Mary filled him with feminine delicacy.
He dreamt about the death of a famous vaticanist, his fellow citizen, twice. Only at his death it was clear that it had been a vision, better, a divine confidence.
The praise to God dispels the demons of impurity.
About purity is not only important self-control but also a realistic dip in one’s feelings, knowing that the “sexual” object is invented by our own subconscious and genes. Reduction favours self-control.
“the Beloved one pastures among lilies.”.
be and let be: this is the vocation of man imago Dei.
Destroy himself and destroy: this is the vocation of man imago Diaboli.
Essismo (from Latin esse, in italian essere, in English be) and not nihilism: here it is the basis of human civility. Basis to be protected and take sleeplessly.
Violence looks like nothing. It is destruction, annihilation in power.
To be means neither destroy oneself, nor destroy the others.
The possible eternity of hell implies, in spite of all, something marvellous: God does not destroy.
Un-easiness is next to Nothingness. Against each idolatry of the Negative and the Cross.
Cross worship, in itself, is not fool but “silly” .
Better the sin than nothingness. Better the hell eternity than apocalypse of annihilation.
We are called to be in any sense, to fight and refuse nothingness in any sense. Nothingness in all its richness, political, social, moral, spiritual and cosmic.
The three meanings of “being”:
a) Being as a contradictory opposition to non-being.
b) Being as a noun: what it is.
c) Being as a verb: act of being.
Nothingness is more than Satan. Here it is the structural root of Christian optimism.
The original sin steps back before the original grace. The sinner has always stepped back before the man who has been beloved, forgiven, saved, since the beginning.
The being, not the natural right.
The reality, the artifice.
The spirit, not the ideology.
Trees be green for the Lord.
Fatima: the Prophet’s favourite daughter’s name. The Prophet was a statesman and a politician. Mary in Fatima daringly encroaches in politics, prophesizing Mikhail Gorbaciov’s perestroika. That she renamed as “conversion”.
Not cosmic nature, but rational nature. Not the cosmos but the reason. Not the natural rights but the rational ones. This is the real area of ethic philosophy.
Ratzinger’s “broad-spectrum” reason is only an ideological trap. It is the supreme deceit of Benedetto XVI’s teaching, that mixes up faith with integral ratio. Men do not have to believe anymore, but reason “broadly”. Catholic ratio is ratio tout court.
Church is a plastic society towards the ruling Pope. It assumes his personality and strategies, except interstitial surprises of the Spirit. A Pope if evangelical is followed not because he is evangelical, but because he is a Pope.
In any desert, in all the deserts, the Messiah’s lunar footprints brightly shine.
Have you seen it? Universes run after His starring feet.
I am thirsty of His thirst. I am His thirst.
The being is analogical, that is modal.
The being, by being, is his ways.
Given that the being in a non-nothing and analogical, the being itself is dark. Eternal, temporal? Only a divine revelation can reveal it to us, at least implicitly and indirectly.
Jesus has never been Saint John of the Cross. He has never experienced the “dark night”. “He could see” the Father. He saw him with his Essence, his Reason, will and listen. A unique anthropological condition.
Has Liberation theology been calumniated, misunderstood, or at least not understood as Marxist theology?
can Western theology of well-ness understand south American theology of bad-ness?
“Eternal being” is not immediately contradictory. Contingency thesis of the being has the same theoretic dignity of eternity thesis of the being.
The immediate evidence of the being is not the evidence either of eternity or the contingency of the being.
Our intelligence and heart long for the divine revelation.
Nihilism des not belong to us. Being: this is our destiny.
A multitude of angels (not infinite angels). A multitude of temperaments.
Michael, the angel of supreme fight, was becoming his intrinsic angel.
Authentic faith hates vulgar fundamentalism. The real faith is fundamentalist in its most beautiful sense. It is the pleasure, the taste, the delight of fundament.
Penetrating faith, tasting, catching, mainly revealing. What a gift, such a faith.
As the body becomes debris, the spirit shines.
To be able to cut the cover of things with the laser of the faith, a faith that glimpses and sees already on earth. A believing vision, a prophesying faith.
Mary in Her person merges several conditions of life: girlfriend, bride, wife, virgin, mother of the Unique, prolific mother, widow, disciple, teacher of disciples. Mary is a manifold, is the feminine manifold. No feminine and ecclesial dimension is sacrificed in Her, thanks to the “spiritual” church of the origins.
Women are actively present for the Eucharistic sacrifice of the Last Supper, for the cruel sacrifice of the Golgotha, for the unique Sacrifice.
Eucharist is bound to home, so to ministry, to deaconry of women.
Future glory is the answer of God to theodicy.
Over the last times, the present ones, Mary is and will be, in a leading way, the messenger of Christ.
The fatimic “devotion to the Immaculate Heart” is the spirituality offered by God to the men of our times, but it has to be meant in the right way: projected towards the Father through Christ in Spirit and in, His disciple and bride, real image of the Church.
Salvation is mainly in the future. Salvation is a global event.
Every tear will be dried, even the non-human one.
Synchronic with apostasy, faith will glow.
Pentecost of last times will be more resounding, glowing and overwhelming than the first Pentecost. Spirit and Love will burn as never before.
“Ravished” by Jesus? This is only a mere image compared to the greatness of the Event.
Cosmic Apocalypse will explode, and will involve everybody: the righteous and unrighteous. But the first, even atheist, will be grabbed away from its last end.
Fire and ice, love and selfishness, in their utter condition, will be the face-antiface of the last times.
