I wish that we could all have Easter eyes
capable of looking
into death, until we see life,
into the hurts, until we see forgiveness,
into separation, until we see unity,
into the wounds, until we see glory,
into the human person, until we see God,
into God, until we see the human person,
into Myself until I see You.
And in addition to this, to see the power of Easter!
(Easter 1993)

Listen to your conscience
Two families from Vicenza (Italy) had an intense and deeply meaningful experience in Bolivia, coming into direct contact with the remote support projects promoted by Azione Famiglie Nuove (AFN). It was not simply a visit, but an immersion in the daily life of people who, every day, transform solidarity into opportunities for renewal and hope.
The risen Jesus gives the disciples peace and joy and entrusts them with his very own mission. The Holy Spirit “recreates” them as a new humanity and this vocation, today, concerns not only each of us, but is fully realized when we are “community” and support for the other.This is how the Gospel becomes life and the mission a new Pentecost.
A group of children in Rome collected 300 euros for the Audio Phonetic Rehabilitation Institute (IRAP) located in Aïn, on the outskirts of Biakout, north of Beirut. They received a very touching letter of thanks. It reminds us of the true value of solidarity and the responsibility to which each of us is called: to be seeds of hope and peace even in the darkness.
Good inspired thoughts if put into practice to transform .
