Facti sunt autem amici inter se Herodes et Pilatus in ipsa die; nam antea inimici erant ad invicem - In quel giorno Erode e Pilato diventarono amici; prima infatti c’era stata inimicizia tra loro (Luca, 23-12)





Questa breve osservazione è scritta in riferimento all' amore sbocciato fra Maurizio Landini (nella foto mascherato a sinistra) segretario del sindacato lavoratori CGIL e il banchiere Mario Draghi (nella foto mascherato a destra) non eletto da nessuno ma imposto all'Italia come primo ministro italiano, il quale il sanguigno presidente Francesco Cossiga in un celebre video definì "vile affarista".

Gli schemi nella storia si ripetono. E questo, alla luce della teologia della storia, dovrebbe insegnarci come dietro certi fatti si legga la stessa intenzione che opera nella storia dell'uomo perché si manifesti la volontà di Dio.

Riflettere su certi schemi porta a far dubitare anche chi non creda in Dio, ma avverta la forza di una coscienza che chiede verità e giustizia, che la realtà segua schemi di per sé che siano nelle mani dei soli esseri umani  e spinga invece queste coscienze dubitanti a chiedersi se non vi sia all'opposto una Verità che rivela, questa sì di per sé, il modo in cui Dio opera perché si manifesti.


Luca 23,6-12

6 Udito ciò, Pilato domandò se era Galileo 7 e, saputo che apparteneva alla giurisdizione di Erode, lo mandò da Erode che in quei giorni si trovava anch'egli a Gerusalemme.
8 Vedendo Gesù, Erode si rallegrò molto, perché da molto tempo desiderava vederlo per averne sentito parlare e sperava di vedere qualche miracolo fatto da lui. 9 Lo interrogò con molte domande, ma Gesù non gli rispose nulla. 10 C'erano là anche i sommi sacerdoti e gli scribi, e lo accusavano con insistenza. 11 Allora Erode, con i suoi soldati, lo insultò e lo schernì, poi lo rivestì di una splendida veste e lo rimandò a Pilato. 12 In quel giorno Erode e Pilato diventarono amici; prima infatti c'era stata inimicizia tra loro.

Poetry dwells near the divine light's breath

  The comparison between poetry and divine light that we proposed HERE finds its perfect explanation in Saint Paul, Letters to the Romans I,19: τὸ γνωστὸν τοῦ θεοῦ φανερόν ἐστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς, ὁ ⸂θεὸς γὰρ αὐτοῖς ἐφανέρωσεν , what can be known of God was manifested to them (in men), indeed God manifested to them. Poetry unveils in the human being the need to be human, i.e.the need for Beauty, for feeling the Beauty in itself and with itself, and this feeling is supported by the divine light. As we are influenced by the idea of Saint Augustine of saeculum , we maintain that poetry belongs to the saeculum and therefore stops on the threshold of the divine light [ I] without crossing that threshold, but it senses the light beyond that threshold. We are taken to that threshold by the human feeling of Beauty within us that leads us up to there: up to that door that it is not possible to cross in our being human, but nevertheless, the very dwelling on that threshold is illuminated by the ve...

Similarities between Lithuanian, Sanskrit and Ancient Greek: the sigmatic future

by Fabrizio Ulivieri Lithuanian is the most archaic among all the Indo-European languages spoken today, and as a result it is very useful, indeed, indispensable in the study of Indo-European linguistics. The most important fact is that Lithuanian is not only very archaic, but still very much alive, i. e., it is spoken by about three and a half million people. It has a rich tradition in folklore, in literature, and it is used very successfully in all walks of modern life, including the most advanced scientific research. Forced by our interest for this piece of living archaism, we go deeper in our linguistic survey. One of the most noticeable similarities is the future (- sigmatic future -). Lithuanian has preserved a future tense from prehistoric times: it has one single form, e.g. kalbė-siu 'I will speak', etc. kalbė-si kalbė-s kalbė-sime kalbė-site kalbė-s This form kalbėsiu is made from the stem kalbė-(ti) 'to speak', plus the ancient stem-end...

My world before and after the so-called Pandemic

  Prior to the so-called pandemic, the world was different. I was different.  One of my greatest moments of pleasure was visiting unknown cities, lost in the unknown, following an unknown flux of life surrounded by unknown streets and people.  I felt invisible. No one knew me, and I knew no one. That gave me a strong sense of pleasure. The pleasure of doing things you usually avoid in places where everyday life, routine, and the fear of showing yourself in a way people are not accustomed to expecting from you. I am not sure what I was looking for in doing this. I remember I felt pushed to search for the essence of that world, as I could physically taste that essence. I was looking for an aura of mystery which could rescue me from my nothingness (I called it nothingness, but now I should call it stupidity—because now I realize what an idiot I was). I hoped for goodness from the world, I hoped for a magic of life, I hoped for an encounter which would be my Saviour, the Savi...
