conclude by the liturgical day now usual appointment of meditation with the reflections of famous priests and religious movements. Today we reflect through the words of Don Roberto Seregni:

I am moved to find the first Sunday of Lent, the Gospel of the temptation.
I am moved to know that Jesus chose our humanity, solidarity to the bottom of our frailties, even in the experience of temptation.
moves me, makes me remember that even Jesus was tempted, that the life of the Rabbi of Nazareth has been marked by the struggle against evil. No wonder, then, if today will fight against temptation, against the evil that wants to tear the heart to God, who wants pollute the word and passing it to get drunk with good wine vinegar.
This Lent, which opens before us leads us to the desert, in company with Jesus, to fight against temptation, to say the words of authenticity in our lives.
led by the Spirit into the wilderness for forty days will fight against our myopia, we learn to give names to the poverty that we live, to recover from anesthesia that make us immune to everything, we will walk - easy and light - to run with Mary meeting the Risen One.

In this process there are three words that help us to orient ourselves.

First, fasting. Fasting to feel hunger, to find that not enough of myself and my selfishness can not feed myself. Fasting to learn to say 'no' that I open up the "yes" that expand the heart, that I put into the new relationship, I steal my lazy habits and insatiable. In addition to fasting from food - necessary and indispensable - there are plenty of other land in which to experiment, everyone chooses the most urgent in his spiritual journey. I would only recommend a bit 'all the fast from gossip, to learn to look the other as we see God

Second, prayer. Praying to find an everyday space of the desert and acknowledge our total membership to God Turn off the phone, look a bit 'of silence inhabited by the Spirit and open the Bible to prove read a Gospel from beginning to end, or enjoy the beauty of the Psalms. The important thing is not in a hurry, read slowly and let the words fall in the heart.

Third charity. Charity to remind us that faith must also change our hands and our feet. Charity does not mean to give that which advances or no longer needed, but be attentive to the needs of others, share the gifts I received, not shut in possession mildew riches of the heart. Certainly no shortage of proposals for concrete experiences of love, and a scegliamone rimaniamone faithful. But let's not forget that charity is more urgent and capable of contagion is that of everyday life in the home, in school, at work and in his spare time ... well

Courage, dear friends! These forty days are a struggle against the lies and pettiness of our lives, a recentering of our lives on what really matters and has value, a jump energetic and discreet to escape burial and inconsistent new gods of the West.


Good journey of Lent
