Liturgy of the Word From the Book of Genesis
2.7 to 9, 3.1 to 7
The Lord God formed man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being. Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. The Lord God made to grow from the ground every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, including the tree of life in the midst of the garden and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The serpent was more crafty than any wild animals the LORD God made the woman He said: 'It's true that God says: You shall not eat of any tree of the garden? ". The woman answered the serpent: "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat, but the fruit tree which is in the midst of the garden that God said: 'You shall not eat or you touch it, lest you die." But the serpent said unto the woman: "You will not die! God knows that when you eat, you open up your eyes and be like God, knowing good and evil. " The woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eye and desirable for gaining wisdom, and took of its fruit and ate, she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then he opened the eyes of both of them and they realized they were naked. Word of God!

LECTIO DIVINE
"There are those who say:" Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven,
but he who does the will of Father ... "
(cf. Mt 7:21)
After an appropriate introduction, you can invoke the Holy Spirit with the canon Veni Sancte Spiritus
oVieni, Creator Spirit (Taize), or other similar prayer, as as follows.
P.: O Father, we thank you because we have gathered here before you to let us hear your word
: in it thou reveal to us your love and make us know what you will.
Fa 'silence in us any item that is not yours and why we do not find in the sentence
your word, read it, but not received, meditated upon, but not loved, prayed, but not kept,
contemplated, but unrealized, send your Holy Spirit to open our minds and
to heal our hearts. Only then will our meeting with your word will be renewing the covenant and communion with you and the Son and the Holy Spirit, God blessed for ever and ever. A. Amen.
Canto (optional): Alleluia (Taize).
L.: listen to the Word of God from the story of the evangelist Matthew
(Mt 7.21-27, trans. CEI 2008).
[At that time, Jesus told his disciples:] 21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,"
enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven
. 22 On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name
? And in thy name have we not cast out demons? And in your name
have we not done many miracles? ". 23 But then I will declare to them
"I have never known. Get away from me, ye who work iniquity. " 24 Therefore
everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a man sag -
Sun, who built his house on rock. 25 The rain fell, the floods came,
the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock
. 26 Anyone who hears my words and not put them into practice, will
like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand. 27 The rain fell,
the floods came, the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell,
and great was its fall. "
follows meditation of the Word given by the guide of the celebration, after a personal moment of silence for
lectio, continue with the share on the common word heard. At the end, each of these
may propose an intention of prayer, for each, the congregation sings or responds with a cheer.
It concludes with the Our Father ... [and the final blessing].
Notes exegesis for understanding the text
The passage of the Gospel is mentioned in today's liturgy is taken from chapter 7 of Matthew,
almost the end of the "discourse mountain "of Jesus, which we heard
in recent weeks. This chapter is still in the oral stage and in any event prior to the drawing
FNAL as we now possess, had three severe warnings
, each of which was followed by an illustration of explanation, from which we note the FNAL
strictly for catechetical which the Gospels were redatti1. Following the pattern of

3. v. 21 21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord
"
will enter the kingdom of heaven, but
who does the will of my Father in heaven
.
vv. 24-27 24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine
and does them will be similar
a wise man who built his
house on the rock. 25
rain came down, flooded the fumes,
the winds blew and beat upon that
home, but it did not fall
it was founded on rock. 26 Whoever hears these words of mine and
not put into practice, will be similar
a foolish man, which
built his house upon the sand
. 27
rain came down, flooded the fumes,
the winds blew and beat upon that
home, and it fell, and
great was its fall.
The parable of the "two houses", one built on the bedrock of the Word and the other on
sand of indifference, then, is the explanation of the theme "do the will of the Father
'ie put into practice. In modern terms we can speak of
essential and vital relationship between Orthodoxy and orthopraxy: there must be and be seen a direct correspondence between the choices
practical life (orthopraxy) and the reasons
ideals, the principle underlying (Orthodoxy) who inspires those choices. Without a dynamic and vital
relationship between the ideal life, between the choices and faith, we fall
ideology that often serve to cover evil deeds result of the separation between "saying and doing" and that the people
codifcato in its wisdom in that, "preaches, but Razzola
evil." Ideology, in general, walking with his head caught above the clouds by
not see how his life choices are fagrante in contradiction with the alleged
same principles.
Verses of 7.22 to 23 Mt, that prolong the warning of v. 21, probably
were added later because the linearity of the load unnecessarily
verse in question, there is evidence that in the parallel passage in Luke
these two verses are missing (cf. Lk 6.46 to 49). The admonition in verse 2I revolves around the phrase "do-
not do," while the parable of the two houses reported by today's Gospel focuses on the combination
"listen-to '(or' do ': vv. 24.26) 2. These three references
to "do / not do the will of the Father" and "hear-no practice 'are
a clear advance in the parable of the two fgli that his father sends him in the vineyard (Mt
21.28 to 31) and that Jesus reads the same as discriminating evaluation FNAL
materially from those that belong to the world of religion and ritual
who pretend to be law of primogeniture and religion of those who expels
appearances on behalf on behalf of a formal purity and instead, under
of their life choices, are found to be much closer to the heart of God
what they themselves do not have consciousness (cf. Mt 21:31 b-32).
The gospel once again the problem of the relationship "religion-faith": it can be religious, even pious
work and live rituals, celebrations perfect
processions and rituals to fill, namely the religious life of the "say" and at the same time be
away from the faith that is nourished by Word and abandons the will of the Father.
believe is to live out the ethical and existential imperatives of the Gospel
the logic of a life of justice and sharing the story that takes itself and its contradictions
, charging Christ as the weight and the sin of the world affnché
all may be saved, from the perspective of the will of the Father (1 Tim 2:4, John
6.39). You can live all day in church and live a pagan life;
can be a life outside the church and live by the Spirit, because anyone can harness
God in the categories of their own narrow vision of life. The category of theological
"there is no salvation outside the Church," formally correct, can be translated
and more consistent with "the Spirit there is no salvation outside
" Thesec particulars which reduces to the principle of summary of the whole Gospel, "out of love,
there is no salvation." No one can dare to measure the potential or establish
confni Spirit under the scope of its vestry. Mt
is bothered by a catechetical point of view, especially considering
that his gospel is addressed primarily to Christians from Judaism and then obsessed
observance "material" of religious precepts, especially those
regarding ritual purity. The same theme is taken up and with strong words
also addressed by James (cf. James 1:22-25) and Paul in vehement terms.
Mt writes to the fne century. I d. C. and already concerned that the formalism of belonging
prevail over genuineness of the accession to the idea of \u200b\u200bthe Kingdom.
In this context of religious formalism explains the excessive insertion
here due to the hand of the editor of Mt 7.22-23 FNAL, where explicitly refers to the emptiness and futility of

