I will give you rest
Today, I went to St Christina parish. I
met Father Luciano, the parish priest. We are welcoming. I also met two of my
friends, Mara e Erica, they come from the South Italia. Mara is studying in
Parma and Erica is working in Fidenza, it is not far from Parma. I also met my
other friends. I also met the friends from some countries of the Africa and my
friends from the Philipines.
I am happy to come here. Last Sunday, I
cannot come here because I followed the mass at our Sanctuary of San Guido
Conforti. Yes, of course the situation is different. Today is different with
the others Sunday. The people making the holiday. There are going to the
mountain, the beach, the countryside. And, few went out of the country, Asia,
Africa, America, Australia, and so on. One of the Italians habit's is make the
holiday in another country. For someone this is a cultural so that every
holiday went to the other country. So, there are little people in the church.
Or, there are more people that not come to the church. Nevertheless, I am happy
because the people come to the Church with their family. I see three children
and more than 6 boy and girl.
I think, maybe some people feel as tired
at this time because he more doing. I know that many people want to go to the
holiday and little people stay in the city. So, they stay at home or in the
city doing more. But, Jesus said, "Come
to me, all you who labor and are burdened, And I will give you rest." With this phrase Jesus invited us to meet him
in the Church. Jesus come to us in the Eucharist. Sure, Jesus is everywhere
and forever. But, I thinks there is not wrong if we come into the Church and
met the others. We are in unity with the others and with Jesus. Jesus always
loves us.
Happy Sunday
