|
|
- MESSAGES
-
  -
- I wish
to express once again my Congratulations to the Genesis Catholic
Community with my cordial good wishes of growth in the faith and unity
through prayer with the Word of God.
-
- These two
dimensions characterize this Community in all their initiatives.
-
- -Prayer.
We all are invited to pray always, to pray with confidence, trusting
in our Lord - who knows all our needs, who listens to our call for
help. He is our Father and never will abandon us.
-
- In prayer
we find strength and light in moment of suffering and distress. Prayer
means a dialogue with God, listening to His voice in our heart and
conscience.
-
- Genesis, I
am sure, is helping many people to pray everyday, to discover the
loving presence of our Lord in our life, to pray together in unity of
hearts and find that peace we can only find in the Lord. "Come to
Me all you who labour and are overburden," said Jesus, "and
I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:29)
-
- From here
we have the second dimension of Genesis. We have to pray with the
Bible.
-
- - Word of
God. One of the greatest innovations of the Vatican Council II is this
new approach to the Word of God. We all are invited to pray and meet
God through the Scriptures. We have to pray meditating on the Bible,
on the "Word of God always alive and active," given
personally to each one of us, as a living and refreshing water.
-
- It is
important to realize that God desires to communicate with all of us.
He wants our friendship with Him to deepen and to grow. He reaches us
through the Bible, through Jesus, called Word of God.
-
- So reading
the Gospel, meditating on the teachings of Jesus and trying to apply
those words to our daily life is the main duty of a Christian.
-
- God speaks
directly to us, to our heart in the words of the Scriptures. We may
use different ways of prayer but it is essential for all of us to
start again from the Scriptures.
-
- The
Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini of Milan, in his pastoral letter
addressed to his entire diocese for the year 2002, is inviting to go
back to the Scriptures, to restart from the Word of God.
-
- This is my
wish for all of you, members of the Genesis Catholic Community and
also for me: "To go back continuously to the Word of God, to pray
with the Scriptures." This method should engage the whole person
- our body, our heart and spirit. During prayer, one both listens and
speaks to God.
-
- May
Mary, the Mother of Jesus, who was keeping in her with faith and love
all what was happening in her life with her Son, teach us how to
meditate the Word of God in our daily life, how to discover, in
silence and prayer, the mysterious presence in the Word. Amen.
