How Do I Fix The Cursor On My Toshib
I'm thinking about your comments ... write soon the thoughts that I have raised ... while we await further reflections on your part.
I would post some advertisements of the University Centre St. Andrea ... if anyone is interested.
Tuesday November 2 is celebrated on the day of commemoration of the dead. I guess, unfortunately, we all have relatives, friends or colleagues to remember. For those who want it, I will celebrate the s. Mass for the dead, November 2 at 17.30 hours, at the Church of St. Andrea, Via Porta Painted, 39, Bergamo (upper town).
I wanted to remind you that, always at the same church, starting from Wednesday 27ottobre each Wednesday from 8.00 to 19.00 and every Saturday from 20.00 to 24.00, you can gather in prayer, a personal prayer of adoration in the company of the Lord present in the Eucharist.
If you believe, write the date of December 14 , as always at the church of St. Andrea, at 17.45, the Bishop of Bergamo will celebrate the s. Christmas Mass for the University.
Thanks for your kind attention.

Can I Use Bluetooth On Airplane
Since I am a priest ... Reflections start
are priest for 23 years. I started out, as often happens, a chapel, precisely Alzano Maggiore, in the Valle Seriana. Almost always have been called to youth employment and my service has always crossed with the need to guess the younger generation the importance of the Gospel to their lives. There was a time when I thought that it was necessary to speak of man to reach first and then to introduce the basic meaning of Jesus, his life and his death. I held meetings on topics such as sexuality, politics etc.. But I noticed, in passing, that the move by young people I met in part by the fundamental dimensions of human life to the understanding of Jesus and his revelation is not taken. In the end it seemed that young people were living well without the Gospel ... the faith did not reflect the interest in self-discovery.
In recent years then, I have the impression that the way to live their faith on the part of young people (probably including those with later age) and structured moments: WYD with the Pope the pilgrimage, the particular event. However, when young people enter the same in everyday life, that of the university, for example, leave the event in memory lived and lead their lives without carrying out, at least in the community, what they have endured. Maybe they do individually, but you do not play in the community and in space and time that this provides for them ... In short, one gets the impression of a life of faith rhapsodic. Of course I say this in general, and generalizations are always generalizations. But the impression I have is that of constantly having to bear only a proposal for young people not to enter into play (except that this also happens in the university: everyone go there, do the exams, but when it comes to live all the universities back to their hut, and their own interests).
would be nice to hear what you think: why young people are not at stake? Fear? Indifference? Lack of projects and values? Too nomads to stop and enjoy an experience? Perhaps the Church and society requires incomprehensible things? They call without being able to postpone to make sense to gamble worth?
If you want, you can write what you think and create problems. If you do not have to pose problems, ask yourself where and how you live ... I wonder since I am a priest: where you live?
Hello everyone

Wafer And Rice Paper Incalgary
thank all those who have visited the blog and, in particular, who took the courage to leave her speech.
Of course, Andrea is right, the quell'avversativa Merini seems to introduce the theme of the knowledge of God and leads us to considerations on the relationship between faith and reason and demand to know what kind of faith allows. I will try condicidere of my reflection, without going into theoretical questions (although they are implied) because this blog would be accessible even for those who do not study philosophy or theology :-).
When I was young, I spent much of my time for fun, I belonged to a company that was found on Sunday after Mass, to decide what to do in the afternoon and during the week, after the study course (a little 'nerd it I have always been). There he made decisions like "let's dance", "go to another place to turn in wasp and give the pat on the behind the girls," "beer", "play and sing together," "a game of pool," " tennis or volleyball, " "Cinema" etc. ... it was a wonderful period of my life ... the buzz around the girls had a wonderful experience, hormones fast, but also the emergence of his own desire and identity: all in the eyes of allusive a girl (in a certain time I was able to fall in love a couple of times a week) ... One day something changed ... I went to Mass to meet with friends and because I liked the priest of the Oratory, a Bernanos to type all of a piece, but very paternal. But one day, it was Good Friday, I discovered something that has really passed back from head to toe in existence: the tenderness of God I have found that the death of Jesus was not only a step to get the resurrection, but an event on which to dwell, has great significance and I discovered her fondness for me ... is an experience that changed my life. I continued to have fun, to study, to be in love, but in an infinite joy, a tenderness that never left me ... even now I have 48 years ... this is the event, the adversative "but I know who loves me. " And that is why from this experience comes the feeling that faith, our relationship with Jesus, it makes you see things as if for the first time you see them: even the look of a woman, even the cathartic force of a ball, too desire, sexuality, civil life .... tenderness makes it like the first time, never gets old, you grow anchese, you become an adult and grow old ... I wish the event of the encounter with Jesus began tenderness and compassion ... never feel guilty because you want never to feel at fault because you're young ... ever. Instead understand that when you meet Jesus, you're able to say that he comes into your life with respect and tenderness, start talking to him, but also in him and discover that faith has to do with your life. E 'founding claim? Yes, but not violent, but human. Good
reflection at all. Don James

Pros And Cons Regular Oven
poetry
I wanted to start these conversations from a piece of poetry by A. Merini, taken from his book "Body of love. An encounter with Jesus ".... Fri I dedicate it and I hope will inspire you as it has inspired me.
Don James
"I know him:
filled my nights with horrible noises,
caress my bowels,
bleached my hair in amazement.
made me young and old
with the seasons,
made me flourish and die
countless times.
But I know he loves me and I'll tell
, even if you do not believe, that promises
always with great coolness in every limb as if you
start life anew
could see the world for the first time.
And this is faith, and this is him,
looking for you everywhere, even when you hide
so you do not see. "