LECTIO DIVINE
"There are those who say:" Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven,
but he who does the will of Father ... "
(cf. Mt 7:21)
After an appropriate introduction, you can invoke the Holy Spirit with the canon Veni Sancte Spiritus
oVieni, Creator Spirit (Taize), or other similar prayer, as as follows.
P.: O Father, we thank you because we have gathered here before you to let us hear your word
: in it thou reveal to us your love and make us know what you will.
Fa 'silence in us any item that is not yours and why we do not find in the sentence
your word, read it, but not received, meditated upon, but not loved, prayed, but not kept,
contemplated, but unrealized, send your Holy Spirit to open our minds and
to heal our hearts. Only then will our meeting with your word will be renewing the covenant and communion with you and the Son and the Holy Spirit, God blessed for ever and ever. A. Amen.
Canto (optional): Alleluia (Taize).
L.: listen to the Word of God from the story of the evangelist Matthew
(Mt 7.21-27, trans. CEI 2008).
[At that time, Jesus told his disciples:] 21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,"
enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven
. 22 On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name
? And in thy name have we not cast out demons? And in your name
have we not done many miracles? ". 23 But then I will declare to them
"I have never known. Get away from me, ye who work iniquity. " 24 Therefore
everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a man sag -
Sun, who built his house on rock. 25 The rain fell, the floods came,
the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock
. 26 Anyone who hears my words and not put them into practice, will
like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand. 27 The rain fell,
the floods came, the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell,
and great was its fall. "
follows meditation of the Word given by the guide of the celebration, after a personal moment of silence for
lectio, continue with the share on the common word heard. At the end, each of these
may propose an intention of prayer, for each, the congregation sings or responds with a cheer.
It concludes with the Our Father ... [and the final blessing].
Notes exegesis for understanding the text
The passage of the Gospel is mentioned in today's liturgy is taken from chapter 7 of Matthew,
almost the end of the "discourse mountain "of Jesus, which we heard
in recent weeks. This chapter is still in the oral stage and in any event prior to the drawing

, each of which was followed by an illustration of explanation, from which we note the FNAL

3. v. 21 21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord

who does the will of my Father in heaven
.
vv. 24-27 24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine
and does them will be similar
a wise man who built his
house on the rock. 25
rain came down, flooded the fumes,
the winds blew and beat upon that
home, but it did not fall

rain came down, flooded the fumes,
the winds blew and beat upon that

great was its fall.
The parable of the "two houses", one built on the bedrock of the Word and the other on
sand of indifference, then, is the explanation of the theme "do the will of the Father
'ie put into practice. In modern terms we can speak of
essential and vital relationship between Orthodoxy and orthopraxy: there must be and be seen a direct correspondence between the choices
practical life (orthopraxy) and the reasons
ideals, the principle underlying (Orthodoxy) who inspires those choices. Without a dynamic and vital
relationship between the ideal life, between the choices and faith, we fall

