Sunday of the Samaritan woman - II of Lent - March 20, 2011
READING Reading the Book of Exodus 20, 2-24
in those days. / The Lord spoke to Moses and said: / I am the Lord your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from slavery: / Thou shalt have no other gods before me. You shall not make an idol or any likeness of what is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the waters under the earth. You shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing his kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord thy God, the Lord will not leave guiltless who misuses his name. Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it. Six working days and do all your work, but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: Do not do any work, neither you nor your son or your daughter, your manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea and what is in them, but rested the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and consecrated it. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. / Thou shalt not kill. / Thou shalt not commit adultery. / You shall not steal. / You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his manservant nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that belongs to your neighbor. " All the people perceived the thunder and lightning, the sound of the horn and the mountain smoking. The people saw it, was seized with fear and kept away. So they said to Moses, "Speak thou to us and we will listen, but do not tell us about God, otherwise die. " Moses said unto the people: "Do not be afraid: God has come to test you, and because his fear is always on you and not sin." The people held so far, while Moses walked toward the dark cloud where God was the Lord said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the Israelites:" You have seen that I spoke from the sky! You shall not make gods of silver and gods of gold next to me: do not do it for you! You will make me an altar of earth over it and you offer your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen: in every place where I will want to remember my name, I will come to you and bless you '. "
Psalm Ps 18 (19)
® Lord, you alone have the words of eternal life.
The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul
;
the Lord's command is clear, enlightening the eyes
. ®
The fear of the Lord is pure,
remains forever;
the judgments of the Lord is faithful,
are all right. ®
you are like the words of my mouth;
in front of you the thoughts of my heart,
Lord is my rock and my redeemer. ®
EPISTLE
Letter of Paul to the Ephesians 1, 15-23
Brothers, have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and love you for all the saints, constantly give thanks to you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him, his eyes light up your heart to make you hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the effectiveness of its strength and its force. He manifested in Christ, / when he raised him from the dead / and made him sit at his right hand in heaven / above all rule and power, / over all strength and Domination / And every name that is named / not only in the present but also in the future. / All because he has put his feet / and gave it to the church as head over all things: / it is his body, / the fullness of him who is the perfect fulfillment of all things.
GOSPEL
Reading of the Gospel according to John 4, 5-42
at that time. The Lord Jesus came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph was here a well of Jacob. So Jesus, wearied by the journey, sat at the well. It was about noon. Comes a woman of Samaria to draw water. The Jesus says: "Give me a drink." His disciples had gone into town to buy food. Then the Samaritan woman said to him: "How is it that you, a Jew, ask drink of me, a woman of Samaria?". For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus replied: "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that says," Give me a drink, 'you would have asked him and he would have given you living water. " The woman says, "Lord, you have a bucket and the well is deep: where do you get that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself with his children and his cattle? ". Jesus replied: "Whoever drinks of this will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I shall give him will never thirst for ever. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. " "Lord - he says the woman - give me this, because I do not thirst, nor come here to draw water." He says: 'Go call your husband and come here. " The woman replied: "I have no husband." The Jesus says: "You said it well:" I have no husband. " You have had five husbands and he whom you now is not your husband: you have said is true. " The woman said, "Lord, I see that you are a prophet! Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place to worship. " Jesus said: "Believe me, woman, comes the time when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father. You worship what you do not know, we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour - and it is this - when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth: this is what the Father wants them to be those who worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth. " The woman answered: "I know that Messiah is coming, called Christ: when he will, we will announce everything. " The Jesus says: "I who speak with you." Just then his disciples returned and were surprised that he spoke with a woman. None, however, said, "What are you doing?" Or, "What are you talking with her?". The woman then left her pitcher, went into town to tell the people, "Come see a man who told me everything I did. That he is the Christ? ". They left the city and came to him. Meanwhile the disciples besought him, "Rabbi, eat." He answered them: "I have food to eat that ye know not." The disciples said to one another, "Someone has probably led to eat? ". Jesus said unto them, My meat is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish his work. You do not say maybe, "Four more months and then comes the harvest '? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and see the fields are already white for harvest. Who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so rejoice with those who sows reaps. In fact this proves true the saying 'One sows and another reaps. I sent you to reap that for which you have labored, and others have labored and you have entered into their labor. " Many Samaritans from that town believed in him for the word of the woman who testified, "I said everything I've done. " So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay and he stayed there two days. Many more believed because of his word and the woman said: "There is more to your speeches that we believe, but because we have heard for ourselves and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world."
