexity, distrust or timidity. His silence was perhaps the richest in a relational skills wise and authoritative guide, because he was able to assume the role of an active listener. His silence is a silence with respect for others, a silence which is the expression of a person who knows how to measure his words carefully and wisely.
"St. Joseph was an authoritative guide because he was able to relate actively listening"
So ... at this point I would add one other thing: to hear God's voice in the voice of others, it takes the emotional or relational intelligence.
In other words , we must be able to interpret reality from the perspective of others, have the ability to put ourselves in the situation of the other. This means compassion: to suffer with others. This is proof that Jesus spoke about and showed us in his life.
I think the human dimension of the witness through the good relationship with others, which is expressed: in the way we treat people, in the style of communication that we establish, in the form of managing a group of people and an institution.
III-PERSONAL AND COMMUNITY CHALLENGE
In this season of Lent we are invited to listen to the voice of God is the VOICE of the brethren to continue and bring to a successful conversion of our journey ... (so the preacher told us last week), this is true ... but
I think there is still insufficient because connotes (to me) a spiritual dualism, especially since there is a risk of underestimating the voice of others (brothers) and give more importance to a disembodied spirituality.
we must listen to the voice of God in the voice of others, that the voices of the members (this is for us a duty of community life) (what does not is reduced only to the words ... but also to non-verbal language .. and above all the language prosemico)
finish : Quote of the words: Don Pietro Brocardo in his book, "Don Bosco man deeply, deeply holy"
"Don Bosco is a saint because he lived deeply human dimension. He was a heavenly sign that radiates light with his being, with what he does and what he says. "