not see how his life choices are fagrante in contradiction with the alleged
same principles.
Verses of 7.22 to 23 Mt, that prolong the warning of v. 21, probably
were added later because the linearity of the load unnecessarily
verse in question, there is evidence that in the parallel passage in Luke
these two verses are missing (cf. Lk 6.46 to 49). The admonition in verse 2I revolves around the phrase "do-
not do," while the parable of the two houses reported by today's Gospel focuses on the combination
"listen-to '(or' do ': vv. 24.26) 2. These three references
to "do / not do the will of the Father" and "hear-no practice 'are
a clear advance in the parable of the two fgli that his father sends him in the vineyard (Mt
21.28 to 31) and that Jesus reads the same as discriminating evaluation FNAL
materially from those that belong to the world of religion and ritual
who pretend to be law of primogeniture and religion of those who expels
appearances on behalf on behalf of a formal purity and instead, under
of their life choices, are found to be much closer to the heart of God
what they themselves do not have consciousness (cf. Mt 21:31 b-32).
The gospel once again the problem of the relationship "religion-faith": it can be religious, even pious
work and live rituals, celebrations perfect
processions and rituals to fill, namely the religious life of the "say" and at the same time be
away from the faith that is nourished by Word and abandons the will of the Father.

the logic of a life of justice and sharing the story that takes itself and its contradictions
, charging Christ as the weight and the sin of the world affnché
all may be saved, from the perspective of the will of the Father (1 Tim 2:4, John
6.39). You can live all day in church and live a pagan life;
can be a life outside the church and live by the Spirit, because anyone can harness
God in the categories of their own narrow vision of life. The category of theological
"there is no salvation outside the Church," formally correct, can be translated
and more consistent with "the Spirit there is no salvation outside
" Thesec particulars which reduces to the principle of summary of the whole Gospel, "out of love,
there is no salvation." No one can dare to measure the potential or establish
confni Spirit under the scope of its vestry. Mt
is bothered by a catechetical point of view, especially considering
that his gospel is addressed primarily to Christians from Judaism and then obsessed
observance "material" of religious precepts, especially those
regarding ritual purity. The same theme is taken up and with strong words
also addressed by James (cf. James 1:22-25) and Paul in vehement terms.
Mt writes to the fne century. I d. C. and already concerned that the formalism of belonging
prevail over genuineness of the accession to the idea of \u200b\u200bthe Kingdom.
In this context of religious formalism explains the excessive insertion
here due to the hand of the editor of Mt 7.22-23 FNAL, where explicitly refers to the emptiness and futility of
a religion obsessively closed in on itself and screwed in

now, brothers and sisters, as witnessed by the Law of Moses and the prophets, but apart from law, God has made known his desire to save all those who believe in Jesus Christ, without any distinction. In fact, all have sinned and come short of the experience of God that saves them. All human beings have been saved through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, because God loves them for free. He has openly made known to Jesus Christ, who died on the cross by shedding his blood, as a means of forgiveness for those who believe in Him

ITALIAN CARITAS for North Africa

a disaster humanitarian
ITALIAN CARITAS Diocese mobilizes
Tuesday, March 1, 2011
The uprising, which began in Tunisia, the concerns that have emerged in almost all Muslim countries, from the small Djibouti in the Horn of Africa to Yemen to the unknown and even Saudi Arabia can not be explained only by poverty, unemployment, corruption and the cultural crisis of the Islamic world, elements also present in varying degrees. But, combined with the words spoken by the president of the CEI Angelo Bagnasco, we believe that: "When a people is oppressed for too long by a regime that respects human rights, sooner or later burst." It is therefore a real danger of a humanitarian catastrophe with thousands of internally displaced persons, refugees and asylum seekers who could pour across North Africa and the northern shore of the Mediterranean.
Italian Caritas supports a number of years the business Caritas of all North Africa and in particular the small and the work of Libya Caritas Christian community that actively works in silence, in particular in assisting African migrants who manage to survive after crossing the Sahara desert. It was also triggered by two years a discussion table with the Caritas of the countries bordering the Mediterranean. All this in the belief that the challenges of migrants can face only one set and a transnational, involving the countries of departure, transit and destination of migrants. In this period are constant links with the director of Caritas Libya Laoyon Arcebuche Father Alan, who unfortunately can not wait as all outcomes of the clashes taking place. At the national level, Caritas Italian from the first moment shared in the National Council of 15 to 16 February 2011, the next steps, which have experienced the following developments:
1. Continue the contact with the pastor of Lampedusa, the archbishop and the diocesan Caritas of Agrigento, the regional delegation of Caritas of Sicily.
2. Monitor the evolution of the situation in Lampedusa. It was immediately organized a mission there to monitor the operations of acceptance and transfer of migrants and to check the activities of the center of first aid and reception site in the town of Pozzallo, diocese of Noto, where guests are also some minor joints with recent landings from Egypt and Tunisia. For the latter, Italian Caritas supports an animation project, waiting to be transferred to appropriate shelters.
3. Italian Caritas is actively participating with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) at a table sponsored by the Ministry of Interior to jointly establish a plan to host an extraordinary about face 6 000 Tunisians arrived on our shores and those who are expected to arrive in the next several weeks.
4. In recent meetings, the Minister of Interior informed about the intention to transfer in that base all asylum seekers from various CARA (Centers for asylum seekers) in the area to make room for new arrivals to our shores and the opposition has been expressed of the three organizations stressing instead the need to use as Mineo CDA (Reception Centre), however, with direct procurement, management of the Centre for Mineo was given to the Red Cross while the above organizations, including the Italian Caritas, have given their approval for a presence in the Centre for listening activities protection, assistance and guidance for migrants and possible asylum seekers, on time and in the manner deemed most appropriate.
5. Waiting for answers, Italian Caritas meanwhile is preparing to support a permanent presence in Lampedusa, and possibly in the center of Mineo (once you know the destination of the center), especially in anticipation of the arrivals, which are expected for the next few weeks.
6. At local level, the diocesan Caritas are mapped structures available in their territories to ensure a ready acceptance in the event of failure of the system implemented by the Government. Italian Caritas and Caritas diocesan, and hope that all diplomatic means are in place because the killing to stop, and to become established democratic governments are able to meet the legitimate aspirations of local people of freedom and respect for human rights, are preparing for an emergency that Europe will have to share. In the knowledge that - by joining forces and sharing the experience gained in recent years - will then be called to a subsequent hard work of rebuilding that needs to be addressed in Libya and in North Africa.