Comment
dialogue allows Jesus to reveal, little by little to the woman what are the real expectations of her heart, allowing it to give a name to the thirst that leads to the well every day. The questions that each of us carries within it are often uncomfortable, impossible. The challenging questions of life remain buried in the hard work each day, under the commitments, meetings, responsibilities ..., and it may well be that there is not re-emerge again; low confidence to be able to find an answer to them means that we often prefer to forget. Instead, Jesus gives to the conscience of the Samaritan woman's "thirst" that continues to haunt her: the thirst for a sense of love, of a perspective of life ... it last forever, that goes beyond the narrow horizon of this world.
2. This song is the simple tale of an encounter: Jesus and the Samaritan woman are facing each other, talking together, you understand, you misunderstand ... Each of them comes a bit 'in the mystery of ... Our life
every day is made up of meetings. They are so numerous that people almost immediately after we touch and do not we remember most. Meetings are natural, such as those we have continuously with our family members are trivial and hasty meetings, events chatter; meetings are serious, that bind us, move us or worry us, are encounters that make us grow and create links; are meetings that mark our lives in some way.
The encounter with the other brings us out of isolation that would make it sterile and empty our minds. The encounter with the other helps us understand who we are, to ask questions, find our place in the world. Although faith is an encounter with a person with the Lord Jesus Sometimes we are tempted to think of faith as to a series of gestures to be made, forward commitments, obligations to be undertaken. All this can be a cause of fatigue, and make us feel the faith as external to our lives. Faith can thus become a burden that adds to the burdens of life, rather than the heartbeat that supports everything and makes everything lighter.
The meeting of Jesus with the Samaritan woman tells us that know the Lord can shatter a life: Jesus waits for the woman at the well, you leave encounter while engaged in one of his daily occupations. The Samaritan woman never would have imagined to find the Messiah any day. There is a director in the experience of faith that is not in human hands, but only those of God if faith depended on us - by our actions, our commitments, our decisions ... - Was our very modest extent. The faith, however, assumes the proportions of God's action surprising
3. What is an encounter with Jesus which takes place in life: the woman of Samaria, he met the Lord during one of his daily occupations, in the simplicity of everyday life, its existence has been achieved by God in a family experience like of an encounter: a tired man, who asks her to drink. A few simple words to start a dialogue, which gradually opens to the infinite dimensions of God was not an easy meeting: is not easy to recognize God in a tired man who asks for help, only his willingness to enter into dialogue with him, to go along with his questions and his provocations ... has meant that it was possible to go beyond that image of fragility in the traveler to discover the Messiah.
is impossible to recognize the God of the Gospel if we expect to see signs in powerful and glorious. God made man reveals himself to us in the folds of our existence: the journey, in thirst, in the street, in fatigue, fragility, in need ... And all this only serves to give greater value to our humanity, that the Lord Jesus wanted to share fully in its dimensions even weaker.
"Whoever is thirsty come to me and drink who believes in me", the words of Jesus are disturbing, his invitation is a wonderful, if anyone is thirsty ... thirsty for love, thirst for pleasure, thirst for happiness, thirst for immortality , a lust for life, "come to me." The philosopher Plato said that the human mind is like a jar that cracked can never be filled, only God can fill the whole of the great need for happiness in the heart of every man! What is it that refreshes? It is the living water! "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst in forever. " What is this? It is the Holy Spirit, is his word, the only one that gives meaning to life! Because Jesus says: "My words are spirit and life", ie take the breath of the Holy Spirit and give life. The Word of God is effective and sharp as a double-edged sword and will certainly bear fruit.
"rivers of living water will flow from within him." The Samaritan woman meets Jesus, and this meeting will be upsetting for her life. Although we try to say to Jesus: "Lord give me this, so that I may not thirst ...." He knows our hearts and our thirst. He transformed our life source of living water.
4. After meeting with the Lord, life is not the same for the woman of Samaria. Can not help but talk about this meeting, to tell what Jesus said ..., it immediately becomes a disciple of the apostle, missionary who has just experienced an extraordinary experience.
His experience seems to say that it is difficult to be missionaries when we experienced a true encounter with the Lord and we have allowed to touch the heart.
For us there is a well from which the Lord expects. Each of us can remember how many times this meeting has already been done, what questions has revealed, such horizons have opened up. Each of us knows that this meeting can be repeated: no one knows when, no one knows how. We know that when will this meeting will put us in a dialogue with a tired man who shares our thirst for goodness, truth and beauty. He will give us living water that quenches thirst forever.

