The look of husband, wife and children

The look of Theresia

Many times the climate in our families become stormy with several clouds of anger that are raised in our day.
Winds of rigid impositions on children and rumble of thunder roaring protests.
Then comes the usual hail of words ice, frustrating every patient education, ruining the shoots of the relationship between parents and children, up to spoil the peace between husband and wife.
What is most worrying is the continuing bad weather.
At times it.s better to look at the sky, study it in a hurry and run for cover, knowing that each of us is also heaven for others.
I look a wife, I look a children and their sky, as deep, it takes us eye.
All of them are immersed: live it, day after day, and it is processed and it is mutual.
With our eyes, we are the sculptors of other people and share responsibility for the beauty of those around us.
We have an enormous power to look creative, able to shape the profile of one who gives us confident his heart.
Change the look to the children or a spouse mean really see it better.
It's difficult, upsetting and sometimes painful, but this can transform lives and bring back the good weather.

Happy Easter joy of the the resurrected

Happy Easter

So many thoughts were heard in these days, I stop just to the term "transition".

Easter is the change from all that is evil and makes you feel bad, all that is good and does well.

Easter means pass from sorrow to joy, to pass from death to life, passing from slavery to freedom, go from disgrace to grace.

The crucified and risen Jesus who builds the bridge over the abyss and that's why we speak of the Lord's Passover!

Easter is the almighty power of God attached and accessible to each of us.

The Passover of the Lord is the energy of Almighty God, who created everything that exists, now applied to heal every wound has been inflicted by human beings and transform any evil has entered into human life or lurks in the heart of every man.

Why is the Lord's Passover is effective in us, we must have the courage to lose the previous one because there is a transition to a new one.

So the hope that enter our lives the light of a new life.

Holy Saturday: silence and the tomb

Holy Saturday: silence and the tomb

Holy Saturday is the day when each of us stop in front of the tomb and also remembers all the love ones who lie like him in the same place; is a day of silence and absence.

Jesus and I miss my love ones; there is no Eucharist : the empty tabernacle is a blow to the heart.

And for a little, but enough to make me understand what my life would be if it was not always so.

So I like to say, we are now paused.

Jesus rested in the tomb, each type of task is finished is dead, it seems there is nothing more to do.

As the silence surrounds the meaning of the word, so the break preserves the meaning of the action. 

The act without pausing to action devalues ​​himself; to any kind of act : even the Church to action.

If you stop working when you do not know what to do and you get the fear of emptiness and nothing you seem so interesting and 'full' as they work, it means that you are already poisoned.

So it is with the Church; when to close the oratory, do not meet , do not pray, do not celebrate just seems empty, then it means that the Church already lost the meaning of what he does.

If life is music, music is rhythm and pauses.

Holy Saturday teaches us to take breaks: break in relations with others, break with his own anxieties, fun and rest break in, break even in prayer.

On the seventh day God created the rest and pause.

For our lives and for our faith this teaching of Holy Saturday is not trivial.

Live in our house

Live in our house

Where is our house?

Our house is where the heart is , where is the head, where you can find the warmth and understanding.

Even when you are away from house, you can take with you anywhere , because the house is the place where you understand and if one side are the people around you that make a difference , are you, that you have to choose which you want to be understood, that you want to remove your house from the suitcase, with everything that's in it , and choose a corner of the earth to support it and start to live there and slowly allow people to approach and help you take care of it.

Of course to do all that there is need to meet the smile of a people, to find that a friend can hide anywhere, and that in time of need , even if the language creates problems, you have someone to talk to and someone who can help you.

If you try these things and live these sensation your heart fills more and you can't help but think about it and want to live next to these people.

It took me a bit of time and a lot of life lived to see that our home is a smell, a voice, a smile.

Delicacy in judgments

Delicacy in judgments (Marco, Paolo, Mauro, John)

Delicacy in judgments, in the way we do and say. 

Perhaps the word delicacy is failing our environments and in our communities. 

