" This story the essentiality of its passages,
evokes' catechumen's journey towards the Sacrament Baptism ,
that in the early Church was also called "Enlightenment".
Faith is a journey of enlightenment :
part by the humility to recognize themselves in need of salvation
and arrives at 'personal encounter with Christ,
that calls to follow the path of love.
Nei luoghi di antica evangelizzazione,
dove è diffuso il Battesimo dei bambini,
vengono proposte ai giovani e agli adulti esperienze di catechesi e di spiritualità
che permettono di percorrere un cammino di riscoperta della fede in modo maturo e consapevole,
to then take consistent efforts to witness.
How important is the work that pastors and catechists in this field!
The rediscovery of the value of their Baptism is the basis of the missionary commitment of every Christian ,
because we see in the Gospel that those who allow themselves fascinated by Christ
can not help but witness the joy of following in his footsteps.
Just by virtue of Baptism, we possess an innate missionary vocation .
Benedict XVI Angelus, 29 October 2006
From the Gospel according to Mark from 10.46 to 52.
And they came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, the son of Timaeus, blind, sat by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry and say, "Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me." Many rebuked him, telling him to keep quiet, but he only shouted louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me." Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called the blind man: "Come on! Get up, he is calling you. " He threw aside his cloak, jumped up and went to Jesus Then Jesus said to him: "What you want me to do?". And the blind man to him: "Master, I riabbia la vista!». E Gesù gli disse: «Và, la tua fede ti ha salvato». E subito riacquistò la vista e prese a seguirlo per la strada.
IL COMMENTO
La nostra vita è racchiusa in questo cieco ai bordi d'una via, mendicando qualcosa per vivere. Ci avviciniamo agli altri, parliamo, lavoriamo, facciamo amicizia, siamo mariti, mogli, preti, religiosi, figli e genitori, ma sempre mendicanti . Allunghiamo le mani delle parole, degli sguardi, dei compromessi, delle paure, del detto e non detto, degli ammiccamenti, dei regali e dagli aiuti. Facciamo perfino salti Fatal wonderful charity, just to scrape together a bit 'of love that allows us sfangare another day away from loneliness.
And Jesus passed His Easter its passage shakes his life. Time is passing by me, to you. And 'he who lights the Faith, his footsteps shake the torpor of the heart, and faith is already is already a certainty that He can change our lives. His gait melts our language turns into a cry of supplication dripping with hope, perhaps the last, the only, true.
We can recover their sight, look up and find the open sky, opened the gates of Heaven, now. The Lord ci chiama, ha ascoltato il nostro grido di vera umiltà , "abbi pietà, son morto nei miei peccati, sono schiavo e cieco, tutto mi sembra buio e assurdo, Signore pietà". Il cuore contrito e umiliato, innescato dai Suoi passi ha fatto breccia nel cuore di Cristo, ha bloccato il Signore nel bel mezzo della Sua Pasqua, del Suo passaggio. Ed ecco ci chiama, ci attira fin dentro al Suo cammino dalla morte alla vita. " Che cosa desideri, che cosa vuoi? ". La fede è tutta qui, gridare sapendo, per la luce della Grazia, a Chi chiedere e che cosa chiedere.
La fede che salva è vedere prima con il cuore e la mente. E' un dono celeste che scioglie lips to express the cry of the heart. Want the supreme good, open eyes to see God's love in Christ Jesus Faith saves us, the gift of His great mercy steps today redeem our life reconciled, as beggars in dispensers. For free, just like everything we receive from Him, always. The faith that moves the steps in following the Lord, that makes us look ahead without returning to the past, let the dead bury their dead. The light that opens our eyes to recognize the footsteps of Jesus in front of our steps, traces his love to open our lips to praise. Our life by following the Lord, a liturgy of praise to heaven.

"Master, I may receive my sight '
In thee, O living God,
my heart and my flesh have startled (Ps 84, 3),
and my spirit has rejoiced in you, my true salvation (Lk 1, 47).
When my eyes can see, the God of gods, my God?
When will fill the desire of my soul
with the manifestation of your glory?
My God, of all, you are my inheritance,
my strength and my glory !
When then, instead of the spirit of sadness,
I overlay the mantle of praise (Isaiah 61, 10),
because, combined with the angels,
all my members will offer a sacrifice of joy (Ps. 27, 6)?
Who can describe the glory your majesty?
Who can have enough cover in your light?
How can the eye enough to see you
and the human ear to hear
in admiration of the glory of your face?
How happy, how blessed is he who già
viene custodito dalla gloria del tuo volto !
