I have given a long break, but a blog you can not just leave like that!

The work that is now sending my last watercolor done during the recent stage in Blanca (yes, I too have been among the privileged!). Master Pedro Cano painted before us, before us, this same pot of hydrangeas. We have seen, as always, in a game, magic, poetry, pure color and leaves that become enchanted ...

Zipporah

lectio (Ex 4,19-20.24-26)

4 [19] The Lord said to Moses in Midian, 'Go, return into Egypt, because they are dead who plot against your life. " [20] And Moses took his wife and children, put them on the donkey and returned to the land of Egypt. Moses also picked up the rod of God [24] While traveling to the place where to stay, the Lord was against and tried to kill him. [25] Then Zipporah took a sharp flint, cut off the foreskin of her son and that he touched his feet and said: "You are a bloody husband to me." [26] Then he withdrew from him. It said the husband of blood due to circumcision.

Mosheh fleeing from Pharaoh, he took refuge in the land of Midian where he is greeted by Jethro priest who gives his daughter to wife Zipporah (Exodus 2:21).

We have a lot of news in regard to this woman, but we can grasp some crucial moment, because every word of Sacred text and as a "color - a contemporary poet writes - because your mind returns to travel back in time ... to grab a perfume taste ..." or as the rabbis teach, can read the white spaces.

The Word of God is a constant occurrence in the life of Moses' servant of God "par excellence (Ps. 105.26) and takes his wife and children and returned to Egypt. The family of Moses will experience difficulty in sharing God's servant goes to meet in Egypt to free the people from oppression, as if to relive the representation of the flight into Egypt of the Family of Nazareth and his return (cf. Mt 2.13 -15).

Zipporah, in our passage shows as an intelligent woman, practical, energetic, full of initiative, as well as caring and loving wife and mother.

The path that emerges is Zipporah and her husband of docility, submission in an ongoing religious silence. But during this episode we have a way mysterious and enigmatic, God deals with Mosheh and wants to kill him. Here we recall the episode with Jacob (Gen 32.23-32) but with a difference Jacob was alone, while Mosheh has beside him a woman where to find shelter: Zipporah. It is she who suddenly becomes the protagonist of the fight, in fact, defies God in order to save the mysterious and dangerous marito.Le struggles that we find in Sacred Scripture tells us that we can fulfill God's plan only if you fully his will and fulfill God's will, we must first cleanse their control. Mosheh is not circumcised, but God calls it!

Quest'irruzione abrupt and violent God in the life of Moses is the test the night, the fighting, the 'agony'. Moses must know the killing, humiliation, because the force that will live in him, not his but God, this needs purificarsi.Questa purification is done by Zipporah. She understands, you know that circumcision is the sign of positive response to God's man then took a sharp flint, cut off the foreskin of her son Gershom, and with the membrane removed touched the genitals of her husband (the 'foot' is a euphemism). She also proclaims the solemn words "husband's blood ..." that is a man who can not marry and that there was an outpouring of blood. These expressions still today, in Arabic, is that circumcision husband have the same root.

Why circumcision? The genitals are the organs that give life, and the blood is life itself. The stone knife makes us realize that we are clearly in a ritual context and Zipporah, the daughter of a priest, in this case turns out to be a priestess performing a ritual that saves. In fact, the outcome of the gesture gives life to her husband placating the wrath of God in the act of circumcision

we call to conversion as well as Ger says that 4 is a renewal of Jewish life in the expression indicates that the circumcision for the Lord to remove the foreskin of your heart .

The significance of circumcision is related to marriage at the time of engagement, a rite of initiation. In the history of Shechem seems that talking about this (cf. Gen 34). In other texts of Sacred Scripture we find the term circumcised. Jeremiah speaks of "uncircumcised heart" (Jer 1:4); "uncircumcised ears" is that the ear does not hear (Jer 6:10); "uncircumcised lips" (Exodus 6:12) lips are unable to understand that being circumcised parlare.Possiamo initially meant to be suitable for a normal married life, and only later assumes an ethical and religious significance, a sign of covenant with God, with aggregate God's people, belonging to the chosen people. Mosheh returns to Egypt to carry out its mission, but he returns with renewed Zipporah, available to a completely new and extremely challenging, able to project and wonder.

The verses of this we remain enigmatic, but it certainly is hidden behind something, perhaps through the red color "It's the color on your life ... is exploding ... but it is also the color of the sun dies. ... The autumn leaves are red milder or spite that still burns you and the bitter taste of revenge ... but it can also be an eternal promise of love " (L. Fornarina scribbles because , Borgosatollo 1999, p. 8).

Behind these poetic words, we can capture that "red" of love that Zipporah has in it for her husband Mosheh, that red of love that becomes pope between man and God in a terrible situation, as evidenced by God . It is love that drives this woman to be a practicing priestess for the other rite, love to be pushing Zipporah shares responsibility for the life of faith of Moses and not just a way to be or remain submissive wife to her husband. It is love that chooses life, it is love that helps Mosheh to meet God to implement His will. It is the help that God puts before man.

This aid we are best described by Gen 2.18, not in the sense of serving, but aid "is in front of him" term that indicates the identity of nature and at the same time complementary. And it is this complementarity that we find the love song that Zipporah addressed to her husband as an expression of the heart, interrogation of the other, very communion with each other. In fact, Zipporah follows Mosheh sharing all its events, while remaining subject to him who "was very tame any man on earth" (Num 12:3) and to God that he could be right, defender and savior of the upright in heart (cf. . Ps 7.11 to 12). Zipporah knows' that love is to recognize the gift of the other to me becoming at the same time, a gift for him. To love is to confess that life is all in this risky and fruitful relationship which is the reciprocal dono.Dicevamo that the verses are mysterious and enigmatic because between the two there is the mystery that is veiled by night, a night without spectators as it was Jacob, as it was for Adam and for other characters. The

"God of the thousand traps and one interminable silence," wrote the theologian Pier Angelo Sequeri, which continue to multiply "puncturing" the scale of history. It is the mystery of love between man and woman who will never be a reality it is only human, so deeply rooted in God and is radically open to him opening up to the story.

Human history, your history as well as the history of each pair is crossed by the story of God that is a story of compassion that takes to heart and the human suffering associated with each of us in this story of liberation and love. In this mystery of love is the prophecy because it everyday on the way to the meeting witness to God in faith and hope, by love alone reign.

Love becomes, in this way, calling: the promise of eternal love.