Discussion (this time I put it at the beginning):
Among the many commitments that we take for Lent, I think that one dominates them all in importance: what shape to give us the word of God, just as Jesus makes today's episode of the temptations.
I do it with two short excerpts from the Fifth Gospel of Mario Pomilio Oscar Mondadori edition:
On page 274 we read about the spiritual journey of Monsieur Du Breuil
And yet, like a tree planted finally made, its long
charity began to bear fruit and his spirit, less tense
and add it, not idle, they are unaccustomed to re-
a hindrance to the movements of grace. Effects were, of course, the direction of his father
Saci, which in any way without changing the concept
tried to dissuade him from bias and
perfection of his soul was a place inhabited by hope. But more
again, were the effects of practice with the Gospels. That
book, read, yes, but bed in a hurry and bad, now that, for a regular
daily duties, was required not only to read it, but
understanding and interpreting, in the depths changed every-
of exposure, of dissolving what was discussed in
his soul and introducing a new density of existence. It was basically
as an omen, if not a prelude to the joy of the state
meditator for the first time on the Word and it shakes a more airy

, who had been the obsession of his long apprenticeship
was replacing the image of Christ is a loving and close
that lessened the tremor of grace and a too
continuous and demanding application on the weakness of our infinite
calling him to confidence, serenity, confi-
CIA and even the first innocence of faith which, although
blurred, it must never be lost as a whole.
On page 294 we read about a boy who discovers for the first time
the Gospel and from there begins the path to becoming a priest
But there were also some papers with a pen,
including a volume in beautiful manuscripts,
already sewn along the back but still no pool, so it remained in view

Thus saith the Lord / 'not as fast as you do today / hear in order to make up your racket. / Is it like this the fast that I desire, / the day that man is mortified? / Bend your head like a reed, / sackcloth and ashes for a bed, / maybe you would like to call this fasting / day and pleasing to the Lord? / Is not this the fast that I / dissolve the bonds of injustice, / To undo the thongs of the yoke, / to free the oppressed and to break every yoke? / Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, / home in introducing the homeless poor, / in a dress you see the naked / without neglecting your family? / Then your light will break forth like the dawn, / and your healing shall spring up speedily. / Before you walk your justice, and the glory of the Lord will follow. / Then call, and the Lord will answer, / cry, and he will say: "Here I am." / If you remove from your midst oppression, / the pointing of the finger and the speaking of evil, / if you open your heart to the hungry, / if sazierai the afflicted of heart, / then shine your light in the darkness, / your gloom be as the noonday. / You will always guide the Lord, you will fill in arid lands, / reinvigorate your bones / you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring / whose water does not dry up. / Your own riedificherà ancient ruins, / rebuild the foundations from past generations. "

EPISTLE
Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians 5, 18 - 6, 2
Brothers, this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. It was God who reconciled the world to himself in Christ, not counting their trespasses against them and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. In the name of Christ, therefore, we are ambassadors through us is God Himself who calls. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God who knew no sin, God made him sin for our sake, for in him we might become the righteousness of God Since we are his collaborators, we urge you not to neglect the grace of God he says: / "At the moment I have heard you / and on the day of salvation I have helped you." / Now is the time, now is the day of salvation!
GOSPEL Gospel Reading Matthew 4, 1-11
at that time. The Lord Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry. The tempter approached and said: "If you are the Son of God, 'that these stones become bread." But he said: "It is written: /" I do not live by bread alone man, / but by every word that proceeds from mouth of God. " Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed it on the highest point of the temple and said: "If you are the Son of God, throw down, it is written, /" For He will command His angels concerning you / and they will lead on their hands / because your foot will not stumble into a stone. " Jesus replied, "it is written, /" Do not test the Lord thy God. " Then the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, and said: "All these things will I give thee if, falling at my feet and worship me." Then Jesus said to him: "Go away, Satan! Is written: "/" The Lord your God, you'll love: / him only shall you serve "." Then the devil left him, and behold, the angels came and ministered to him.
S. Matthew recounts the temptations of Jesus, presenting them as the third part
after the preaching of John the Baptist and the baptism of Jesus
Jesus is in solidarity with sinful humanity that has agreed to follow the new word
John. These people want to purify themselves from evil, and Jesus, choosing the path of
Suffering Servant (Isa. 53), is perfect for the masses.
Father had approved this choice of the love of Jesus in Baptism and anointed him
in light of the spirit and clarity of the Word.
Satan is opposed to the choice of God that brings salvation and wants to divert from the path that Jesus
the Father has given ("a messianic suffering"), suggesting the way of passion,
of success, of power.
is being hurt because Jesus as a man can not remain indifferent to the prospect
of rejection, abandonment, destruction and death is looming, but you know opposition,
relying on the Word of God (repeated three times) and takes refuge in confidence to the Father,
fully open to God's love Jesus does not respond with arguments or reasoning
but "it is written." The appeal to Scripture is usually decisive argument
for any discussion among the rabbis.
* "Not by bread alone" (see Deut 8.3): the temptation of hunger,
understandable in the desert, Jesus offers the firm conviction that God's children in the omnipotence of the Word of God's providential
* " Do not put "(Deut 6:16): the lack of trust in Providence the tempter
passes to the opposite side, suggesting an over-confidence, which could put God to the test,
(severely condemned in the Bible).
* "worship him" (Deut 6:13): Jesus tells the tempter that wants to get him to a messianic
ground, invoking the great principle of the Jewish faith, which recognizes only the
worship God as the sole ruler of the world and one Lord.
In conclusion "the angels ministered to him," Angels are a symbol of the reconquest of
earthly paradise from which man had been driven, is the reward for faithfulness to the Word of God
..
Jesus really tried throughout his life and passed the suggestion,
finally becoming the new Adam, true progenitor of a new humanity, against the first Adam
he left fascinated and overwhelmed.
The three temptations are in the line of the temptations of the people in the desert of Sinai, and with the response of Jesus is
from Deuteronomy, recall the three tests
typical of Israel in the wilderness: "Hunger, thirst, idolatry."
The desert is a place of prayer, of solitude that makes the bare-bones
relationship with God but is also the favorite abode of demons.
The 40-day fast refer to the residence of Moses at Sinai before receiving the boards
Covenant (Ex 24:16 ff).
So Jesus is the new Moses and the new Adam.

