In virum perfectum (Eph 4:17).


I am not afraid of being a prisoner of the Lord which means following my Master everywhere. He has made me his disciple and taught me to behave with all humility, gentleness and patience. I accept his sacred chains with love and eagerness. Thus I imitate his example and I am able to respect my sisters and brothers. Moreover I do everything to preserve the community of love. 
His Holy Spirit fulfills my heart with peace and consequently I share hope and faith with others. Neither problems nor enemies are able to steal happiness from my heart. I believe that God is over all and my Lord may change every bad situation for good. 
I try to use his grace properly according to the measure of Christ's gift. Furthermore I ask him to show me the right way through life.
My vocation is to preach the Good News to the world because I was called for it. I do it and in this way I build the Body of Christ which is the holy Church. Eventually I will receive the reward of the eternal joy in the kingdom of God and I will become the mature person like my Lord Jesus Christ.

Evangelizatum est (Ga 1:11)



The relationship with Jesus should arise from the consideration of the Gospel. No one else is able to substitute this relationship. You cannot also learn it from the religious books or catechism. The friendship with Christ deepens gradually, day by day, by carefully considering his words contained in the Scriptures. Therefore you need zeal and openness for the gentle puff of the Holy Spirit. You cannot be Jesus Christ's friend and at the same time reject others or persecute them.
A good relationship with Lord is a great gift of God's grace and mercy. Overall, it is he who calls you to the intimate friendship and to fulfill the will of God. The one who abides in good relationship with his Master, should also bear witness to all those who are far from God.
A friend of Christ, that’s to say Christian, follows the inspirations that he hears in his heart and does everything the Holy Spirit calls him for. Deepening the life of prayer and participating in the life of the community of the Church, the Christian is constantly growing spiritually and shares the Gospel’s truth with their neighbors.

Misericordia Dei (Ap 1:9-13)



Human life consists of moments of happiness, but also sadness. All of these experiences are necessary and you are to be grateful for them. Thanks to them you can enter into a deeper contact with our Lord Jesus Christ. In this way he allows you to approach him and experience the state of spiritual rapture. Every Sunday, while participating in the Holy Sacrifice, you deepen your relation with the Son of God. He speaks to you with a powerful voice which is his merciful love. He lets you enter into a state of contemplation and he makes you go into raptures over the beauty of Spirit. Then you are able to see a patch of sky and to savor the glory of God. You receive his gift in order to share it with the people and to bear witness to the risen Christ. You need to turn away from the affairs of everyday life and to turn towards the light from above. Thus you have a share in the kingdom of heaven whence he comes to you as the Rising Sun and your Saviour who is clothed in a golden royal coat. If you look with humility in his divine face, he draws you towards him and puts his hand on your shoulder. His power calms your restless heart and ensures that your whole life is under God's Providence. He strengthens your faith and gives you hope of everlasting happiness in the Father's house.
