FIRST READING
49.14-15 Is

PSALM
RESPONSORIAL

By Sal

rests in God alone my soul.
rests in God alone my soul:
him my salvation.
Him alone is my rock and my salvation,
my defense I will never waver.

rests in God alone my soul: he

In God is my salvation and my glory;
my safe haven, my refuge is in God
Trust in him, or people, at all times;
before him, open your heart.
SECOND READING
1 Cor 4.1 to 5
from the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians
Brothers, one should regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God now, what is required of stewards that they found trustworthy.
but I care very little about being judged by you or by a human court, indeed, I do not even judge myself, because even if they are not aware of any fault, why are not justified. My judge is the Lord!
so please do not judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then each receive from God the praise.
SINGING THE GOSPEL
Heb 4.12
Alleluia, alleluia.
The word of God is living and active,
discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Alleluia.

GOSPEL
6.24 to 34 Mt
From the Gospel according to Matthew
Then Jesus told his disciples:
"No one can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other or one and despise the other. You can not serve God and wealth.
Therefore I say unto you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, nor about your body, what you wear, maybe life is not worth more than food and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air neither sow nor reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Not much better than they are worth? And which of you, as you worry, can extend their lives even a little?
And the dress, why do you bother? Observe how the lilies of the field, not toil nor spin. Yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of them. Now, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will do much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat? What shall we drink? What shall we wear? ". Of all these things go in search of the pagans. Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need.
Instead, try, first, the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
not worry so tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its'.

