The mouth of the Tiber river is navigable by large boats. The banks, observed dal'acqua, offer a very picturesque views: there are undamaged areas with dense vegetation, populated by herons and coots, and other places where many buildings but fate no rules have marred the landscape. However, even against the background of anonymous houses, you still see old wooden shacks and piers jut out from where the typical trammel nets.

lectio
(Gen 37,3-8.18.21-22.26-36.45,2 - 9.46,1-7)
37, [3] Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, and had a coat of many colors. [4] His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his sons, hated him and could not speak peaceably. [5] Now Joseph had a dream and told it to his brothers, they hated him even more. [6] he said unto them: "Hear this dream that I did. [7], we were binding sheaves in the field, when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright and your sheaves came around and bowed down to my" . [8] They told him his brothers: "You want to rule over us or maybe we want to dominate?". And they hated him even more because of his dreams and his words. [18] They saw him afar off, even before he came near them, they conspired to kill him. [21] And Reuben heard it and wanted to save him from their hands, saying: "Do not togliamogli life." [22] And he said unto them, Shed no blood, cast him into this pit that is in the desert, but do not hit it with your hand "and he wanted to save him from their hands and bring him back to his father. [26] Then Judah said to his brothers: "What profit is it if we slay our brother and conceal his blood? [27] Come on, sell him to Ishmaelites and our hand is against him, he is our brother and our flesh ". His brothers listened to him. [28] passed by Midianites merchantmen, they pulled up and pulled out from the tank and Joseph for twenty pieces of silver sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites. And Joseph was brought down to Egypt. [29] When Reuben returned to the tank, here Joseph was gone. Then he tore his clothes, [30] returned to his brothers and said: "The boy is gone, where shall I go?". [36] Meanwhile, the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard. 45, [2] But he gave a cry of wailing and all the Egyptians heard, and it was well known in the house of Pharaoh. [3] And Joseph said unto his brethren: "I am Joseph my father still alive?". But his brothers could not answer, because at his presence. [4] And Joseph said unto his brethren "Come to me". They approached and said: "I am Joseph your brother whom you sold into Egypt. [5] But now do not be grieved and angry with yourselves you sold me here, because God sent me before you to preserve life. [6] for two years because there is a famine in the land again for five years there will be neither plowing nor harvest. [7] God sent me here before you, to ensure your survival in the country and to save you the life of many people. [8] So it was not you who sent me here, but God and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house and ruler over all the country 'Egypt. [9] Hurry up from my father and say: Thus says your son Joseph: God hath made me lord of all Egypt. Come down here with me and do not delay. 46, [1] Israel, then raised the curtains with possessions and came to Beersheba, where he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. [2] God said to Israel in a night vision: "Jacob, Jacob." He replied: "Here I am." [3] He said, "I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you a great nation. [4] I will go down with thee into Egypt, and I am sure I will come back. Giuseppe will close your eyes. " [5] Jacob rose up from Beersheba and the children of Israel did rise their father Jacob, their children and their wives in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry. [6] They took their cattle and all the goods they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and came to Egypt with Jacob that he and all his descendants, [7] his sons and grandsons, his daughters and granddaughters, all his offspring he brought with him to Egypt.
The story of Joseph (Gen 37.39-50; Ex 1.1 to 7) is inserted between copies of the stories of those who experience God "They were just in the eyes of God, looking flawless all the way commandments and precepts of the Lord " (Lk 1:6). But the story of Joseph has in it a meaning deep. It looks like a complete story, unlike the other stories that precede it.
In this story everyone can read their story, because the person of Joseph with his story is very symbolic, especially with facts about the passion of Jesus Christ
The text begins by saying: "Israel loved ..." (37.3 ), are full of words all the love of a father to his son, as if the only-begotten. Joseph was the son of old age, his stick. Jacob had placed in him, perhaps, hopes so much from him a coat of many colors, endowed with the most beautiful things.
But in this story there is also the idea of preference for the child of God (cf. Abel to Cain, and Jacob to Esau). This attitude towards
Jacob Joseph brought hatred against it and in particular the strange dreams that Joseph was telling.
How many times in the scenes of family life, even today, we find these disagreements, the children, siblings through this ... but perhaps there is a God's plan? In the background of this biblical scene, there is a pat-a gift from God that we can not perceive, because we are in a scenario of hate and dreams, that is in a dark scene.
