Walk with the Lord in the valley of darkness
Let us keep in our mind that the Lord is sovereign, that we are safe and we are ready to walk ALWAYS with the Lord even (especially) in the valley of darkness (Psalm 23:4) – always being nourished by the Holy Communion with humbleness, love of God and great faith. Otherwise we are full of […]
Continue Reading“New self”, thus a pinch of psychology and philosophy
Today in the second reading from the letter of Saint Paul to Ephesians we can read: “You must have your old self, which gets corrupted (…) so that you can put on the new self that has been created in God’s way”. In the common sense the person “full of himself” is an image of […]
Continue ReadingSmoke and sheep
The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want; I lack nothing”. We know this Psalm very well. Probably not so well that we can imagine the importance of a shepherd, because it does not seem to me that many of us have the direct experience of agriculture or breeding. But anyway, it […]
Continue ReadingWord and Community
We experience Ordinary time in the Church liturgy, that’s why the Liturgy of Word speaks about ordinary, but also basic reality of Christian life. In the first reading our attention is focused on the prophet Amos. It’s true that Amos was a simple shepherd. He didn’t feel like a special person making a special mission. […]

God’s love for you and me is beyond human prudence and foresight; beyond our grasp. Even our imagination is limited. If we knew how much He loves us, we would be amazed; we would cry for joy; we would be shocked. Jesus encourages us and assists us in a similar way as he did towards […]

In the eyes of many, the Church is now bankrupt! It has become a desert… What can we say? Yes, there is a growing split between the Church and secular society, coming even to the point of divorce. Old pagan values are taking over, as though they were something new… A society based on economy, […]
Continue ReadingGod builds His Kingdom from our littleness
Every moment, everything can help us to find God or distract us by focusing on unimportant details. Because of that we need to find a proper balance in our life, we need to breathe God’s presence, we need to be in a close relationship with Him. This is achievable through prayer. Importantly, in Baptism, the […]
Continue ReadingDedication to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
On a big scale, there are a variety of attitudes towards Jesus. St Augustine teaches us that on earth there are two great kingdoms of love, which gradually extend their borders at the expense of each other. There is the kingdom of love of self to the point of contempt of God and there is […]
Continue ReadingThe Solemnity of the Precious Body and Blood of Christ
Holy Mass invites us to have an authentic, interior experience of the reality of God, who is really and fully present in His Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. Amazingly, it is during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that Christ Himself creates our parish community. Although this way of presenting the principle meaning of […]
Continue Reading“The Most Holy Trinity“
There is a great love of Jesus towards his faithful disciples, and towards sinners of contrite hearts, towards vulnerable, meek, poor and needy. The Lords always takes care of the lost sheep and takes pity on the enemies of God. However, there is always primacy and a greatest passion of Christ for the Father. On […]
