THE EXCOMMUNICATED PRIEST ALESSANDRO MINUTELLA IS NOT IN COMMUNION WITH BENEDICT XVI WHO HAS DONE FREE ACT OF RENUNCIATION BUT IS A SUBJECT THAT CONFUSES THE PEOPLE OF GOD ALREADY LOST LOST AND CONFUSED

.

To the many readers who come to us They inquire about this priest excommunicated it is our priestly duty to answer that anyone who participates in his sacred celebrations and receives the sacraments from him falls into a state of mortal sin, and must seek absolution to the confessor, after having acknowledged his guilt and doing way not to repeat the same sin. But most of all, beyond lies of this heretic, schismatic, know that the first to pay tribute "unconditional obedience" to his successor was Benedict XVI himself.

Many Readers they ask for information on Alessandro Minutella, Palermo, a priest who barks on social network on the illegitimacy of the Supreme Pontiff Francis, which recognizes only the title of Cardinal and Archbishop Emeritus of Buenos Aires, but mostly he is turning to the sacred person of the Holiness of Our Lord unacceptable insults. At this priest, after repeated and unnecessary calls the Ecclesiastical Authority has imposed excommunication, although it would be more correct to say that he simply notified that following his heretical and schismatic positions, and its refusal to correct, he is automatically incurred the so-called excommunication automatic.

.

Although until now the Reverend Alexander Minutella he was not dismissed from the clerical state, after being suspended before peep, then later incurred excommunication, It can not legitimately exercise the sacred ministry. They know therefore that the faithful the sacred celebrations he officiated and the sacraments administered by him are valid but illicit and that no faithful Catholic can and must take part.

.

Faced with many requests arrived to our editorial staff, especially after recently this subject has much more exasperated his aggressive tone, it is our priestly duty to inform the large public of Readers who follow us that anyone who participates in sacred celebrations and receives the Sacraments from this excommunicated priest, It falls in a state of mortal sin, and must seek absolution to the confessor, after having acknowledged his guilt and doing way not to repeat the same sin.

.

We must clarify that as every priest excommunicated him do not cease to be a priest, because no one can revoke the Sacrament of Orders. And as a heretic and schismatic priest will always remain, without being able to exercise any ministry until it will be publicly repented and reinstated by the Ecclesiastical Authority in the exercise of the sacred ministry.

.

The Sacrament of Orders fits those who receive it in sacrament ontologically transforming been supernaturally in his very being constituting "sacred minister" and describing it to act in person Christi [can. 1009 §3], then inserting it into the so-called clerical state from which it derives a legal condition resulting sacred ordination; condition that leads to the cleric rights and obligations established and dictated Ordinamento ecclesiastical. And since what the Order is a sacrament that imprints a character "permanent and eternal", it follows that no one can be deprived of the order power [can. 1338 §2]. The clerical state is a consequence of the Sacrament of Orders, although the two elements - the Sacramento and the clerical state that results - are distinct, even though between them are connected. A cleric can indeed decay from the clerical state, or be deprived of the clerical state, but it will never decay from sacred and to be deprived of Holy Orders, because the sacrament he has received is indeed “indelible and eternal”.

.

Ecclesiastical law split up into three cases in which the cleric can lose the clerical state: the nullity of sacred ordination declared by the sentence or administrative decree [can. 290 n. 1]; discharge legitimately be required due to a crime that provides for a specific sanction [can. 290 n. 2]; rescript of the Apostolic See in which relief is granted to the priest for the gravest reasons [can. 290 n. 3]. In some cases, the maximum penalty for the cleric is dismissal from the clerical state [can. 1336 §1 n. 5], before which we must point out that it will never involve the deprivation of the power of order, because this power is closely related to the sacramental character, an indelible character.

.

of elders Left the Clerical State it's forbidden exercising legitimately and lawfully the power of order [can. 1338 §2], because in forfeiture from the clerical state, besides the loss of rights, of the duties and the state itself, It is inherent in the peremptory prohibition to exercise the power of order [can. 292]. From this it follows that the presbyters discharged from the clerical state for their request or to measure Ecclesiastical Authority, They may not exercise any legitimate authority of sacramental order [can. 1336 § 1, n. 3].

.

The priest Alessandro Minutella he has not yet been dismissed from the clerical state, but it was first suspended peep and then excommunicated. The suspension first, excommunication later, fee for the priest suspended from his duties and especially for the priest excommunicated the absolute prohibition of celebrating the Eucharistic Sacrifice and administering the Sacraments. If subjected to this equally exercised the sacred ministry, the celebration of the Holy Mass and the sacraments administered would be valid but illicit, with the result that those who celebrates Mass and those who participate, those who administer the sacraments, and those who receive them, They fall in a state of mortal sin. Unless, by the faithful, does not take over the lack of knowledge or ignorance of the so-called inevitable. Only in one case can an excommunicated priest licitly administer a sacrament - indeed, in this specific case it is required to do so - he can grant absolution to a penitent real case of danger of death [can. 976].

.

Visionando his last videos added to this article [see video, WHO], anyone can hear and determine under what terms and with what aggressive charge and insulting this presbyter is the Roman Pontiff, members of the College of Cardinals and members of the College of Bishops, in addition to openly accuse us of cowardice all his confreres priests, guilty in his opinion not to be disobedient to "Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio usurper of the See of Peter" to be obstinate and to celebrate Mass in communion with him [cf. video, minute 19,50 WHO]. Indeed, his wicked say, Mass celebrated in communion with "the usurper Bergoglio", he defined as "false Pontiff", It would not be valid, lacking in it - continues to rant - "the action of sanctifying grace of the Holy Spirit", so those who go to Mass one such [N.d.r. celebrated in communion with the reigning Pope] go to Mass with the Devil " [cf. video, minute 5,02 WHO] because "in all that it is in union with Jesus Christ there Bergoglio, there is the Holy Spirit, There Satan " [cf. video, minute 6,38 WHO].

.

The figures attached this excommunicated, by the Pope to the bishops, to follow us priests, constitute an ecclesial body of imperfect people, as imperfect sinners, are always those who by the mystery of grace are called to fill certain roles and perform certain functions sacramental. Anyone can argue about the pastoral abilities of the Roman Pontiff, of individual bishops and all priests; anyone can show their flaws and their moral deficiencies for which will then be called to account before the judgment of God, that with all of us pastors in charge of souls will be particularly severe. Anyone, however, call into question the legitimate authority of the Roman Pontiff and the Bishops, seriously and dangerously attentive to that which is the carrier hierarchical structure of the Holy Church of Christ, and commit a serious crime against the Holy Faith.

.

From video-catechesis by Alessandro Minutella anthology and serious doctrinal contradictions emerge, theological blunders and inaccuracies of all kinds, starting from a very embarrassing Mariology. As examples would indeed many, This makes it impossible to make a strictly scientific theological discourse to indicate certain absurdities and remove them one by one, because to do so would require a book. So we are only limited to some clear examples, knowing first of all that you are dealing with a Priest who holds two doctorates, as he likes to repeat frequently, while expressing crass ignorance not so much on sacramental theology, but just on the fundamentals of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. And since diversi readers have written to us pointing out that this priest is twice doctor of theology and as such can not say incorrect things like those uttered by members of the so-called "false church" which he condemned, is first of all should be clear that the theological doctorates do not constitute any guarantee of wisdom, place no one receives through a doctoral the gifts of grace of the Holy Spirit that will mark the distinguished doctor with a permanent and eternal character. Indeed, the priestly character, It does not confer with doctorates, but through the consecration of the priest with the sacrament of Holy Orders. If doctorates constituted a guarantee of safe, solid and orthodox doctrine infused with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, we should not adopt minimal questioning what they said and wrote Hans Küng, Giovanni Franzoni, Leonardo Boff and so to follow. And remember, incidentally, that the first two mentioned, In addition to being titrated pluri, They were respectively all'assise expert and member of Vatican II. The award titled Giovanni Franzoni, at the Council, He played with the equivalent episcopal dignity, Ordinary time being Abbot of St. Paul Outside the Walls, which until a decade ago it was a territorial prelature of ancient City.