Perhaps the Word tells us nothing, but something is about to be born in every heart, but it's night and we can not see and read the signs: our eyes and our hearts do not have that ability to go into the light to life, as Joseph's brothers who grew up with him death threats and nothing else.
In this passage also the person of Jacob is significant, on the one hand he accuses Joseph, perhaps gently, on the other hand, sought to understand (v. 8) with the acuity that the Lord had given him.
Even Mary, the mother of Jesus, trying to figure out the facts in his heart that every day was meeting (cf. Lk 2:51), recalling the pat-gift of God in his life.
So let us also pause to understand the text with the spiritual acuity that become more refined, so that now every word, line, sentence, fact, the character of the text, we can see Jesus Christ, breaking the shell of the nut to eat the contents (cf. St. Jerome, Letter 58.9 ).
Here we have a history of hatred and violence, where the words behind each reads his story, read the facts of every day that somehow lead him to life, led him to encounter the Lord of history and life.
Joseph and threatened with death as Jesus, Joseph is threatened with death as Don Giuseppe Diana († 19.03.1994), Father Pino Puglisi († 09.15.1993. E 'in its ongoing process of beatification as a martyr: already completed the diocesan phase, The documentation is now before the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in the Vatican) and many others like them, for the life choice they have made. But their blood has led other shoots of hope in the hearts and lives of many people, just like the famous phrase of Tertullian says "The blood of martyrs is the seed of new Christians."
The way of life goes on, but sometimes you have to stop to understand this phrase of the Psalmist: "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone, is this is the marvelous work of the Lord" (Ps 118.22 -23). Jacob
old in this story stops and retraces its history. In memory of having misled his brother, now her children refer to the same story deceiving him into believing that the bride's favorite son, died devoured by a wild animal.
How many times we hide behind a wild beast, to say the truth, not to do the Truth! Here too we can read the story of God who walks with us, calling us to serve him, even in a strange way because his love is great and boundless. Indeed, the sacred author notes discreetly that Joseph is everywhere God is with him, that of forgiveness from the heart continues to call many to follow.
In fact, in this experience which is inspired by the whole affair, the one that inspired Joseph to his brothers, is the law of forgiveness, the heart of every story.
This story is the story of Jesus, is the prolongation of Joseph is the son refused, crucified, which becomes "The firstborn from the dead" (Rev 1.5).
In this story God, as Jacob urges us to put on the road (Gen 46.1-7) on unfamiliar roads, foreign and new.
In everyday life we \u200b\u200balso have to say yes to God, we must leave and start over. The story does not present the following age groups, it can even seem to escape with Gen 46.4 recounts an episode of the Apostle Peter "Verily, verily, I say to you when you were young you girded yourself and walked where you wanted, but when you are old, stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not want. "He said this signifying by what death he would glorify God said this:" Follow me ""
When we were children, the questions we used for adults was obtained this answer: "when you are older you'll understand."
Joseph too, even though chosen by God waited through tribulation to see that behind her dreams, behind the his eyes were seeing, there was the work of God and therefore could say: "So it was not you who sent me here, but God (45.8).
Perhaps, we too, like Joseph, at this time we do not understand the concept of God, we can not see his plans to us, but "In the Bible, as in life - Kierkegaard writes - walking forward and back covers.
In this long story of Joseph, we can see the transformation that God works in us, when we walk with Him
God overturns any story because it lives behind and within our history to give us life, it does not enjoy the Lord of our death, but of life (cf. Ez 18.32).
on this journey with the Lord is born to life, we are the new men, who slowly learns that "the elect, called to struggle against any kind of famine, to go meet the real life.
The life of Joseph, who comes out of a dark situation (the tank) is the symbol of light and salvation for all, that is the new man which responds positively to the call, it gathers, collects driven by love, under a single tent : "Living in the land of Goshen ..." (Gen 45.10), that is "the best part of the country."
Joseph is the man who refused to be saved is saved and becomes the savior is the one who starts to give hope and life to a people.
And you ...?
question
1. Have you ever reflected on the destructive power of hatred and jealousy, feelings that grow mainly in the context of family relations?