Discussion (this time I put it at the beginning):
Among the many commitments that we take for Lent, I think that one dominates them all in importance: what shape to give us the word of God, just as Jesus makes today's episode of the temptations.
I do it with two short excerpts from the Fifth Gospel of Mario Pomilio Oscar Mondadori edition:
On page 274 we read about the spiritual journey of Monsieur Du Breuil
And yet, like a tree planted finally made, its long
charity began to bear fruit and his spirit, less tense
and add it, not idle, they are unaccustomed to re-
a hindrance to the movements of grace. Effects were, of course, the direction of his father
Saci, which in any way without changing the concept
tried to dissuade him from bias and
perfection of his soul was a place inhabited by hope. But more
again, were the effects of practice with the Gospels. That
book, read, yes, but bed in a hurry and bad, now that, for a regular
daily duties, was required not only to read it, but
understanding and interpreting, in the depths changed every-
of exposure, of dissolving what was discussed in
his soul and introducing a new density of existence. It was basically
as an omen, if not a prelude to the joy of the state

continuous and demanding application on the weakness of our infinite

blurred, it must never be lost as a whole.

How To Tell How Old Is My Gucci
Destino Cruel Fate
Sitting on the floor, on the dock ... her feet dangling outside, watching the water, heedless of the spray coming to question him, curious to see who is doing the sea to look indifferent. Ankles crossed, arms wrapped around the chest, leaning against a pillar, watching the gray waves, empty of thoughts, for once ... draws in cool air from the sea, only vaguely remembering a distant time, lost in previous lives, as a teenager when he went to sea in the summer in Scotland, and found himself alone, as usual, in the same position, in a similar place. Across the ocean that lies ahead. It has the curious feeling of being able to look through the barrier of time, over the past years between him and the little boy full of pain and hate. He looks, and would be able to speak. He would like to say how useless all those looking for revenge, power ... than it has brought nothing but more pain, for himself and for all those who crossed his path, from then on. Would you be able to say to the ghost of fourteen, still unaware and innocent of all the pain I feel and that it would cause in a few years. But time is a bad messenger, send messages in one direction, and the message clear, comes only from the past and not coming back.