.

In this moment of confusion many believers have lost, but look for safe driving in a heretic who said that the Holy Mass celebrated in communion with the reigning Pope is invalid, It is to be avoided; and it weighs on us a moral obligation to prevent the faithful from following this ungodly pastor, poisoning and theologically confused, although he offered as a guarantee of being doubly Ph.D..

Clarify people the figure of this presbyter, all in all it is easier than it seems, just enough that people lend us listen and then they were asked to the person concerned: with whom she is in communion Bishop? Which bishop gave a mandate to exercise the sacred ministry, in addition to the special powers she claims to have received from the Blessed Virgin Mary in person? Or maybe he does not know, or man made wise by a double Ph.D., that none of us can exercise the sacred ministry in communion with himself, because the validity of the Eucharist celebrated by us depends on the validity of the Eucharist celebrated by the Bishop in full communion with the Bishop of Rome? A quel point, the individual concerned, replicate what has long has been saying and how reiterated in the called video here, that means:

.

"I celebrate in communion with the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI, who is the rightful pope, while the Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio is a usurper placed on the Chair of Peter by the satanic powers and the international Freemasonry ".

.

The doubters and those who believe in what this says, They pose this question: you can ignore that Benedict XVI, before moving to Castel Gandolfo to keep away from the Vatican City during the conclave, He declared "unconditional obedience" to his successor even before the latter was chosen and elected? With that statement, perhaps he said that he would obey the Successor that soon would be elected, regardless of who was? And how can, Such wicked spreading poison among the People of God, ignore that the night after the election, when the newly elected called his predecessor a living, these greets him: "Holiness, even now I promise you my total obedience and my prayer "? Does this not mean that Benedict XVI said before the conclave that he would obey whoever was elected and after their election offered his obedience to his legitimate successor?

.

Lately, the columns of this magazine it was written that while all are wondering more or less fanciful issues, advancing hypotheses mostly surreal, none captures the solemn lesson to all of us given by Pope Benedict XVI, which is this: He has moved away from the Vatican before the conclave, already saying before his election his "unconditional obedience" to his successor. Soon after, his successor elected who called him to announce him in person his election, he said: "Holiness, even now I promise you my total obedience and my prayer ". And if the Venerable Pope Benedict XVI, whose ministry, Exceptionally, instead cease with his death ceased with his free act of renunciation, He professed with such faith and all their obedience to His Successor, we, perhaps we should follow his example and do the same? [see section V "There is no other way except obedience to Peter ', WHO]

.

The followers This excommunicated they ask themselves: if Benedict XVI was the first to recognize the Successor to the sacred throne, The priest in question is said charge in the "holy battle" by the Blessed Virgin Mary in person, with those who are in communion? Because if he had not understood, the first bishop who pleaded in communion with the reigning Pope Benedict XVI was, who freely made a waiver to the Petrine ministry, reiterating again what freedom was his renunciation, reiterating before the election and after the election his "unconditional obedience" to his successor.

.

The followers of this unwise priest out of any theological balance, to wonder and then ask themselves: But this priest furious, with those who are in communion? In whose name speaks? Perhaps as he says speaks "to the authority that Our Lady gives me ' [cf. video, minute 10,50 WHO], then on behalf of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who would tell him to rebel against the Roman Pontiff, "to which she has already declared war" [cf. video, minute 23,00 WHO]? And when the Maria, our revered Mother of the Church, instigates to disobey Peter and the College of the Apostles, asking for that purpose under its protection a devilish priest who says all the time, "Madonna told me", "Our Lady has revealed to me"? Until finally announce that "Our Lady [already] consecrated the Shepherd with the attributes " (!?) [cf. video, minute 30,38 WHO].

.

The answer to the questions put by the Fathers of Readers The island of Patmos It is therefore as follows: those who follow this heretic and excommunicated all participants in celebrations, unless it is not aware of its objective status to excommunicate, or unless it is not burdened with authentic inevitable ignorance that prevents him from also exercise the most elementary critical sense, It must be considered in all respects in a state of mortal sin.

The army of the selfie – a stage on which the priests should not be comfortable [Click on the image to open]

As a priest I always find it difficult to apply a passage from the Gospel of Matthew:

.

"Be careful not to practice your righteousness before men, to be seen by them, otherwise there is no reward for you with your Father who is in heaven. So, When you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, they may be praised by people. Verily I say unto you: They have already received their reward. Instead, while you give alms, do not let your left hand know what thy right hand doeth, so that your alms in secret remains; and your Father, who sees in secret, It will reward you " [Mt 6,1-3].

.

And to: man is vainglorious and as such is always very difficult to work for free. And the priest remains, until the contrary is proved not easy, a man with all his faults. Doing something good there is always the temptation of personal gain, even when there is no monetary reward, the gain you can always make money in fame, in prestige, in visibility and, naturally, in like.

.

Can we waste so much good things? Of course not. So today, we priests, we do not seek more souls to save it like to collect. Soon said: We performed an action of charity? Here is the photo ready Instagram! A politician who hate issued an opinion? Do not delay to punish going down hard Twitter! Individual photos of a priest in the planet and handpiece? Here is ready contemptuous and sarcastic comments of Facebook or on duty Blog!

.

Rome, 25 January 2019: Ivano Liguori and Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, images where the priests feel quite natural ease …

Examples could be multiplied, but the bottom substance always remains the same: We are delighted to have been practicing our righteousness, the one you like so much in the world. And as I grieve to say, by acting in this way we priests are no longer fishers of men, as the Blessed Apostle Peter [cf. Mt 4, 19], but fishermen of followers. We are saturated with Internet users priests seeking visibility: James Martin - known apostle of the rainbow world and the outgoing Church - Alex Zanotelli, Giorgio De Capitani, Mauro Leonardi and others that climb the ascent of fame, if anything, to achieve the fame of real star: Antonio Mazzi and Luigi Ciotti.

.

Far from the envious or resent these confreres, that arouse in me only dejection, having chosen to walk one priestly style does not conform but very common nowadays; a style that Jesus does not share absolutely, because the blatant does not fall between the characteristics of the disciple. Indeed, the talk about himself, It is never a wise choice [cf. LC 6,26]. The priest, must be exercised in a transparent behind which must manifest Christ; and this kind of way of perfection, It requires a lifetime.

.

The old anthologies of holiness which they were read during meals in convents of Lent, guarding a beautiful expression: "Also insensitive to praise and scorn". Because this is the man enlightened by God, which it proves transparent and insensitive to what can be a merit or demerit. This does not mean to despise the gifts or personal gifts, indeed, it is more than ever necessary to recognize that what I possess does not belong to me but is God's grace, so I can not brag; everything is written and explained in the famous parable of the talents [cf. Mt 25, 14-30]. The same criticisms are not the final word of God on my life, then they are irrelevant.

.

I share the thoughts of Cardinal. Robert Sarah when he says:

.

"The more we are clothed with glory and honor, most are raised in dignity, the more we are entrusted with public responsibilities, of prestige and positions in the world, how to lay, priests or bishops, and we must move forward in humility and carefully cultivate the sacred dimension of our inner life constantly trying to see the face of God in prayer, oration, in contemplation and asceticism. It can happen that a good and pious priest, a high time to episcopal dignity, rapidly falling into mediocrity and concern to succeed in world affairs. […] Manifesta in his being and in his works a desire for promotion, a desire for prestige and spiritual degradation. He ends up harming himself and the flock of which the Holy Spirit established him guardian to feed the church of God, which it was purchased with the blood of his own Son. We all run the risk of being monopolized by business and the cares of the world if we neglect the inner life, prayer, the prayer, I feel every day face to face with God, asceticism required every contemplative and to every person who wants to see the Lord and live with Him " [cf. Robert Sarah, The power of silence, Cantagalli, 2017, pp. 35-36].

