The Message of Christmas in the mind of the common good
For Giuseppe Toniolo there 'civilization' without Christ, without Christianity, without Church . Christmas reaffirms this truth ' L' Emmanuel, God with us, came as King of justice and peace. His kingdom - we know - is not of this world, yet most important of all the kingdoms of this world. It 's like the leaven of mankind: if missing, would not the force that sends out the true development: the desire to work together for the common good, to the selfless service of others, to the peaceful struggle for justice (Pope Benedict in his speech xvi. Urbi et Orbi Christmas 2010) The thought of Toniolo and 'eminently in line with the mystery of Christmas and its announcement of Peace to men of good will '.
Bacau 30 Saint Andrew. The Protector of Romania, St. Andrew, we remember with certainty the importance of taking care of others. Just found Jesus' as the Messiah, not silent, but his brother runs so as to share discovery and selection. He sought the common good.
Toniolo teaches us the specific terms of the realization and the concept of common good . The Church at Vatican II has it listed as in the relata 'of life that makes it possible for anyone and everyone to reach their fulfillment. It 'nice to see the rflesso Toniolo thought of faith in the words of the Church today and in those of a bishop who speaks to politicians Archbishop Forte.
" First, commitment to public ethics and social morality must be inseparable from the commitment Ethics on a personal level: it rejected the logic of form, which combines "private vices and public virtues." This implies the recognition of the primacy of conscience and the right of the political agenda of any representative of the people of conscientious objection on ethical issues relevant, but it also means that the credibility of political will on the measured sobriety of his style of life, generosity and constancy of commitment on loyalty to the values \u200b\u200bdeclared effective (for example with regard to institution of the family). Secondly, in the political relationship with the citizens will have to follow the highest made so don Lorenzo Milani and the boys of his school Barbiana: "Belonging to the ground and have the word". The politician must be close to people, listen to their problems, become the voice of the demands for justice of those who have no voice and support them. The politicians are not serving the master of the turn, but the people. Work in view of the "common good" the poor, those without a word, the socially weak are treated as references which is due to listening and respect: the "social state", education and health for all, are not an achievement questionable, but essential values, to protect and improve them free from waste and social dependency that does not serve the poor. Thirdly, political discourse will always be subject to search for possible convergences to work together to serve the "common good" co-responsibility, dialogue and participation is preferred to logical contradictions or preconceived inspired to personal or group . The "common good" is always preferred to own gain or that of his own political party. Fourthly, the service of "common good" be the time to take a gradual approach was necessary to achieve the goals: the populist logic of "all at once," he reasoned often broken promises, when violence and the lack of cases also right. Should be pursued with perseverance and discipline in order, without giving in to moral compromises and undue delay and without ever resorting to unfair means. "(See Zenit November 29) The notion that Toniolo reserve" Democracy, "the common good a major consideration, as is the chore that I put in this blog. (see: "In a direct democracy").

Light enters. warms my face, thoughts, the heart. I can feel every movement in the presence of that love that allowed me to become the dream of myself. Feelings are indelible, I spend days. people, the real ones: they remain.
Present. There is a subtle line between anger and pain. Present. There is a fine line between reality and confusion. Present. There is a moment in which the heart rolls the thoughts inside. Present. There is no guarantee that love can not be a game. Present. There is the awareness that I can find only in your eyes.
Sometimes just a breath .. to return to reality, and understand that life is not just a game. Living it is commitment, determination and dedication. Every single day encloses an infinite number of shades. No one will ever paint the picture of our illusions. remains to us the difficult task of repainting our smiles.
is very bad, do not know how. If I could only scan your eyes. If only I could roll back the pride and vibrate my dreams. But words do not come out and my eyes are lowered. I just want to hear your thoughts and bring them closer to mine. Forget this. Hold you tight .. out of that prison that has denied us freedom.
Tear a piece of reality seems normal and you hide in the illusion of a moment, a fleeting happiness that we will overturn him. When thoughts more secrets can not emerge from your breath, you would like a ray of sunshine will warm the soul. For short durations are my sunshine and warm inside me, without having to do anything .. a kiss to his lips.
on this poem ... I do a premssa is devoted to a person that I will never forget. Do not copy it, do not take none of these rows and as dedicated to her. Written: November 9, 2000
Pull the plug and keep walking, you stop the fire
stops the sky. I'm watching you and
I see your eyes so that most blacks
lose contact with the world around me.
