Happy those who are moved by the images that show pain, misery, hunger, war and who strive not to have their insides closed by the bonds of consumption, isolation and selfishness. Happy those who have seen that […]

Christmas! Mark and John did not want to imagine Jesus’ birth, but Matthew and Luke felt the need to evoke the tenderness of a birth. As the song says, “we can live without wealth, but not without tenderness…. We can live without glory, but not without tenderness…” Let’s begin with the shepherds in Luke: there […]

Welcome, Advent,
herald of the Good News,
threshold of hope, matured in a long wait.
You open our eyes of the spirit
towards the eternity,
Since in what is already accomplished
you are the promise of accomplishment.
Take a smile
and give it to those who have never had one.
Take a ray of sun
and send it flying to the kingdom of darkness.
Look for a spring of water
and show it to those who only know how to roll in the mud.
Take a tear
and put it on the cheeks of those who have never cried.