.

Rome, 25 January 2019: Ivano Liguori and Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, images where the priests feel quite natural ease …

The 16 February on the site of Future appears this news: "Migrants. The selfie Pope with the pin "We open ports!”» [see WHO]. Ad images before which someone has rightly pointed out that today, among many things to open, the gospel has priority, especially in certain curie, convents, monasteries and seminaries …

.

The news, however, is a Clickbait very successful, the web goes crazy for certain things and chef executive officer It is king, in conclusion: coup Avvenire! Aside from the title to great effect, The following news reports that Don Nandino Capovilla has approached the Supreme Pontiff during the meeting on Migration in Sacrofano and, including greetings and kisses, the Holy Father noted the pin «Let's open the doors!"In the hands of the priest and, liking it, It has lent itself to make a selfie with him [cf. WHO, WHO, WHO, WHO].

.

I apologize to all: I'm afraid I have definitely needs a lot of conversion, perhaps even a good eye drops for the eyes, because I just can not catch a gospel message in everything. Or better: the message is, and it is evident that there is, But it is the political and social. The beginning of human justice that you want to accomplish through the logic of the world.

.

The priest commented on selfie on his profile Facebook:

.

We climb on the roofs! Bravely Pope Francis never fails, cut short with discounted exhortations. It gives a picture that raises quell'apriamo ports that is uniting citizens from the north to the south of the country and that evangelical Christians is required to be free from fear. From the title of the national meeting of the Italian Church Francesco she started to denounce and relaunch: “Fear is the source of all bondage and every dictatorship. The fear of the people growing violence of dictators. We renounce the encounter with each other to erect barriers: this is not human. Who has had the power to overcome the fear today is invited to climb on the roofs and invite others to do the same”.

.

It's true: you have to climb on the roofs, I'm with you don Nandino, but on the rooftops I will go up to preach the Gospel, God's Word. And having said that, I can inform you that I have not seen many pins in the hospital where I am chaplain with the words "no abortion!», "Long live the conscientious objection!». Even I saw in parishes pins praising the traditional family, marital fidelity, fidelity to the priestly celibacy, the defense of prostitutes, the protection of the terminally ill and bedridden elderly and so on … but the list goes on. And when such events happen, They are always at the hands of lay people who are immediately accused of traditionalism, fascism and bigotry. Perhaps, unlike us priests, they still have something open … the heart.

.

Rome, 25 January 2019: Ivano Liguori and Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, images where the priests feel quite natural ease

We priests we need more of selfie and find the courage to act, because now the Gospel we no longer nags and is a dead letter. If by mistake we quote, it often happens that it is just the second edition revised interpretation of The Manifesto Marx and Engels or the summary of Thesis at Martin Lutero.

.

Caro don Nandino, I am sure that you carry in your community a commendable service, but next time avoids selfie and advertising, because they are not needed. Your priesthood is already so compelling, without these things, because it is based on exousia [authority, authority] of Christ. You then remember that when San Giuseppe Cafasso passed among the masons, prisoners, sentenced to death and poor people of his time, I doubt I researched it visibility, the less he let yourself be intoxicated by the sacred fire of enthusiasm that can burn badly.

.

Your priestly service is valuable, It should be done thus proclaiming Christ, if you do find that people will seek you out because you are not a fair according to the thinking of the world, but because they have met a minister of God who welcomes, reconciles, feeds with the Eucharist, He teaches to pray and to bend the knees in front of an upper Majesty to that of social network: the Blessed Sacrament.

Santa Teresa of Calcutta

The theme of the Day of the Sick XXVIIª of this year It is focused on the gratuity and the logic of the gift, following the evangelical reference of St. Matthew's Gospel [cf. 10, 8]. In his greeting, the Holy Father underlines how the gift of life implies the recognition of gratuitousness and the same care and protection of human life over time the disease can only play in the all-encompassing donation of person in the likeness of the Good Samaritan [Official text, WHO]. The Pontiff's suggestion allows us to broaden the discourse through some very important ideas.

.

.

I

THE SUPREMACY OF GOD OF LIFE

.

Santa Teresa of Calcutta

First of all, recognize life as a gift It means recognizing the real giver who is God. St. James, in his letter, He tells us that "every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father" [cf. GC 1,17], This first reference shows well how God, as real father, it is also true author of the gift of life. Indeed, the creative act of God, It is intimately tied to its authorship and that measure can not be understood without this category. The God of Jesus Christ does not resemble at all the cold Demiurge by Plato in Timeo; it's not even the creator of the universe of the Gnostic cults or detached largest watchmaker so dear to the Enlightenment. The creative act of God is a father's act and he creates communicating himself, his paternity [cf. At 17,28].

.

From these early consideration, it is easy to say how life implies, to be generated, a father and mother figure - although today this evidence is going through a deep crisis -. Scripture, very wisely, teaches that God becomes knowable to man and as a father and as a mother [cf. Ef 3,14; Is 49,14-15].

.

His paternal primacy of God of all life, challenges the man to become the guardian [cf. GN 2,15; 4,9] and to protect it in front of the scrap culture, of violence and indifference that is the result of contemporary individualism and social fragmentation.

.

Santa Teresa of Calcutta

The dialogue that the Holy Father points out be necessary as a presupposition of the gift, It must not be reduced only to the horizontal dimension of fraternity among men, but first he must get to the encounter with God verticalism. It is therefore necessary to lift his head to the Lord in order to be sure to see the man for what is, and so lead them to salvation.

.

The mystery It is just an example of how the divine vertical relationship humbles himself to reach the horizontality of the human nature in need of healing and resurrection [cf. Fil 2,7]. So the dialogue is fruitful, only if we accept the challenge of dialogue with God and the acceptance of God's Word made flesh, which reveals the ultimate paternity of God the giver of life in abundance [CF Jn. 10,10]. Without dialogue with the Lord, the comparison between men threatens to stop utopia, political ideology, demagogy, the utilitarian logic and the market, the business strategy, depersonalizing the new ethical doctrines; and today, unfortunately, the scope of health pays the price for this type of "calm" and "fraternal relation".

.

(II)

THE CHURCH, WOMB OF DIALOGUE AND CARE

.

Santa Teresa of Calcutta

It is in the Church which implements the recognition of that brotherhood that there is in being granted sons through the Son. If Christ had not done in solidarity with the man up to the total gift of self, the human condition would have been characterized by many lost and fragmented individuality [cf. MC 6,34]. It is in the Church that the Holy Spirit - the Lord, the giver of life - educates the children of God to unity and mutual assistance [cf At 4,32] and the ability to participate in the gift of life as a rich relationship with God, and how to cooperate with his paternity. It is still in the Church that we find the mother's womb that in the liturgical baptismal font where we taste a new brotherhood that shines the dignity of the children beloved by the Father [cf. MC 1,11].

.

The church, before the world, thus becomes the banner of primary and merciful love that becomes concrete only in obedience to the command of the Son of God and our brother Jesus Christ: "I was given all authority in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And here, I am with you always;, until the end of the world " [Mt 28,18-20].

.

The mandate of Christ, at the end of the first Gospel, far from propaganda, proselytism, It ensures a continuous fraternal assistance to the Church, It is a gift of grace that the Christian has to be rescued and healed by learning obedience to the will of God in Mary - Salvation of the sick - he has his shining example and Safe.