OMELIA 1

Introduzione. La Parola di oggi ci esorta a non essere facili giudici degli altri e ad affidarci un pochino di più ai disegni della Provvidenza di Dio.
  1. Non essere facili giudici degli altri: “ Fratelli, non vogliate giudicare nulla prima del tempo, fino a quando il Signore verrà. Egli metterà in luce i segreti delle tenebre e manifesterà le intenzioni dei cuori> (2ª lettura).
S. Paolo ricorda ai fedeli della cristianità di Corinto, that in fact judgments:
a. Only the Lord is the task of judging the actions of others;
b. no one can replace God in judging others, the more that the Lord reserves to reward or condemn our actions, at the end of our lives.
Since the judge is among the most frequent activities of our intelligence, I think it is appropriate to mention some directions of travel, because our actions do not damage the field of justice and charity. Therefore:
  1. The assessment of human actions with significant socio-political as well as his own conscience, it is legally recognized human justice, which puts in atto in modo equo quel famoso “La legge è uguale per tutti”, scritto su tutti i tribunali dei comuni mortali. Certo in alcuni casi di dubbia correttezza dei giudici, non è da dimenticare quanto con ironia faceva osservare il grande Dostoevskij nell’affermare:< Se il giudice fosse giusto, forse il criminale non sarebbe colpevole>. (Da < I fratelli Karamazov>).
  2. Al riguardo delle azioni morali del prossimo, il Signore è perentorio nel dirci: < Non giudicate, per non essere giudicati, perché col giudizio con cui giudicate sarete giudicati. Perché osservi la pagliuzza nell’occhio del tuo fratello, mentre non ti accorgi della beam, in your own eye? " (Mt. 7.1 to 4). S. Paul, in very difficult times, writing to Christians in Rome is no exception: "But why dost thou judge thy brother? ... Each of us shall give account of himself to God "(Rom. 14.10 to 12).
Reflection.
From what we understand the Word of God, judging others is not an easy job, especially, that none of us has the authority and the meter just to wear the toga of impartial judges. He said our good
Alighieri, berating those who condemn those who died unbaptized and without faith: \u0026lt;Or who are you, you want to sit at the chair, to judge a thousand miles away, with the short vision of a span?> (Par. XIX, 79-81).
  1. trust a little more of the Providence of God, is the second message of today's liturgy.
"Do not worry by saying: What shall we eat? What shall we drink? What to wear? Of these things go in search of the pagans. Your heavenly Father knows that you need. Instead you seek the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added to you ". (3 rd reading)
This exhortation of the Lord leaves no doubt: but in this respect, it should ask two questions:
  1. What we mean by Divine Providence?
A brief overview of the problem throughout history, helps us to better understand its importance. Among the ancient Greeks, we recognized an intrinsic order to the cosmos. Plato and Sophocles conceive the universe as a unified body of "soul of the world." Historians
with Seneca, Cicero and Chrysippus, are a step forward in recognizing a vague "Providence" contained within the same world, but do not leave room for human freedom, which has to resign before the pain and death.
In the Old Testament, the concept of Providence is manifested by the numerous interventions of God in favor of sensational del popolo di Israele.
Nel Nuovo Testamento, la fede nella trascendenza della Provvidenza di Dio, trova la sua piena manifestazione nella Persona del Signore Gesù; manifestazione che trova il suo culmine nella preghiera del Padre Nostro e nel brano del Vangelo di oggi.
I Padri della Chiesa confermano la dottrina della Provvidenza contro gli errori del loro tempo, come il fatalismo, il manicheismo, lo gnosticismo ecc.
Il Magistero della Chiesa infine, definendo la trascendenza di Dio nel Concilio Vaticano I, afferma decisamente la realtà della Provvidenza contro i moderni errori del pessimismo pagano, del deismo e del materialismo. (cfr. Conc. Vat. 1° DS n.3003).
Da tutto questo che possiamo dedurre? Una sola convinzione: Dio è Padre Provvidente, che non abbandona mai nessuno dei suoi figli.
Un proverbio cinese recita:< Quando la notte è così buia, che non riesci a scorgere il tuo naso, sii certo, l’alba è molto vicina>.
  1. Quali i motivi per i quali dobbiamo fidarci di più della Provvidenza? Due motivi:
  2. Metafisico: dal momento, che siamo creature limitate e imperfette, abbiamo sempre bisogno di  è Tutto e possiede tutto: Dio.
  3. Teologico: per il fatto, che per natura siamo stati creati ad immagine e somiglianza di Dio e per la grazia del Battesimo siamo diventati suoi figli adottivi, Egli, che è Padre, con le premure di un’amorevole mother will not miss anything than is necessary for our material and spiritual welfare.
Reflection.
\u0026lt;Today - wrote a famous Parisian psychoanalyst, philosopher and theologian, Maurice Bellet - we face the collapse of hope. But know that Christianity is a bearer of hope, which transcends all discouragement and despair because it is rooted on the Resurrection of Christ and the Providence of God requires believers to proclaim the man of our time, the "no resignation" >. (Maurice Bellet)
  1. With what dispositions we must rely on God's providence?
Risposta. Con l’intenzione di:
  1. Cercare prima il Regno di Dio e quanto Egli esige dai suoi figli.
  2. Non fare troppo affidamento sulle cose di questo mondo.
  3. Non attaccare troppo il nostro cuore al denaro, perché, dice S. Paolo: “ L’avidità dei soldi, è la radice di tutti i mali”. (1° Tim. 6,10).
Riflessione.
Perciò,  “ Non preoccupatevi del domani – dice il Signore – perché a ciascun giorno basta la sua pena” , < E quando sei nella prova – ci assicura S. Agostino – pensa, che ne uscirai, perché God is faithful and provident>.

