Black Brazilian Waxing

LEZIONI ED E-LEZIONI

All Quiet on the front of the school: it's been a month since the beginning of the courses, we have now entered into a normal pattern and pretty quiet. The main topic of the course of the first "half" the General Rules (Book I, Part II) and the hierarchical constitution of the Church (Book II, second part). Single teacher "new" - for now - is that of course Latin level 2. Examinations do not talk until the end of January 2008, so life is very quiet ...

... if it were not for those E- lessons: yesterday's second round of students have elected two representatives of the students in the Faculty Council. I found out I had to shoulder a large electorate! How would a cardinal met Monday night: " NEVER would have thought ...." Oh well, if you trust ...

Meanwhile tonight the Dean has already sent an e-mail invitation and agenda of the first meeting of the Council: damn, that timing!

Uhm, sto accumulando titoli: sarà mica l’aria di Roma?

Nurofen Stuck To Back Of Throat

PESSIMISMO

Stamattina, arrivando a Rebibbia per la Messa di Tutti i Santi, ho appreso che Giuseppe è evaso , sfruttando un permesso di sei giorni presso la sua famiglia a Torino e non presentandosi al rientro.

Uno può alzare le spalle e dire a se stesso: «Sei a Rebibbia, cosa pretendi..?». Oppure: «A cinquant’anni suonati, se quello là non ha cervello tu cosa puoi fare?».

Ma io ho dato a Giuseppe molto: molto tempo per ascoltarlo, molte parole to comfort, some advice for you to not lose confidence in himself or in the system , I gave him my phone number so that he knew to have support, I sent him a letter in which he exposes me to ask many people to look around to lend a hand with their reintegration; I waited to greet him at Termini Station before leaving for Torino .. hug and promise to keep in touch and all the rest, as they do between friends.

I did not expect anything from him in return, except that complete his journey of serving the sentence (he missed a few months, after more than twelve years without ever leaving even for a day). But, equally, it was a hard blow to absorb.

Now, Lord, "Blessed are the meek ... Blessed are the merciful ... Blessed are the peacemakers .... " OK, I'm your pick and provocation. But allow me, good Jesus, that is a little bitter ..?

I Am Dying From Cocaine Chest Pains

Lunedì 8 ottobre

In a simple small grant for a daily Mass, I thought that made me a smile but also a good reflection. There
propose that part, so funny and true.

[Readings: Jonah and his "landing" - the Good Samaritan]

[the great fish of Jonah and the Samaritan] shown to have "compassion" (Luke 10:37) that neither "the sailors afraid "(Jn 1:5) or" the priest "(Lk 10:31) nor" the Levite "(Luke 10:32) are able to manifest it too much taken from the store's own life and in the case cited by Lord Jesus, not to jeopardize their ritual purity. Instead

good whale and the Good Samaritan know stop for a moment on their journey and take "care of him" (Luke 10:35). Both the whale that the Samaritan, in reality, do not change their lives since the first "after three days and three nights" (John 2:11) gets rid of the weight maybe a little 'indigestible of Jonah and the Good Samaritan, already "the next day " (Luke 10:35) resumed his way. But if neither the whale or the Samaritan hnno changed their lives, both the first and the second - on their willingness to spend some 'time - have literally saved the life of Jonah and the man who "went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers who stripped him, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead "(Luke 10:30).

An excellent way to describe what happens to Jonah and "threw him into the sea" (John 1.15) in free-fall into the "abyss, in the heart of the sea" (John 2:4). And who of us, just and only because of the human condition is not always on the way to a road that goes down, sometimes in a terrible way to feel "that undermines the life" (John 2:8)?

To the extent that we acknowledge that we go down "that road" (Luke 10:31) we can only make us neighbors, let us "others" (Luke 10:36) to "bind up the wounds" (Luke 10:33) of 'and another, just as we are doing, feel that pours out a balm on the wounds that we carry within ourselves and in our hearts. It is not that difficult "to inherit eternal life" (Luke 10:25)! Just look at "the Act" (Luke 10.26) of the life to which we subject all of them: "Take care of him" (Luke 10:35). Every time we take care, in reality, we are merely being faithful to our hearts and, inevitably, we also take care of ourselves. The Lord Jesus gave us the example and we also give the command: 'Go and also do likewise "(Luke 10:37) ... in one word: be a good and nice and not a whale shark.

Domenica 7 ottobre

The first reading of the Sunday just gone through:

Silence of God and man's dismay. Violence in the world and God's apparent inactivity
A cry. One answer: Write! He records! carved and clear words that remain forever! True today and never false.
Our God is revealed, it acts with a mighty hand, speaks loudly and often biting words.
But, also, is silent.
that do not silence him. Maybe we are not able to perceive its voice, not tuned to its wavelength. And maybe sometimes it's better this way: leaving out the voice of our hearts we can better learn who we really are, without continuing to hide ourselves. He was born fear and dismay, the better. It means that even in his apparent silence God is e-ducando , there is drawing-out of our misery and poverty.

"Heavenly Father!
In many ways you speak to a man: You, the only one who have wisdom and understanding, however, make you want to understand him.
You speak even when silent, because he who speaks is silent, to prove the beloved one who speaks is silent, so that is time to understand more deeply when it comes.
Heavenly Father, is it not so?
Oh, when everything is silent, when a man is sitting alone and abandoned and no longer hear your voice, then maybe for him it is as if the separation would be eternal.
Oh, in time of silence, when a man languishes in the desert and can not hear the your voice, then it's probably for him as if it were almost completely gone.
Heavenly Father, this is clearly the moment of silence, the confidential talks.
So, is' blessed be also your silence as every word he speaks to man, that he does not forget that you are talking about even when silent. Give him
, while it is waiting for you, the consolation to know that you are silent for love, for love, so to speak, so that, whether you speak or be silent, you are always the same Father, guide us with your teach us with your voice or silence. "

S. Kierkegaard
