Festivity of All Saints:
vision of Paradise


Our calendar reminds us every single day the name of one saint, which is equivalent to our name, "Feast Day". The Church gives very much importance to the feast of  All Saints that celebrates every year on the first day of November. This festivity reminds us the stupendous reality of the vision of paradise when the crowds of saints together with myriads of Angels live in the eternal vision the beatitude of God.

We catholics have a certain familiarity of the early earthly church accomplished in our daily life with the parish - the minister of God- the good and the charitable deeds.

When we hear to speck about the heavenly church we are perplexed because we do not have referable points to find with our understanding.

St. Augustin said "We can not separate the earthly church from the heavenly church".

Infact the liturgy calls the day of death "Dies Natalis" which is the moment we wíl) be borne to the eternal beatidude,because as St. Gregory the Great says "The Holy church has two lives : one earthly life and another eternal life."

The pagans that dici not have the concept of eternal life they had as a base of their existence the "Carpe Diem" that is "try to enjoy in every way this earthely life because after death everything will be over".

How sublime is our faith that reminds us the words of Jesus Christ who before returning definitively to God our Father said "I will prepare a piace for each one of you".



Let us conquere it with a honest and correct life with acceptance of daily problems; only in this way we wili be one day together with the saints in the eternal beatitude.



Lord help us to understand that the true realization is the one we become Saints; that we may be sustained on our way towards the heavenly City and help me to overcome the difficultys of daily life.

Devotion
 to hte faithful
departed


November is the month dedicated to the faithful departed.

Non of the convinced catholic doubts of the legitimacy of the power of prayers and good dids addressed to God for the Souls of the faithful departed.
Sometimes also we catholics are doubtful about the value of the prayers and good dids.We need to make it clear and try to remember what was said about the etymological meaning of the ward " SUFRAGE " In our days it has the unmistaka ble meaning of prayers for the dead ones. Really the latin meaning of " Sufrage "means simply " HELP " In recent times we have the real meaning when we talk about electoral suffrage for candidates,a support for a vote.

Ti chiedevano un segno

Ti chiedevano un segno

Ne avevi compiuto già tanti, di segni, che era difficile contarli. Non erano bastati quei signori. Ne volevano uno di più; di loro scelta. Ma tu sapevi che non li volevano per credere in te; ti avevano già sconfessato davanti alle folle, dissuadendo singoli e gruppi dal venirti dietro. Difatti Marco sa che lo facevano solo per metterti alla prova, vale a dire per imbrogliarti! Come potevi soddisfare a questa richiesta sfacciata?

Preghiere

Preghiera per i casi impossibili e disperati O cara Santa Rita,

Preghiera per i casi impossibili e disperati
 O cara Santa Rita,
nostra Patrona anche nei casi impossibili e Avvocata nei casi disperati,
fate che Dio mi liberi dalla mia presente afflizione.......,
e allontani l'ansietà, che preme così forte sopra il mio cuore.

Per l'angoscia, che voi sperimentaste in tante simili occasioni,
abbiate compassione della mia persona a voi devota,
che confidentemente domanda il vostro intervento
presso il Divin Cuore del nostro Gesù Crocifisso.
