Camminando, si aprono cammini.

Pred nami se bodo začele odpirati poti takrat,

ko se bomo podali na pot.

Nekoga moraš imeti rad,

pa čeprav trave, reko, drevo ali kamen,

nekomu moraš nasloniti roko na ramo,

da se, lačna, nasiti bližine,

nekomu moraš, moraš,

to je kot kruh, kot požirek vode,

moraš dati svoje bele oblake,

svoje drzne ptice sanj,

svoje plašne ptice nemoči

- nekje vendar mora biti zanje

gnezdo miru in nežnosti -,

nekoga moraš imeti rad

...

...

nekoga moraš imeti rad,

z nekom moraš v korak,

v isto sled
...

Ivan Minatti

''Vztrajajte v molitvi,

bedite v njej in se zahvaljujte.

Obenem pa molite tudi za nas.''

Kol 4,2-3

"A friend took me to the most amazing place the other day. It's called the Augusteum. Octavian Augustus built it to house his remains. When the barbarians came they trashed it a long with everything else. The great Augustus, Rome's first true great emperor. How could he have imagined that Rome, the whole world as far as he was concerned, would be in ruins. It's one of the quietest, loneliest places in Rome. The city has grown up around it over the centuries. It feels like a precious wound, a heartbreak you won't let go of because it hurts too good. We all want things to stay the same. Settle for living in misery because we're afraid of change, of things crumbling to ruins. Then I looked around at this place, at the chaos it has endured - the way it has been adapted, burned, pillaged and found a way to build itself back up again. And I was reassured, maybe my life hasn't been so chaotic, it's just the world that is, and the real trap is getting attached to any of it. Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation."

Elisabeth Gilbert, Eat Pray Love

Cari amici!
La fede e la preghiera non risolvono i problemi,
ma permettono di affrontarli
con una luce e una forza nuova,
in modo degno dell’uomo,
e anche in modo più sereno ed efficace.


Benedetto XVI