HOMILY 2

What does it matter ... well, who what?
Not infrequently it happens that in the above dialogue with young people (maybe more or less close to the wedding) automatically cues the question: But when you get married? And if "some details" are not yet ready, click the reply: "but we have not yet home, not a stable job! Then, in times like these, how do I get the (many, unfortunately) things we need to make a family? ". And so on, with answers like this (to me quite obvious, in fact, given the times we live and the society in which we live). In the same way then, maybe this time with the young couples, it happens with the discourse on children. "But if we did not put anything aside, how are we going? And then, 'I'm the son might be a bit' wait until we find a balance. "
not unusual at this point, I move the discussion forward and say: "But where is God in this thy / your history ? Believe in God? Believe in his attention to you? ". And here, many times, the answer-question: "So what? Of course I believe. " "Oh yeah?" I say.
And only one of many life situations that could lead to illustrate a reading of the society in which we live (I stress, is not all that much but certainly are those who make their accounts not to put in God). We live in a historical context where the calculations are prevalent, where projects and techniques to gain (= means of ensuring a future, according to our calculations, sure) more innovative and more efficient. And they could demonstrate that we have not achieved even the little faith that it would take to work miracles in our lives. God is not far from our lives. God has not forgotten about us and our lives. In fact, God wants to be in our lives, just as it is, he wants to be part of our calculations and make them her.
The gospel is proposed to us this Sunday aims to be an examination of clear, transparent, the authenticity of our faith in God because if we really believe in God, all our calculations should at least lose that tension, that cause us concern. And this happens only and only because they are our calculations, which, despite being highly-facts, are and will remain human calculations that can never anticipate everything. And maybe because they do not capture all human and why, for that produce all this uncertainty and concern. Our view is often very close if our eyes are not "placed" behind the eyes of God if we only see life with our eyes, we can hardly see life and the world as they really are.
A Chinese proverb says that in order to enjoy the beauty of a field with multi-colored flowers also need to know to retreat up the hill closer to the field and watch it from there. Turning to our case, even Jesus, the mountain where his speech is emblematic, retrieve, or better, makes you awaken our ability to see, "Look at the birds ... look at the lilies," to say "be smart and see with your eyes that in everything around you is no God ... God got to do What! Will always be an objective fact that birds do not sow, nor gather, yet never die of hunger, and that the lilies (and all the flowers) are so "well dressed" no "fashion house" will never be able to match.
We are therefore faced with a challenge that allows us to learn not so much to be pre-Videntia us, how to trust Providence. So, not our pre-security scheme, as the pro-security scheme providence of God this is not is learned from books or speeches of others (ie, not from mine), because from his experience. Meanwhile, from the things around us (the world, the genuine, where signs abound of God), the life of the people we meet ... the life that is renewed every morning. Then, you will permit me to invite everyone to "climb" the mountain, that is to say stop for a moment to see so many signs of God's presence in our lives ... a real presence.
Why God has to do with our lives! And blessed is he who can to see that God is the "who got to do" and then chose him as the prime determinants of "calculations" that fits their lives. So, we leave it to the foresight of Providence to lead our lives. We can do it, because God comes to our aid.
We ask today for us and for everyone the gift of little faith, faith that makes God into our lives and that allows him to make miracles. What?

penitential rite
Anthem input of today's liturgy is an invitation to abandon ourselves into the hands of the Lord, because He alone is our support, and only him as an expert navigator, can lead us to the port of eternal salvation, including the troubled waters of our world. Therefore, when we prepare to relive the mystery of Easter joy, humbly acknowledge our sins before Him, to offer a sincere and repentant heart.
PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL
to our Father Benevolent and Provident entrust with confidence to our prayers, because the plays and make them effective for us and all our brothers. Please say: Hear, O Lord!
* For the Pope, bishops, ministers of the Church, so that they can be generous witness to the providence of God, who does not abandon the children and the needy ... please. "
* for governments of nations, to administer impartial justice to their people and to provide for basic needs especially the poor ... please.
* Why We believe we learn to see more and more in their good sides, the court reserved to God for their actions moral ... please.
* For all our suffering brothers and abandoned in so-called "retirement homes" because they do not lose their trust in Providence comfort of the Lord ... please.
* For all victims of hatred, violence and wars and all those who have crossed the threshold of eternity, they may find comfort and rest in the arms of God's Providence ... Please

FOR MEDITATION
After communion


Lord, make me an instrument of peace

For where hatred, let me sow love, where is the
offense, let me sow pardon.
Where is discord, union,
what is wrong, let me bring truth.
Where is doubt, let me sow faith, where
despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, let me bring light, where
sadness, joy,
where malice, overridden by the purity of heart

Some Pharisees came, and to test him, asked Jesus if it is lawful for a man to divorce his wife. But he answered them, "What did Moses command you?". They said: Moses has permission to write a certificate of divorce and divorce. "
Jesus said to them: "For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. But the beginning of creation [God] made them male and female, for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and cleaves to his wife and two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. So the man does not divide what God has joined together. "
At home, the disciples asked him again about this topic. He said to them: 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her and if she divorces her husband and marries another woman commits adultery. "

GOSPEL

5.38 to 38 Mt


From the Gospel according to Matthew

At that time, Jesus said to his disciples:
"You have heard it said:" An eye for eye, tooth for tooth. " But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but if one slaps you on the right cheek, you turn to him the other also, and those who want to take you to court and take your tunic, let him have your coat. And whosoever shall compel thee to go with him for a mile, go with him to let two. From 'who asks you, and who want to borrow not turn your back.
You have heard that it was said: "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy." But I say unto you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that ye may be sons of your Father in heaven, he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. In fact, if you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even the publicans? And if you greet your brethren only, what are you doing than others? Do not even pagans? You, therefore, be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. "

Homily (Mary's assistant)

many years teaching mathematics at a school near Florence. As a teacher I tend to give many exercises to do at home, in the belief that after the teacher's explanation, nothing can be as useful as the individual exercise and the comparison with the skills acquired. There
one of my student, which to me is very nice, there are (as they say here) Gaia that when I say the fateful words "take and write the diary for the day that such exercise of tot and tot de page that is", he turns to mates with a wink and says, with classic juvenile-jargon Tuscan
"That weighed!"
And I pretend not to hear, even if I smile to myself.
understand at the end of my discussion today because I mentioned this episode.