"Do not be troubled heart" [GV 14,1]. From proclamations on “Church outgoing” the poster proclaims the faith of Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller

"ARE DISTURBED YOUR HEART" [Teacher 14,1]. Proclamations ON “CHURCH IN OUTPUT” THE POSTER OF PROCLAMATION OF FAITH OF CARDINAL GERHARD LUDWIG MULLER

.

Many now wonder why the Church still exists if the bishops themselves prefer to act as a political rather than as teachers of the faith to proclaim the Gospel. The look is not to dwell on side issues, but it is more than ever necessary for the Church to assume its own responsibility. Every human being has an immortal soul, that his death separates from the body, But the hope of the resurrection of the dead. Death ultimately makes man's decision for or against God. Everyone has to deal with the personal judgment immediately after death.

… the distant future or very close?

More than a "Church in output", at times our Holy Mother seems like a "Church in liquidation" at the end of the season.

.

The Fathers de The Island of Patmos, sharing the highest consideration that all have towards the Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, They were primarily affected by an expression which for them is a lament traded for some time and with increasing frequency among members who carry the sacred priesthood, fulfillment of which they have repeatedly regretted exchanging precisely the phrase that stands out in the first lines of the text written by the former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith: "Today, many Christians no longer know even the basics of the faith".

.

Those who the so-called "field hospital Church" live there, often carrying emergency services to the emergency room where they arrived all the different cases and often more severe, They must face each other every day with a growing number of faithful who no longer know the fundamentals of the Catholic faith, who have no right perception of the sacraments of grace, who for years they do not confess and who can not confess, who do not know the prayers. But most of all, Every day, You are faced with the faithful in terribly high number speak and live the worst language of this world with total ease. abortion: "Well, a girl of sixteen who has a hiccup, You may perhaps become a mother at that age?». Life and health: "Why not give a gentle and dignified death to a person who suffers from an incurable disease, It serves perhaps something to make her suffer needlessly?». affective Life: "We were the parents, the first to recommend to our children, before getting married, going to live with for a few years, sperimentassero so if they really go well together, or maybe the marriage must be a leap in the dark?».

.

These, as many of the faithful who reason well on the different moral and spiritual aspects, are people who generally do not confess, because first of all say they have no sins to confess, But they go to receive Holy Communion, without the knowledge and clear perception of what is really and truly the Most Holy Eucharist.

.

Only these few introductory words They are sufficient to clarify what the Fathers de The Island of Patmos have welcomed and much appreciated this essay containing the words which have long you are repeating each other with great sorrow and regret: Today you must start at one side with the missions for a new evangelization of our populations, the other with the fundamentals of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

il Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller

Faced with an increasingly widespread confusion in teaching of faith, many bishops, priests, religious and laity of the Catholic Church invited me to give public witness to the truth of revelation. It is the responsibility of its pastors to lead men entrusted to them the way of salvation, and this can only happen if such pathway is known and if their first pass through it. About he warned the Apostle:

.

"In fact, I sent you, first of all, what I also received " (1 Color 15,3).

.

Today many Christians no longer know even the basics of the faith, with a growing danger of not finding the path that leads to eternal life. However, proper task of the Church is to lead people to Jesus Christ, light of the nations [see LG 1]. In this situation, one wonders how to find the right orientation. According to John Paul II, The Catechism of the Catholic Church is "a sure norm for teaching the faith" [A deposit of faith IV]. It was written for the purpose of strengthening our brothers and sisters in faith, Mass faith severely tested by the "dictatorship of relativism".

.

I

Triune God, REVEALED IN JESUS ​​CHRIST

.

The epitome of faith of all Christians It lies in the confession of the Holy Trinity. We have become disciples of Jesus, children and friends of God, through baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. The difference of the three divine persons in the unit [254] It marks a fundamental difference in their faith in God and in the image of man over other religions. Recognized Jesus Christ, the ghosts disappear. He is true God and true man, born of the Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit. The Word made flesh, the Son of God is the only Savior of the world [679] and the only mediator between God and men [846]. Because of this, the first letter of John refers to one who denies his divinity as the antichrist [1 GV 2, 22], since Jesus Christ, Son of God, eternity is a unique being with God, his father [663]. It is with clear determination to addressing the reappearance of ancient heresies that in Jesus Christ saw only a good person, a brother and a friend, a prophet and an example of moral life. He is first of all the Word that was with God and is God, Son of the Father, who took our human nature to redeem us and who is to judge the living and the dead. Him alone we worship in unity with the Father and the Holy Spirit as the one true God [691].

.

(II)

THE CHURCH

.

Jesus Christ founded the Church as a visible sign and instrument of salvation, which subsists in the Catholic Church [816]. He gave to His Church, who "it was born from the pierced heart of Christ who died on the cross"[766], a sacramental structure that will remain until the Kingdom is fully achieved [765]. Christ, chief, and believers as members of the body have a mystical person [795], for this reason the church is holy, since Christ, one mediator, It has established on earth as a visible organization and continually sustains [771]. Through it the redemptive work of Christ becomes present in time and space with the celebration of the Blessed Sacrament, especially in the Eucharistic Sacrifice, The holy Mass [1330]. The Church transmits with the authority of Christ's divine revelation, 'Which extends to all the elements of doctrine, including morals, without which the saving truths of the faith can not be preserved, explained, or observed ' [2035].

.

III

ORDER SACRAMENTAL

.

The Church is in Jesus Christ, the universal sacrament of salvation [776]. It does not reflect itself but the light of Christ, shining on his face, and this can only happen when the reference point is not the opinion of the majority nor the spirit of the times, but rather the Truth revealed in Jesus Christ, who entrusted to the Catholic Church the fullness of grace and truth [819]: He himself is present in the sacraments of the Church.

.

The Church is not an association created by man, whose structure can be changed by its members at will: it is of divine origin. "Christ is himself the source of ministry in the Church. He instituted, It gave her authority and mission, orientation and goal " [874]. Even the Apostle's admonition is valid now that cursed is everyone who proclaim another gospel, "Even ourselves, or an angel from heaven " [Gal 1,8]. The mediation of the faith is inextricably linked to human credibility of its announcers: they, in some cases, They have abandoned those who had been entrusted to them, turbandoli and severely damaging their faith. For them it realizes the word of Scripture: "Do not endure sound doctrine, ma, to hear something, It will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own whims " [2 Tim 4,3-4].

.

The task of the Magisterium of the Church with regard to the people of God is that of "]safeguard it from deviations and failures "so that it can" profess no mistake the true faith " [890]. This is especially true of the seven sacraments. The Holy Eucharist is "the source and summit of all Christian life" [1324]. The Eucharistic Sacrifice, in which Christ draws us into his sacrifice on the cross, It is aimed at the most intimate union with Him [1382]. For this reason the Holy Scripture warns about conditions for receiving Holy Communion: "Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily, It shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord " [1Color 11, 27], So "anyone conscious of a grave sin, must receive the sacrament of Reconciliation before entering Communion " [1385]. From the internal logic of the sacrament it is understood that the divorced and remarried civilly, whose sacramental marriage before God is still valid, as well as all those Christians who are not in full communion with the Catholic faith and also all those who are not properly prepared, do not receive the Holy Eucharist fruitfully [1457], because in this way it does not lead them to salvation. Put it in evidence it corresponds to a work of spiritual mercy.

.

The recognition of sins in the holy confession at least once a year is one of the precepts of the Church [2042]. When believers do not confess their sins more receiving absolution, it makes vain the salvation brought by Christ, In fact, he became man to redeem us from our sins. The power of forgiveness, that the Risen Christ gave the Apostles and their successors in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood, take away grave and venial sins committed after Baptism. The current practice of confession shows that the conscience of believers is not sufficiently formed today. The mercy of God is given to us, in order to fulfill his commandments to conformaci to his holy will and not to avoid the call to conversion [1458].

.