a disaster humanitarian
ITALIAN CARITAS Diocese mobilizes
Tuesday, March 1, 2011
The uprising, which began in Tunisia, the concerns that have emerged in almost all Muslim countries, from the small Djibouti in the Horn of Africa to Yemen to the unknown and even Saudi Arabia can not be explained only by poverty, unemployment, corruption and the cultural crisis of the Islamic world, elements also present in varying degrees. But, combined with the words spoken by the president of the CEI Angelo Bagnasco, we believe that: "When a people is oppressed for too long by a regime that respects human rights, sooner or later burst." It is therefore a real danger of a humanitarian catastrophe with thousands of internally displaced persons, refugees and asylum seekers who could pour across North Africa and the northern shore of the Mediterranean.
Italian Caritas supports a number of years the business Caritas of all North Africa and in particular the small and the work of Libya Caritas Christian community that actively works in silence, in particular in assisting African migrants who manage to survive after crossing the Sahara desert.

How To Make Dummy Phones Work
Consumerism .... A community
The boom in consumption in today's world creates more noise than all the wars and weapons, most confusing of all the carnivals. As the old saying goes turkish, drinkers put on the account, he gets drunk twice. The culture of consumption because it sounds very much like the drum is empty, and the hour of truth, when the noise stops and the party is over, the drunk wakes up, alone, accompanied by his shadow and broken dishes that have to pay. The right to waste, the privileged few, says he is free to all. Tell me how much fuel and I'll tell you what you're worth.
This civilization does not leave the flowers to sleep, nor hens, nor the people. Flowers in greenhouses are subjected to continuous light, so they grow faster. In the factories of eggs, the chickens also are prohibited at night. And people are sentenced to insomnia, the anxiety and anguish to pay to buy. This pattern of life is not very good for people, but it is very good for the industry pharmaceutical industry. The U.S. consumes half of sedatives, anxiolytics and other chemical drugs that are sold legally in the world, and more than half of banned drugs that are sold illegally, which is not a small matter when one considers that the U.S. is just five percent of the world population. The world tends to turn into a big screen television, where things look but not touch. The football World Cup have confirmed, among other things, that the credit card of Master Card and tones the muscles that Coca Cola gives eternal youth and that the menu of McDonald's can not miss in the stomach of a good athlete. The masses of consumers receiving orders in a universal language: advertising has succeeded in what the 'Esperanto has tried and failed. Everybody understands, anywhere, any message that the TV broadcasts. In the last quarter century, the costs of advertising have been duplicated in the world. Thanks to these poor children drink more coke and less milk, and time of leisure time consumption becomes mandatory. Leisure, captive time: the very poor homes do not have a bed, but they have a TV, and TV is talking. Buying in installments, this animal test vocation "democratic" progress: do not listen anyone, but speaks to everyone. Rich and poor know well the virtues of the latest model car, and rich and poor are in knowledge of the attractive interest rates that banks offer this or that. The consumer culture, the culture of the ephemeral, condemns everything disuse in the media. Everything changes at dizzying pace of fashion in the service of the need to sell. Things get old in a blink of an eye, to be replaced with others of fleeting life.
Today all that remains is the insecurity, the goods, not built to last, are so volatile as the capital that finances and the work that creates them. The money flies at the speed of light was there yesterday, is here today, tomorrow who knows, and every worker is an unemployed potential. Paradoxically, shopping centers, reign of fugacity, offer the illusion of the most successful security. They resist timeless, ageless and without roots, without night, no day and no memory, and exist outside of space, beyond the turmoil of the dangerous realities of the world.