Let's start with three verses that we heard in today's liturgy:
"You, therefore, be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect" so ends the Gospel proclaimed today. But even in Letture abbiamo udito le seguenti parole:
Parla a tutta la comunità degli Israeliti dicendo loro: “Siate santi, perché io, il Signore, vostro Dio, sono santo.” “Perché santo è il tempio di Dio, che siete voi”
Se ne evince un concetto: i cristiani per essere tali devono camminare verso la Santità.
Volutamente scrivo cristiani e non “buoni cristiani” perché mi sembra che siano comportamenti che il Signore ci indica come irrinunciabili.
Ripensando a queste parole mi è rivenuto in mente un libro che ho avuto modo di leggere qualche anno fa “L’essenza del cristianesimo” di Romano Guardini che visualizza i fondamenti del cristianesimo compared to other religions. A beautiful and interesting book that if you have not done, please read ...
The Gospel proclaimed today shows us in what the Christian should be different from other people. Not enough to be good people, solidarity, ethical, morally "right" to be disciples of Christ (there are no Christians who are sometimes much more ethical practitioners of Christians, I have personally had the experience). In fact, his voice takes us through the ages (marvels of the word still alive!) saying "For if you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even the publicans? And if you greet your brethren only, which What are you doing than others? Do not even pagans? "
The Christian must have something more: the consapevolezzache the God proclaimed by Jesus is the God of love and not just to justice. It 'a God of mercy, which asks us to experience firsthand the love of the brethren. Let us now
passage from the Gospel proclaimed today, in this Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time.
The liturgy of this last period has given us to read the entire fifth chapter of Matthew's Gospel, in fact we heard a reading from January 30 to today.
This chapter, which begins with the proclamation of the beatitudes, continues with the call of Jesus his disciples to be "the salt of the earth" and show what are the concrete forms for the following explained by a continuous parallel between the Old and New Testaments, just evangelist Matthew, who as we know, most of the other evangelists brings a message of continuity between Israel and the Messiah, Jesus
If we read Chapter 5 in the light of the above, we consider two plans, which as a common thread through all the paragraphs that compose it.
The first floor is the identity of Jesus, who tells her (and us through the generations) "I am the Messiah, the one that Israel was waiting, in me fulfill the promises of God and I promise the Kingdom of Heaven. "All in agreement and fulfillment of promises made by God to Israel. Verbatim in verse 17 Jesus says: " not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets: I am not come to abolish them but to fulfill " (Matthew 5:17)
The second floor has to do with our personal identity in the face of his, identified and recognized, as he's got the proposal.
Because if we accept and believe that He is Lord, then, we therefore decide to play the role of the disciple, and we must therefore understand what are the consequences.
The disciple is one who according to the instructions of God in Christ becomes aware that si incarna il compimento del progetto divino ed aderisce di ad un’esistenza nuova delineata in tutto il Vangelo, ma in maniera molto più approfondita in questo quinto capitolo di Matteo, che vi consiglio di rileggere nel suo complesso.
Oggi consideriamo quindi i dieci versetti che abbiamo udito proclamare durante la Messa: dal versetto 38 al versetto 48.
Dopo l’ incipit del brano proposto dalla Liturgia odierna “in quel tempo” per staccare il brano dal contesto.
Da una lettura trasversale e rapida del Vangelo di oggi possiamo individuare alcuni comportamenti che dobbiamo fare nostri e precisamente:

