Il ricercatore giudica suo di- ritto inalienabile esplorare tutti gli spa- zi, anche i più vicini ai precipizi: anzi, di solito proprio dai margini estremi si possono raccogliere i fiori più originali e più rari. Il “pastore” invece si ferma a una certa distanza dai baratri: sa che, se egli si spinge fino all’orlo del burrone, qualche “pecora” fatalmente vi cade »*. * G.

Credo non dispiaccia a don Giacomo, se apro questa presentazione con un riferimento all’indimenticato don Camillo, arguto e simpatico personaggio di Guareschi, che tanto ci ha diver- tito e fatto riflettere. In quelle due righe troviamo la sintesi del mi- nistero pastorale di don Giacomo, come parroco, distinto dal totale abbandono alla volontà di Dio e dal desiderio di chiederGli di più, per il gregge, per quel popolo che gli era stato affidato.

  • Do Not Be Afraid to Talk of God Benedict XVI Address to the Fatima Pilgrims “Sweet Christ on Earth,” St
    ISSUE 12 SEP-OCT 2010 Do Not Be Afraid to Talk of God Benedict XVI Address to the Fatima Pilgrims “Sweet Christ on earth,” St. Catherine of Siena All of you, standing together with lighted candles in your hands, seem like a sea of light around this simple chapel, lovingly built to the honor of the Mother of God and our mother, whose path from earth to heaven appeared to the shepherd children like a way of light. However, neither Mary nor we have a light of our own: we receive it from Jesus. His presence within us renews the mystery and the call of the burning bush which once drew Moses on Mount Sinai and still fasci- nates those aware of the light within us which burns without consuming us (cf. Ex 3:2-5). We are merely a bush, but one upon which the glory of God has now come down. To him therefore be every glory, and to us the humble confession of our nothingness and the unworthy adoration of the divine plan which will be fulfilled when "God will be all in all" (cf. 1 Cor 15:28). The matchless servant of that plan was the Virgin full of grace: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord: let it be done to me according to your word" (Lk 1:38). Dear pilgrims, let us imitate Mary, letting her words "Let it be done to me" resound in our lives. God ordered Moses: "Take off your shoes, for the place on which you stand is holy ground" (Ex3:5).

  • The Renewal of the Ambrosian and the Hispano-Mozarabic Liturgy After the Second Vatican Council
    „Ruch Biblijny i Liturgiczny” 66 (2013) nr 3 REV. TOMASZ BAĆ The Renewal of the Ambrosian and the Hispano-Mozarabic Liturgy after the Second Vatican Council The renewal of the liturgy and its general reform made after the Second Vatican Council generally concerns the Roman Rite, which all instruc- tions of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium refer to. The conciliar fathers were well aware of the fact that there is a need for renewing other rites and traditions existing in the Church.1 In the introduction to the first conciliar constitution it was stated that: “In faithful obedience to tradition, the sacred Council declares that holy Mother Church holds all lawfully acknowledged rites to be of equal right and dignity; that she wishes to preserve them in the future and to foster them in every way. The Council also desires that, where necessary, the rites be revised carefully in the light of sound tradition, and that they be given new vigor to meet the circumstances and needs of modern times” (Constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium, 4). In the Latin Church, from among many local rites which, throughout centuries and alongside the Roman Rite, served as evidence of the rich- ness of the Christian liturgy, tradition and culture, only two rites were 1 In the context of liturgy renewal after the Second Vatican Council the terms “rite” and “liturgy” may be considered to be synonyms, although their meaning is not, in fact, identical; cf. A. M. Triacca, La Liturgia ambrosiana, [in:] La Liturgia: panorama storico generale, Genova 2002, p. 88 (Anàmnesis, 2).