JESUS \u200b\u200b'THE CHILD WHO IS ASSIGNED TO THE FATHER
INVOCATIONS PENITENTIAL
God our Father, in your infinite love not forget about us.
Lord, have mercy!
Christ Jesus, enlighten our darkness and save us from all our fault!
Christ, have mercy!
Son of the Father, deliver us from all anxiety to possess and make real Father's children.
Lord, have mercy!
hymn of praise: "Glory to God ...
PRAYER ASSEMBLY - COLLECTION
+ Father, and shall see that all creatures, support us with the strength of your Spirit, so in the midst of hardships and concerns of each day will not let ourselves be dominated by greed and selfishness, but we operate with full confidence for freedom and justice of your kingdom. Through our Lord ... Amen!
Liturgy of the Word from the prophet Isaiah 49.14-15
The people of Zion said
"The Lord has forsaken me,
the Lord has forgotten me."
But the Lord said:
"Can a woman forget her nursing child
; not love more the child of her womb?
Although they may forget,
I will never forget you. "
Word of God!
Responsorial Psalm - 61
R. / In God alone my soul at rest, he is my hope.
1. He alone is my rock and my salvation;
rock my defense, I stand firm.
2. In God is my salvation and my glory;
balance my refuge, my defense.
3. Trust in him always, O people,
before him pour out your heart.
4. Since the power belongs to God
Yours, Lord, is grace.
from the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians
4.1 to 5 brothers and sisters. One should regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of God's mysterious plan of salvation Now, what is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy.
but I care very little about being judged by you or by a human court, indeed, I do not even judge myself, because even if they are not aware of any fault, why are not justified. My judge is the Lord! So please do not judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes. He will highlight what the darkness hide and manifest the intentions of the hearts: and then everyone will be rewarded by God himself.
Word of God!
Alleluia, alleluia!
The word of God is living and active, discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hallelujah!
+ From the Gospel according to Matthew
6.24 to 34 at that time. Jesus told his disciples: "No man can serve two masters, because they love one or the other, or be loyal to either party. You can not serve God and wealth. Therefore I say unto you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, nor about your body, what you will wear life is not worth perhaps more than food and the body more clothing? Look at the birds of the air neither sow nor reap, nor gather into barns, yet your Father who is in heaven, feeds them. Are ye not much better than they? And which of you, as you restless, can extend their lives even a little? And the dress, why do you worry?
Observe how the lilies of the field neither toil nor spin. Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his wealth was not arrayed like one of them. Now, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will not make much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? You're not anxious, saying, "What shall we eat? What shall we drink? What shall we wear? ". Of all these things are in desperate search for those who do not believe in God your Father is in heaven, in fact, knows that you need all these things. Instead, try, first, the kingdom of God and do His will, He will give you more than all these things. Angosciatevi therefore not of tomorrow, for tomorrow will have its own anxieties. Sufficient unto the day the evil thereof. "

Libya - Italy: the complicity embarrassed
Lock the market for arms and respect human rights
On 2 September We have expressed our disgust for the "unseemly spectacle" in honor of Gaddafi prepared by the head of government who ostentatiously kissed the hand of the dictator without considering any reference to human rights abuses, the tragic fate of victims of rejections, who died in the desert or in Libyan prisons. Now is the ruthless repression of the revolts. Armed groups fired on a crowd that is also bombed.
Pax Christi wants to remember that Italy is Europe's leading exporter of arms to the regime of Gaddafi. In the 2008-2009 period, the Italian government has authorized the sending of arms companies own more than € 205 million, more than a third of all permits issued by the EU. In contrast to European counterparts, the foreign minister refrained from reporting even the temporary suspension of arms supplies to Gaddafi.
Italy, thanks to the many business and horrors, embarrassed, stuttering.
Yet there have been stresses.
After the first riots in the countries of North Africa, with the Network Disarmament and the peace table, we asked the government to suspend all military cooperation with all countries of the region.
But life is worth more of Libyan oil, gas and all other interests.
E 'urgent review of the "treaty of friendship, partnership and cooperation between Italy and Libya" (signed in Benghazi in August 2008 by Berlusconi and Gaddafi) with which the Italian exports of weapons to the Libyan coast have got momentum. We want to remind
that the Act 185 of 1990 on arms exports concerned with establishing the "respect for human rights in the country of final destination" and to refuse the export of arms "if there is a clear risk that military equipment or technology to be exported can be used for internal repression ".
disarmament, justice and democracy are the foundation for the North Africa and the Mediterranean become, according to the dream of La Pira, a large new lake of Tiberias." not the bloodbath that we are forced to look in front home.

