Dal nostro DIACONO DANTE COLANDREA
Riflessione del mese di ottobre
PER I CRISTIANI PERSEGUITATI
sr. Mariangela Tassielli fsp
Nuove terre sono bagnate dal sangue dei martiri e,
oggi, il cielo ascolta nuovo dolore.
Piccoli e grandi, uomini e donne, sani e malati, l'odio
non fa distinzioni e ogni giorno uccide la fraternità.
Proteggi, Signore, chi per fede muore. Custodisci i
passi di coloro che fuggono per non far morire il futuro
e la fede in te.
Sii la forza di chi non cede alla paura e, con audacia,
testimonia il tuo nome e la tua salvezza.
Noi crediamo che tu sei il Signore, Dio dell'universo;crediamo che il tuo nome, invocato oggi tra lacrime e pianto, tra terrore e speranza, può portare
salvezza al mondo.
Ognuno di noi lo invochi, chiedendo salvezza, in
comunione con i nostri fratelli e sorelle perseguitati in
tante parti del mondo.Amen.
“L’angolo della Sapienza”
FEDE E PREGHIERA
(Adrienne von Speyr, Esperienza di preghiera)

XXX DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
Considerar poner en practica estas palabras del evangelio suele provocarnos miedo o temor , pues son de una gran responsabilidad mas si en realidad nos dedicamos a que el Señor sea nuestro Dios y se convierta en
el todo de nuestras vidas; de nuestro cuerpo y alma. El primer paso para
conseguir esto es volvernos humanos como Cristo lo hizo , ya somos humanos por derecho de la naturaleza pero aca a lo que nos referimos es
de humanizarnos como Cristo mismo llego a serlo para asi iniciar el
camino que Dios quiere para nosotros . La vida junto a Dios tiene que ser constantemente una
intimidad en el dialogo , una confianza en la amistad , una busqueda repetitiva de Consuelo
y perdon como asi mismo debe ser nuestra atención para con El , así finalmente desearemos
estar todo el tiempo con El. Hagamos pues el proposito de vivir en comunión con Cristo cada
dia de nuestras vidas . Que sea el motivo de levantarnos cada mañana y decir gracias Padre
por darnos la vida y darnos la oportunidad de venir a una tierra extranjera a luchar por
nuestros sueños y los de otros.
El compromiso de esta semana es dedicar un minuto como acción de gracias por cada momento recibido y asi iniciaremos ese dialogo de amor con el Dios de nuestras vidas que lo
llena todo.

have an E-form so you complete this form without writing. Just e-mail it back to us, or print it out and drop it off. All Requests
must be made using our form. E-mail completed form to AnnaMarie Scuteri at annamariesta@hotmail.com. This is the ONLY
