"Vejo hoje estar acontecendo uma crise humanitária com a vida humana colocada no limite. A vida humana passou a ser tratada com desprezo, tratada sem nenhum amor e sem nenhum valor. Há aqueles que comem lixo, que vivem sem nenhuma condição de dignidade. Dormir na calçada, morrer de frio, são situações que vemos no cotidiano de uma cidade como São Paulo, com aproximadamente 42.000 pessoas vivendo em situação de rua. A crise humanitária é evidenciada pela forma como toda essa situação acontece." Convidamos você a refletir junto com Padre Júlio Lancellotti o exercício do amor na sua plenitude.

Amor é confiar e acolher. Amor é criar condições para arrependimento e transformação. Amor é pacientemente curar. Convidamos você a refletir junto com Monja Coen o exercício do amor na sua plenitude.

O amor é um exercício de acolhimento da nossa individualidade e da complexidade que nos constitui como seres humanos. O amor é um espaço de segurança para ser quem se é em liberdade. O amor é um nariz de palhaço que nos livra da mediação da culpa e do medo. O amor é o direito de se querer bem e ter gratidão pela vida. Convidamos você a refletir junto com Pastor Henrique Vieira o exercício do amor na sua plenitude.

Amar é uma concessão que não legitima o sofrimento e a opressão. O critério para uma concessão é a promoção humana. Se a minha intervenção oprime, então eu não tenho direito de ser assim. Convidamos você a refletir junto com Padre Júlio Lancellotti o exercício do amor na sua plenitude.

Será que precisamos falar de amor ou demonstrar através de ações e pensamentos? Será que ambos se completam? Ou será que apenas ao final da vida somos capazes de manifestar, com simplicidade, o nosso cuidado amoroso? Convidamos você a refletir junto com Monja Coen o exercício do amor na sua plenitude.

O amor tem uma concretude. É impossível falar dele somente como algo ideal, como um amor estratosférico. Convidamos você a refletir junto com Padre Júlio Lancellotti o exercício do amor na sua plenitude.

This work is the first letter to my friend Aloysius regarding the “Virtue of the Gods.” It has been made available to you the reader in what shall be multiple formats. In the letter, I discuss the first virtue required to be one with the gods, which is: “a god walks through fire.” This encompasses many ideas, including that a god fears not pain nor suffering, a god has confidence, self-belief, has concern for the present and future of humanity, a god has agency and intent. A god does not succumb to threats of hellfire. A god knows that faith is not a virtue – faith is lazy. ...

Using the Ordinary and Universal Magisterium of the Church this article proves that Communion on the hand is not a sin nor sacrilege. The article does not comment about if reception on the tongue or the hand is better. The focus is to calm the consciences of others who receive on the hand -- especially during the pandemic.

What do the four living beings of Revelation mean? Who are the living beings? The four living beings of the Apocalypse, or the tetramorph, represent the roles of Divinity in the History of Salvation. Both in the prophecy of Ezekiel and in the book of Revelation according to John, we can see the description of these four figures, which the hagiographers - the sacred writers - describe as beings with the faces of a man, an ox, a lion, and an eagle. Beings that are presented in close relationship with God and that have, at some point, generated a certain sense of hiddenness and, at the same ...

With all of the issues we face in our society today, there has been a tendency to assign blame as a starting point for solving these issues. While many of us point our fingers outward, finding fault with situations, systems and people outside of ourselves, Lawrence Cherry holds up the mirror of the Word and challenges us to look within. The problem it seems is with us: our misconceptions, misunderstandings and myths about ourselves and the world which we’ve imbibed and that keep us from seeing the Truth which can save us. A Call to Repent 2: Freedom in Christ invites us to a deeper look ...

Making Friends is a collection of essays discussing the qualities, names, forms and attributes belonging to the entity commonly addressed as "God". “Krishna’s age, His beauty, His bugle, His flute, His conchshell and His pleasing attitude all provoke love in friendship for Him. His exceptional joking abilities, exhibited sometimes by His pretending to be a royal prince, or even the Supreme Personality of Godhead, also give impetus to devotees developing love for Krishna in friendship.” (The Nectar of Devotion, Ch 42)