Notes exegesis for understanding the text
The passage of the Gospel we read that continues the proclamation of the six antintesi
(5.17 to 6.1 Mt) at the base of the "Law" of the Gospel preached in the new "speech
of the mountain, which we have already considered in previous meetings, following
the liturgical pattern, we analyze the last two hours antithesis.
The fifth antithesis which begins the song of today's Gospel quotes a text
now entered the popular wisdom, using it in the worst way, "
eye for an eye and tooth for tooth" (Mt 5.38, cf. Ex 21.24; Lev 24.20; Dt 19:21), the standard is better known as
"law of retaliation." Today, with this phrase means that the damage suffered
you want to match the maximum severity, without mercy.
Who uses this language, in general, is considered fair, as if it were a despicable
, able to revenge, revenge is considered currency
current fair price for the injuries suffered. This attitude demonstrates
what we have just given way to the most bestial of our nature,
that shows the law of the jungle. But the "law of retaliation" was not so
was one of the most important laws of the seventeenth century. a. C. because, before the government
inordinate power of the force, it stated "by law"
the proportion of the damage and the penalty paid. The Mosaic law of retaliation is the oldest
biblica1 legislation, because it already exists in the Code of Hammurabi, "one of the most ancient collections
laws of humanity and attributed to the Babylonian king Hammurabi
or Hammu-Rapi (1792-1750 BC) 2. Before these laws legal
'written', the fno indiscriminate revenge was to achieve a disproportionate ratio
between harm and punishment, as the history of the biblical patriarchs, the "song of Lamech
" (cf. Gen 4.23 to 24 ). With Hammurabi and Moses after the first, the violence was reported
to an equal relationship and no longer left to the will of
single. The law of retaliation, therefore, is a step of civilization, legislation
change history and affect the habits of generations, for thousands of years.
seems heresy to say this today, but it is because when lays
matching blow for blow, poses a barrier to violence without measure:
a wound is a wound and not just a murder, if one receives a slap, not
can retaliate with a massacre. The law affirms the principle of retaliation ethical and psychological
that each of us works and lives within a network of priority and proportion -
Cf Es 1 21.23-25; cf. Lv 24.19 to 20, cf. Dt 19.18 to 21.
2 The collection consists of 282 sentences that anticipate the criminal codes of today.
was carved on a stele of diorite cm high about 204 (today is in the Louvre museum in Paris). You
almost certain that the law of retaliation, as well as other rules of the Torah, are inspired by
this collection, the oldest of five hundred years.
tion: nothing is left to the arbitrary, but with this rule and Defne the confni
establish the limits of social relations and criminal prosecution. The law in this sense is a bank
that characterizes the confni extremes. One can overcome the law, but
can not go beyond it. The legality before being a legal concept is
an attitude because it is the spiritual and psychological limits of consciousness and awareness
proportions. From this point of view, the notion of legality
to understand the importance of the other impassable because it expresses
balancing the demands, needs and rights. Who has not read or think over
it is a sick human being, without self-awareness and power
believe exist only in the use of arbitrary power which he lives as their size
statement. To comply with the law that creates the size of the spread
law, must respect themselves, but also accept and acknowledge
as part of a larger human reality, while maintaining their individuality and freedom of conscience
. Even in
salvation history we see the law of retaliation.
Exodus tells the story of slavery in Israel of God who intervenes with el'irruzione
strongly to deliver them from the rule of Pharaoh. It is the beginning of Israel's history:
the besieged people from Pharaoh, on the night of liberation, the promise was
which would apply the law of retaliation by God: Egypt
who persecuted and tried to kill firstborn of Israel (cf. Ex 1:22), will be affected in its
firstborn (cf. Ex 12.29 to 30) and Israel on the basis of the merits of the Fathers (cf. Wis 18.9) would have been included
in the book of the righteous. God does not respond to injustice
destroying Pharaoh's Egypt, but depriving him of the firstborn, thus restoring the proportions
initial strength. We have to wait to see Jesus upside to the relationship fno
supreme point where the innocent is charged violence that has generated and
not be held responsible for emptying the contents of strength and thought itself that drives the
choices and acts of violence. Vanifcare to death in the name of God, Jesus
no exception to his death, but the encounters and moments before he died
forgive his killers as the law of retaliation inversion required in the Torah.
The rationale of the 'eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth "(Exodus 21.24) replacing the
forgiveness unconditionally and without expecting anything in return, a love to lose:
" Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do "(Lk 23,24). In the name of
God can only forgive, that waiver is the balance between harm and punishment and the victims -
tima is charged not only damage but also because only then could the penalty be
won the imbalance created violence. In the name of God can only be killed by their own
murderers and while he identifcano as such, the victim
change their nature and transforms them into brothers and sisters (cf. Jn 18.11). Jesus brings
even further the need for community life: the root must be removed from the heart itself
of revenge, leading fno love of the enemy, in imitation of God if he could boast of Lamech
revenge seventy times seven, that is, without a vengeance
