JACOB

lectio
From the Book of Genesis (from 32.23 to 32)
32, [23] During that night he (Jacob) rose , took his two wives, two maidservants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of Jabbok. [24] He took them, took them across the stream and also sent over all his possessions. [25] Jacob was left alone and a man wrestled with him until the breaking dawn. [26] Seeing that he could not win it, hit him in the articulation of the femur and the articulation Jacob's dislocated femur, while continuing to fight with him. [27] And he said, "Let me go, for the day dawn." Jacob said: "I will not leave unless you bless me." [28] He asked, "What's your name?". He replied: "Jacob." [29] He said, "You shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed." [30] Then Jacob asked him: "Tell me your name." He replied, 'Why do you ask my name? ". And he blessed him. [31] So Jacob called the place Peniel, "Why - he said - I have seen God face to face, yet my life is preserved." [32] when the sun, when Jacob passed Penuel, limping and hip.

Like Jacob, also in the personal lives of each of us strange things happen. The song, in this month, the sacred author puts forward is very difficult for her genre.
In this chapter of Genesis tells of Jacob's encounter with a character, not well defined, on a night on the river Jabbok. We note in the context
track of night and solitude in which they met. "Jacob was left alone," (v. 25). The
"stand alone" in the night can bring fear, but favors the encounter with God, because the chatter ceases the day and remain in solitude and listen.
The "chatter" is the vain-Loquendo inauthenticity metaphor of human existence that is lost in the anonymity of "is" impersonal.
experience like we have an authoritative character of the Sanhedrin: Nicodemus, the man meets Jesus at night (cf. Jn 3.1 to 21).
At night, the place of silence, it deprives man of the chat room talk, which is the Bible, the true condition of existence as existence in the face of God
the experience of Jacob, God shows the ' ambiguity of the next, provocative and disturbing: "And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of" (v. 25). It is the anonymity of God who comes to meet each one of us through the voice of a teacher, a sage, a friend or a stranger, to recognize and surrender is not surrender to what was until then, but passion and comparing that require commitment and struggle.
Fighting for Jacob becomes his Gethsemane (probably Aramaic gat s mane and = "mill"), in other words, the place where his mill will be broken, broken, ground, living agony, a fight an experience of death.
to believe Jacob is wrestling, where the reasons for yes or no to the clash and where, suddenly, the "yes" is binding on no, internal strength, "Seeing that he could not win it, hit him in the articulation of the femur and the articulation of the femur ... Jacob said: "I will not leave unless you bless me." ... He said, "You shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed." Then Jacob asked him: "Tell me your name." He replied, 'Why do you ask my name? ". And he blessed him "(vv. 26-30).
Hosea, write that on this episode: "As an adult (Jacob) wrestled with God, wrestled with the angel and he won, and wept asked Grace "(Hos 12.4-5).
Here we have an event that appears as a favor to ask, "who in the Book of Wisdom is translated as piety, prayer," gave him the victory in a tough fight because he knew that godliness is more powerful than all "( Wis 10:12).
must be adults, and grow ever stronger in faith to fight, even if in the fight of faith, God is stronger than any resistance and sooner or later he enters our lives in a move unthinkable and unexpected. The prophet Jeremiah
impetuous experience this action of God in his life the same as tripping with which Jacob is won, as a mill that grinds the Peter: "Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I could not resist. You have recourse to force and you got what you wanted "(Jer 20.7).
is the enigma of God that fascinates and escapes human grasp. We can not take ownership, "Let me go, for the day dawn" (v. 27). Jesus says to John the Baptist at the beginning of the proclamation of the Kingdom: "Leave it for now, for us to fulfill all righteousness. So lets do "(Matt. 3:15), and when everything is about to take will say to his disciples," Let. Up to this point "(Lk 22.51).
Returning to our story, it seems at first glance that the man is winning, but there is something more in that fight prayer: Jacob is forced to reveal his name, trust in the hands of the mysterious character (of God), his whole personality.
In Jacob we change the name. The name Jacob means "usurper" of his brother Esau (see January from 25.25 to 26) is now Israel (Yisra'el = "He fights with El"), freely interpreted as "to contend with God:" Why did you fought with God and with men and have prevailed "(v. 29).
In his struggle, his insistence on this, the man does not despair but only gets face to face with God, is measured in his designs, we compare with the promises of God no longer scream, not cry anymore because something new is born in him, something is growing inside of him is the power of the Word effectively penetrating up to their marrow (cf. Heb 4:12). But even if
Jacob asks for the name to the mysterious character, once again God shows unexpectedly, refusing to say the name because it is inaccessible, following in a silent blessing, because in the name of God is blessing: "In every place where I remember my name I want, I'll come to you and bless you "(Exodus 20:24). "His blessing spreads like a river and irrigates the land like a flood" (Sir 39.32).
It is a blessing that dwells in practice and every fragment of human time, because in our struggle praying with God, we are with Him "face to face" (v. 31), as the experience of Moses at Sinai, where God began reveals itself as being: "I am who I am" (Exodus 3:14).
is a direct experience, dynamic because you quit inwardly transformed the experience of Jacob teaches us that this transformation is its elevation to a partner of God, be responsible, without losing the flavor (cf. Mt 5:13), because called flavoring, not only their lives but also those of others who will meet on its path. "And anyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my name's sake, will receive much more "(Matt. 19:29).