"It is the priest who continues the work of redemption on earth" [1589]. The order, which gives the priest a "sacred power" [1592], is irreplaceable because through it Jesus becomes sacramentally present in his saving action. The priests voluntarily choose celibacy as a "sign of such a life" [1579]. It is the gift of himself to the service of Christ and His coming Kingdom. In order to validly conferring ordination in the three degrees of this sacrament, The Church recognizes herself as bound to the choice made by the Lord himself, "For this reason the ordination of women is not possible" [1577]. In this respect, talk about a discrimination against women clearly demonstrates a misunderstanding of this sacrament, it does not affect an earthly power but the representation of Christ, the Bridegroom of the Church.

.

IV

THE MORAL LAW

.

Faith and life are inseparable, because faith without works carried out in the Lord died [1815]. The moral law is the work of divine wisdom and leads man to the promised beatitude [1950]. As a result, the "divine and natural law shows man the way forward to do good and attain his end" [1955]. Its observance is necessary for all people of good will to attain eternal salvation. In fact, he who dies in mortal sin without repentance will remain forever separated from God [1033]. This has practical consequences in the lives of Christians, between which it is appropriate to recall those most frequently neglected today: [cf. 2270-2283; 2350-2381]. The moral law is not a burden, but part of that liberating truth [cf. Jn 8,32] through which the Christian along the way of salvation and should not be relativised.

.

V

ETERNAL LIFE

.

Many now wonder why the Church still exists if the bishops themselves prefer to act as a political rather than as teachers of the faith to proclaim the Gospel. The look is not to dwell on side issues, but it is more than ever necessary for the Church to assume its own responsibility. Every human being has an immortal soul, that his death separates from the body, But the hope of the resurrection of the dead [366]. Death ultimately makes man's decision for or against God. Everyone has to deal with the personal judgment immediately after death [1021]: or you will still require a purification, or the man will go directly to the heavenly bliss and will be allowed to see God face to face. But there is also the terrible possibility that a person, until the end, remains in contradiction with God: finally rejecting His love, it "shall immediately damned forever" [1022]. "It gave, who created us without us, He did not choose to save us without us' [1847]. The eternity of the punishment of hell is a terrible reality, which - according to the testimony of Holy Scripture - concerns all those who "die in a state of mortal sin" [1035]. The Christian crosses the narrow gate, "Because the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter " [Mt 7,13].

.

To keep silent about these and other truths of faith, or teach otherwise It is the worst deception against which the Catechism admonishes vigorously. This is the ultimate test of the Church, or 'a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems, the price of apostasy of the truth " [675]. It is the Antichrist's deception, that is, "with all the seductions of iniquity, to the detriment of those who perish because they received not the love of the truth and be saved " [2Ts 2,10].

.

APPEAL

.

As workers in the vineyard of the Lord, we all have a fundamental responsibility to remember these truths holding on to what we have received the same. We want to give courage to walk the path of Jesus Christ with determination, so as to obtain eternal life by following His commandments [2075].

.

We ask the Lord to let us know how great is the gift of the Catholic faith, through which opens the door to eternal life. "For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels " [MC 8,38]. Therefore we are committed to strengthening the faith confessing the truth that is Jesus Christ himself.

.

The warning that Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ, by his collaborator and successor Timothy is addressed in particular to us, bishops and priests. He wrote:

.

«I adjure you before God and Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: proclaims the Word, insist upon and out of season, do warn, reproaches, exhorts with all magnanimity and teaching. The day will come, indeed, when they will not endure sound doctrine;, ma, to hear something, men's masters according to surround their whims, refusing to listen to the truth to get lost behind the Fables. But you shall carefully, endure the sufferings, do your work of Gospel announcer, fulfill your ministry " [2 TM 4,1-5].

.

may Mary, Mother of God, implorarci the grace to hold fast to the confession of the truth of Jesus Christ without wavering. United in faith and prayer,

The epic tradition, which it is not aesthetic or ideology, but living force with which the Church makes us participants in the whole world the message of Christ

The epic OF TRADITION, THAT IS NOT AESTHETIC NEITHER IDEOLOGY, STRONG BUT ALIVE WITH WHICH THE PARTICIPANT CHURCH MAKES THE WORLD OF CHRIST'S MESSAGE

.

.

We are left with an important responsibility; no we distort the sense of Tradition: it can neither destroy nor ideologically equally as ideologically waving flag. We Catholics, children of the children of the Church and Tradition, servants of Jesus Christ. This is what I have always believed, loved and defended the Tradition.

The Conversion of St. Paul, Caravaggio, collection Odescalchi

If we talk about the tradition, or what it really is in the Christian lexicon, We have to start from the Apostolic Letters Pauline:

.

Dear, I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you: the Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, He took bread, gave thanks, he broke it and said,: “This is my body, that's for you; Do this in memory of me". In the same way, after dinner, also the cup, saying: "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, every time you drink it, in memory of me ". For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes [The Cor 11, 23 – 26].

.

What St. Paul, It is what the compositional and expressive plan might call "epic". And the epic - to remember the true etymological sense of the word -, It is the story of "fairy tales" or "fantasies", but it is a higher type of expression generally, poetic or literary, that tells a real story.

.

the fall of St. Paul on the road to Damascus, Caravaggio, work preserved in the Roman church of Santa Maria del Popolo

This is why often I get excited when I hear epic stories. I love literature, the theater and its own cinema for this reason. In fourth high school I loved the eternal lines of 'Iliade, siege of Troy. In that case the classical Greece has handed down orally even violent confrontation between Achilles, iracondo, and Ettore. At Cinema, I was moved before the brotherly love of Raymond and Charlie Babbit, interpreters that Dustin Hoffman will Tom Cruise, the unforgettable Rainman – Man of the Rain. On stage, they gave me joy, the Ernest Sweetheart cunning arguments Import of being Ernest. The "epics" of warriors, brothers and men with the heart beating are gifts that will always carry with me.

.

The epic is one of a thousand reasons why I joined and I continue to adhere to the faith in Christ and so I joined the Order of Preachers. Faith in Jesus Christ, in its essential ad, says epic: It announces that the love of a God so great for fallen and suffering humanity enough to die on the cross to redeem. But the epic of Christianity is emphasized by St. Paul at the beginning of the song that I wanted to mention. The epic is contained in verbal couple "I received […] I sent '.

.

St. Paul speaks of a fact deliver, a Tradition. That is a figure that, over the centuries, continuously it communicated and reaches us: this figure is the essential message of Christ. Even the liturgy, we note, It focuses on Tradition. In the Roman Canon we can listen in fact this sentence:

.

«[…] and all true, and the Catholic Church,, apostolic faith [And with all those who guard the Catholic faith transmitted by the Apostles'.

.

the martyrdom of St. Paul, by Mattia Preti [XVII sec.]

Several times, perhaps even in the queer and inopportune moments, I meditated on this passage of the Roman Canon. It is again the missal to emphasize the epic and the love of all those who have labored in the guard and give us that announcement intact. So I look back with joy to those in my life who have guarded and transmitted the message of Jesus: in the first place my two grandmothers. Really they have given me an invaluable repository of faith.

.

Tradition is the Trinitarian dance circling the world. It is the main force, together with the Scripture, with which the Church makes us participants in the whole world the message of Christ. A message, teaches the Letter to Diognetus, which is not invented by a philosophical reflection. That message is essentially the encounter with the Risen Jesus.

.

To broadcast, be part of the Tradition means ultimately bring together the poor and the needy, material as a spiritual, the face of God who loves him and keep him,.

.

We are left with an important responsibility; no we distort the sense of Tradition: it can neither destroy nor ideologically equally as ideologically waving flag. We Catholics, children of the children of the Church and Tradition, servants of Jesus Christ. This is what I have always believed, loved and defended the Tradition. I then try to make a breakthrough.

.

