“They were amazed at his teaching, because…, his words had authority.” Lk. 4:31-37 Today’s Gospel passage is a continuation of the one we prayed yesterday. He tells us that those who received Jesus’ teaching “were amazed . . . because his words had authority.” Today we can ask ourselves when we listen to the word […]

“He stood up to do the reading.” Lk. 4:16-30 We begin the month of September, the month of the Bible, in which, as a Church, we give a special gaze to the Word that illuminates us every day. It is a word that comes from God to fill us with life and make us aware

“Blessed are you, if they cannot pay you.” Lk.14:1.7-14 Jesus has been invited by a Pharisee, but He feels free to suggest to him whom he should invite in the future. “He does not reject family and friendly relationships, which He himself practiced. What He criticizes is that they are always the priority and exclusive

“God himself has taught them to love one another.” 1Thess. 4:9-12 We pray again today with the mirror of the community of Thessalonica, as Paul, its spiritual director, sees it. It seems that the expectation of the Lord’s coming led some to not even worry about their daily work, and that discredited them in the

“Take care not to let the flame go out.” Mt. 25:1-13 The parable that is proposed to us to pray today describes the situation of those who live in hope of the coming of the Kingdom of God, assimilated here with the celebration of a wedding. The center of the message is the need for

From evangelizer, Paul becomes evangelized. “We feel revived by your fidelity to the Lord.” That community gives new life and joy to an apostle

The Word of God is the power of God at work in believers. 1 Thess.2:9-13 In the text that is proposed to us to pray today, Paul continues to review his missionary experience with the Thessalonians.

“We behave like a mother who caresses her creatures.” 1Thess.2:1-8 Today we are invited to taste in prayer the way Paul recalls his missionary activity among the Thessalonians. He speaks of his vocation as an apostle, confirmed by his sufferings in Philippi (Acts 16:16-40). He describes his effort and selflessness in preaching and the good

Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the Church of Thessalonica, grace and peace.                   1 Thess.1:1-5.8-10 This week we are going to pray with the first text of the New Testament, written by Paul in the year 51, from Corinth, where he had arrived after several persecutions and is assailed by the memory and concern for that

“There are those who are last who will be first and first who will be last.”   Lk.13:22-30 Yesterday we were praying based on what Jesus said to the Pharisees. Today we encounter a teaching of Jesus that undoubtedly confronts us all: it breaks the securities of those of us who see ourselves as the elect;