But you're crying with your silence deaf the desire of damned not be swallowed by time.
desperately trying to tie you to our present ... selfish more than one cat, because the pain exploded in his veins! 're free now. Free like an angel. There will be no more tears to rigarti his face, he cries
who die in the throat to a whisper as sweet as honey. I miss you more than my own breath .. Where are you and who you are now? On that cold morning
you deleted a piece of my heaven and among the plates that remained was shocked and very cold. you inside me little star: in all my memories in my every
present in my every day I look inside every
will fight for you and for what we thought a world to change. When the night roar
your silence, strider bully your memory, rivivrai in a moment .. that will be eternal!
friendship can come and go over time, the appearance and space. Anime that I do not know also vibrate in unison; not speak of love, but emotions and feelings .. they will never be trapped in dull eyes. Sfiorarsi for brief moments has never been so obvious. Travelling in the same illusion is the shadow of our dreams and if one day we will wake up ... at least we can smile.

Scirtta: September 27, 1998
If you look at the sky blue sea trona prepotentenenemente in my eyes. The cool air caresses my hair and me a ray of sunshine lights up the face. Where are you? Soul rebel. Why did you leave me alone to walk in this endless ocean ...
In this world of couch potatoes believe and I hope to be left out. Although loneliness can be scary dell'inzio I realized that I travel to live well in the center of myself and frigates in the world that sometimes only see vorrebe sink. We are all a little 'built, but in the end the soul is different from what they want to make it appear. I hope that my fate is cruel. Qaundo miss someone the world goes on, but inside a piece of the sky is empty. Only music can close it .. at least for a sigh.
Passion. I want to live every moment giving away my smile and my desire to live life to those who can not walk distracted .. but looks into my eyes and understands.
You have kicked, screamed, elbowing for a place in the world, their world, and now you're there, remains afloat. live inside each day as if life was rolling with you, as if the sounds were not just colors ... but the soul smiles.
Life. crashing of waves, sunshine, shadows of the night, spring wind. Life. Water and fire, joy and sorrow, love and hate, peace and concern, confusion and peace, hugs and slaps. Life. Heart and soul, crystal and diamond, sea and ocean. Sweet little star, shining so that our eyes were still struggling to get used to this yet. were so strong ... it was you ... just you. You filled our days, our hearts, our lives, giving us unforgettable moments in our memory. local councils as small beads of wisdom guide our way. The lion roars no more, but I feel his strong presence. Inside every gesture, every look inside all the people who wanted and still want good. The heart is struggling to recover and the mind is still confused. Your hands still shake my, your words wrap my memories, your eyes alight still sweet on me. Selfishly I believed in miracles. Selfishly I wanted to tie you to the present. Selfishly I want you here now. But I know now you're the brightest star in the our sky and the wind is a dull pain that remains only in our hearts and that does more harm to your soul.
(quote) "... Do not ask the sun do not shine ... do not ask the sea not to move ... do not ask the wind not to blow ... do not ask me to forget it .. .
Happiness can sometimes seem too simple. like lightning I have emptied my thoughts. so blinding that, for brief moments, anyone could look at the soul ...
Strangely normal .. 20 hours without ever somhow compelled to stop.
Strangely normal .. have a look and a word for everyone.
smiled. How many smiles and how many hands you can meet?
Overwhelmed by a mind that runs and runs away, from a past that is hard to forget, a future that comes along and you want to just stop for a moment.
's so .. How many people can slip on? How many lives can pass you, touching you. Some somhow compelled to stop trying to look for a time, of an agreement. Then other eyes, other stories, other why. And you're always in the middle.
Auto .. trains .. air .. taxi .. Hotels .. how much snow, rain, sun, wind dried you have thoughts?
Sometimes it's a room .. Sometimes it does not sound an alarm. Sometimes questions are absurd. gestures are sometimes incomprehensible. Sometimes it's anger. Sometimes you laugh to tears. Sometimes you stay and talk until one night in the cold .. with people who have nothing to do with you. But for one night only for that moment .. are part of everything where you are catapulted. Sometimes it's just a night when you feel alone.
Madness this world. Madness because you can not understand where it begins or ends that you really are, and the days are too long or too short ....
And in your mind a thousand faces, a thousand eyes, a thousand voices .. confusion.
