Dramas of the suffering A famous Italian case that attracts the attention of the great public on the suffering of some sick forced to endure invasive therapies brings to reflect on the drama of the pain; as an example St. John of the Cross wrote the remarkable "Canticle espiritual" also for cause of the fact that had been locked up in one little room without light in the convent of Toledo, ill-treats physically put in between the poetics that sad refrain: "Although it is night" [r. Proclo].. One hopes that the technology and the research, also from the pharmacological point of view, can come in aid in the cases in which the drama of the suffering is alive; but for the moment it does not remain that the comfort of the prayer (than sometimes it can also attenuate the pain). - Lately has been concluded tragically the agony of a man that breathed thanks to one machine, to set a sad precedent one for similar cases; but it is asked to us if has been made all the possible one in order to help the sick, is attenuating the suffering, is trying to use the new mix of therapies to the vanguard adapted to the specific case. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 22, 2006 ![]() Mangers and trees of Christmas The Nordic tradition of the tree variously adorned seems is supplanting that one of the manger (that Pope Wojtyla it had defined in 2004 to be the more important symbol of the Christmas), in past it was also happened that in some schools in order to avoid to offend the students of other religions it had been decided beyond replacing the representation of the Christmas with classic tales, also not to prepare the innocuous crib (devised in 1223 to Greccio from St. Francis), that it would have to be the emblem of the tolerance, the peace and the dialogue between various people. To notice that the trees of Christmas are becoming more and more expensive, and the exorbitant type of price is perhaps not adapted to represent Who is born in a manger, without to consider that in order to adorn "decently" as from the tradition the pretended fir, that in the past is also happen to have take fire for overheating of the lights, is not to the capacity of all the pockets (.. maybe a preparation of a pagan festivity for rich). - Lately seems that the manger is always loved from the Italian and European people and also the new polemics about the Christmas carols are rather limited. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 20, 2006 n°: 308 Tunnel of life and hallucinations The science seems is inquiring on that phenomenon that many persons of various cultures and religions have told after to have been near to the death and then returned suddenly to the life, that describes a tunnel of light to the end of which a Person would be ready to receive serenely the spirits. Some scientists assume that the cause of this phenomenon is one cerebral status similar to the narcolepsy (one mix between the waking and the sleep) or is for the lacked flow of oxygen to the brain that would provoke of the hallucinations.. To remember, but, than there are also many reliable testimonies that tell of souls that after to have observed the own body in state of death appearing from the outside and what happened also in other places, one time saved from the medical staff changed unregulated life habits, and generally tend to approach to the religion (in this case healthy hallucinations). e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 05, 2006 n°: 299 Pope Luciani towards the beatification Leave from Belluno in Italy the way that could last ten years in order then to carry to the beatification of a Pope that has been like a meteor, but however has perhaps left a deep memory in the souls of simplicity and firmness. While it is under consideration the veracity of the numerous miracles happened for the intercession of Albino Luciani, it remains the problem on the "detective story" of the unexpected death of John Paul I perhaps for his will of deep renewal of the Church, trying also to depurate some not worthy economic managers of the Vatican finances. Remarkable also the theological message left us from the Venetian Pope, of a God that beyond to being father is also a loving mother (theory of strongly emotional impact that somebody have put in argument). e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 11, 2006 n°: 279 Gospels "adulterate" Following a conference delivered from a famous prior on the Pity like higher attribute of the Perfection, we discover that the famous piece of the John Gospel relative to adulteress woman, in the ancient codes had been eliminated because considered scandalous, or appeared sometimes in the Luke Gospel, sometimes in that one of John or quite like paper scattered; then it has been finally decided to put it in that one of John also in a place perhaps literarily little adapted. That there were in the Gospels of the translation errors, there are many to support it; but to come to acquaintance that has been also of the censorship maneuvers is truly a little strange, and then which was in origin the exact positioning of the wonderful piece of adulteress (perhaps would be important to respect the correct novelistic flow of a historical document). In any case we pardon is the errors that the "adulteration".. waiting for the corrections. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 23, 2006 n°: 266 Victims like sterile statistics From a research published from the Lancet review that has provoked some controversy, would turn out that would be by now approximately 650 thousand the victims calculate of the conflict in Iraq, a tragic figure like also the method of reckoning of the type "electoral algorithm", generally used for the great natural catastrophes in which it is not possible to carry out calculations reliable. Also for the recent conflict in Lebanese land some supply the elevated percentage of children between the reckoning victims, always numbers that they make to lose sight the suffering of the individuals, the relatives and knowing..; (but these wars it was not just possible to avoid them?) Some doubt rises also for the denunciations on uses of not conventional, electronic arms or with the presence of particular materials that provoke serious lesions in the persons hit sometimes without that the specialist staff succeeds to characterize one effective therapy for the victims of the conflicts. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 13, 2006 n°: 260 Day of the peace between the wars It's hoped in a few of tranquillity at least in this day dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi patron of the peace and also of Italy (with St. Catherine of Siena celebrated the 29 of April) in spite of the last sad developments of the conflict is in Afghanistan that in Iraq, with the continuous loss of lives (and withdrawals announced for the month of July and then slips..), in missions defined of peace relatively to the point of view, clouded from the propaganda of the information media, of the confused observer. There are also of the wars of which is not had nearly never news, like that are involved vary countries of Africa perhaps because there aren't economic interests in game for the western countries, but sometimes true and own humanitarian tragedies that upset the consciences. The true one Peace can only come from the Lord God and the testimony of the Saints confirm that in the centuries, hoping but, that can also be found a solution to the too many conflicts that bloody the world. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 04, 2006 n°: 255 Married or unmarried clergymen An other disagreeable fact in the church has been taken place after that one of the incomprehension with the Muslims faithful, this time is involved the vertces of the ecclesiastical hierarchy in a spiny dispute with regard to the circumstance if the clergymen can marry themselves or must maintain the celibacy. The vicissitude is tied to the decision (indeed atypical) of the archbishop M. to order of the married bishops, although opportunely John Paul II had tried dissuader it from harmful schismatic intentions. The reasons of the celibacy derive from the decision in the sacerdotal consecration to dedicate itself entirely to the Lord God, without having impediments or distractions that could hinder the religious mission of pastor of souls, the deep meditation and the prayer. - Lately Monsignor M. has declared of have followed the apostles example, but only St. Peter was married and the "great" Saint Apostles in the centuries that have operated to Christ imitation was near all monks. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 28, 2006 n°: 251 Unhealthy religious intégrisme Sometimes the religions are used like ideological instrument in order to foment conflicts of every type, instead in order to promote the peace, the understanding and the dialogue between populations of various cultural extraction, and also the Pope has admonished that the "Saint war" is against the nature of the Lord God. The fundamentalism is contrary to Mahomet from the moment that the Koran filler: "no constriction in the faith things", and the faith is fruit of the spirit.. (but sometimes the economic reasons do not allow to feel those of the spirit). Then the Muslims of the world have protested regard to the speech of Benedict XVI to Ratisbon, too much provocative sentence and offensive, not online with the purposes of dialogue with all the religions [unfortunately has been killed in Somalia also the nun Leonella, Rosa Sgorbati of 70 years old, very busy in the children and sick assistance]. - Lately the pontifex has regretted for the happened and has promoted also an encounter with the religious leaders and the ambassadors of the countries Muslims, in sign of reconciliation and in order to promote the dialogue. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 23, 2006 n°: 243 Permanent tragedies of immigration Various barges loaded with immigrants often ramble in the Mediterranean and are thousands the victims of these travels of the hope taken place during the summer, but arrives in Italy the survivors that have paid the travel to criminal organizations, often are also exploits in inhumane conditions of the "red gold mines" used for the crop of tomatoes, underpaid, beats.. if not worse. Even if changes the departure point the situation doesn't change; in fact hundreds of Polish immigrates and of the east Europe that are quite disappeared after are probably brings in the lands of the tomato industry (but the routes of immigration follow ways difficultly monitoring). e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 18, 2006 n°: 246 Pray and Meditation * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
