Solemnity of the Holy Trinity

6 June, 2020 Webmáster 0
The Word is Jesus Christ, the eternal Word of the Father, through whom it has been revealed and spoken to us in the fullness of time, the Logos before all and embodied in the virginal bosom of Mary. In the Church every Sunday the Word is proclaimed in the celebration of the Eucharist as a light that illuminates the world and every human being. With the desire to make this Word closer, from the suggestion of our Archbishop Cardinal Juan de la Caridad, we begin this new section in #Palabra New Digital. We intend to facilitate the reading in private or as a family of the readings of each Sunday or public holiday, which will lead us to personal or community prayer, to the contemplation of the mystery and to the incarnate and committed meditation of its contents, that is, to the encounter with Christ, the Word, which guides our steps on the path of life.

Great friend of #Cuba, the hospitable priest Simon Azpiroz, expresses from Ecuador his concern about how the day after the global health emergency will be based. For this Spanish missionary, there will be many socio-economic and cultural challenges in the future #pospandemia. However, he confesses, “guidelines will have to be proposed to confront them and, as #Francisco says, a great citizen ‘movement’ will have to be fostered that breaks with ‘fixed or expired structures’ to rebuild society from ‘the necessary antibodies of justice, charity and solidarity’, in favour of ‘sustainable and integral development’ to protect humanity.”

Nel suo recente messaggio per la Giornata Mondiale delle Comunicazioni Sociali, il #Papa Francesco ha sottolineato che la storia di Cristo non è un’eredità del passato. Merita di essere detto, ma alla stessa altezza. Questo tempo di lontananza fisica ha dimostrato la necessità che il #Iglesia di comunicare.

La fede che dignitosa e liberata.

For the Catholic intellectual, Ivette Fuentes de la Paz, these months of necessary estrangement have taught us to consider life from another perspective, to value situations in a different way, which is to revalue them and, above all, to see better the essential things and not the conjuncttures. These, he says, “make life live as a circumstance full of equally circumstantial bonds, and not as the best gift God has ever given us.”