Inside the tomb of St. Paul, in the homonymous major Roman basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls

Father Yves Congar [1904-1995], In the 1975 he wrote:

.

"Tradition (And) something quite different from a mechanical and repetitive affirmation of the past: it is the active presence of a principle in all its history ".

.

We called ourselves to enter into the dynamics of Tradition, as clerics, secular and religious. Called to be a living presence with the Tradition. The order to which I belong, the Order of Preachers founded by St. Dominic de Guzman, It was born of the thirst for truth that the men of the thirteenth century yearned desperately; the Middle Aged, desertified by Cathar and Waldensian, He begged our brothers: "Bring the refreshing water of the Catholic faith".

.

This deep desire has not stopped the mIDDLE aGE. It has survived the centuries and it is now up to date. So all of us, not only the Dominicans, today continue to preach and transmit the integrity of the doctrine and to strive to live every moment, despite our sins and our weaknesses. Thinking back to the double blessing, will be implemented upon the spouses the request of the celebrant: "Holy Father, grant that these sons, united in front of you as spouses, communicate to your table, to participate together with joy at the banquet of heaven ". Thinking back to the religious profession and ordination will implement the formula: "And God who began this work in you, bring it to completion ". We become everyone humble fervent Catholics, loads of Holy Tradition, and the fulfillment of God's masterpiece will be realized in us.

THE MOST TERRIBLE AND DIFFICULT CANCER TO HEAL ARE THE DISEASES THAT PREVENT US FROM BEING WITNESSES OF CHRIST

[ (II)ª REFLECTION: The lukewarmness ]

Fragility, Roman work of painter Anna Boschini, It is from the catalog of Mondadori Art, 2019 [cf. Vitarte Gallery, WHO]

I challenge readers from The Island of Patmos never to have heard in Church - including groups of laity, religious communities, priests or curial environment - expression: "It has always done so".

.

This sentence, far from wanting to preserve tradition - the real one, no traditionalism - is actually the biggest threat to the growth of the Church community. Behind 'has always done well', It hides the trap that prevents the Christian to be an authentic witness of the risen Lord.

.

Here then is to break into the second spiritual sickness: the lukewarmness. You get to contracting this disease when we take the habit of doing things for the Lord routine. As well as teaching the old manuals of spirituality, lukewarmness may cover all or incipient the perfect.

.

It seems strange, but often we can discover us lukewarm just after taking a sufficient degree of fervor and union with the Lord. Indeed, closing the grace or the Holy Spirit's inspirations, They are characterized as hazardous elements that draw them to the lukewarm; as well as the crystallization in a faith that satisfies a purely human vision. In this case, the complacency of an artificial faith takes over the "new wine" (cf. MC 2, 22) the Lord wants to pour with plenty in my life and I will see jailed me to repeat the same pattern that will drain the vitality of the Gospel, leading me spiritual flattening.

.

wanting to hazard a definition of lukewarm we can say that: is repetitive devotion to the work of man that is opposed to the virtue of religion which consists of a readiness of mind toward God. And the Word of God is clear, about the condemnation of apathy and lukewarm condemnation of man:

.

"I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. I would thou wert cold or hot! But because you are lukewarm, that is, you are neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of my mouth " (cf. AP 3,14-16).

.

After the storm, Roman work of painter Anna Boschini

Many ecclesial communities They are infested with this type of disease and everything is contaminated by this disease: fraternal relations, love life, the economics, the selection and election of community leaders, liturgical life, the charity … Often, in front of a fair appeal before this soporific lifestyle, There is justified by saying: "What harm do? My prayers try to say them, Sunday Mass more or less follow her, what else should I do?». What is missing in these people and these communities is a holy restlessness to know Jesus and to make him loved.

 

.

The apathy is recognized by several symptoms, byiamone with someone: the first symptom, It is the normalization. Today we have a tendency to standardize everything and then to justify everything. For example sin. Normalize sin is to recognize that God's love wound, because it is accomplished by many and with a certain frequency, It loses its problematic. Or they tend to normalize sinful acts minimizing them: "I committed peccadilloes, I had a passioncella, I kept the bad habit '.

. .

Challenge, Roman work of painter Anna Boschini

The warm tends to normalize and to minimize the reality that surrounds him with the illusion of bringing peace and mercy. It is self-convinced that there is nothing left to improve in your life because - after all - has reached a stable equilibrium reassuring. However, Jesus in the Gospel does not praise the tepid demand but raising the level of discipleship toward a justice empowered by sanctifying grace:

.

"I will indeed say: unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, never enter the kingdom of heaven " [cf. Mt 5,20].

.

The third symptom of apathy is doubt, son of lukewarmness, who the tepid man has a great propensity to doubt - not because he is a skeptic convinced - but because the question allows him to not take a clear position on faith and relationship with God. Often it is usually repeated phrases like these: "I think I'm a believer but I have always been many unresolved doubts about faith ', and although he is chosen in a good accompaniment which tends to settle certain problematic, doubts persist anchored to the will of the person. To which come Moses, the lukewarm who doubts, It is unable to enter the Promised Land in which he fully realizes the relationship with God [cf. Dt 32,48-52]. It is content to see the spiritual reality from afar. There is a substantial difference, however,, that Moses became a source of shame and emphasizes a certain incompleteness to their vocation; in warm doubt it is conceived as relief that relieves, Once again, the problem of God.

.

Meeting to freedom, Roman work of painter Anna Boschini

Fourth symptom of apathy It is the free rein of concupiscence. The man who is immersed in lukewarm, soon lost the reference to the person of God, the ability to renounce himself and status new man Saint Paul calls for the man who has been redeemed by Christ [cf. Mt 16,24; MC 8,34; LC 9,23; Ef 4,24]. With the proliferation of various disorders in the soul that makes human nature far from grace, the warm is a slave of lust that he himself helped to feed. Here, then, that theso in lust it leads to the maturation of some very dangerous fruit - the seven deadly sins - that lead to ever greater moral disorders, much to spoil the beauty of man created by God. This lust leads man to regress to a condition that enslaves their instincts and passions.

.

In the past the holy fathers of monasticism Evagrius Ponticus, John Damascene, Gregory of Nyssa, Antonio Abate since most expert of the human soul, They had worked out different ways to fight the deadly sins, in addition to the constant vigilance of the heart, It was necessary evangelization of conscience, thoughts and feelings.

.

With this second contribution which he sought to analyze the spiritual sickness of apathy, You want to warn the Christians so that there is always a steady progression in the journey of knowledge of the Lord, because as rightly teaches St. Augustine, the not advance the cause of God means going back. And because the desire for God's holiness for all his children [cf 1Ts 4,3], we can only fight the disease of apathy that cloaked nowadays of doing good and tolerance reaps many victims in the Church.

THE MOST TERRIBLE AND DIFFICULT CANCER TO HEAL ARE THE DISEASES THAT PREVENT US FROM BEING WITNESSES OF CHRIST

[ 1st The sadness ]

.

It always affects of sad to see Christians, He was always struck. In the same way, it strikes me to see sullen priests and religious people. This is because it is a blatant contradiction in those who should announce the Easter. When he celebrates Mass, when I drive a prayer, or when you simply walk into a church, I like to stop and observe people. I observe that I too, I need encouragement from those who live a strong faith and have an intimate relationship with God. And while often orsservo, here ... long faces!

sad clown …

With this new article I will start a cycle of reflections on the most dangerous spiritual illnesses for the life of a Christian. As always I want to quote the Word of God, taking as inspiration a Gospel passage that I've got to also mention other times in my writings on our Patmos Island:

.

"And here, in that very day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, at about eleven kilometers from Jerusalem, and they are talking with each other about all that had happened. While they are conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. But their eyes were kept from recognizing him " [cf. LC 24,13-16].

.

