SPIRIT of God is not the slave project and prejudices of man, he knows no barriers or constraints, we who must recognize where he is acting. The man becomes intolerant when he fears that someone may steal a monopoly on truth and authority. And because this is not entirely sure of himself is inwardly free (I Read).
For Jesus (Gospel), this inner freedom, and able to appreciate good wherever he is, not to be confused with relativism worst. He takes as a benchmark that counts the most in view of man: himself, his hand, his foot, his eye. Shock is to be understood as an obstacle to the life of faith. Faced with this danger, the man must be willing to renounce any belief in order to save. Everything else would become meaningless without faith. San Giacomo (II reading) invites us to be radical in your faith, listening to God speaking to us. His Word is sometimes sharp. It is in these circumstances that the Lord calls us with more strength, that we have the courage and strength to make fundamental decisions of our lives.

PLEASE WITH THE GOSPEL
Your word Lord, today is very demanding. It reminds us of the miracle that we have to make: cut it in us that is double and hypocritical, and that shocked his brother, to unify our lives in love. Help us to make our existence is not a possession but a gift for everyone.
Fra Luca Fallica
