Feeling called by the Father "beloved Son" in baptism (Mt 3:17) not opened a path away from the evidence !
Immediately after the immersion in the Jordan River, "Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil." Similarly, each baptized should expect stiff opposition from that Satan, through his cunning and seductive temptations, will try to dissuade him from the path of discipleship.

From the silence of the land is left stunned, when everything seems to stop, suspend him nearly in time and space in front of the Word of God who makes flesh, in the silence of the Word everything completes, enthroned on the throne of love when we see the glory that is the weight of a God ... WE LEARN ABOUT 'GOD! Your Chair , Divine Master, the cradle of Bethlehem, takes place on the glorious Cross Thou hast taught us that love is the Father and the Holy Spirit have taught us and given your Son of freedom. Along the streets of our land, how many do not feel loved by anyone! Let confident they can raise your gaze to the cross, the throne of love and feel enveloped by the fire of your passion for them. Without fear, with the same tenderness with which you have provided in the manger ...
Your love will save them and comfort them, are content to live in joy and hope ... And forever sing Your mercy.

loves the silence more than anything. Because it gives you to bear fruit. Lalangue can not explain it. First of all strive to keep quiet. It is the silence that comes what will lead us to silence. Why, then, God makes you feel what comes from silence. Initially, the effort requires us to be silent, but later was born in us as a mysterious force that draws us.

God's gifts to you distinctly hear what comes from the true silence. If you start to delve into this road, a inexpressible zampillerà light in you ... the heart is as if he felt the intimate flavor of each fact, the bottom of a wondrous contemplation. Man becomes like a child in the midst of creatures ... " . Isaac of Nineveh (Syrian iil), Monaco of the seventh century.

Only when we have silenced us, God will speak.

Will talk to us only on the sands of the desert.

ripen in silence the great things of life:

conversion, love, sacrifice.

When the sun is eclipsed well for us,

and Heaven does not respond to our cry,

quarry and the earth rumbles under our feet,

and the fear of abandonment is likely to make us despair,

remain close.

At that moment, the break even silence

to say words of love!

and feel the thrill of Easter.

In Christ we have been tempted, in him we won the devil

From "Commentary on the Psalms" of St. Augustine, bishop (Ps 60, 2-3; CCL 39, 766)
"Hear, O God, my cry, be attentive to my prayer" (Ps 60 , 1). Who is the speaker? It would seem one person. But look good if it's really just one person. He says: "From the ends of the earth I cry to you, while my heart is in anguish" (Psalm 60, 2).
Therefore it is not already a single individual, but in a much seems, since there is only one Christ, of which we are all members. One person, in fact, how could shout from the ends of the earth? Cries from the ends of the earth if not the inheritance of which was the very Son said: "Ask me, I will possess the nations and the ends of the earth" (Ps 2, 8).
So, this is the possession of Christ, this inheritance of Christ, this body of Christ, this one Church of Christ, this unity that we all form, and we are crying out from the ends of the earth.
And what noise? As I said above: "Hear, O God, my cry, be attentive to my prayer from the ends of the earth I call upon thee." That is, as I cried unto thee, I cried from the ends of the earth: that is, from everywhere.
But, because I shouted that? Because my heart is in anguish. Show that you are among all nations, on the whole the earth in great glory, but in the midst of great trials.
fact our lives on this pilgrimage can not be exempt from testing and our progress is accomplished through temptation. No one can know himself if he is not tried and can not be crowned without winning and can not win without a fight, but fighting a supposed enemy, a test. Therefore
is one crying in anguish from the ends of the earth, but still is not abandoned. Because the Lord wanted us to envisage, which are his mystical body, in the events of his real body, in which he died, rose again and ascended into heaven. Thus, even the members can hope to reach where the Head preceded them.
So as he has transformed itself, as he was being tempted by Satan. Let's read in the Gospel that the Lord Jesus was tempted by the devil in the desert. Precisely Christ was tempted by the devil, but in Christ you were tempted, too. Because Christ took flesh from you, but if your salvation, death to you, saying your life, you humiliation, saying your glory, then you took his temptation, by itself your victory.
If we were tempted him, he will be right in that we will win the devil. You stop your attention to the fact that Christ was tempted, because you do not consider that he also won? Was you to be tempted him, but he also recognizes that in you are the winner. He could take away from the devil himself, but if he had not left groped, would have taught you not to win when you are tempted.

Christ has already 'won every DEATH!

good time to THANK YOU ALL! ...
... time to meet!
