Benção, father!
Father, give me a blessing? This phrase, in secularized European culture, it sounds a bit 'out of time here in Brazil, appears normal, not only in religious places like the church, but on the street, in public places. While in Italy sounds like a request, here it sounds like something wonderful already achieved. It is a phrase that has nothing to do with clericalism because it also asks for the blessing of parents, godparents, relatives. The external sign is the kiss one another, a simple and extraordinary means affection, equal dignity, participation in the life of the ... It is great to see this gesture between parents and children. When someone asks me the blessing I somehow a profound experience of my mission as priest, I discover that the priest is the bearer of the blessing of God but also and primarily receives them, the priest is just a father for the community but is brother you have a sacred liturgical role, but full of affection and sharing.
In this year also as a priest in celebrating 25 years of service as a priest in the Church of God, I wish the light of past groped to say that means to be a priest
· First is the Easter experience: all the encounter with the living Christ who through his daily call signs, teaches, strengthens, inspires, delights the heart and face, gives the courage of hope. And 'the Lord Jesus rose that is worth to be missionaries, to announce the possibility of a new life, different;
• The priest is a sign visible to all, presides over and teaches, shows the way of Jesus and why he the responsibility to be as credible
· Often the priest in addition to being in front of a sign is visible behind as one goes, the animator who is at the bottom the line of life, silent and almost secretly encourages afresh, by the hand who was orphaned of friendship and brotherhood;
· Today, perhaps the task more understandable by today's culture is to live among the people of God, walking together, sharing the joys and hopes, the griefs and fears, faith and love. Being in the middle without fear of being confused, but with the certainty that human solidarity is the main door through which God enters with all the grandeur of his holiness;
• The priest is a person, as a mother said her daughter first to die, that among so many needs, knows that "those who hope in God is never weary;
• The priest is a person who loves his own class of priests because it alone can not be at the side of Jesus;
• The priest's mission is to remind all Christians in Baptism and Confirmation are consecrated priests to image of the priest, Jesus Christ, a priest that he was the original temple to "celebrate" even though attended the celebrations of his time, but working, walking together and proclaiming the word of God, made his life a gift, a share of the banquet of life, an apron dress, an altar of the Cross, the tomb of the temple of eternity;
° consequently the priest's mission is to promote the exercise of the ministerial priesthood of all harmony and diversity of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In this mission you have to wait often times God delays but also accelerate human by removing the walls that block the path of ideological faith
• The priest has the ability to ask for forgiveness and to forgive, to receive God's blessing and to bless , to cry in front of the suffering and cry about the injustices, to be silent in the face of death but before the birth of wonder as a child in front of the works of God and to thank.
This is not a theoretical synthesis of the figure of a priest but that is what I have experienced in recent years: years of preparation for the priesthood in my home parish of Zevio, in the seminary, in the parish where I worked in the service of a deacon Caldiero (1984-1985), in parishes where I tried to serve as a priest in Vangadizza (1985-1989), St. Mark the Evangelist (1989-1994), in Borgonuovo (1994-1997), in the unity of the pastoral Valdadige (1997-2005) and now (since 2006) in the mission of São Luis in Brazil. So you can be a priest with the help of God and of so many people that stimulate, correct, help, pray for the priest is the one that needs to be.
May God bless all of you this Easter!
When they die young! There are
people should never die! On 16 March un'emorraggia died a young man of 20 years, Claudilene column of youth activities of the parish, cheerful person, by way of a child and the maturity of adults. Young man of deep spirituality and at the same time included in full in real life. His faith in life illuminates the Easter this year in our parish and become a credible. When young people die so death becomes life, even if the heart does not know whether to cry or rejoice.
A Way of the Cross with real blood!
year the Way of the Cross has had it a little dramatic: in the middle of the procession in the middle to an area of \u200b\u200brecent occupation of the houses still all mud and straw, some policemen have taken a young, her face covered with blood, and they loaded into the trunk of their car and taken away. Everything happened in the middle of hundreds of people here used to scenes like this. The blood (fake) young people who were representing the passion of Jesus was so mixed with the blood of the true daily life of these people.
Suggestion

They also host three meetings a single celebration: the procession of May 1, the procession of the Body and Blood of Christ and the advancement of the Bible in the bus station. This year we are trying to organize some training with the various pastoral together to implement a more unified ministry.