is shaken from his thoughts than usual, early Homer goes in search of fish to pull up the nets, not far from him, and greets him.
"Tom!" He shouts. This comes back to grab it, the voice of that jolly old man, was guilty only of being himself and not one thousand other people, a thousand other faces, to hide the only one who did not want to see one's own. The magician turns around to greet him, just outlined the shadow of a smile on his face, back and watching the sea. The temptation ... no, not the desire to be able to leave the oblivion of the waves caressing the mind, the weary soul of torment, shattered by the effort of having to attend every day carrying an intolerable burden, but it is nothing but a vain hope. He wants to lay his burden once and for all, but knows that could never do it voluntarily. Even when it weighs so much, like that day ...
is the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. The day that Harry Potter has defeated finally, killing him into the INPUT of the school of magic and witchcraft in England. Remember what happened only occasionally, and sometimes suspected of having reconstructed their memories on the basis of reports that it has read, written by the victors. Many things do not remember at all. But remember the last green flash. Starting from his own wand and bounced back to hit him, in a parody of accidental suicide. One thing is sought for years: if you really did win .. who would? If he had finally gained power, what else could he do?
The question is not answered, even more so now that all desire for power over others will be permanently deleted from his mind. Even thinking to gather followers and the army seems pointless now .. Yet once a glimmer of megalomania drove him to think of taking power in all the great magic of community Europe, even if it can not be said that he'd finally done with all that power.
only now realized that the real magic is not to control others, but controlled himself. And it is much more difficult, surprisingly.
Back to this again, attracted by the cries of Homer. The network is pulling and the usual entangled in dry, they discover why. A wreck of wood, carried by the tides, was captured by the network. Only a piece of wood, but someone has had something. The two read and laugh. But only the words Tom seems like a strange answer to his questions. The hand, roughly, has recorded two words.
Destino cruel.

Chinese Round Face With Bangs
Asmodeus
flew, regardless of time, space, flying over cities, countries, states, seas, enjoying the myriad flavors of humanity, their fears, narrowness , the grief, pain, anger ... ah, anger. What a wonderful flavor had rabies, had almost forgotten.
swooping on small clusters, invisible to normal people, only the seers, wizards, witches, those who practiced magic and could see the color could see it and it remained terrified. It takes just one step to transfuse more terror into the hearts of the people who flew over to poke the worst part, like a fire under the ashes and covasse just waiting for him to come back on. Disputes erupted in its wake, cries of terror accompanied his blink of an eye, and Asmodeus laughed insanely each time he felt the emotions feed as before, make it even stronger. Hold off the magician, trapped and howling in her chest was always easier, and the body that had given him ... was filled with immense power. After an infinitely long, the daemon is granted a truce, to learn about the best magician he had taken possession at last. He landed on top of a mountain, well above the homes of mankind, among the icy peaks, closer to the sky and the sun than it had been for many centuries now. He sat down, keeping his demonic form, he closed his eyes and concentrated, to reach the mind of the prisoner. She heard him screaming, literally howl with rage when pierced with his own mind. The defenses were that he found himself in front of powerful, much higher than those who had never met any other magician who dared to put the ring when he was trapped. Asmodeus was satisfied, finally someone who could provide enough power to break the spell of Agrippa, to break the ring and finally break free from that curse infamous. He passed, albeit with difficulty, inner barriers of the magician, upon viewing a complete surprise. A dark wizard, with immense powers, has passed through the darkness blacker. He kept enough heart in it can not be defined redeemed, even though he was dead and was revived with the dark arts than those who had practiced in his previous life. Black soul, stained with murder and brutality, shattered and reconstituted, with a complex personality, an indomitable will and ambition of almost unlimited knowledge. Asmodeus he was touched and almost moved
... "We could almost think of becoming friends," said the magician, when he stopped to search the memories. "After all, you were also a very sinister character ... before they defeat you! "

... "We could almost think of becoming friends," said the magician, when he stopped to search the memories. "After all, you were also a very sinister character ... before they defeat you! "
" Never, "replied the magician, pulling back and raising his defense, decided not to make it simple to find the intruder demonic. "Never, never gonna bend you, or anyone, for that matter," was the fair response that echoed in the silent chest of the demon.
"Oh, you do ... with time you will find that you will like it again as a time to practice the dark arts, nourished by people's fear ... and you can also cultivate those unspoken desires that you have kept well guarded in the heart, or rather, I should say a lot lower, when looking only power .... lustful little boy wizard! You're given a lot of followers, eh? With me you can have them all, as you'd like, even those that have escaped you ... "The demon
showed Tom lusty visions of all women who had had, and other women who had only desired, or simply admired. The fiercely rejected the magician, snarling in the mind of the demon.
"I do not think to draw me with these games, demon .. I do not know well yet, "replied, despite the enormous effort to resist. "I'm not like those you've met before."
"Oh, yes, I see ... are worse, much worse! None of them had ever had on the consciousness of the horrors that have you ... even a baby, I admired ... shame that you had underestimated the sacrifice of one little woman, a mistake that with my help you would not have committed, you can believe me! You would easily still be in power now .. 'd worldwide magical bent to your wishes, the Muggle world, as you call it, I know your name and temerebbe ... and now you could redo the rise to power, without hindrance, without even bothering to betrayal or just followers of the disabled. "
What Tom was still in Voldemort smiled, while the magician fought against the seduction of the demon. That part of him was always strong in his mind, and he was against it that Tom had fought hard, since he was brought back to life. He felt that the old, always strong, cheering, getting around inside him, facing the temptations of the devil. Voldemort wanted with all his strength to say yes, even if it meant to serve the devil, thinking maybe it can be overcome at a later date, once regained his freedom. But Tom was opposed. The survival instinct of self-preservation that had always moved opposed the idea of \u200b\u200bbecoming subject to someone or something, despite the temptation to return to power was extremely seductive. The slaughter between the two parties fighting the demon gave him extra food before and taken magician, and he let dibattesse in doubt and darkness, knowing that more and more kept him prisoner could learn to control it.
But Tom resisted, and the demon himself, with all his might, with the intention that the killer had moved all his life. She had chosen a different route, though until then had been unable to give a clear answer as to why. Even now, facing the demon, he was not sure to know the right answer, but he knew he would never be returned to Voldemort, whatever the cost was that choice. As long as he could dispose of their mental powers to oppose both the daemon, that the memory of Voldemort, he would.
"N-no." He said, saved up all his strength in that word. He found the same strong will that had always moved, and opposed to Asmodeus, with the same ferocity he used to win power. This time, to maintain their freedom, even if it remained a prisoner.
The demon grinned fiercely.
"We'll see how much resist, magician ... uncertainties already feel inside you. It's just a matter of time before you choose the best path for everyone. "
Rise, returning to consciousness, in time to hear a powerful evocation spread in his mind, like a melody. Someone, somewhere, was calling. A female voice, powerful and demonic, a song that could not escape. He left the magician to his doubts and took flight again.