2. Have you ever tried to understand who God is in your life?
3. let you turn from God's love for his instrument, or continue to succumb to evil?
4. Do you feel more saved or savior? Why?
prayer
The strong crush the weak, the clever tricks that the simple, the rich man who starves the poor, the man who dominates the man: this is the Lord of history. But you, O Lord, art in history and every day, from the inside, flip my history, transformation and renewal through the power of Love your constantly calls me to love.
actio
tries to reflect in your life with the words of a wise "My eyes have seen the salvation which you have prepared" (Jn 21.18-19).

The Roman hills near the area where I live is a subject very often. I like to look for changes in light and color that transmute continually the landscape.

What To Write In A Goodbye Card To My Boss
lectio (Gen 16,3-4.6-11.15, 21.8 to 20)
16, [3] Thus, at the end of ten years since Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram's wife took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid and gave her to Abram her husband. [4] He went to Hagar, and she conceived. But when she realized she was pregnant, her mistress was despised in her. [6] Abram said to Sarai, "Behold, your maid is in thy power: what flaws you think." Then Sarai dealt harshly so that she fled from her. [7] The angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the desert, the spring on the way to Shur [8] and said, "Hagar, slave of Sarai, where you come from and where are you going?". He replied: "I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai." [9] said to the angel of the Lord, "Return to thy mistress, submissive and degassed. [10] also said the angel of the Lord "will multiply your descendants can not be numbered for multitude." [11] He added Then the angel of the Lord, 'Look, you're pregnant: chiamarai and bear a son Ishmael, because the Lord has heard your affliction. [15] Hagar bore Abram a son: and Abram called his son Ishmael, whom Hagar bore, .
21, [8] The child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast when Isaac was weaned. [9] But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had given birth to Abraham, mocking her son Isaac. [10] she said to Abraham: "Cast out this slave woman and her son because the son of that slave shall not be heir with my son Isaac." [11] What is very displeasing to Abraham of his son. [12] But God said to Abraham: "I do not mind this, the boy and your maidservant: hears the word as Sarah tells you, listen to his voice, for through Isaac that you will name a race. [13 ] I will make a great nation, the son of a slave, because he is your offspring. " [14] So Abraham rose early in the morning, he took bread and a bottle of water and gave them to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, the child, and sent her away. She departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. [15] All the water in the skin was missing. Then she placed the boy under a bush [16] and sat down in front, the distance of a bow-shot, she said, "I do not want to see death of the child." When she was seated in front, he raised his voice and wept. [17] And God heard the voice of the boy and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said, "What ails you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is. [18] Get up, take the child and hold him by the hand, I will make him a great nation. " [19] And God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. Then he went to fill the bottle and watered the child. [20] And God was with the lad, who grew up and lived in the wilderness and became an archer.
Resume
a dramatic story, passed between the lines, presenting the person of Sarah.
In these pages we read a story of exclusion, violence, suffering and discomfort, the election in the person of Hagar. Perhaps it is not easy to understand, but we enter into the mystery, trying to stay "crooked" on the Word to dig on the words, the "pit" of God's love for his people.
First, just read a time signature (16.3), a time which means that each of us to build a future, we need to gain experience and maturity. To achieve this, we must have the ability to hear the Word of God and enter it into our heart for the Lord to guide us in His way.
course, not easy to make this journey because often the facts, the same Word of God, do not agree with our thoughts and create broken, torn between tears as the Sarah and her maidservant Hagar.
Note how there is a tear behind this madness and folly by Sarah Wise describes as: "restless woman is crazy, a fool who knows nothing" (Wis 9:13; cf. Qo 2, 2).
We know very well that these attitudes only lead to litigation, and someone must always suffer. Now, for the song, this is someone to whom Hagar the Angel of the Lord is called upon to heal the thought of the heart.
The song has three signs of recovery: 1) the same Angelo, 2) the source of water, 3) being pregnant.
The first indicates that the Angel, that is the messenger of YHWH ", the same Word of God which is manifested, for all returns in perfect harmony.
The second is the source of water. Water is a symbol of chaos, its lack of shape and this is a reminder of the book of Genesis, the conditions existing before the creation of the world. But water is also depicted as a symbol of life for Christians it is Christ himself, "living water flowing from Jerusalem" (Zech 14.8).