fne, the disciple of Jesus who accepts the Law of the Gospel, forgiveness comes "fno
seventy times seven" (Matt. 18:22), reversing the legal system of his time:
revenge gives way to forgiveness. The reference to the law of retaliation made
Jesus, however, lies in a broader context, because "justice" new
can not be exhausted in a series of rituals and moral rules, closed in themselves. It
the contrary, must express a new vision of the world because it reveals a new
face of God, free from the shackles in which religion, usually buries him. The fact
religion nourishes itself and "use" God to impose its rule
because it can flourish only if its adherents are submissive and servile,
incapable of thinking. Where there is freedom of religion because they do not lose infuenza
able to use force, anonymous rituals and unchanging and what is more, not
can do prevail superiority of the priestly caste who shamelessly
use God as a tool for its assertion of authority. But where there
faith reigns supreme freedom based on consciousness that fosters responsibility
and embodies the emotional relationship, nurtured by fducia and reciprocity. The "new
justice" of Jesus, in fact, requires faith, which can be expressed only in the context of
freedom and love. The Code of Hammurabi was formulated in an impersonal way,
while the commandment of YHWH, delivered to Moses, is direct and personal,
addressed to "you" with a command expressed this imperative. While
in the code of Hammurabi is the formula of an offense is detected and the corresponding penalty
, in the biblical commandment, God speaks to the conscience and
establishes a relationship of affection for the Law can not be just a bank
outside, inevitably based on fear, but should be indeed no inner spiritual
creating a vision of life and consequent behavior (
cf. Mk 7:20-23). Jesus does not linger on the Mosaic Law which had already made the limit
of proportion, but undermines the concept of minimum legal (or moral) "
to envisage a new order of justice, founded on the primacy of the relationship
in turn is rooted on two pillars: the person as such and God
as the guardian of the person. You play two reciprocity: the human being is
"image of God" (Gen 1:27) and then make the invisible visible of which guarantees
the original God affda human being and then rises to its nature. All
this is not resolved at the level of religion, but engages and develops only in
of faith, which is a movement of the heart and intelligence, a "place" relations
emotional and spiritual.
Jesus opposes the law of retaliation nonviolence, that the only instrument capable of
sconfggerla (cf. Mt 5:39). Jesus goes beyond the law itself and expresses a radical step
: Revenge must be eradicated from the heart of man. Jesus states
behavior, but outlines a policy that we codifcare
in modern terms this way: if you want to change another, change yourself against it. If
respond to violence with more violence, not only increases the violence.
If an act of violence respond to face the violence, calling for
name and accepting it as evil, and remain aware that it is
violence, but do not eat is inside the emptied of all its power to
death. The act of violence remains unanswered and that the author expects that they be
load, because without meaning to our. This is the logic of turning the other cheek or
to let off the mantle of being carried away or in court. The believer does not
suffer violence or abuse, but name them, recognize them and oppose
acting as a bank and absorbing all the violence that would otherwise not
quell'argine, risks of more damage. It is the only way to reject violence,
inadmissible for not being complicit in a perversion of the system.
violence as expressed not objective and can not be resolved without returning to the sender
which in turn must decide what to do and as a result
set.
In the sixth and final antithesis Jesus leaves intact the mosaic system, simply turn it over:
love of neighbor that Jews were the Italians and
hatred for the enemy, passing the love of the enemy that it is included in a report
of "relationship" with God Jesus' passage is complex: it starts with
quote a passage from Leviticus: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor" (Lev. 19:18) 3 to which tradition had added
"and hate your enemy "but was not provided by the Word of God
Rabbi Hillel (70 BC-10 AD) in a heathen who asked him what was the essence of Judaism
, replied:" What you ugly, not fixing them to other
"4. Rabbi Yosef Aqiba well (about 50-135 AD), one of the founding fathers of Judaism
after the destruction of Jerusalem, says that the commandment of love
the next of Leviticus "is a major principle of the Torah" (Midrash Sifra to Lv
19:18). For the love of neighbor means to visit the sick, consoling
rents, to give a dowry to fdanzate, etc.. In turn, Maimonides (1138-1204), the
largest medieval Jewish commentator, reads the command in Leviticus
a moral: "Tell him [the upcoming] with kind words and respect his property
"(Mishnah, Yadaìm Déot / Mani, 6.3). The reference to "your Father who is in
heaven" (Mt 5,45) is a reprise of the Prophet Malachi, which advocates a single human creature
because of one God (cf. Mal 2:10). What that meaning to our "neighbor / fellow
'and' foreign / alien 'are set by Jewish law
on the same floor, because human beings are tied together by the presence in each
of the' image of God" (Gen 1.27) which determines them as brothers and sisters, fgli s
3 There is debate whether the term "neighbor" refers only to the "compatriot"
jew or even wider for the 'stranger'. From the context of Leviticus 19 it seems that here you must give the interpretation
narrow, ie the first, because immediately after there is
commandment concerning the stranger, and you use the same words used for the next
(Lev 19.33 to 34). 4
Babylonian Talmud, Shabbat, 31a. The text is also included in the book of Tobit, "what

