You can live like this? - Card by Giorgio Razeto Chapter Three - Obedience
I. Commentary: "realization of a truth in such a way that it unfolds before our eyes, so you can penetrate"
"We can penetrate only the words he lives, that is, words that tell us who live with us, participating in our lives. "
The reasonable consequence of faith I.
faith is an act of knowledge and freedom is the condition for its happen
II. For all knowledge follows affectivity
III. faith, as an act of knowledge, then generates a kind of affection, behavior
IV. the disease is an attitude toward the object known
"You see a post and since you're very weakened by studies, you think your girlfriend is: the bad knowledge follows a bad condition. The disease is an attitude toward the object known: You believe that the pole was a nice girl and then taken to a certain attitude, but you are getting bad! "
V. The right attitude, usually right at the object known, the condition is called right under
" I drink because I dry mouth. But I may have drank so: there's water here and drink. Instead I am grateful to Gloria because I brought the water, gently, I did not ask. I am grateful to Gloria for drinking brought me water. This is a virtue, the virtue of gratitude "
a) Obedience was born as a reasonable attitude
I. Two facts of the Gospel, the crowd's reaction, the attitude of the apostles
A. propagation of the loaves:
1. Jesus had compassion on the people who are hungry and do not know their fate
"Have pity on people who do not know his fate, and pity the people because he is hungry (because they are three days following one that speaks of their fate), it is the same, the same gesture "
2. Jesus performed the miracle and feeds them
3. is enhanced and the crowd wants to make Jesus king
"... the excitement reached its maximum and all cried out to Christ as the king who would have to come to the King - the son of David, a descendant of David - that would come and led the world in the hands of the Jews, the Jewish people would have made the people master of the world, the Savior, but for their "Savior" and "master" was the same in the hardness of their minds the two were the same "
4. Jesus escapes the crowds and went to Capernaum
B. Jesus in the synagogue at Capernaum
" E 'come into the world like a man, man as all the others, so ... He also went to the synagogue, he prayed with those of the synagogue, said the psalms ... "
1. reads the passage from the Bible of the Hebrews in the desert fed by manna from God and thus introduces the new inside the old
"Whoever wanted to ... he could raise his hand and be called out to read a passage from the Bible ... Jesus always took that occasion to raise his hand and go out to talk ... What began to speak again, he said in the past: it was a new way of seeing the world. The items were the same: it was a new way of seeing the ancient words. I insist that this is the life of the Christian, being a Christian is this: always something new that opens the gate into the ancient words "
2. He explains that he brought a different bread," that those who eat it and not die again "
3 . people believe that Jesus is speaking metaphorically, is struck by the words but thinks it was a way of saying
"metaphor, abstract comparison, if I say:" My words shall be as the bread for your soul, you understand that is not to be a bread to eat with his teeth, as bread is for the body, food, so the words are food for the soul "
4. enter into a synagogue group of people: those whom Jesus had fed the day before and wanted to make him king
5. Jesus changes the meaning of his speech and says: "You persecute me because I fed with bread, for free, but I will give you something else to eat, I will give my flesh to eat and my blood as a drink. And those who eat this bread and drink this blood will live forever "
6. The crowd now understands that Jesus was not speaking metaphorically, so to speak, but seriously
7. The community leaders, the scribes and Pharisees, react and spread the idea that Jesus was a madman
"Then the leaders - journalists, politicians, university professors or high school - Those who seek to dictate to others their conception of life, which was then called the scribes and Pharisees began to say: "Have you heard? E 'crazy, crazy! But who can give his flesh to eat, his blood to drink? "
8. the crowd follows the scribes and Pharisees and Jesus leaves
9. remain only the apostles
"They were all there with their heads down in silence ..."
10. Jesus does not lessen the inconceivability of what he said but insists
<"Se non mangiate la mia carne non entrerete nel regno dei cieli", vale a dire nella verità delle cose; non vi salverete, perderete voi stessi>
11. Jesus leads the apostles: "You also want to leave?"
12. Peter answered for all: "Master, we do not understand what you say, but if we go away from you where we go, You alone have the words - the true translation should be this - that are the heart, that give meaning to life "
a. words that match words to the heart are reasonable, explaining the life that speak of life in a reasonable way
b. the reason is to find the correspondence between what one says about reality and what the heart looks to the reality, the correspondence between what one says about life and the demands that the heart has life
II. Before Jesus, the great event the man who spoke in a corresponding manner to the heart, explaining the life corresponding to the heart, what was more reasonable?
