How To Unlock Vip Combination Lock

Maranatha Come Lord Jesus

Let's silence before

hear the Word,
because Our thoughts are

already turned to the Word.
Let silence after

listening to the Word,
because it still speaks to us,

lives and dwells in us.

Let the early morning silence,
because God must have

the first word.
We silence

before bedtime,
because the last word

belongs to God
Let silence

just for the sake of the Word.

D. Bonhoeffer

Second Sunday of Advent years A

Gospel Mt 3, 1-12

In those days came John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near. " For he is the one of whom had spoken by the prophet Isaiah when he said: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."
And he, John wore clothing of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, his food was locusts and wild honey. Then Jerusalem, throughout Judea and the whole area along the Jordan went out to him and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
Seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who made you believe he can escape the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance, and do not think you can say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our father." Why I say that from these stones God can raise up children to Abraham. Already the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. I baptize you in water for repentance, but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, and I am not worthy to carry his sandals: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. He holds the shovel and clean up his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his barn, but will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire. "

Word of the Lord

converted to wonder

Don Roberto Seregni

E 'for several hours that will not stop snowing.

I have a lot of things to do this morning,

but I can not take your eyes off the window.

I like the white cloak which rounds off the corners,

light which lies almost asking permission.

The courtyard of the oratory is a unique and compact carpet

white, leafless trees come to life skeletons

elegant and light. ;
No, I can not. I can not resist. Put on my overalls and boots.

I allow myself an hour's walk.

Baruffini I go to a handful ordered

of houses on the banks of the Valtellina Soliva,

above Tirano.
After a few minutes walk to the old mule track

are silent.

And the Word on Sunday returned to the lips

to give rhythm to the walk.
, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Really we need it,

davvero la conversione è una delle urgenze della

vita cristiana che non possono ammettere deroghe.

Non dobbiamo illuderci di essere a posto, cristiani arrivati,

convertiti una volte per tutte.

La conversione è un cammino quotidiano, fatto di umiltà,

preghiera, cadute e ripartenze. 
What is the conversion of permanent life

the disciple who is open at the touch of the hand of God

At the heart of the Gospel of this Sunday is the strong appeal of the Baptist. The dry pen of Matthew describes him in poche battute.

Tutto in lui è in tensione verso Gesù. Ogni sua parola e ogni suo

gesto sono una freccia puntata in direzione del futuro Rabbì,

che non battezzerà con l'acqua del Giordano, ma con lo

 Spirito  Santo e fire.
We need strong word of Baptist

shakes us and awakens us.
We need to deal with its pending, true,

real deep.

We need it because they run the risk of drowsiness

between mushy and disgusting disguise the fake-

Christmas of good feelings (and good sales).

The scratchy voice of John the Baptist reminds us that Christmas to

which we seek is not the party of goodness

(or worse still doing good).

The old incandescent rediscover these days is the

truth of our lives, our expectation of the authenticity and quality

of our faith.
Courage brothers!

Let's open our hearts to the gentle touch and powerful grace,

learn to stop, convertiamoci to wonder, simplicity,

to the beauty of the infinite God who comes to visit us

as a man among men.

good week