Despite the differences, the teachings of Matthew and Luke is the same: love and brought

The passage of the Gospel we read that continues the proclamation of the six antintesi

eye for an eye and tooth for tooth" (Mt 5.38, cf. Ex 21.24; Lev 24.20; Dt 19:21), the standard is better known as
"law of retaliation." Today, with this phrase means that the damage suffered

inordinate power of the force, it stated "by law"
the proportion of the damage and the penalty paid. The Mosaic law of retaliation is the oldest
biblica1 legislation, because it already exists in the Code of Hammurabi, "one of the most ancient collections
laws of humanity and attributed to the Babylonian king Hammurabi
or Hammu-Rapi (1792-1750 BC) 2. Before these laws legal
'written', the fno indiscriminate revenge was to achieve a disproportionate ratio
between harm and punishment, as the history of the biblical patriarchs, the "song of Lamech

to an equal relationship and no longer left to the will of

salvation history we see the law of retaliation.

" Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do "(Lk 23,24). In the name of

fne, the disciple of Jesus who accepts the Law of the Gospel, forgiveness comes "fno

revenge gives way to forgiveness. The reference to the law of retaliation made
Jesus, however, lies in a broader context, because "justice" new
can not be exhausted in a series of rituals and moral rules, closed in themselves. It
the contrary, must express a new vision of the world because it reveals a new
face of God, free from the shackles in which religion, usually buries him. The fact
religion nourishes itself and "use" God to impose its rule

incapable of thinking. Where there is freedom of religion because they do not lose infuenza

use God as a tool for its assertion of authority. But where there
faith reigns supreme freedom based on consciousness that fosters responsibility
and embodies the emotional relationship, nurtured by fducia and reciprocity. The "new
justice" of Jesus, in fact, requires faith, which can be expressed only in the context of
freedom and love. The Code of Hammurabi was formulated in an impersonal way,
while the commandment of YHWH, delivered to Moses, is direct and personal,
addressed to "you" with a command expressed this imperative. While

as the guardian of the person. You play two reciprocity: the human being is

the original God affda human being and then rises to its nature. All
this is not resolved at the level of religion, but engages and develops only in
of faith, which is a movement of the heart and intelligence, a "place" relations
emotional and spiritual.
Jesus opposes the law of retaliation nonviolence, that the only instrument capable of
sconfggerla (cf. Mt 5:39). Jesus goes beyond the law itself and expresses a radical step
: Revenge must be eradicated from the heart of man. Jesus states
behavior, but outlines a policy that we codifcare
in modern terms this way: if you want to change another, change yourself against it. If

inadmissible for not being complicit in a perversion of the system.
violence as expressed not objective and can not be resolved without returning to the sender

In the sixth and final antithesis Jesus leaves intact the mosaic system, simply turn it over:

hatred for the enemy, passing the love of the enemy that it is included in a report
of "relationship" with God Jesus' passage is complex: it starts with

after the destruction of Jerusalem, says that the commandment of love
the next of Leviticus "is a major principle of the Torah" (Midrash Sifra to Lv
19:18). For the love of neighbor means to visit the sick, consoling
rents, to give a dowry to fdanzate, etc.. In turn, Maimonides (1138-1204), the
largest medieval Jewish commentator, reads the command in Leviticus
a moral: "Tell him [the upcoming] with kind words and respect his property
"(Mishnah, Yadaìm Déot / Mani, 6.3). The reference to "your Father who is in

" holy of holies, "moved to the broken body of Jesus:" Truly this man was the Son of God
"(cf. Mk 15,38.39). Now is fulfilled the desire of defnitivamente
Moses asks YHWH to show his glory, but that he is not allowed
"You can not see my face" (cf. Ex 33,18.20). The new morality and
new justice will be delivered to Jews and Gentiles, and they can set up
the mountain of the Lord and receive the revelation of the person God's own
that was denied to Moses. This is the news of Jesus, no more division between believers and nonbelievers
, but only the project of a God who reveals himself and invites humanity without distinction
to climb the mountain as prophesied by Isaiah (cf. Is 2:3-4).
Despite the differences, the teachings of Matthew and Luke is the same: love and brought
required by Christ to be freed from the constraints 'natural' in which instinctively

The horizon is the universality of God, where there are no categories, even that

that love is the "place" of his own presence, far removed from other places and spaces
sacral, religious and family. Love has in itself a divine dimension
that receives sacred rites, or instruments. It is not the Church who love, but
is the love that gives birth to the Church and it becomes only a
dimension where love can be expressed and generate again because "God is Love" (cf. 1 Jn 4:8).

of strict observance, deprive him of his nature and make it a good idol
market. God is not in the family, is not in the race, not fiddling
nationalism or pagan and Christian civilization, is not looking for roots, but he lives and hands -
party in the act of love because when you give, is consumed for
eternity (cf. Mt 5:48, Lk 6:36). No one who loves can is excluded from
of God, though apparently in the eyes of formal religion may appear
a love "wrong" because the God who is love is always greater than the heart of anyone
(cf. 1 Jn 4, 8, 3.20).
