Desideriamo in qualche modo la vita stessa, quella vera, che non venga poi toccata neppure dalla morte; ma allo stesso tempo non conosciamo ciò verso cui ci sentiamo spinti. Non…

Paolo VI stated that the world today is suffering above all from a lack of brotherhood: “Human society is sorely ill. The cause is not so much the depletion of natural resources, nor their monopolistic control by a privileged few; it is rather the weakening of brotherly ties between individuals and nations” (Pope Benedict)
Paolo VI affermava che il mondo soffre oggi soprattutto di una mancanza di fraternità: «Il mondo è malato. Il suo male risiede meno nella dilapidazione delle risorse o nel loro accaparramento da parte di alcuni, che nella mancanza di fraternità tra gli uomini e tra i popoli» (Papa Benedetto)
Dear friends, this is the perpetual and living heritage that Jesus has bequeathed to us in the Sacrament of his Body and his Blood. It is an inheritance that demands to be constantly rethought and relived so that, as venerable Pope Paul VI said, its "inexhaustible effectiveness may be impressed upon all the days of our mortal life" (Pope Benedict)
Questa, cari amici, è la perpetua e vivente eredità che Gesù ci ha lasciato nel Sacramento del suo Corpo e del suo Sangue. Eredità che domanda di essere costantemente ripensata, rivissuta, affinché, come ebbe a dire il venerato Papa Paolo VI, possa “imprimere la sua inesauribile efficacia su tutti i giorni della nostra vita mortale” (Papa Benedetto)
The road that Jesus points out can seem a little unrealistic with respect to the common mindset and to problems due to the economic crisis; but, if we think about it, this road leads us back to the right scale of values (Pope Francis)
La strada che Gesù indica può sembrare poco realistica rispetto alla mentalità comune e ai problemi della crisi economica; ma, se ci si pensa bene, ci riporta alla giusta scala di valori (Papa Francesco)
Our commitment does not consist exclusively of activities or programmes of promotion and assistance; what the Holy Spirit mobilizes is not an unruly activism, but above all an attentiveness that considers the other in a certain sense as one with ourselves (Pope Francis)
Il nostro impegno non consiste esclusivamente in azioni o in programmi di promozione e assistenza; quello che lo Spirito mette in moto non è un eccesso di attivismo, ma prima di tutto un’attenzione rivolta all’altro considerandolo come un’unica cosa con se stesso (Papa Francesco)
The drama of prayer is fully revealed to us in the Word who became flesh and dwells among us. To seek to understand his prayer through what his witnesses proclaim to us in the Gospel is to approach the holy Lord Jesus as Moses approached the burning bush: first to contemplate him in prayer, then to hear how he teaches us to pray, in order to know how he hears our prayer (Catechism of the Catholic Church n.2598)
L’evento della preghiera ci viene pienamente rivelato nel Verbo che si è fatto carne e dimora in mezzo a noi. Cercare di comprendere la sua preghiera, attraverso ciò che i suoi testimoni ci dicono di essa nel Vangelo, è avvicinarci al santo Signore Gesù come al roveto ardente: dapprima contemplarlo mentre prega, poi ascoltare come ci insegna a pregare, infine conoscere come egli esaudisce la nostra preghiera (Catechismo della Chiesa Cattolica n.2598)
If penance today moves from the material to the spiritual side, let's say, from the body to the soul, from the outside to the inside, it is no less necessary and less feasible (Pope Paul VI)
Se la penitenza si sposta oggi dalla parte, diciamo, materiale a quella spirituale, dal corpo all’anima, dall’esterno all’interno, non è meno necessaria e meno attuabile (Papa Paolo VI)