I've ripped a piece of life, a piece of sun .. but if the sky had become black to understand what may be a blue dream I would like to share with you my looks. There is a minute of life passing by without your memory, our life.
It 's like a river that sweeps away the thoughts, like a fire that never stops burning even for a second, has shattered the illusion of perfection in a world that does not exist; quell'effimera in the knowledge that happiness is like a photograph. I would yell, scream and travel in a thousand years of silence .. the rest is just noise .. noise ... ruomore ...
A confirmation of the depth 'of the message of the Venerable Giuseppe Toniolo you continue to say at this time by the Magisterium of the Church it' that was the heart of the idea of \u200b\u200bGiuseppe Toniolo: God, Jesus Christ ', the His Church, the ethical foundation of social order organized man.
Homeowners . In
speech that the Holy Father held Sept. 17 at Westminster Hall, said: "If the moral principles that underpin the democratic process are not based, in turn, on nothing more solid social consensus, then the fragility the process is displayed in all its evidence. Here lies the real challenge for democracy. " And a little further: "The central issue at stake, then, is: where can be found on the ethical basis for policy choices." In these words of S. Father I mentioned above, there is' an invitation to convince us that a legal system that eradicates finalized between the ethical can not become a mere exercise of power [quod principles placuit legis vigorem Habet] masked injustice and offer side of legality. And also, the exclusion of any reference to God places man in the condition of those who suffer from seasickness in the mainland. The worship of God ... is the main shield of human dignity ... relationship with God is the keystone of the whole of existence, and when this ratio is denied or ignored, however, the entire human existence to fall apart ... reflection that Christian theology from the Fathers made on the Ten Commandments, he understood more deeply that they express a truth about the good of the person that could know the reason. Expressed needs inscribed in the nature of the human person. From this understanding, modernity eventually concluded that these requirements did not need to be justified by reference and no transcendent foundation. They apply "even if God did not exist." This expulsion of theological justification had as its object the real devastation in man's ethical understanding. Has broken the connection between the original God's revelation of himself and the natural inclination to do good and avoid evil.

CITY 'OF ROME, Monday, October 11, 2010 (ZENIT.org).
There are places that they write in a notebook on a bus crushed between people and animals bags, while others are cast directly on the PC side, even better Blog are rapidly that it is not even thinking about above.
was a Saturday morning, a Saturday in September, different from past Saturday because I had decided to organize a party, and not a little party ...
The sun comes out after an early morning gray, it's hot outside and the wind from the sea my terrace invites you to lie down and read two pages out on the mattress
sunny South, the ideas of a beach fast before the preparations .. then the flood, something is wrong, someone decides that no, no beach today!
loses the sky all shades of blue to make ours a dark gray clouds fit fast, then you do not see anything more than 10 meters
well hopefully a summer storm
But no, down, down, the streets are flooded, enter in the living room, people are locked, do not get more warm air from the cold but from Aeolus Neptune
the gray remains motionless, not wanting to leave and then I remember that man is a unique piece with nature, I already have friends Benin had promised to think about them and that would be Everything went well.
Esco on the terrace, the rain still insists, I'll hug and ask her to think a little 'me.
You do 19.30 and finally stops, but all the preparations are delayed.
And so begins a frantic race against time, tap to bring the band with various equipment, buy a drink, other gadgets are important for the party, and then travel home to see in that situation ...
A dinner with 4 friends and ... ... ... ... ... PARTY!!
23:30 pm the band starts to play! Already fifty people arrived, each carrying a fine wine, Lebanese pizzas, pies, alcohol, alcohol is so much! people increases, the music grows and the terrace of the house of Helio, a friend Brasilero music spreads throughout the neighborhood! And no problem for the neighbors, and so were all asked the question!
The ice is packed in 5 bins, 3 beers and two soft drinks And yes, the problem of 'ste is that all parties bring rum, whiskey and vodka, and nobody thinks of coca cola and juices! !
Now the people are many and energetic, they say more than 150
02:00 pm First interminable long swim in the pool! For a good half hour more than 30 people in water, alcohol is its effects are almost all ij and water, some in costume, some just in shorts, a good deal of weight is thrown into the water!
The sky is full of stars, a falling even greets me and goes south!
People celebrate, in water, wine, tequila and beer, cocktails and music on the terrace!