question
1. Solitude scares you or is the space where the voices are silent to listen to the chat and meet with God?
2. What fight of faith face every day, to live a new identity for myself, before God?
3. Like Jacob, I can trust my life in God's hands?
4. I am ready to be partners with God, to give flavor to my life to live with responsibility, where he calls me to flavor?


Prayer Lord, you are discreet and quiet that you do not taxable by force, but you hide and wait patiently. Sometimes I seem distant or absent, and the struggle between belief and disbelief. But you O Lord, are stronger than my strengths and weaknesses, and triumphs in my unbelief. It gives flavor to my life because I, with responsibility, to give flavor to those who meet every day in my life, not for me, but for those who have more than I need you.

actio
Repeat often and ponder this word:
"Looking at him you will be beaming, staying with him not be ashamed of your faces" (cf. Ps 34:6).

SARAH

lectio
From the Book of Genesis (16.1-2; 18,1-2.9-15; 21.1-2)
16, [ 1] Sarai, Abram's wife, did not give him children. But having an Egyptian slave named Hagar, [2] Sarai said to Abram, "Behold, the Lord has prevented me from having children, join to my slave, maybe I can have children by her." 18, [1] Then the Lord appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent in the heat of the day. [2] He looked up and saw three men standing near him. As soon as they saw, ran to meet them from the tent door and bowed to the ground, [9] Then he said: "Where is Sarah your wife?". He replied: "It 's there in the tent." [10] The Lord replied, "I will return to you a year from that date and then your wife Sarah have a son." Sarah was listening at the tent, which was behind him. [11] Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in years, had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. [12] So Sarah laughed to herself and said, "I should have withered like to experience the pleasure, as my old gentleman." [13] But the Lord said to Abraham: "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I indeed bear a child, am old? [14] Is there anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time come back to you on the same date and Sara have a son. "[15] Then Sarah denied," I did not laugh, "because he was afraid, but he said:" Yes, you did laugh. " 21, [1] The Lord visited Sarah as he had said and did to Sarah as he had promised. [2] Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, in the time that God had set.