A. scandal of the crowd who does not understand B.
follow Jesus
III. The right conclusion was drawn by the apostles
A. fait exceptional man who always speaks in a way corresponding to the heart, the most immediate and logical consequence is to follow
"The immediate reaction to a felt, a man just tried to face the question:" Do you want also go away? "was:" We have to follow you because you're the only person, the only case so exceptional that one speaks always correspond to the heart. And if you say something different now means that we, for now, do not understand. Ce explains it and understand tomorrow, but we can not leave because they do not understand this word. 'And they did not understand the words, like "There give my flesh to eat, "one could not say:" It 's crazy! ", but he could only say:" I wonder what it means! "the reasonable attitude was:" Who knows what it means! "
B. later, even if they did not understand his words were not against the heart, but it was incomprehensible and contrary to the corresponding figures already experienced C.
follow Jesus was the source of an emotional attitude, the beginning of the concept of obedience that comes from reason
"Who is like you? Without you life has no meaning, you only know how to give meaning to life "because an attitude favorable to him, an attitude of attachment to him, at that time had its own test played his trial. But it was follow him, because otherwise they would have to deny all the previous months that were with him, in which they had become obvious that this man was a man different from other "
IV. The crowd, however, was unreasonable, because have done something inconsistent with what they had seen the day before, when they were fed A.
go away because they did not understand the words of Jesus meant to deny the evidence of the previous day that led them to follow it
B. just follow him because he was otherwise had to deny the fact, the evidence of what they had seen the day before
b) The content of the word follow
I. Follow means
A. have the same sentiments of Christ, that Christ had the same feelings towards the Father
"Through him it was obvious that everything was of the Father. And when the Father has allowed it to be killed?" Father, if I can not be killed, But not my will but yours be done. "For Christ was evident that God was all, so one had to adhere to the Father even when it was incomprehensible to him that his attitude ... he was killed ... it was an unjust thing, and Christ as a man could not understand why, so much so that he prayed: "Father, if possible, that I die" can not go against the Father, for all the evidence that otherwise it has without the Father there is no meaning to life ... So the man must have the same attitudes towards Christ that Christ took to the Father. Christ says something incomprehensible, but if we deny this we deny everything, there is nothing, then it is right to adhere to Christ.
B. the word that defines the attitude that Christ had for the Father is "obedience"
c) That God has glorified
I. Jesus has been glorified because he followed the Father and the Father has given all things into his hands
II. Those who obey will work miracles even greater than those of Jesus
"because it is larger than the evidence of Christ's strength now, in his Church, that not even two thousand years ago, two thousand years ago did some miracles, now makes galore. It is shown much larger now the value of Christ and his body, mysterious but visible, that even two thousand years ago. "
d) The reasonableness of follow
I. obedience is obeying reasonable because our lives become more would have been bigger than ever, that is realized
"You can stay in a convent for decades without this consciousness, then you live wrong, because a man can not live without the awareness that makes his life more than it would happen if he did what he wanted, felt and imagined. The Gospel expresses this concept well: "Whoever follows me will have eternal life and a hundredfold here on earth. "The real success is the hundredfold, which begins in this world, and is fulfilled in the eternal"
True obedience is a friendship
a) Follow one that is before you
I. The first characteristic is the fundamental characteristic
A. from the standpoint of a meeting with an exterior that made you notice a human diversity, which had the characteristic to match the more acutely, more deeply to the heart
B. this diversity
1. is a way of life that brings with it the affirmation of the meaning of life
2. implies a seriousness in living
"Life for that there was something serious, involved a serious of life, carrying behind him a zest for life, a will to do, a utility in the relationship, a goodness. Normally in life, for all the people, the problem is serious money, serious the problem of children is serious, the problem of man and woman ... ... the health of the political problem: the world is all except that the real life ... Life is a serious matter with a meaning, it is a serious thing, so it is a task in front of the world, before all creation, before all time, in front history, before the time and space, and is an ultimate meaning, ultimate complete "
b) Follow up: understanding and imitate
I. Follow the "one who stands before you" means two things
A. understand what he says
B. imitate him as he does in
II. To follow is not enough to hear the words, it should try to be careful as it does
"That phrase-not all are teachers, because you must be a master to see how you do ... use words in such a way that you ... understand how you must use "
III. Understanding requires a minimum of effort: demands simplicity, requires the heart as a child, a child's curiosity
IV. All this can be summarized in the word "discipleship" which implies
A. one who has before
B. try to understand the words he spoke
C. trying to figure out how to do them to live them
V. The alternative to life as you follow the instincts
"Without following our life has nothing in front, does not know what to think and do not know how to do, so identifies with his thinking what comes to mind (or its reaction opinions) and identifies as a rule of do what they please (ie, as a rule has the instinct) "
c) Obedience, a gesture of self
I. Understanding is an act of reason: it means to grasp the correspondence between what is said and your ego, the demands of your ego, your heart
A. began as an effort and work
"you just listen to what you're told that trying to understand"
B. as you know, not depend more on who tells you it's like to become one with yourself, you follow the same
"At most extreme form of obedience is to follow the self-discovery made in the light of the Word and the example of a And another ... 'because I say to you is: "Does this tell you ..."; for the love of your life ... what makes me able to tell you for the love of your life? Love to my life ... If you follow me, you understand, and then, later, follow yourself, follow me, follow you as yourself, we're friends "
d) The following is true friendship
I. follow the true, true obedience is a friendship
A. mean follow those who ask is before you: "How do you live what you say? "
1. the main focus here, is the desire to live, is what makes you ask:" How do you do it, how do you achieve what you see? "If I
B. I tell you, you say, "Thank you that you tell me!" and it becomes yours, and you have to follow yourself, your consciousness
C. For this obedience is the true friendship
"... as you do you do ...? And the other tells you ... Look at me! or "Come with me," or, "He begins to do so. For example, fixed moments in the day when you say" God "... or" Come, Lord "... or" Three times in the two-day stop minutes to think about the moment when God became a blood clot within the body of a woman, the Angelus. "Or ..." Sing a song ... but weighs the words, be careful with words ... Or: "If you do not understand what I do, domandamelo, so I easier to answer, I'll explain better. ... This is theoretical because otherwise it becomes friendship takes place so, this is friendship. "
Summary

III. How to live every day their freedom, their own without asking me any time and driving without a delegate to another responsibility
A. The more you do the test of who guides you, the more you are free, is free to those who accept as a criterion, not his own but that of the guiding him
"Whoever loses is he who waives its point of view to follow Jesus ... becomes a man who could tackle anything, knowing what he does, deciding right ... who follows the criterion of God - the man who follows the policy that guides the other in the name of God - in front of behave well under any circumstances, face the fact so useful to their lives "
IV. Obedience and affection

V. Hence the friendship, companionship, friendship community
A. is the energy that builds the company
" Therefore the Lord, wishing that the man knew him, became a man and this man has created a company, it has become present here and now, at any time in history a company, and if one claimed to have a relationship with the mystery of God regardless of the company, and especially regardless of authority to guide it, is an illusion, a ' illusion "B.