How nice to get into the life of each toe to toe with the greatest courtesy and respect, then we are letting the days go by to ripen great friendships, to grow a passion for being neighbors and brother. 

Unfortunately, most of the time instead we're getting used to being invaded, violated by anyone who comes into your life just to gossip, to steal something or someone and to use you. 

Strong words that are contrary to the purity and delicacy in dealing with others. 

I hope that these words come into the heart of each and may bring the right inner change and sensitivity towards anyone around us.

De facto couples and family

De facto couples and family: Children?

In these last times there is nothing to discuss de facto couples, equality, divorce, but no one tal about love, of growth, of respect, of education.

Perhaps it's to recover these dimensions to be credible to the younger generation, do not increase the break-up and make the whole reason for controversy and argument for newspapers and television.

True love has a heart who is smaller, who is helpless, who should really be protected, stop accusing us with one another, saying okay so it has always been so and instead begin to look in the eyes and tell us what can I do for the younger generation? What am I doing right now?

Let us not put the love for the children ones tomorrow may be too late.

The courage to change

The courage to change

These days I found myself talking to many people who are unhappy with their lives that are however not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned by an ephemeral security, conformism, conservatism, all of which seem apparently give you peace of mind, but in reality for the adventurous spirit of each of us there is nothing more devastating than to have no future.

The center of the vital spirit of each people is his passion for adventure.

The joy of living comes from new experiences and hence there is no greater happiness of having a horizon of constant change, the lie every day under a new and different sun.

Not that we have to find the courage to go against the usual lifestyle and throw us into an existence unconventional.

Our time is short, so do not have to waste.

Let us not be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

Don't let the noise of others opinions drown out our inner voice.

We find the courage to follow our heart and our intuition.

The world is in the hands of those who dare to dream and take the chance to live their dreams.

The house in the heart

The house in the heart

Our emotions, our passions all starts from our hearts and from where we want them to leave. 

Our true house is in fact where you will find our heart.
We may be close to any people, but if our heart is somewhere else near each becomes far.
The board is to decide our course and face the sea of ​​life that is not always calm and quiet, treasuring the advice of friends and not abandoning the people who really love us and leave us alone.

The memories

The memories

Let's stop for a moment, remembering how many wonderful moments we have lived and will live. 

Of course, the memories can sometimes hurt so many times and you continue to ride this pain without wanting to change destination. 

You can go far, but nothing of what you have in mind and heart can never leave far enough. 

Memories that are made of photos, names, letters, tickets to concerts, ball games, trains, airplanes, subways Europe. 

Gifts of past love and diaries when I was a child and first boy then.

What I do for my brother

What I do for my brother

The most persistent and urgent question of life is: What I do for my brother close? 

Of one thing I am sure each of us, can never appreciate the sunny days if you have not experienced before rainy days and as it passes through the darkness all the more relished the moments of light. 

So instead of cursing the darkness and continue to live in this situation it is better to light a candle.

Each of us is called to decide whether to walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness. 

Open to others, knowing how to give and share, make that the light of your heart turns on and everything takes a different color. 

Illuminate our lives and making heating heat from the heat of the people who are nearby.

The sweat

The sweat

Few people mention the sweat and I want to offer my little reflections. 

Easy and smooth is to choose the path of evil, a flat road and we very close, but the gods have placed sweat in front of the virtues is indeed long and hard at the beginning is a simple path, sour and slightly marked, but when it comes the peak becomes easier and you are lucky enough to discover another world. 

One thing is for sure along the way avoids bringing in the heart of envy, rather than begrudge continues to walk and build with your sweat. 

In fact, if everyone lived by the sweat of the brow, the earth would become a paradise.

Reflections on goodness

Reflections on goodness

Today I want to offer some reflections and thoughts on the goodness, which I found really interesting. 

I think your wisdom only when it comes from the heart, and your goodness only when it comes from reason. 