- non serbare rancore, anzi se sei offeso dai di più (il “famoso” porgi l’altra guancia), impara a perdonare
- dai sempre di più di quanto ti è richiesto
- agisci di più
- sii presenza nella vita di coloro che Dio mette sulla tua strada.
Ognuno di noi sa nel suo cuore come si pone davanti a queste indicazioni; mi limiterò quindi a proporre uno spunto di riflessione parlando del tema del perdono e lasciando alla riflessione personale gli altri temi .
Gesù dice ai suoi che con la Sua presenza si instaura un’ottica nuova, non più la legge del taglione: Avete inteso che fu detto: “Occhio per occhio e dente per dente”( sancita in Esodo 21-24) ma una nuova legge, quella dell’amore caritatevole (ma io vi dico di non opporvi al malvagio; anzi se uno ti percuote la guancia destra, tu porgigli anche l'altra; Matteo 5, 39 ).
Per definire il perdono vorrei partire da due episodi che, per me, sono stati motivi di riflessione per poi cercare di visualizzarne meglio il concetto. Se penso ad un episodio che mi ha fatto pensare cosa non è il perdono citerei un evento che ho visto in televisione. Recentemente ad un telegiornale intervistavano una persona a cui era stato ucciso un famigliare (con questa pessima abitudine “voyeuristica” di dare in pasto agli spettatori le emozioni ed i sentimenti di chiunque sia protagonista di un fatto di cronaca, senza il minimo rispetto per la dignità della persona che, magari, at that time would be entitled to a dimension of privacy). So the newspaper aims to tell all the costs to the respondent who forgives, and as dazed and confused by this person did not make even good pain, the journalist insisted, "You forgive the killers of his son? forgive them? Decide to forgive? "Repeating these words in the obsessively, while the poor who still did not understand in that situation was personal and public, with glazed eyes staring at the camera, in which the journalist triumphantly, and without shame, began to scream" The Mrs. granted forgiveness! "And then pay the fair result" laugh line in the study. " Do not believe it!
Certainly forgiveness is not torn to make a statement show, not a "show", it is not just a statement without foundation
E 'something intimate, deep, thoughtful, wanted is a symptom of something that permeates the 'heart and soul. This is true even for those who do not believe in Christ. But is not that Christians have the exclusivity of forgiveness! There are many people able to forgive the wrongs among humans. But the Christian perspective should be a bit 'different.
In this regard, I quote the second episode that made me think long and consistently on forgiveness. It is a
episode many years ago that struck me very much and I think that affected the public at the time. It refers to the years of my youth, between 1977 and 1980.
Italy had just experienced "years of lead" and the abduction and kidnapping of Aldo Moro and was a country torn with deep wounds, for people like me, lived in Rome, were tangible dramatically. We were a young idealist, full of values, boys often different from each other and divided by their "belief", which had witnessed so much violence and too many funerals.
In 1980, when it seemed to have some heavy weather calmed Vittorio Bachelet at the end of a lecture at La Sapienza University, was killed. Vittorio Bachelet era docente alla facoltà di Scienze Politiche, e persona nota come persona di grande levatura morale. Venne ucciso nella sua facoltà mentre conversava con la sua assistente Rosy Bindi. Di questo delitto mi fece molta impressione intanto, il frantumarsi del quadro di normalità, la violenza gratuita che riportava indietro un Paese che con fatica ritrovava un equilibrio.
Ma ancora di più fece impressione a me, e credo a tutti, la commovente testimonianza di fede cristiana del figlio Giovanni che ritrovate raccontata in queste righe:
“Se è difficile ricordare quel clima, quasi impossibile è rivivere l’emozione (non dirò della morte, che tutti conoscono) ma quella creatasi ai funerali Vittorio Bachelet, 14 February 1980, two days after his assassination at the University of Rome, where he taught. Bachelet, vice president of the Superior Council of Magistracy and especially known for having been for many years at the top of the Italian Catholic, was highly respected throughout the country. In the great church of St. Robert Bellarmine, reinforced, were all the state authorities, representatives of all institutions crying next to ordinary citizens and young people. Was celebrated by Cardinal Poletti, President of CEI. Live TV throughout Italy could see, the prayer of the faithful, a young-faced stranger who climbed the altar. It was John, the son of 24 years, returned quickly from the United States. He said: "We pray for our President Sandro Pertini, Francesco Cossiga, to our leaders, for all judges, for all the police, the police, the prison guards, how many different responsibilities in today's society, parliament, the streets are still at the forefront of the struggle for democracy with courage and love. Let us pray also for those who have hit my dad because, without sacrificing justice must triumph, our mouths there is always forgiveness and revenge ever, still life and never requested the death of others, "The family
