walking Meanwhile, do not stop ... then heal! This is the message of Luke 17.11-19 synthesis.
The song struck me in a few details that I had never noticed. First, while Jesus is "to Jerusalem, through Samaria and Galilee, as it comes in a village he was met by ten lepers, which stood at a distance, raised their voices, saying:" Jesus, Master, have mercy of us "." The lepers were then used to escape if someone approaches them or ring the bell to warn of their presence to the danger of contagion, but "he was met"! In my heart, I thought of a sentence from an unnamed father of the desert that I often say: "As you learn to do without men, men will realize that they can not do without you."
Who are the people that everyone rush? The Saints!
When you find a person capable of transmitting divine joy, peace, wise advice or deep listening, love well, all rush in from them. In my ministry alive continuous road missions in search of people wherever they are, but maybe we should all Christians to be so intimately united with Jesus, so filled with his presence, so by His indwelling Spirit, so capable of doing it live in us dying to ourselves that we all flock to him wherever we find it If I die a little every day 'to myself more of God dwells in me fully. The few times I did I experienced how the people you're looking for, why not cute or funny, but because I seek the One who can not only live in our hearts if we let them, but let us become a "source of water welling up to the 'eternity. "
A second point has shown me Jesus to the lepers, saying: "Go show yourselves to the priests."
Often we go anywhere we want immediate solution, we would like to direct reports. Jesus tells us instead of going by the priests despite them has often compared and criticized! How much pride in me in those times that I have criticized the Church and priests. Just go, trust, obey ... to realize that the journey, while stumbling, I find healing: "And as they went, they were cleansed."
A final issue is the faith of the lepers. "Rise and go; your faith saved. "
I could go lepers healed by priests only if they certify that their health restored to reintegrate into society. Obey the command of Jesus was illogical: they were still sick ... but trust His Word and go. How many times the torments of rationality prevail on faith, but are not suitable for this journey, but how do I do this, but I am a poor sinner, but it will never be faithful as a wife or husband, but they are not able to live etc etc ... the priesthood
rather than to switch on our meandering thoughts ...
... come on!
... run!
... We live!
If we walk in the path indicated by the Word in the Gospel beyond the limits and falls along the path we shall be healed.
Cardinal Martini said to trust only the priests who, having been ordered young people, had at least 40 years of priesthood this because it takes time because it takes root within us "abitus the interior" of the priest . The ego must be re-programmed and it takes time and perseverance.
not worry about the fall, not to stumble across mettiamocela, will be better for us, but rialziamoci always and continue to be holy fathers and mothers holy, holy priests and lay people ... holy saints, or anything!
