G.I.S.A. GRUPPO ITALIANO SAN ATANASIO PRESENTA
L’ANNUALE BALLO IN ONORE DI SAN GIUSEPPE
Dal nostro DIACONO DANTE COLANDREA
Riflessione del mese di marzo
DIGIUNARE
(Jean Galot)
Fa' digiunare il nostro cuore:
che sappia rinunciare a tutto quello che l'allontana
dal tuo amore, Signore, e che si unisca a te
più esclusivamente e più sinceramente.
Fa' digiunare il nostro orgoglio,
tutte le nostre pretese, le nostre rivendicazioni,
rendendoci più umili e infondendo in noi
come unica ambizione, quella di servirti.
Fa' digiunare le nostre passioni,
la nostra fame di piacere,
la nostra sete di ricchezza,
il possesso avido e l'azione violenta;
che nostro solo desiderio sia di piacerti in tutto.
Fa' digiunare il nostro io,
troppo centrato su se stesso, egoista indurito,
che vuol trarre solo il suo vantaggio:
che sappia dimenticarsi, nascondersi, donarsi.
Fa' digiunare la nostra lingua,
spesso troppo agitata, troppo rapida nelle sue repliche,
severa nei giudizi, offensiva o sprezzante:
fa' che esprima solo stima e bontà.
Che il digiuno dell'anima,
con tutti i nostri sforzi per migliorarci,
possa salire verso di te come offerta gradita,
meritarci una gioia più pura, più profonda.
“L’angolo della Sapienza”
I VERI AMICI DI FRONTE AGLI ERRORI

I veri amici vedono i tuoi errori e ti avvertono;
i falsi amici vedono allo stesso modo

LA
PALABRA
March 6, 2016
ENTRE SE ACERCA LA SEMANA SANTA ., ESTAS
PREPARADO?
Cada año acostumbramos por epoca de
cuaresma como tradición hacer lo que se llama
vigilia durante todos los Viernes de Cuaresma y
durante los dias Santos del Triduo Pascual;pero
en realidad esa vigilia ejerze en ti algun cambio o
algo en tu vida ha mejorado a partir de esta
vigilia ?
En la conocida parabóla del hijo prodigo , el hermano
mayor siempre fue libre , pero actuaba como si fuera
libre , pero actuaba como si fuera asalariado de su
padre. Es cierto que no se fue lejos con parte del
dinero de la familia, como su hermano menor, pero
su falta de entendimiento le costó caro. Lleno de envidia y rencor le sacó en cara a su padre que nunca
había podído dar una fiesta para sus amigos, pero sin
darse cuenta de que su padre jamás le había negado El fin de semana pasado miraba en una pagina
nada. Si se lo hubiera pedido , habría tenido todo lo Católica en el internet que decía la mejor vigilia
que quisiera perder la oportunidad de amar y recibir
es dejar de comer lo que nos hace daño , pero
amor.
A cuántos de nosotros nos sucede algo parecido?
Dios nos ha dicho “todo lo que tengo es tuyo” , pero
no le creemos y tratamos de ser mejores para
merecer el favor de Dios. Nos portamos como
asalariados, no hijos ni herederos de Dios. Y por
tener un concepto tan mezquino de nuestra propia
vida, no llegamos a experimentar el amor inefable de
nuestro padre celestial.
Qué bueo sería darse cuenta de lo extremadamente
generoso que es nuestro Señor. A veces uno piensa
que a Dios solamente le interesan los hijos pródigos,
que toda su misericordia y milagros se los tiene
reservado a ellos.
Y se olvida de los que han procurado ser fieles toda
la vida. Esto es absolutamente falso ! El padre te ama
de la misma manera a los que son “hijos mayores”
Dios nos tiene reservada a todos una herencia eterna
que viene con promesas y bendiciones que podemos
empezar a aprovechar desde ahora mismo, en esta
vida. Ya es hora de dejar de pensar en nuestra
salvación depende de lo que hagamos con un sentido
de deber o por temor , y entender que Dios nos ama
sin reservas y que nunca dejará de hacerlo; lo que a
nosotros nos toca hacer es reconocer ese amor y
alabar a Dios y compartir ese amor con los
demás.
luego continuaba diciendo no comida regular sino dejar de hablar mal del projimo , dejar de criticar , dejar de quejarnos de nuestra propia vida,
procurar hacer el bien y dedicarnos mas a hacer
las obras de Misericordia para ayudar al projimo.
Jesús nos invita en esta Cuaresma para que nos
preparemos de la mejor manera para
celebrar junto con el estos dias Santos donde
llegaremos a la gloria de la Resurrección y junto
con Maria Madre de Dios y Madre Nuestra
recibiremos el perdon y la Misericordia infinita en
este año jubilar.
