Hello dear friends of the blog, here I am back from the Eternal City (Rome). I experienced moments of excitement. The emotions are very important because they stimulate my creativity, I suggest images, situations, even color and pains ... but sometimes the emotions become limits, for example, an observation that others give me, a comment that I disagree. This stops me, it causes an emotional reaction. However I can say that my life is imbued in some way determined by emotions. The same inspiration for my songs, words and music, born of emotion, sometimes looking for, sometimes you arrive. And the music is first and foremost, the His plays, especially when excited to join the music to prayer. There are times that I am aware that it is undignified to let go, but it certainly helps to live better, sometimes it is better to throw it out, do not control their emotions and expressions in full, at the risk of appearing ridiculous or insane and thus avoid to internalize and might suffer without being able to express ourselves. I feel free to express my emotions. The thing that excites me more than ever is being with my Lord, I am so excited to be with him when his gaze of love is projected toward me overcome all my fears. It is He who gave me a gift this almost overwhelming joy "madness" of love. He says: Rekindle the gift of God that is within you (2 Tim 1: 6) Jesus teaches us to discover and to 'use the gifts God has given us. He calls them talents. Today we call them gifts. Certainly each of us is a container for gifts - perhaps even unexplored and unknown even to ourselves - like Mary who is "the seat of wisdom, temple of the Holy Spirit, eternal glory tabernacle, the sanctuary of the divine presence" but you only knew "humble servant" of the Lord All of us should ask ourselves: What does the jar of my existence? Sometimes there are others who are aware of our gifts.
But it is important and fundamental to our spiritual dimension to know and recognize the gifts that God has given us because from there begins a journey of gratitude, praise and thanksgiving: a journey of the Eucharist, "Benedict are You, Lord, God of the universe, we have received from your hands ... I present to you ...
The discovery of our gifts we put in proper perspective: things are not ours, but by our own merits God, of His hands.
Each of us must discover how God's gift to whether himself to the world, their loved ones and those who benefit from our services made possible by our gifts that grow in us as we spend for them.
The gift is to recognize and discover God, His power, His power, His holiness. In the face of His gifts we fall on your knees and take off your shoes, in the adoration of His greatness and His glory. already seeing God's work is a gift: Moses saw the burning bush, we see the finger of God upon us, the work of His hands, the traces of His glory and His divinity.
The see it puts us in a state of awe and wonder and we say that the four living Apocalypse: Holy, holy, holy , the Lord
God the Almighty, the One who was, is and who is . And with us four elders fell down and worshiped One who lives forever and ever saying. You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power, for Thou hast created all things, and by Your will they were created and there (Rev 4, 8 - 11).
our gifts become a scale that introduces us to the wonder, and praise and gives us a glimpse of the wonders of God
us to discover His greatness and His goodness.
It makes us to experience His Holiness.
we say: You only the Holy One, You alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High God ... Lord of the universe, the heavens and earth are full of Your glory proclaim your death, Lord, we proclaim your resurrection.
Sometimes we are more inclined to see what we lack, rather than half-empty bottle to enjoy what we have.
Our commitment and our responsibility lie in be guided by the gifts, and gifts to God to expansion of the gifts, their multiplication and dissemination, to fill the world the gifts of God "are pale the best man's dreams." (Elizabeth Barret Browning)
and go through our gifts from the contemplation of gift of God which is the other and that is in the contemplation of God
and contemplate Jesus as the gift of the Father: image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by through him were created all things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible ... All things were created through him and for him. He is before all things and in him all things hold together ... For God was pleased to do all the fullness dwell in him.
(Col 1, 15 - 19)
With the gift of faith you can also come to the paradox of how a gift of suffering and testing: you have been granted the grace not only to believe in Christ, but also to suffer for him .
(Phil. 1, 29)
The Gift received and acknowledged us and teaches us to open a gift. Makes us a gift and a gift becomes all that we have. Every gift then is the way to the discovery of other gifts. Every gift is not alone, but opens the door to a succession of gifts.
In faith there is nothing more than the gift.
YOUR GIUSY FICARRA
