Faith and Salesian consecrated apostolic life

Korean mediation 2012 (written after annual retreat preached to the Salesian confreres during the New year break 2011-2012 at Naeri, South Korea)

One of the last sharing during a lifetime of late Fr. Marc Cuvelier with the Salesian Family members before he passed away was about his favorite prayer. He was enthusiastic to share his preference for the Apostolic creed. When asked some years ago about the major challenges or problems in Salesian life and mission, his cute answer or better his life diagnosis was simple: the worst are faithless religious.

Lectio Divina - Ciclo B: 4º. Domingo T. O. (Mc 1,21-28)

Permalink 08:25:22, por Juan José Bartolomé Email , 1979 palabras   Spanish (ES)

Hoy el evangelio nos acaba de presentar un Jesús al que estamos, nos creemos, acostumbrados, un Jesús que responde bien a nuestras ideas, un Jesús Maestro que enseña con autoridad. El episodio se sitúa en los inicios de su ministerio público, en Cafarnaun, la ciudad que eligió como morada. La gente quedaba maravillada de su doctrina; no pretendía él explicar la ley de Dios, como hacían los escribas de su tiempo, sino que la presentaba directamente, sin rodeos ni componendas, con actuaciones que dejaban claro su mensaje. Ahí radicaba la autoridad de su enseñanza: podía probar con los hechos cuanto decía con sus palabras, sus manos hacían lo que pronunciaban sus labios. Y cuando descubre un enfermo entre sus oyentes, no sigue adelante con su discurso, atiende a quien está sometido al mal incurable, pues tiene poder suficiente, y prisas para sanarlo con su palabra. Deja de hablar para curar; mejor, proclama el evangelio curando del mal a un oyente.

Lectio Divina - Anno A: 4a. Domenica T. O. (Mc 1,21-28)

Permalink 08:23:06, da Juan José Bartolomé Email , 1726 parole   Italian (IT)

Il vangelo ci ha appena presentato oggi un Gesù al quale, ci crediamo, abituati, un Gesù che risponde bene alle nostre idee, un Gesù Maestro che insegna con autorità. L'episodio si situa agli inizi del suo ministero pubblico, a Cafarnao, la città che scelse come dimora. La gente rimaneva stupita della sua dottrina; egli non pretendeva di spiegare la legge di Dio, come facevano gli scribi del suo tempo, ma la presentava direttamente, senza compromessi, con attuazioni che lasciavano chiaro il suo messaggio. Lì radicava l'autorità del suo insegnamento: poteva provare coi fatti quanto diceva con le sue parole, le sue mani facevano quello che pronunciavano le sue labbra. E quando scopre un malato tra i suoi uditori, non prosegue col suo discorso, cura chi è sommesso dal male incurabile, perché ha potere per guarirlo con la sua parola. Smette di parlare per curare; meglio, proclama il vangelo curando dal male un uditore.

Lectio Divina - Year B. 4th. Sunday in Ordinary Year (Mk1,21-28)

Permalink 08:20:47 am, by Juan José Bartolomé Email , 2090 words   English (GB)

Today’s Gospel presents a picture of Jesus that we are well used to, or think we are used to, a Jesus that fits in well with our ideas. It introduces Jesus as a Teacher who teaches with authority. The episode takes place at the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry, in Capernaum, the town where he had chosen to live. The people were astonished at his teaching. He did not claim to explain the law of God, as the scribes did. Jesus presented the law of God directly, without compromise, with examples that made his message clear. That is where his teaching got its authority. He could prove with deeds what he said in words. The works of his hands matched the words of his lips. When he saw someone sick among his listeners he did not simply go on with his teaching. He cured even the incurable. His words had power to heal. He stopped preaching in order to heal. Or rather, he proclaimed the good news by healing the illness of one of his listeners.

Lectio Divine - Année B: 4ème Dimanche T. O (Mc 1,21-28)

Permalien 08:17:20, par Juan José Bartolomé Email , 2225 mots   French (FR)

L'évangile nous présente un Jésus auquel nous sommes, il semble, habitués, un Jésus qui correspond bien à nos idées, un Jésus Maître qui enseigne avec autorité. L'épisode se situe aux commencements de son ministère public, à Capharnaüm, la ville qu'Il choisit comme résidence. Les gens restaient émerveillés de sa doctrine ; Il ne prétendait pas expliquer la Loi de Dieu, comme les scribes de son temps, mais plutôt Il la présentait directement, sans détours ni arrangements, avec des gestes qui laissaient net son message. Là s’enracinait l’autorité de son enseignement : Il pouvait montrer par les faits tout ce qu’Il disait par ses paroles, ses mains réalisaient ce que ses lèvres prononçaient. Et quand Il découvre un malade parmi ses auditeurs, Il ne continue pas son discours, Il fait attention à celui qui est soumis à un mal incurable, car Il a le pouvoir suffisant et hâte pour le guérir avec sa parole. Il cesse de parler pour guérir ; mieux encore, Il proclame l'évangile en guérissant du mal un auditeur.