read these pages Genesis contains the story of Sarai Abram's wife even if the pages cited, they report the story of Hagar.
the story of Sara comes to each of us, is twofold: sterility and gratuity.
The Bible does not say much about Sarah's barren, but in dim light we can see his pain and suffering of all infertility, "Behold, the Lord has prevented me ... '(16.2).
This woman, sterile, it embodies the suffering for the lack of maternity, yet has within him a strong will not to resign and then allowed to use the methods. Sara is not the only woman in the Bible that is prevented, sterile: see, for example, Anna wife of Elkanah (See 1 Sam 1:1 ff).
Because of his great strength he was changing the name: "God also said to Abraham, stop calling your wife Sarai, henceforth her name is Sarah. through you I'll give you a son "(Gen 17.15-16).
Here is a word game that takes on different meanings in Hebrew: the by Sara Sara h . The name that ends with the letter the , as in Hebrew, some suffixes end of ownership, seems to emphasize the presumption of Sarai when he decided in his heart to give her maid to her husband to help ensure the offspring, so that want and that God promises. But that was not the help that Sarah could give to her husband, but from a Sarah able to give up all possessions to the benefit of the presumption of their own uterus (the meaning of the letter h ) The nature of woman and mother in charge of real children.
The name change, the Bible shows God's plan for the person, people, in fact, the name Sarah means "Princess Mia". Sarah, it will be the mother of many kings. This will power the Lord bless you, visit Abraham and makes a promise unprecedented.
The 'Inaudito "is present in the life of this couple, it becomes a meeting place because sterility is fruitful, because it will bear fruit: create!
The announcement that God does is unprecedented because it challenges the natural order, but "there is perhaps something impossible for the Lord?" . In
Bible, these are words that are repeated when God calls someone to carry out his plan of love (cf. Lk 1,19-20.37). These are words that are repeated every time when God visits to each of us and find some obstacle, when our life is like a lifeless desert, barren, " as a barren land without water" (Ps 62.2) , burned like a desert, like a dead end, a closed horizon without hope, as a huge void without waiting, as the womb of a woman incapable of generating. To thirst for God is already a gift of God Left to itself, the flesh is nothing but rejection, eyes closed, ears Turate, hardened heart (Mt 13.10-15).
Often this is our life! There is no point living to live, it makes sense to live if you praise God for the grace of God infinitely surpasses not only physical life, but one which gives it meaning.
is a story of faith that we have before us a faith that becomes a risk. "These are two distant horizons to which man must walk with a long and exhausting journey that depicts the dialectic of faith, always suspended wing promise and risk '(G. Ravasi).
But just because faith is transformed into risk, the faith of Sarah in front of words dell'Inaudito knows the doubt, suspicion, hesitation, suspension: "So Sarah laughed to herself and said: "I should have withered like to experience the pleasure, while my lord is old!" (18.21).
There is a bit 'of irony in the attitude of a reaction from Sarah and dell'Inaudito, the three characters (God).
The story of this woman teaches that there is a desperate situation that God does not know how to flip: "I shall return to you the same day and Sarah have a son (18.14). God is the reaction of fear and embarrassment and a certain self-defense "" I did not laugh "" (18,15). In the Bible
rice has several meanings, but Sarah laughed in his self-defense and we can read our laughter, our fiction before the Word of God, before his words that keep calling, but God knows that rice is a new humanity in turn, promise, assurance, life, a gift for each other ... because the Lord "will not call more Forsaken, and your wasteland, but you will be called My Delight and your land Married "(Is 62.4), the son born be named Isaac, meaning" YHWH laughed. "
Yes, God laughs before obstacles. His laughter sweeps all our doubts, fear, all evil men, "He who is seated in heaven if he laughs, the Lord makes a mockery" (Ps 2:4; see also Ps 37.13, 59.9).
"It's a rice disarm in the truest sense, depriving the apparent strength of his powerful dominance and arrogance of unbelief "(Gerhard Ebeling).
"In the time that God had laid down" (21:2). There is a time that God sets for Sarah, for each of us to visit. On time, the rice of God bringing victory over visiting Sarah's sterility, bringing the gift to create the miracle of birth, the transition from being infertile to be fruitful life, because a visit from God is to meet life. Generate
, for the Bible, not the expression of a natural law of God but the event staff where everything is transforms into a gift.
meeting with the life Sarah discovers "something more" that is where God's personal love for Sarah, it begins a new relationship, a new path. In the attitude of
Sarah seems to remember the words of Jesus: "Whoever remains in me bears much fruit. Who does not remain in me is thrown away "(John 15:5-6).
This is the dilemma posed by Jesus to his disciples to accept being grafted into Him or be deleted, because "without me ye can do nothing" (Jn 15:5).
Who is' in me. " Jesus emphasizes this remain in him as a source and goal of personal and community life, is the only evangelical and pastoral path of fertility because it has the fruitfulness of Christ who gave himself for love. The bear fruit depends on the personal relationship with Jesus the disciples to do so is sterile, dry, useless to themselves and to others.
"Then you are my disciples" (Jn 15:8). It is a meaningful conclusion. It was only in consequence of the disciples to remain in Christ and remain in him that from this comes the duty of the witness.
Even Sarah, in her life, discovering the "more", he stayed in the Word of the Lord, giving meaning and value his own life and that of others in generating all Isaac, and the smile of God, becoming mother of Israel.
Her motherhood becomes free until death, until it reaches the Earth that God promised to give.
Sarah died in one hundred twenty-seven years his gratuity was an example to all, even in a foreign land Abraham bought the land and Hittite, Ephron son of Zohar, the cave of Machpelah to bury Sarah (Genesis 23).