In verse 16 it is evident a certain blindness heart and mind, this means that there is something in these two disciples that prevents them from recognizing the risen Lord. There are indeed some soul diseases that separate us from Christ and that prevent us from doing our novelty of the Gospel for this to transform our lives and that of others. It is therefore in these terms that I wish present the first spiritual sickness: the sadness.

.

It always affects of sad to see Christians, He was always struck. In the same way, it strikes me to see sullen priests and religious people. This is because it is a blatant contradiction in those who should announce the Easter. When he celebrates Mass, when I drive a prayer, or when you simply walk into a church, I like to stop and observe people. I observe that I too, I need encouragement from those who live a strong faith and have an intimate relationship with God. And while often orsservo, here ... long faces!

.

sad clown …

Let us first understand a thing: qT his kind of sadness is not given by the reverses of life that inevitably we all find support. The sadness of which I speak, It is mixed with resignation, It is a sadness that is often despair, depression, static, docility which - as we want with mystical masks and sliced ​​air holiness - always emerges afloat.

.

The Christian can only be described if not within the joy, was created for the joy and the same redemption by Christ - albeit accompanied by inevitable tragedy of the Passion - it not ends with Good Friday but with the Sunday of the Resurrection expression of joy that wins over death. The vivid representation of the joy of Christ and the disciples, that the early Christians, It emerges from the Gospel of St. John the Apostle, indicated by the great Fathers of the Church and by the exegetes, also as "The Gospel of joy».

.

The most credible sign of a Christian It should be just what joy, the intimate joy of living for God and his company; the deep joy of being able to present to the Father every moment of our day and be sure to feel loved, included, forgiven and healed intimately. For this mi often like to quote a passage from the homily for Christmas Pope St. Leo the Great says that: «Recognize your dignity, oh Christian». That is, we are called to re-know each other again, to become aware of our identity, realize again who we are as believers. Every Christian life - thus the mine and yours - is life in which Christ lives, opera, but, pray, hope, suffers, He relies on Father.

.

sad clown …

The Christian life is a life of communion where the relationship with Jesus is present: here is my dignity, here is my joy! On the contrary, facendo however room for sadness, I put in the shade the presence of Jesus living in me and I go often with only my strength that I check to be inadequate. Moreover, This attitude of spiritual melancholy is reinforced by statements like: "We are born to suffer !», "I'm not worth anything, What can I ever do any good?», "I have zero, God is everything ", "We are in God's hands, we can not do anything ", "I deserve to suffer because of my sins, God rightly punishes me". All these ways of thought of “Christians”, pose a serious down payment on the joy that God wants for her children, Christ merited for us with his resurrection and that the Holy Spirit constantly pours into our hearts as a free gift.

.

This shadowy situation it is often the result of our low spiritual self-esteem and a very bad or absent spiritual and catechetical formation. I'll explain …

.

… Spiritual self-esteem is the awareness of the value which every person attaches to itself in relation to the person of God, the attitude that everyone is against it as a loved one, accepted and valued by God. This spiritual self-esteem in part depends on us and our experience of God, in part it depends on those who educated us in the faith so that we could feel loved and worthy Christians. Having a low self-esteem is also the spiritual image of God index that we have cultivated. We can perceive God as an accountant, he who marks his notebook our mistakes and flaws ready to make us pay the bill. We can perceive God as the dictator who deprives us of the joy and only asks us to sacrifices, we can get the idea of ​​God as a symbol of efficiency that wants all perfecting without the possibility of making a mistake or show weakness. Or we tested the idea of ​​God as a con man who promises everything and keeps nothing, or the idea of ​​God's vindictive judge who likes to punish and chastise the man to show his strength.

.

sad clown …

All these images of God They are indicative of pathological way in which Christians perceive ourselves and the way we live style of the Gospel within our religious communities. E cOn these assumptions, you create a serious risk of a problematic spiritual self-esteem.

.

It may happen that as Christians we tend not to look at the positive aspects of our lives, denying or not seeing the good that God works in us. It seems more natural to consider the downsides disconsolate and cry about our miseries. Even some religious education, guided by a false and deviated concept of humility, He has led us to feel guilty every time we talk about our quality and that is beautiful and holy we are living in relationship with God.

.

The confession of praise, that is, the manifestation of the nice things – and therefore of the joy – that the Lord brings into my life is essential to make the sadness disappear once and for all. That's why during the sacramental confession, even before the prosecution of sins, you need to show to the priest, the joyful reality of which I have to give thanks to God.

.

The Holy Scripture and the most authentic Christian anthropology They tell us that man is not a being negative, lost and dejected. There is a deep-rooted optimism that sees positively the man and this derives from union with God who gives beauty, comfort, dignity and makes the face of the Son continually shine on every created reality. Man is created not only in the good and in the infinite love of God, but is structured as actually very good [cf. GN 1,31] and as a positive reality which has its model in Jesus Lord of the world [cf. With the 1,16-17]. Not even the first disobedience [cf. GN 3] He manages to undermine the respect and the love that God feels for man, so as to continue to evaluate its creature with a personal act of love and care. For this reason, the height of the drama of original sin, man receives also the promise of redemption and he is given a new dress that can give him dignity and value [cf. GN 3,15; 21].

.

sad clown …

In the history of the people of Israel God always helps the man so that nothing detracts from its value, its certainty of being loved. Neither the arrogance of the Pharaoh of Egypt, nor hunger and thirst in the desert, or sickness, obstinacy and murmuring manage to convince God to reject and disesteem man created very good. It is not external things – good or bad – that determine our value as Christians, It's not what people say about me that makes me a better or worse Christian, it is the value I have for God that makes me lovable.

.

In the wake of this thought, psychologist James Bugental states that our true identity does not lie outside of ourselves, it must not be sought in external confirmations, in external security. Our true identity, we can find our treasure by digging in the field of our soul, deep within ourselves: place where God takes up residence and reveals himself in joy.

.

It is in this shrine that I can find the original image that God intended for me, the original word that God pronounced when creating me and which is capable of giving meaning and joy to an entire life, even the most ruined and apparently useless one.

"MOM I MISSED THE PLANE". THE HOLY FAMILY IN JOURNEY TO GLORY THE STORY OF GOSPEL LUCANO

.

«Because you were looking for me? Did you not know that I must be about my Father?"This is a lost opportunity for Jesus to show his personality. The episode reminds me of an old Christmas movies, Mom I missed the plane the 1990. A young Macaulay Culkin plays the little Kevin, accidentally left at home by parents before a trip to Paris […]

the then small Macaulay Culkin

In these days who led us in the mystery of Christmas to that of Epiphany, we can stop some’ on historical narratives that Luke's Gospel offers us the Holy Family.

.

The parents of Jesus They went every year to Jerusalem for the Passover feast. When he was twelve years, they went up according to the custom of the feast. Ma, elapsed days, as they resumed their way back, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it. Believing that he was in the company, they journeyed for a day, then they sought him among their relatives and acquaintances; I did not find, They came back looking for him in Jerusalem [cf. LC 2, 41 – 45].

.

After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the masters, He is listening to them and asking them questions;. And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers [ cf. LC 2, 47]. When they saw him they were amazed, and his mother said:

.

""Son, why have you done this? there, Your father and I, distressed, We are looking for you ". And he answered them: “Because you were looking for me? Did you not know that I must be about my Father "? But they did not understand what he had told them. He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient. His mother kept all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom, age and grace before God and man " [cf. LC 2, 48-52].

.

So let us clarify this trip: honoring Jewish traditions, holy family goes to journey to Jerusalem. Jesus was twelve years old. The Holy Family, then made two trips: from Nazareth to Jerusalem. From Jerusalem Nazareth. Here is a feature also applies to the family today.

.