The last item mentioned is pregnant. Inside the woman there is great promise numerous descendants that can not be counted.
These three elements (each one can also highlight other) is Hagar reason to return by the owner "learn in silence with all subjection" . (1 Tim 2:11).
This attitude seems to be an announcement of the people in Egypt as slaves, subjected to the ideal Egyptian (Gen 50.18), and that "far away" will have to return to the promised land (To God).
Hagar wants to go away from his mistress (16.8), "The younger son gathered his belongings and set off for a distant country" (Luke 15:13). These expressions indicate that the move away from God, lost. But God will manifest himself in the desert of life, inviting him to return. For the
Hagar return to her mistress becomes a reason for lowering of "turn away" the word heard from the Angel because "Behold, saith the Lord, bent shoulders, and serve the king of Babylon dwell in the land given to me by your fathers' (2.21 Bar).
Somehow Hagar experiences of exile, where all obstacles and resistance, trusting the words of the angel for a loving embrace with his mistress, he returns. Hagar finds its strength not only in the words of the angel, but the child she is carrying (16:11) which will give the name Ishmael (God hears =), which collects the hopes of the future.
Ishmael was born, but affectionate embrace was not the case. The ways of God are made more mysterious to us more and more twisted, painful if we do not go deeply in His Word.
Hagar suffers a triple violence. the first to be enslaved, dispossessed of their freedom to be of service Abraham and Sarah, but its not esucutrice of their project. The second
violence is that of jealousy that turns into a vengeful fury, not only in respect of Hagar, but also in that of the child. The third is that the same Abraham who, instead of defending of Hagar, Sarah exposes it to revenge and becomes co-responsible even though the biblical text is content to give a theological justification for the incident (from 21.12 to 14) .
To you who read these pages please do not be scandalized by this, even if Paul describes Abraham as "the father of faith" (Rom 4:11) and Sarah is presented as an example (Hebrews 11:11). But even in these behaviors lies the thought of God
Each of us can be answered in the Bible that is not the story of men and ideal women, but the story of God's love for humanity, for every man and woman as they are and who once found God, they begin to change their lives. Although the Bible was a collection of uplifting stories, would have little to teach us. That's why I said from the beginning you have to be "bent on the word" because the word may "untied" from our slavery, because God is on the side of the defeated, by those who are crushed by the machinery of history. In
Hagar found the story of a woman losing, but there are also the same God of Abraham Tipping its history of death in life history (21.13). It is in these lines that we can catch the deep meaning of the Bible and accept it as the Word of God
"Abraham on his shoulders Hagar bread and water ..." (21:14). They are symbols of life that humanity charge every day on his shoulders, which is called to bring symbols of the effort, symbolized by the weight on his shoulders.
The symbols of bread and water, in the Bible, depicting the presence of God who continues to care for even despair, in a situation of death to achieve its design: Abraham, Hagar's son handed over to them because, although the path leads to death, the desert bloom (see Is 32.15), there emerged a great nation (cf. Is 49:15). This confidence in the song contains the words that the angel announced to Hagar: "What's wrong? do not be afraid! " (21:17).
are words that our heart welcomes every time and again that our story is not included, are words of support for life.
In symbols we read that Abraham over the symbols of Christianity, the result of God's love in handing over his only begotten Son "by putting on his shoulders," a new bread and a new water (the scaffold), because from Him, "a spring gushing" birth of a new people.
God can do this happen. He who by his force can do everything, and we have proven with Christ, freeing him from the dead revived today continues to deliver us from our death situation to lead us back to life is the passage from winter to spring that we are all called to do, where everything flourishes, the resurrection "walk", the future is guaranteed.
singular and universal is the love of God in the sense that God loves each person in his individual reality and not as part of a group, to a people, a nation, a religion. God loves so universal in the sense that his love extends to all without charge, without distinction or preference because the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob is also the God of Ishmael, which hears the groan.
The song ends with a view of the future of Ishmael: a hunter, a parent of a nomadic tribe.
The Christian is called to be nomadic, hunter "From now on you'll be the hunter of men" (Lk 5:10). It is an endowment that shares the same mission of Jesus, that enabled the Gospel to win many, if not all men as does the hunter who takes to the snare birds and the fisherman with the net the fish.