ABRAHAM

lectio
From the Book of Genesis (from 12.1 to 4)
The Lord said to Abram, "Leave your country, your kindred and your father's house to the land I will show you. I will make you a great nation and bless you, will make your name great and be a blessing, bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you and in you shall be blessed all the families of the earth. " So Abram went, as the Lord commanded him.

The song tells the story of a call followed by an answer: the story of our faith, beginning with Abraham the father of believers, is contained in the preparation and is Jahvist preparing the deeds of Abraham and all the patriarchs.
God manifests himself, says: "in you shall be blessed all the families of the earth" (v. 3c) is a renewal with the story of the origins (Jan 2-11), a story that begins with Adam (= coming from the soil, Hebrew Adamah = earth, translated later by personal name Adam) and his curse of disobedience source (= 5 times in Gen 3,14.17, 4.11, 5, 29, 9.25).
The story begins with Abraham's obedience full of blessing that is mentioned in the song 5 times.
"Go from your country, your country and the neighboring your father, to .... "
God speaks. For Abraham is something unheard of until then because he was always to turn to God and not vice versa, but what upsets most of this time Abraham is that God does not look like perfection, but as one who stoops to by establishing a relationship of communion with him and dialogue. In this relationship with God, Abraham discovers a "more" and accept his invitation to leave, to leave everything. Abraham
part leaving what are the origins of human life by breaking the trunk of his land, his people, his clan renounce to all the security that you can find and accept the "more" God who loves him and with him at every moment.
In his welcome, Abraham; listen to God with faith and obedience as if he was going over the words of the Psalmist: "Hear, O daughter, give ear and forget your people and your father's house" ( Ps 45.11). These are words that the poet turns to his girlfriend and alluded to the vocation of Abraham must leave his country, his people, his homeland, a destiny linked with that of the king and his people and this is the fate that Abraham is a great blessing.
The words of the psalm: Look, look, give ear, Abraham attitudes are crucial and that everyone must take in dealing with the Word of God
"So Abram went." The relationship with God requires a response. Abraham responding in obedience to the Word of God Obey refers to the Latin root means ob-audit and agreed to play, a play that sticks with its "yes" to what he hears.
Abraham, in fact, driven out from their land by the word of God, who promises to give it a name and a great people and this is because "The King Messiah was enamored of your beauty" continues the psalmist.
In the call that God makes to Abraham, to each of us there is a beauty contained in obedience and trust, two ends that extend the our horizon where God will be the end of the weekend. Abraham
part and is geared towards greatness, that of God, not to enter into a utopia, but to enter into the fullness of the mystery, leaving the center of his security to get into that of grace.
But why would immediately obey? Why not ask for anything? Why not ask questions, demand explanations? Why not put conditions? "Gotta get away from my country", why? And then to where? "Being in strange land" outside "from my safety," outside "from my area, why?
Abraham does not arise these and other questions, but simply obeys, responds to God with a "yes", does not want to know, because his knowledge is new now, and this news is disclosed to you in the God who spoke to him and trusts him
The beginning of Abraham, the trust he puts in God meant that St. Paul defining "the father of all believers" (Rom 4:11 ff). For example, we are constantly that invites us to trust the Word abandoning its you who can not disappoint, and always trust in any case.
But how can you ask, obey, trust no guarantees? Abandonment of Abraham, there is a humble, who lost him to rise and get rich, "I will make you a great nation and bless you, will make your name great and be a blessing. " Abraham discovers that she possesses a wealth does not consist in things for himself, but in enriching the other. In fact, God said: "In you shall be blessed all the families of the earth." It looks like a walk in the words of Jesus when he says: "Do not store up treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal . For where your treasure is, your heart will be also "(Mt 6.19 to 21).
is a promise of happiness that is contained in the blessing, happiness is intended to all the families of the earth. The money is not the end of the blessing of Abraham's call but the call to happiness. You and I are wanted to be happy. Abraham teaches that happiness is very strange, is not achieved by ignoring the self but caring for others and that wealth is not a fill his piggy bank, but empty, not in wanting things for themselves, but give it.