Dishwasher Tranished My Aluminum Pan
Nothing is more difficult to read the future ... especially to those who can change it. The Wizard knows it, and think back, as some have arrived in the shop crystal balls for divination, dusting and showcases, to sell. A particularly beautiful attracts his attention and posing in front of him, on the counter. The shop is closed, at last, and has plenty of time to reflect. It lets look into the ball, relaxing and seeing the first images are of his nefarious past. Hogwarts, long journeys, the quest for power ... defeats. Nagini, in which a beardless boy cut his head and that bloody battle that killed him. His face distorts in a parody of a smile while caressing the glass, opening the mind to other views. He does not need to revise his past haunts him enough when he closes his eyes.
The lighthouse, after a short while, the mist contained in the object. A sunny day, and the wizard comes up, book, hat, cane fishing folding chair ... then everything disappears in a blurry haze. From present to future is a leap in the dark, and only blurred images emerge from the darkness. Faces, men and women, some known, others not.
But the future can not be read at all. The fate of many is already mapped out all the details: are those whose imagination is not enough to change it, without knowing who follow paths already traced by others, whose end is unknown.
For others, the Destiny is not a vague track, one direction, but the roads to get there are so many to the point that only by following them you can know. The Wizard thoughtful look at the dark, into the crystal ball, which so well reflects his fate. There is no way of knowing more than that: every step is different and what would, he can not see anything but a vague direction. Far away, like a light at the end of a long and dark. That light is the goal, and at the end of every street. But the road is dark, until this comes to light it.
With a sigh, Tom cleans the ball with a silk cloth, mutters incantations purifiers, you must affix a price tag and the laying other. Nothing is written at all.
What Does Ewcm After Period Mean
of Lent Sunday, March 6, 2011: true repentance
last Sunday after the Epiphany - called "forgiveness"
READING
reading of the prophet Hosea 1, 9a, 2, 7a.b-10. 16-18. 21-22
The Lord said to Hosea: "Their mother said:" I will go after my lovers, / give me my bread and my water, / my wool and my flax, / my oil and my drink. " / So here, we'll close the way with thorns, / hedge up with the barriers / and not find himself in his paths. / Chase her lovers, But not overtake them, / they will not find them. / Then say, "I shall return to my first husband, for they were better off than now." He did not understand that I gave her / grain, new wine and oil, / and cover with silver and gold, / which they used for Baal. / So, here, I will charm, / and bring her into the desert / and speak to her heart. / Will make its vineyards / and transform the Valley of Achor / in door of hope. / There I will answer / as in the days of his youth, / as when he came out of Egypt. / It will happen on that day / - declares the Lord - / call me: "My husband," And I will not call me no more, "Baal, my master." / I'll make you my wife forever, / I'll make you my wife / in justice and right, / in love and kindness, / I'll make you my wife in faithfulness and you shall know the Lord.

