First Sunday of Lent (March 13, 2011)

'... DO NOT live by bread alone man "!

Lent begins with the invitation to conversion for all Christians so that they become traveling companions for the catechumens elected to the sacraments of Christian initiation. The journey to Easter begins with the story of the fall of our first parents, caught in the net of the devil who seduces them with false appeals. To their miserable fate, which marks the final man with original sin, is opposed to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only one who can fight and defeat Satan to free every man from sin's power.

The Gospel presents Jesus Christ in the desert, beset by claims of the opponent, but strong and ready to respond with the word of God to the temptation. These represent a typical tale of action of the devil who offers the temptation of the desire of the bread, the superstition that God wants to use the temptation to throw himself from the proposal and of power.

The Gospel tells these three temptations, however, sum up the whole act of Satan, which aims to turn away from God's response to Jesus culminates in the statement: "Worship the Lord your God ..." . In this conversion we are invited in this time of grace ..

Ash Wednesday (March 9, 2011)

WE START TO A TRUE WAY OF CONVERSION

The celebration of the Ashes us into the Lenten journey towards Easter. It is a time of prayer, penance and reflection.

The Gospel of Matthew that is being proposed Calls to do good works. It pushes everyone to be next for the brothers to donate time, space, words, goods to those encountered in our journey.

But in addition to listing a series of works of charity, the Gospel passage shows how to perform them. Beginning with the discretion, by simplicity, by shunning any sort of advertising or self-congratulation. It is the virtue of humility required to do charity, not the glory or pride to be able to do good.

The main goal is to never ever hurt the person receiving good, not to make her feel uncomfortable. So in prayer. It must be confident, steady, but concrete.

The Lord knows our needs and is ready to help. You only need to put in the provision of waiting around for him like grace and to consider that may not immediately grant the request in view of the greater good ..

ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time (March 6, 2011) VIII

NOT ANYONE SAYS: "Lord, Lord ..."

Faith is the foundation of every relationship with God

I Jesus' contemporaries had the grace to see and to meet him in person, but how many of them were known to have before the Son of God? The coherence of life with what we believe is not always easy.

The Gospel of Matthew that is proposed to us this Sunday is essentially an invitation not only to have faith, but to transform it in the works. The Gospel says that those who knocked the kingdom of heaven calling upon the Lord will not come if they have not completed the works.

faith must be translated into concrete actions and not just theory or simple belief in God will say: but they had faith. Yes, but what kind of faith? What remains a dead letter in the human heart or the one that opens and bet everything on Christ and becomes a gift to others? Is not this the meaning of the evangelical comparison of the wise man who built his house upon a rock, against which any weather breaks? The risk is to be like the foolish men who founded the house on the ephemeral, exposing it to danger.