VI. l ' friendship is needed is not an optional
A. What follows is something inherent to the person you put together and that is so beautiful it makes you put together. But if it's just so beautiful ... and now produces, generates B.
reason of being together is to understand that outside of certain things, but Christ is not worth living
"Why I became such a friend of this of this De Ponti Manferdini and with whom I used to go? ... everyone was so obvious something great that we were together, in fact, anyone who had come there ... would have heard of certain things ... we began to see through and talk about certain things, outside of which was not worth living "
C . Company authentic is that which arises when one meets another who has seen something right, beautiful and true, and tells him, and as he wants the right, beautiful and true, you put together.
D. concerned because the company is expanding to all the people he meets, to be able to say to all the just, the beautiful and the true
1. the opposite of a company is so full of self-interest illusion, an illusion, a position that seeks solace in his own thoughts in a dream
"The ideal is the reality that you conquer it piece by piece, step by step, while the dream fades, dumb, and fades from day to day "
2. the company that is expanding, which is communicated to all is a loving presence: the loving presence of Christ
Conclusion: from faith to obedience
Faith
I. It 'a phenomenon of knowledge implies that reason, a phenomenon of knowledge of reality, of what is
II. Faith is the knowledge of a reality that is beyond, which is more than you know the reason
III. Faith is to admit that more than knows the reason, by virtue of correspondence to the heart, with expectations, with the answer to what is
IV. Faith is the most rational thing there is, why does the right, responds to what the heart desires
"Without faith there would be no possibility for either reason, there would be no chance to say what that man is ... moved the word "faith" ... sums it all up, says the news in the world "
V. The novelty in the world is the possibility of a meeting in which man perceives that there is an answer to his heart, to the needs of his heart, already in this
VI. Faith is a welcome present, recognize this
"In this there is something that belongs to fate, which has the shape of destiny. Well, this is the most beautiful word: the encounter with a form of which is already present in the Destiny
Freedom
I. Affirm faith is freedom
II. Freedom is the need for total satisfaction, the ability to adhere to the fate of all demand response
"... the freedom that does not stick ... is a contradiction, it is a negative: it is the early death (as the fathers of the Middle Ages called the sin: the early death) ... if freedom does not adhere to the faith, alter all terms of relationships ... the affection between man and woman ... this is' example that God has placed first in the world ... becomes selfishness instead of love, rather than negative statement, tenderness lean, rather than creativity fruitful, open instead of closing ... "
III. Freedom is the faith that becomes a source of 'affectivity that is an energy of adhesion being, what is the reality in its totality
Obedience
I. Freedom understands where to go but do not know the way
II. And' the Mystery tells you what to do through your company in the place where you put
III. Friendship is the supreme obedience
IV. It 'important to understand the identification between obedience and friendship
"... if obedience will tell you what you need to do to reach your destiny, what is friendship? It' s a company headed to the fate driven, ie you must obey "
V. Faith, freedom and obedience and friendship are the three key words for our whole life
"... a house is not beautiful because they are all friends, as happy and contented: you see why I am! ... If a house is made up of people very friendly with each other because they share really, are consciously fate ... able, if they were alone, to create communities where they are, because no one is alone, he said Jesus No one is alone, not because you feel along with who knows who, God or Christ, and Christ be with God means feeling with the people with whom it takes!
VI. We walk toward Christ in a company
A. driven, so sure, and beginning the attraction that humanly individuals operating on us
B. truly free because we adhere to something that draws us
"The problem indissolubility of marriage is the focus of any significant human companionship: it is impossible to resist. If it resists self-interest of political power, economic satisfaction as such because it is so bad that decade now. There seems to decay as long as you have not already, when you fell. So how do you have - without decay - something that God truly does bring? The more the presence of the raises in you a passion for his destiny, that gets really love, friendship, namely the mutual love is the law of obedience "