question
1. What hits you the figure of Abraham, to whom God spoke to him asking him to leave everything (land, home, family) and leave? What does it mean for you to "come out" as Abraham?
2. Can you feel the sense of freedom and happiness for the fact of being in front of you that God loves you?
3. Have you ever thought about the sense of obedience as confidence and trust in God?
4. Have you ever thought that your happiness is being a gift to each other?

prayer

today You Lord speaks to me, calling me by name and interest in my story.
Like Abraham, I trust you and I surrender to you because I know you love that does not disappoint and defeat the darkness of chaos and death. Makes my life a blessing and a treasure for those I will meet along the way and at my side. Amen

Central to the success of the ambitious project were also the secretary of the band, Leonardo Carmignani, and the official interpreter of the trip to the USA, Andrea Paoletti, useful for communicating with the organizers and the authorities with which our Monteleonesi have come to contact.

The Last Trench: We're back to 1918!

Other than Cinecittà! Umbria can offer much more ... and seems to have also understood Alberto Sironi. The director of Varese in fact is turning in the small town of Vallo di Nera a miniseries that will air Rai Fiction in two episodes in the fall on Rai Uno. Filming started in the first days of July, after closing the set of the Colle Bertone and Polino, where they were relived the terrible armed conflicts of the Great War. The making of the film, however, required a large number of extras and figures and many of our children Monteleonesi answered the call. Young and old have had so the chance to live unforgettable moments, to learn about famous actors and wear clothes of 1918: a 'unique experience. He also contributed to the making of the film also Body Band "Carlo Innocenzi," which he performed on the set playing the Italian Royal March, sliding down perfectly in the role of the military band the First World War. Obviously, the effort was completed with the utmost professionalism, so much so that a band occurred on the set with tools from the early years of the 900, well preserved. Thanks to its outstanding performance our band received the same compliments Sironi, as it was being recorded at only a single attempt to put just the audio of the scene. No doubt this was a prestigious and important collaboration, which is further confirmation of the quality and value of our band, one of the most renowned Valnerina. We hope that the passion for music will always burn in the hearts of so Monteleonese as it has been over the years. We wish our country to reach better targets El Machico greets you ...