Arthur Schnitzler, The book of sayings and reflections 1927

Goodness is the only investment that never fails. 

Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1854

What seasoning is necessary for all the goodness! The best virtues without goodness is worthless, with the worst vices redeem it. 

Lev Tolstoy, Journals, 1847-1910

There can be no goodness, kindness, goodness, but there is no courtesy. 

Voldben Amadeus (Amadeus Rotondi), Thoughts for a peaceful life, 2008

Enzo and his sea

Enzo and his sea

The wonder of this great departure from heaven which is called death , is that those who leave do not stray. I'm in a world of clarity , but assist , softened witness to our world.

The beauty of death, is the presence. Inexpressible presence of loved ones, smiling with tears in our eyes.

The dead are invisible, but not absent.

(Victor Hugo )

My first reaction to the news of the death of Enzo in Capraia was: Noooooo ... not possible.

Then I calmed down and thought to the many moments with him in Capraia, its life lessons, his fishing lessons.

Always ready, always hospitable and in the forefront to better prepare for the feast of Our Lady August 15 and always perfect.

How could this happen, your family needs you ....

Then I listened to my heart and I have found his presence, his thoughts, his sea.

Enzo protect all fishermen from the sky like you, watch over your family....

It will not be easy....

We now carry your example, your words and listen again as we speak in the heart.

Marco, you are close to Giorgio, your father is counting on you do relive every gesture you make.

Stefania: another try really hard in your life path. Remember not leave you alone even if now maybe this sentence will seem a dagger.

Iole : mom gold he called you ... thank you so your prayers for all of us ... another tough cross.

Good, peace and love

 The Pope Francesco

 The preacher was late.

In the chapel of the convent, the nuns waiting had come to the fifteenth mystery of the Rosary, when the doorbell rang the reception.

Breathless, the preacher apologized to the superior embarrassed saying that awaited her: "I'm sorry, Mother, but I could not prepare myself".

"No matter", replied politely superior.

"You talk nonsense as well".

The most spoken language in the world is "nonsense". 

Billions of words, every day, we invest, pierce us, suffocate us.

Being able to speak is a great gift, but it should not be wasted by continuing to pronounce words.

The best word is the silence and the silence is nourished by clear words, true, essential that come from the heart and speak only of good, peace and love.

Sings to the life

Sings to the life

Sings to the life with an open heart and willing to accept and help all the people you meet.

There are those who will read like an open book, who closes like a book you read, who do you write like a white paper, those who have lost the bookmark, those who wanted to read you, but the emotions were not in balance, how were you thumbed and placed on the shelf, who you brought home and placed in the library.

Maybe someday someone will read seriously, from the cover to the last page, and it takes you with him as the most precious gift.

Time leaves of the questions, the answers show, clarifies doubts, but above all brings us the truth.

I support the World

Bird support the World

Sometimes it is believed to be the only ones, that without us, nobody can do anything, we are all useful, but none are essential.
We always use a lot of humility and do things with my heart this is the attitude that we all worthwhile.
Listen to this story.
A little bird lying on its back, stretched toward the sky, rigid, both paws.
Another bird flew beside him and asked in surprise: "What are you doing?
Why are you lying so paws up? Did something happen? "
Without moving, the first bird replied, "with my legs I support the sky, if I move and pick up the legs, the sky falls down."
At that moment, from a nearby tree broke off a leaf that fell to the ground, fast and silent.
The bird was frightened a lot. He stood up and took off, fast.
The sky, of course, remained at his post.

A special good night everyone

Good night special

My hope is good night to those who read my reflections and appreciate my simple thoughts.
Good night to people that I could touch it, look into her eyes and hugging, what I have called by name and always retain a place in my heart.
Good night to those who pass by chance, to those seeking a meaning to the words, who takes away a thoughts to those who pass through the nights between the lines, who still managed to leave something of themselves, to those who have left a mark in my book of life, and those who do not feel it's there.
