Joseph Custos - Portal dedicated to St. GiuseppeRisorgere, to say to the other, brother, sister We live this Easter with a journey made
behind ... way that allowed us to focus
two important points for what concerns our
inner journey: The first point concerns the importance of
personal relationship with Jesus as that relationship, remember,
without which God would be a meaningless word, a word
empty or at least an inadequate term because God none
has ever seen, the only-begotten Son has told us (he has done
exegesis tells the literal translation from the greek) ...
the second, more recent in time, is this: Jesus
receive a total love and without repentance, without second thoughts.
Jesus loves us without looking back. I felt that this love without
repentance is a bit 'love of Holy Saturday, because it is a love
repeated, perpetuated, albeit very, very tiring.
We live every year on Holy Saturday to set in the heart
continues Jesus' descent into hell. I spoke this morning with a
brother, my friend, is not that Jesus descended into hell a
once and for all and that's it, no ... his is still a visit to
abyss, the darkness, the depths of the human heart
and therefore also of my heart. Here then is one of the reasons
to rejoice in this day of Easter ... we are not alone in
our efforts, we are not alone in our pain, always
Risen visit us, the Risen Christ walks with us always. And that really is
Easter, which we can truly live a passage,
you really can cross a border, you really can
change something in our lives, we can truly say
Christians, to center on Jesus, let him do it, let
to take it up, toward the light. Ago that the Lord
passage through the Saturday is not just a change
the turn of the sun, without which nothing has changed, without
anything it turn into my heart and in my life. Only then, only if something really
change in me
the announcement of the Resurrection will bring joy into my life.
Look to the gospel just heard ... Look to the reaction
that the women who ran with fear and great joy to
make the announcement to his disciples and those that have
guards, who became as dead men. Women, who during his earthly life
have listened to Jesus, brought and kept in
heart his words, believe in the resurrection on their
words of Jesus: And 'risen, as he said. The guards instead
strike me as the symbol of unbelief of those who make a lifestyle
and become dead creatures, incapable of movement
inner incapable of tremors of the heart ... are prey to a
death of which were keepers (Enzo Bianchi). Maybe it's a bit '
this is a risk that we run, to give space to these
guards may also be in us to be vigilant so
nothing changes, because they remain in the old, because our true
I buried the remains and the real man does not arise in us (A. Grun).
Here we can then trace the Gospel of
Resurrection according to Matthew's account, which speaks to us
of that change now that I mentioned. The departure of
women visit the tomb ... go there for that apparently.
The angel knows, however, understand the desire that the lives and
refers to what moves them deeply, because their is not
visit to a tomb, but a search: I know that ye seek Jesus, the
crucified ... I like this idea, that of a search which
stops, that does not stop even in front of that judge
humanly insurmountable. A spur, an incentive for
me that for much less finish the fuel that moves
my research. It 'also important for our personal relationship with Jesus
: women are not looking for an idea, looking for a
person not looking for a powerful, one that resolves, seek
crucified, who seek a seen live, suffer,
die that way.
Bello what the angel tells the women, also indicating the
style of research ... search, but not in fear (fear not) and
not like all the men: Do not be afraid ... let the fear is the
fate of others and do not look here, in the tomb
because what you can see here is just the place to
had placed him. You need not look here, in the place where it was put
from the incredulity of men, seek him where he
promised to appear ... We, too, then we
called to search for where He has promised to appear ... there
where men and women are able to break bread for your brothers
and sisters, where men and women are able to prepare
charcoal fire to warm up and prepare food
necessary for refreshments, where men and women even at the cost of their lives
want to say Peace be with you and who hates who
plot against the brothers, where men and women and live shows
their wounds, well, there we encounter the Risen One.
conclude by pointing out a key change in the Resurrection
work. Jesus said: Go and tell my brothers
to go to Galilee and there they will see me ...
my brothers ... Jesus does not call them as disciples, calling them
brothers.
Through his death and resurrection they are now
brothers. Their failure in the face of passion,
their cowardice in the face of fear of death are
forgiven them. That this can happen even in our
life ... that can be said of us who believe in the Risen
because in front of the wrong or evil now, we can
call brother and sister who, with or without voluntary
has hurt us. Easter is for us, able to get out of
tombs of resentment and rancor.