The two travel show us how the family is a dynamic reality. It is not fixed in its sights, in his habits, in its arid certainties. The family is the place of the dynamism: a dynamism in the tradition, according to our faith. This link between tradition and family, It allows us to see how the conjugal nucleus is a place where it is possible to feed the amazement of the faith: a faith to a time so ancient and so new. Where traditions are the place to be rooted and start to build their own identity.

.

For this Jesus, It can respond calmly: «Because you were looking for me? Did you not know that I must be about my Father?» [LC 2, 49]. This is a lost opportunity for Jesus to show his personality. The episode reminds me of an old Christmas movies, Mom I missed the plane the 1990. A young Macaulay Culkin plays the little Kevin, accidentally left at home by parents before a trip to Paris. between laughter, unexpected and gag comic, Kevin will defend with tooth and nail their homes by the attempted theft of two bumbling thieves. Kevin has therefore realized that in his small had an important role: defend his affections and his most intimate memories to those who wanted sottrarglieli and put violence on them.

.

Jesus, It is among the teachers and the teachers of the Law, in a full questioned and discussed with them with a keen intelligence and the clarity of the answers. I would dare to say, Jesus can give succinct answers to questions of the doctors and their questions about the Torah and the Talmud. Synthetic implies brevity and conciseness capacity, but at the same time is not superficial: The short answer is intelligent when it is able to express all in a fragment. He can say the depth of the divine mysteries in a few clear words. Jesus answers, then, that takes care of things of his Father: takes care of its mission bearer of God's truth and thus prepares the equivalent mission of redemption will happen years later.

.

Inside of of his family, Jesus has gained its identity and mission. That's why his journey with the Holy Family was a trip to glory. From Christmas Eve recently celebrated, until the Passion and Resurrection which we celebrate at Easter, Jesus walks always with the family community in a growing age, wisdom and grace.

.

That's why for us, our families I am the first cell of our human and personal development: that place where we discover our identity, our faults and virtues. Where we learn to honor the Holy Scriptures, Tradition and the Magisterium of the Church as the development aid of our staff sacred turmoil: ie of ourselves in the discovery of our vocation, priestly, religious or double.

.

These days between Christmas and Epiphany in which we also celebrated the feast of the Holy Family, Thank the Lord for the gifts they wanted us to bear by our parents; and by all those who have made the pedagogues in the existential service development, human and spiritual of our vocations.

THROUGH THE WAY OF EMMAUS LANES OF HOSPITAL: THE CHAPLAIN AS DISCIPLE AND TRAVELING COMPANION IN DISEASE

.

... in the parable of the Good Samaritan, is a clear reference to Jesus as the one who cares for man beaten by robbers and pours oil on his wounds and wine symbols of sacramental grace that comes from Christ with abundance and power.

Ivano Liguori, Ofm. Capp. on a visit to the hospital pediatric ward Brotzu of Cagliari with the elves and Santa Claus

The fact that "just die" guides us to understand, through the daily experience, that in life we ​​all need someone to support us and share with us their carefree moments and test. Divine finding of Genesis 2,18 "It is not good that the man should be alone", in my opinion it should not only read as a reference of the spousal relationship between man and woman, but as imperative to sociability and fellowship. Man is called to experience God only in communion with his brother. The mystery of the Trinity, It is a mystery of communion, It does not exist in God alone.

.

In times of trial and illness the being dynamic with is essential to experience a true accompaniment that both support and stimulus not to feel alone and to enjoy as well the providence of God that puts our side someone who loves us. Already the wisdom of the Psalmist makes us sing: "There, how good and how pleasant it is when brothers live together " [cf Sal 133,1].

.

There are two episodes of the Gospel that better than others embody the duty of the vicinity of the Christian toward the sufferer in body and soul: the parable of the Good Samaritan [cf. LC 10,23-37] and the story of the disciples of Emmaus [cf. LC 24,13-35]. In these Gospel passages the evangelist Luke, Master of tenderness and compassion, reveals the preferential love of Christ for the sick man. Hence the urge to dare not pass.

.

In the parable of the Good Samaritan the reference to Jesus as the one who takes care of the man beaten by brigands and pours on his wounds oil and wine symbols of sacramental grace is clear, that Christ comes with abundance and power. The man mistreated by robbers is taken over by Jesus to walk from the condition of dying to that of the resurrected. The figure of the man beaten on the road, expresses vividly:

.

"The incurable wound from which we were hit […] and that only the Lord could heal. That's why he came in person, because none of the elderly, nor the Law, i born profeti, They were capable of remedy. Only him, coming, He cured this incurable wound in the soul " [cf. Macarius the Great, Homilies, (Coll. (II)), XXX, 8].

.

Jesus the Good Samaritan It makes a change of state in the life of every man: dall'orizzontalismo infirmity to the verticality of the new life [cf. LC 4,38-39]. Jesus is the one who heals and heals because it is the Lord. The power of the Risen Lord and his lordship is manifested through a new creation that takes place in humans through a passage from the condition of sickness to health condition that becomes proof of salvation and then resurrection.

.

Christmas in the pediatric ward

In front of Jesus healing action, there is a need to be employees of a cure that is expressed in time and which is brought forward thanks to the work of the master of the inn to which is entrusted with the task to preserve and continue the work of restoration started by Christ. Like this, in the care and assistance of the sick, the figure of the hospital chaplain embodies the one to whom Jesus entrusted the care of the dying, obeying the mandate to take care of him, mutandolo Minister in the Easter announcement that Jesus is risen and He is the Lord [cf. At 3,1-16], this announcement comes the healing power.

.

In the ministry of consolation and care which is done in the hospital, the chaplain is called to imitate the attitudes of Good Samaritan who sees the sick but does not pass over. At the same time, the chaplain is also minister of diakonia insofar as he is capable of assuming and planning concrete realities of assistance in the time of illness of many poor and disadvantaged men.

.

We can say then that the hospital ministry for the sick is a missionary service, that in the ad, in the care and nell'accudimento builds the face of the suffering of Christ Church. Here then is the task of care and compassion is combined in the accompaniment of discouraged, Man hopelessly, therefore infirm soul.

.

Christmas in the pediatric ward

In the light of the proximity and the impulse to common path, l'Episode from the Gospel of Luke, the disciples of Emmaus shows us Jesus who makes companion of man's journey that has lost hope and joy. In fact the disease, the fear of death and loneliness, destroy the humans joy, as well as put a strain on the faith. Questions like: "why me?"And" where is God in all this?»Prove the patient and his family and they require a response that can never be taken for granted or easy come. Then, at the same time take care of the sick, no need for a walk with him, open his heart to the joyous message of Easter: God is victorious over death, of the disease, the loneliness of man.

.

Christmas along the Via Emmaus hospital …

The announcement of the Word of God, human proximity to the chaplain and Christian communities who frequently visit the sick, realize that miracle of inclusion and accompaniment which then predisposes the patient to dispose of the sad face of disappointment and sadness to dress the joy and gratitude in the living Jesus. This is why the walk close to the patient within the hospital really means to implement consistently and missionary spirit of the daily visit to the wards, the meeting with the families of the sick, sacramental care of the sick souls.

.

The chaplain was called to duty of justice to meet the sick, not only to obey the command of Christ [cf. Mt 25,36], but to be traveling with him in the disease, friend who dries her tears and fills a void, prophet who announces that God is faithful and realizes its promises.

.

the disciples on the Way to Emmaus [see text Lucan WHO].

Christ the Lord, through human and sacramental mediation of the priest chaplain, breaks considered the bread of the Word and the Eucharist that the blind regain sight, the lame to walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf come back to hear, the dead are called to life, the poor are immersed in the gospel of the kingdom [cf. LC 7,22].

.

A ministry of this kind is no doubt exhausting, slow and meticulous and lends itself to sharing the same divine patience, so that the sick man in body and spirit is, day by day, cared for and loved so that it can achieve health and salvation that are normal conditions for every child of God.