Bachelet, not only in this episode but also in other (if you want to know I suggest you read more http://62.77.63.181/C_impegnoeducativo_it/Upload/9f904615-53df-45a2-ad1d-9e8c2843b942.pdf) gave us a testimony of what is meant by Christian forgiveness.
then I would say that Christian forgiveness is the realization that everything is part of a project that is of God and forgiveness may be adherence to the will of one who is bigger than us and to which everything must be brought back, trying to reach a goal. I talk about goal, because it truly is difficult to forgive and calls for the holy.
not forgive words, we said, but with the mind, heart and subsequently in the facts.
And then get there only if you have a new heart and a head from a free person. Come dice San Paolo nella liturgia odierna “la sapienza di questo mondo è stoltezza davanti a Dio” e poi ” Quindi nessuno ponga il suo vanto negli uomini, perché tutto è vostro: Paolo, Apollo, Cefa, il mondo, la vita, la morte, il presente, il futuro: tutto è vostro! Ma voi siete di Cristo e Cristo è di Dio
Cuore e testa di chi si sente di appartenere a Dio e solo a Lui, di chi non risponde alle logiche predominanti della società, di chi sa proporre la logica diversa perché la vita sa assumere un altro significato
Forse si può arrivare a perdonare perché di persona abbiamo toccato con mano il perdono del Padre misericordioso, che nonostante our shortcomings, our miseries, our sin, gives us his forgiveness every time we are sincerely sorry: sharing our human condition that has given us, through the Church, gave the sacraments that unite us to Him and to others.
Perhaps you may be able to forgive because our soul is a blessing, because as the Psalm says that we understand and we have introjected " Merciful and gracious is the Lord, slow to anger, abounding in love. Do not treat us according to our sins nor repay us according to our iniquities " and this makes us men and women different.
Perhaps you may be able to forgive by looking to the Cross where the centuries riecheggia la preghiera : “ Padre, perdonali, perché non sanno quello che fanno ”.
Dalla croce Cristo riesce a pregare per coloro che l’hanno messo a morte in maniera ignominiosa, dopo che ha patito il tradimento, la solitudine, la tortura, l’umiliazione il dolore fisico, l’agonia e la morte .
Dalla Croce Egli da testimonianza del perdono, follia agli occhi degli uomini, gradito a Dio .
Ci insegna che per i nostri nemici possiamo pregare, perché non sappiamo che effetto questo può avere, ma è un atto di quell’amore che Gesù ci insegna ed è un atto che modifica anche e sopratutto il nostro sentire. Perché nel pregare per loro riconosciamo which are, like us, children of God then we get to be part of a human family that is dear to us and inbred, regardless of our feelings because it's our knowledge that God loves everyone equally and that "(he ) makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. "
go back to Gaia, the student I mentioned initially. If we read the Gospel passage today, established by the presence of Christ, Christian lives of many credible witnesses, such as Gaia winks and you say "that weighed" other words that commitment! What rules of life gives us hard this Gospel passage, or even right, but as nice you? It 's impossible.
But looking to the Cross, we get all the answers, all the freedom that only Christ can give us, and step by step, day after day in an apprenticeship that is continuous: the ability to forgive.
We pray that the Lord will help us in this journey of conversion.
To him who he was, is and that is, all honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen

penitential rite

* Lord, if we can not forgive and be worthy of you that you showed us the meaning of forgiveness on the Cross, have mercy on us: Lord have mercy!

* Christ often lose the meaning of life, ignoring our brothers, but bending our wills to have mercy on us Christ, have mercy!

* Lord, you teach us our freedom from slavery and our sins, save us, come and save us and have mercy on us: Lord have mercy!

PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL

* Lord, teach us to pray for our enemies to love you too in them, we pray:

* Lord, make us free men in the hearts and ideas, we pray:

* Lord, help us to change our hearts, to turn our direction in life that You've given us, and we please:

* Lord, that our life has not only the narrow sense of our small groups, our friendships, of a world that revolves only around us but teach us to have a heart that is truly open to all; we pray:

* Lord, help us to understand that the Kingdom starts on earth and send us to proclaim to everyone we meet that the kingdom will be fulfilled only in you, we pray:

* For your church: it is always an expression of your freedom and the bearer of forgiveness, we pray.
