“the kingdom of the Father is spread all over the earth but the men cannot see it”. Gospel of Tommaso (n.113).

Paolo talks about his “stigmata”, but does not show them. At the same time the carthusian. He only talks about it, in the light of the Whole, without any idolatrous accents, with the special worship given to the supernatural “creatures”.

All the thoughts of the carthusian were dictated with a great effort to an autistic man, the only person generously available.

The sin can be seen only in the light of the Light, in the light of God-Love, and Love-God, not in the light of a lawgiver or mosaic God.

The little boys-girls “intersexual” (with both sexes) must not undergo surgical operations immediately, but given to themselves, to the sex preference that one day they will find out and feed, they will have to decide the right path for themselves.

The ill M.Q., physical witness of pain, real witness of the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus for her contemporaries and descendants.

M.Q. has never talked about “visions” but about “Visits” of the Trinity: terms uch more realistic, better real.

M.Q., far from the media spotlights, deep in the silence of men, deep in the Word of God.

Very many people who want to change their sex but cannot, commit suicide.

With a cognitive trepidation we must get close to other two human phenomena: zoophily and necrophilia.

We have to listen to the whole being, not just some regions of it. We are asked to understand, reason, measure and choose. It is not always possible to choose. The suicide of the “patient”, in those ethically shocking cases, is not the solution to the problem. We need new heuristic efforts.

Love, like a mother, has to respect the most difficult bends of the being. We have to sympathise with those who, in these anthropologically extreme cases, cannot, despite the efforts, get over it.

Southern Apulia and Sardinia seem to be horribly candidates to host atomic plants. Which need a lot of water, (river or sea) and an earthquake proof land.

About M.Q. the carthusian remembers the physical light, the witty intelligence, the smiling irony, a laser sight, the passion for God, the great sobriety, relevance of the jokes, her smile, her spirit, the depth of her prayer, the intimacy with the Three Divine, which she called “my Family” with a new and untouched joy. Her literal passion for the “Sky”, the embodiment of the Faith ( always with capital letters), which let her confess: vertical is my line. Her delicate and happy living in the supernatural, her subtle cheerfulness of the Song of Songs, her physical and environmental Golgotha, which sometimes forced her to admit: my soul is in the darkness. Adding then: my spirit shines. Easter swallow among the world thorn bushes, it is incognita, one of the mothers of today’s mankind. Though in hospital, she has travelled in the Love and Freedom of God, interceding on the Earth’s behalf and, if it had been possible on the Hell’s behalf. Limitless heart without any measure, icon of the Infinity in the hard finiteness and preciseness of the Nazareth hospital. God will make your silence a boom of Life.
