Looking at the pictures of the Jubilee, which took place June 29 with a solemn Mass in the crypt of the Shrine "Queen of the Apostles, chaired by Don Silvio Sassi, superior general of the SSP, the Pauline Family in Rome celebrated the jubilees of 25 °, 50, 60 years of ordination to the priesthood and religious life of its members. In the introduction to the celebration was pointed out that "To celebrate the jubilee of ordination to the priesthood or consecrated life is to celebrate God's faithfulness in the life of people called and institutions to which we belong. " At the end of the ceremony all those present received a lamp to draw the fire of the Spirit, a spirit of power and love and wisdom, so that they can each day to spread this light to those in their path. I would like to enter into the mystery of the way, question the standing of my brothers and sisters, to hear from them the trouble of going. Talk to walk, you reverse the sign of modernity and progress. You are walking a pilgrimage of Charity in the Truth. The Bible sings the praises Foot: How beautiful are the feet of those who bring a good news. It helps us to discover and read the message of the human foot, to understand the poem, to put ourselves in contemplation of the role and service of your feet: How beautiful are the feet miracle of the dreamer and contemplative!
bare foot pain of Christ on the way to Calvary, to the land you paid your contribution terrible scorn. Foot of Christ carrying the excess weight of all the petty human embodied in the tree, I recognize you in the foot of my brothers. Earth tell us about the feet of the poor, let us read the message carved on your face. How much pain you have known, how many people you welcomed exhausted and dying! You certainly have experienced the pain and suffering and you have softened the contact of your children mad with grief. What did you do to relieve the pain? What did you do with tears and blood 'you know so many things - silent witness of pain not specified - you saw, you heard, you touched, you made one, you combined with the pain. Who has had a more intimate contact with human suffering?
Shoes! You are the gap and overcoming the pain, you give back the stolen dignity, in helping to discover the fugitive to be more of a body and not just the body. High man from the earth, the ridate a spiritual dimension. Shoes donated, human sacrifice, you give a softer light and life, given human bodies. You are the first fruits of the Jubilee Year, which open doors to life and love, a gift of mercy and compassion, reconciliation among people and nations. How beautiful are the shoes of the poor! How beautiful are donated shoes that cover and conceal the past stories of death and mud! Blessed are those who have caught the cry of pain of the foot and destroyed ideally wanted to kneel down to kiss the feet formless aspect, clusters of pain, to put on the block the view of God's love on hands while Jesus washes the feet of Judas, setting and taking in the tenderness and delicacy that image of God to man. In Jesus' gesture is all sacred history and the Alliance. I shudder to think of the feet of Judas in the hands of Jesus might have caressed them with more love, but rebelled against his nature, his hands were trembling. I would not want to find myself in the place of Judas! He must have had the instinct to withdraw his foot, fixed, run away, crying, screaming. Blood will have risen to the head: roar for the thrill of my heart ( Ps 38 (37), 9). Yet for his insane project remains there to desecrate a gesture of love. Out of fear, perhaps, to unfold and reveal his plan, does not put forward any objections or waste as Peter.
computer coldness of the human heart, which burns all good! The senses of the heart, eyes, ears, are lowered. It turns out the light of my eyes ( Ps 38 (37), 11 ). Her eyes are blurred. E 'blinded, stunned, his heart is frozen: my spirit languishes within me, it freezes my heart ... I stand before you as parched land ( Ps 143 (142), 4. 6). He does not feel, does not see, feel, does not see Jesus! Before his eyes are only 30 dinars. Jesus people, friends, God, is worth less money. Li has been cold, those feet, Jesus, ice cream from a heart stopped! There was no man in those feet were inert, non man reproach of men, ( Sl 22 [21] 7). I extended my hand every day to a rebellious people ( Is 65, 2 ). If your heart burns with love, the world will die of cold (Bernanos). Those feet have frozen your heart!
Jesus have heated them with your hands, like a friend who is dying of exposure: where sin abounded, grace has overflowed ( Rm 5, 10 ). In those feet all the rest are human coldness. Jesus moment for the thickness of eternity. In a flash, in those feet all the way the Bible reads: entered into your inheritance the nations, they have defiled your holy temple, have reduced Jerusalem to rubble ( Ps 79 [78], 1 ). The God who fashioned and made the earth and made it stable, has created not a waste, but has shaped it to be inhabited ( Isaiah 45, 18 ) is found between the hands those feet, the primeval chaos .. His heart cried tears secret on those feet as he wept over Jerusalem I devoured with zeal for your house, because my enemies forget your words ... Rivers of tears run down from my eyes because they do not keep Your law ( Sl 119 (118 ) 139 . 131).
lace curtains whoever attacks your life, plot pitfalls those who seek my ruin, and meditate deceits all day ... I repay good with evil, accuse me because I seek the good ( Sl 38 [37] 13. 21).
What is man that you remember the man that you care for him? ( Sl 8, 3 ).
meditate iniquity, shall carry out their plots, a chasm is the man and his heart is an abyss ( Ps 64 [63], 7). Man is like a breath, his days are like a passing shadow ( Ps 144 [143], 4 ). You have made him little less than God, glory and honor you crowned him, put all things under his feet ( Ps 8, 6-7 ). was not overcome by evil but overcome evil with good ( Rm 12, 21 ).
No one else has noticed those feet, perhaps no one else had taken them in his hands and had supervised the rigidity and coldness, sullenness and self-sociability.
For him they are holy, relics of creation, the work of God's hands: like clay in the potter's hand so are you in my hands the (Ger 18, 6 ). The Lord God formed man of dust from the ground ... and man became a living being ( Gen 2, 7 ).
The recall meeting with the sinner, his feet in his hands: Weeping began to wet with tears, then wiped them with her hair, kissed them and anointed them with ointment ... Simone Thou gavest me no kiss, but this woman since I entered has not ceased to kiss my feet ( Lk 7, 38. 45).
The stench of sin The heart of Judas brings to mind the the jar of ointment of pure nard, very precious The suffused with which the feet, and the memory of that fragrance of the ointment which filled the whole house (cf. Jn 12.3 ).
My faith, (supported by the liturgical feast of Holy Thursday), under the image and makes me see her kiss the feet of Judas. Scene of the improbable, the paradox of God, I remain astonished in front of the inexhaustible resources of His greatness! Just wonder can win our hearts, upsetting the insensitivity, win the resistance of the human heart!