EPISTLE
Letter of Paul to the Romans 8, 1-4
Brothers there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus for the Law of the Spirit who gives life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not, rendered impotent because of the flesh, God made it possible: sending His own Son in the flesh similar to that of sin and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, because the justice of Law was fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit.
GOSPEL
Reading of the Gospel according to Luke 15, 11-32
at that time. The Lord Jesus said again: "A man had two sons. The younger of them said his father: "Father, give me the share of assets that belong to me." And he divided his wealth between them. A few days later, the younger son gathered all his belongings and set off for a distant country where he squandered his fortune by living debauchery. When he had spent all, there came a severe famine in that country, and he began to feel the pinch. So he went to serve a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed swine. He would gladly have fed on the pods which were fed the pigs, but nobody gave him anything. Then came to himself and said, "How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and I perish here with hunger! I will rise, go to my father and say: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, are no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me like one of your employees. " He got up and returned to his father. When he was still way off, his father saw him, he had compassion and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. The son said "Father I have sinned against heaven and before thee, are no longer worthy to be called your son." But the father said to his servants, 'Quickly, bring out the best robe and let her wear, Put the ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Take the fattened calf and kill it; we are celebrating, because this my son was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found ". And they began to celebrate. The eldest son was in the field. Come back when it was close to home, he heard music and dancing called one of the servants and asked what it was all that. That's said, "Your brother is here and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound." He was indignant, and refused to go. His father then went out to beg. But he said to his father: "Behold, I served you for many years and I never disobeyed your command, and you've never given a young goat to celebrate with my friends. But now that this son of yours came back, who has devoured your substance with harlots, you killed for him the fatted calf. " The father said "Son, you are always with me and all that is mine is yours, but we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found". "
Comment
The text can be understood better if you connect it to the first lines of cap.15. In fact, they give
the true meaning of the parable of the prodigal son, as well as those of the lost sheep and coin that was found
.
"They approached him all the publicans and sinners to hear him. The Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying
: "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them." And he told them this parable: "Who
of you, having a hundred sheep ..,. Or, as a woman.;. And he said:" A man had two sons .. "(15.1 -
4)
Jesus, in Luke's Gospel, tells these three parables, and in particular the third, for it is
revealing the love of God to "publicans and sinners" and is responding to the murmurings of
right: the Pharisees, theologians, lovers who reject the reception of the law and mercy of Jesus,
so blatant and so outrageous.
So these parables are not directed to sinners. When the Gospel
it says "He said to them" (v 3) means that Jesus addresses the perfect, pure: they
those who claim to know God and His righteousness. Jesus spoke to them and says, "Here, with their
rejection of those who make mistakes, just and pure even put at risk their relationship with God and deform
knowledge, like the elder brother."
This reading is particularly evident in the second part of the parable of the prodigal son, who is also a story
splendid and comprehensive. But in the second part takes a fundamental role
the attitude of his elder brother, as shocked and precise location of the righteous. The
youngest son of a wealthy landowner asks for her inheritance. He is second
it is one-third of the real estate and movable property belongs entirely to the eldest son
(Deut 21:17; Lev 25.23 et seq.) The father, however, remains the usufruct of all that was, until his death
.
The father makes no resistance and divides substances between the two children. The younger son goes to a distant country
to the Gentiles, since they use feed the pigs. Live without a moral line if not that of
whim, taste, interest, emotion, exhibitionism, of squandering. The
search of pleasures, false friends and aberrations Sexual conclude not only nausea but also
depletion of resources. In the end, in order to survive, this young carefree
must adapt to the first job that happens and that is degrading because it has to graze
unclean animal, without, among other things, the possibility of recovering the possibility of life.
The boy finally "came to himself," which is not to say that he repents, but strictly by need, not understand
to have set a lifeline totally wrong and inconclusive. The memory of orderly life,
welfare of the house, of acceptance and respect of which he was honored him take the decision to return
however, trampling on the pride. Turns out the problem that arises is that of
survival. And, basically, is confident of a father who would know
accept, at least he hopes so, knowing certainly put some of his conditions: yield: "No more
account for my son, but the work as a wage earner" and so on.
The description of the father is summarized in five verbs: "The father saw him, he had compassion, ran
meeting, and fell on his neck and continued to kiss him" (v 20). And the child that the pigs have also denied the locust
, gives a robe (the best), the ring finger (the seal of the servants
and assets of the father), the sandals (it's free man, walking barefoot slaves).
The festival is a sign of joy when his father returns to the child at the top of his previous dignity,
an act completely free in which absolutely does not verify the presence or absence of
repentance. It is a sign of unconditional love that her father has, without seeking, inter alia, the consent of his eldest son
.
These returns, exhausted from work, and inquires with stunned amazement of the party in his house without his knowledge and organized