There is even a chase off the street, in 5 in his underwear to get someone who wanted to go home, even for him, the party must go on! The group remains and play until 5 in the morning, no one around that says something, no patrols, just us in our party!
Our individuality is a gift, something powerful, precious, do not let's use it as a closure to another, a wall.
not obtuse, but deep.
found the time to think, think with our heads.
Let us stop for a moment to listen to each other.
separate us from the world only when we have a benefit, an award that we want to keep for ourselves.
But we're always listening to each other forever, especially if that is the strongest, largest, most beautiful, the most powerful. Hardly
listen to the excluded, the difference in the other.
We are afraid to take the first step, wait, no risk, we are afraid.
happens that we dare not call a friend, an invitation to dinner, a meeting, a greeting.
We could disturb him, he has something important to do and so we are more and more alone, detached from the world.
We are afraid to do something that would make us happy, let alone do something of which we know the outcome.
afraid to give a caress, because the other can not accept, afraid to embrace the other.
I happened several times to make the first move and then I saw in the eyes the other happiness, peace and serenity.
We can not always wait for others to take the step.
Imagine the last time came, a stranger, how can he make the first move? In a land that knows no reference points, with thousands of eyeballs, hears voices that whisper to him but does not understand.
And here at least I'm lucky VHE people consider me, calling me, just ask me how I am.
is the custom here before taking a taxi, say hello and ask how he is, if the job went well.
occupies just 30 seconds, but after I smebra to travel with someone I know, trust.
get off the bike, pay it, I greet him, laugh and wish him good job and good day. Each
my trip bike is a knowledge, albeit trivial and unnecessary, difficult to see the other as a stranger.
This makes me live in peace.
serenity in a place where the evening, through the dark alleys, paths of sand and rocks, passers-by in the dark unknown. But they are peaceful.
And we happen to run instead in dark places, alone?
I wonder if we really abbaimo all this serenity!
It is not a security package that makes us live more lighthearted, indeed we live even more anguish.
A terror that makes us appreciate the beauty of life coem a night walk alone or in pairs.
We are easy to talk about development, improvement.
our cities are a good example?
Or maybe it's better if we look in the eye and we roll up our sleeves to make our homes a better place to live.

Pope Leo XIII Giuseppe Toniolo by Leo XIII had the affection and trust. Toniolo participate 'in full apostolic aspirations of the Pope by the great scientific and social directives, looking for lines of harmony between science and faith, the achievement of social justice in the world and fraternal understanding between classes and peoples.
Toniolo father University 'Cattolica . From The Future, November 26, 2010 (Writes Maria Bocci):
In August '18 the publishing Life and Thought and the Italian Society for the Study of philosophical and psychological, through Gemini and Armida Barelli, presented in Toniolo, already very ill, a project to establish a tertiary institution.
The meeting was recalled by the players as intense and illuminating a moment in which Toni had passed the baton to the future chancellor of the Catholic, had been in Varallo Sesia, Pisa, where the master was hosted by a textile industrialist, Count Ernesto Lombardo. Toniolo, who have long followed the path of scientific Gemini, it had specifically asked to make a Catholic institution that would serve to promote the progress of studies. As a Gemini, Toni was convinced that free education should serve not only to guarantee the right of Christian families to give their children an education is not contradictory with faith, but also a fruitful comparison between the Catholic world and modern culture.
The lack of true freedom in higher education - a lack that, until then, had imbued the university of rationalism and materialism - the national education had dried up. At the same time helped to weaken the effectiveness of the proposed Catholic educational and scientific education had slowed in the ranks of Italian Catholicism. Immediately after the conflict was thus created, on a proposal from Filippo Meda, Giuseppe Toniolo Institute of higher learning, as "intermediate body" that prepare the advent of the Catholic University in order to avoid "arousing the suspicions and opposition of the enemies of religion."
As you know, the way suggested by Meda proved successful. On 6 February 1920, drafted by a notary public act Carlo Nogales, Toniolo Institute was founded and was forwarded to the Ministry of Education because the application was built in non-profit organization. The request was granted by Royal Decree of 24 June, countersigned by Benedetto Croce, Minister of Education last Giolitti government. Among the goals of Toniolo, as stated in the statute, there was "to establish courses of higher education to train young people in the disciplines of philosophy, legal and social conditions. Cardinal Ferrari, in a letter to Gemini, he noted that the body was created to promote the Catholic University.