The parable ends here: it is not know if the older brother and came to party, do not know what
reports have started between the two brothers. The only certain fact is that the father must
continually re-educate those who are children, they may discover him in a paternity precious, profound and also different

True repentance repentance (sorrow for sin O)
From the Lord learn a certain sequence: He came to suffer, but until it's time does not anticipate the passion.
So we must recognize clearly all sins, their severity, and experience them as our own, then comes the moment of repentance.
What does it mean to repent?
Repent means that we are horrified by the great distance that exists because of sin, between God and us.
In repentance there is no room for excuses or extenuating circumstances will in ¬ CONSIDERATIONS.
We must face our guilt as guilt and measure its severity.
To understand the gravity we must not look only at what we have done, but most to what God does for us. Even
¬ ment for repentance Jesus is our model.
Jesus takes our sins to the Father in a love like that purifying the Father sees only love the work of reconciliation and of the Son.
no difficulty, no fatigue, no deals, no speech, no miracle
is able to divert Jesus during his life,
by this attitude of love.
From this vicinity of the Son with the Father, we can understand how we have strayed.
We have no measure to understand the closeness that we had in the days of grace, and now we have lost.
Only if we use this way to measure our sin we come to repentance Christian.
fact, the Christian repentance is not to those who are disappointed not to be better than what it is, but that's what comes from the perception that we have strayed from the love of God
This repentance must cause pain, in fact it is not Christian is a simple act of intellect, but also involves the heart.
The pain must be in our heart of hearts that he should love and not loved. *****
from what must be born in pain?
From the fact that we have sinned before God, his love is greater than any other reality.
these circumstances: "In front of him," should be considered as specific as possible to elicit repentance.
Everyone should say to himself: "in front of his face I have taken a stand against him" we must put before our eyes, to live as much as possible, this situation.
God revealed in Jesus Christ his infinite love for me and had no hesitation to come to the Cross and I looked at him and I have betrayed, or at least, I have forgotten.
His love is the overwhelming reality that gives rise to pain.
As has happened to Peter who wept bitterly for having betrayed the man who for him is to give life.
Just because the pain comes from the love of God for us it does not Pain may be alone, but also becomes the certainty of salvation, the certainty that we will never be abandoned.
"Who shall separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus" Rom. 8 S. says Paul.
The love of God is the foundation of pain, but also of hope.
The sinner in the depths of his faith know this love that can never be lost for him, and that is the main cause that makes it possible to repentance.
only from the standpoint of putting the pain of God is perfected.
What really matters is that the reason for the conversion must be God and love for him.
One could ask if there are other reasons to be distressed. more than love
of God must answer that many people grieve more for themselves than for God
there are those who grieve because he failed to be as he wished and was wounded in his pride;
there who is not managed to keep a promise made to the other and you feel diminished in the eyes of others.
These types of pain are not the right ones.
First because it has nothing to do with God, or rather forget to God
According because very often leads to paralysis and despair. You see that you do not succeed and instead of just work harder, leaving every effort to improve slowly, perhaps without being explicit is the attitude most common confession of the bad ¬ sions.
There are people who do not feel obliged to show a serious repentance before God and are limited to only a bit of regret about themselves.
This means not to obey the Lord, do not capitulate to him and want to keep the knife from the handle.
In this way, the relationship between live love God and man will die sooner or later.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE OTHER HAND, THE PAIN AND 'REAL?
If one is fully grasped by a real pain not only sees the sins committed, but also his whole life away from God for everything he does not want to know more
vividly apparent desire to extinguish this life to give way to the "newness" of the love of God and, therefore, to hope.
If we use an image, it is as if the sinner saw himself as a dead man to whom the risen Lord offers the possibility of returning life.
The Lord gives us here a part of his eternal life, and the pain of confession is like a ray of eternal life that enters into the death in which there is a sinner and enlightens and leads to rebirth.
real pain because of sin enters into communication with the light of God, becomes a powerful stimulus to action, to change ¬ tion.
As the pain discourages false, the pain becomes real ¬ tion leads to being: the Christian does not want to be hurt further by the Lord and find the way back, which means the path of conversion.
Some might say: "But what sense does all this talk about pain, when it all comes back like before?". After the confession
back as before?
It 's true?
Only if you have limited faith and love may think this is poor.
may think so only those who look to itself and its inability and forget to look to God and its possibilities. We must remember the words of Jesus: "What is impossible with men are possible with God."
Who is truly sorry for his sin seeks to return to God with all your strength and is committed to fighting for a renewed life, trusting in God's
This confession made monthly or weekly always brings something new. If nothing else, a sincere desire to be close to God and not to tolerate the separation from Him
