adults can play?
The children almost always want to play. And the adults?
Adults can make two types of games: the game free and open to the imagination of the typical children, or aiming to gain the game: play the stock market, play the lottery, bet on horse races, playing at casinos, etc..
The second type of game is generally very sad, and sometimes a source of anxiety to ruin the game instead of which I speak here is the first type.
One of the most sad that we can hear from an adult is that they are many years that no longer plays, because the game is a serious matter.
The game is an attitude of the soul, is an attitude of mind, is the grace that is embodied in our daily lives.
If I have to wait an hour or two in the waiting room of the doctor, I mortally bored or I can start playing by counting the floor tiles to find out how many, I can follow the flight paths of insects that are present in the room looking to provide, I can observe the behavior of people sitting in front of me fantasizing about their lifestyles, I can bet that a patient will come the room of the doctor after five minutes and check the result, and so on. etc..
You can make millions of games: you can play with words, colors, shapes, with memory, with the designs, with fantasy, with memories, with numbers, with the objects. You can play alone, with friends, with children, with people whom you love, to strangers.
who grows up without saving within itself the size of the game, lives the life in black and white. There may be times in life when we must defend by mourning, grief and abandonment and the desire to play can not be part of our lives, but it is important that it remains alive within us, without getting lost altogether.
On the other hand, I do not like even the opposite extreme, that is, those who play in almost any situation, as eternal children, because their work seems to me contrived, formulaic, the result of an effort to ward off the most problematic of life.
people I love instead, even though they live normal lives on average, while dealing with understanding the hardships that life sometimes puts them in front, keep alive within him the desire to smile and laugh, cutting the widest possible areas of curiosity, adventure, freedom to play. Because the game is continuous creation, is unpredictable at its best, is an incentive for invention, is openness to life.
Without guilt, without false modesty, without fear of appearing childish.
I believe that those who, despite everything, he saved inside her playful attitude typical of children, a disservice to the relations between men and give a good contribution to the welfare of all.

Watch ]ross Kemp In Afgahnistan
Yesterday, the anniversary of the death of Renata Borlone, ended the diocesan phase of the beatification process.
for the occasion was presented the autobiography, edited by Lida Ciccarelli and Fabio Ciardi. click here
Renata has never thought of write an autobiography. He simply responded to a call asking her to clarify that and all his comrades first to tell the beginning of their history. Renata, who was accustomed to write to Clare, has just written a letter a bit 'longer than usual, telling of his early life, how it came into contact with the nascent movement, as a result of Clare. When I read this written by Renata, I was impressed by the beauty of the text, but mainly on the clarity of his life. I realized that I could be an example to many, because his journey was "normal" and at the same troubled, as is that of so many of us, and decided together. He never gave up and focused with all his strength to holiness, always feeling sorretta dall’amore di Dio. Una santità possibile, la sua. Per questo ho pensato valesse la pena far conoscere a tanti questa meravigliosa storia.

Does Red Cross Test For Weed
Renata's autobiography The joy of the family found
That charity which is the "fundamental virtue " of that dialogue in p. Marcello was a witness and a teacher, as I mentioned last night citing: "Any form of dialogue demands respect and love for each other. But for the Christian charity towards other is grafted in to God, who shares with us his love. It is a divine love that came into the world and that is embodied in Christ ... And the same dialogue takes on the qualities of charity: it is universal, progressive, thoughtful, earnest and disinterested, without limits and without calculation, understanding and adattato a tutti ” . Sono le qualità che mi sembra si rispecchino nella vita di p. Marcello e che siamo chiamati a far risplendere nella nostra vita.
“Missionario del dialogo”: resterà la qualità distintiva del vescovo trevigiano Marcello Zago missionario oblato di Maria Immacolata… E sarà questo il carisma della sua santità, se sarà aperto – come sembra – il processo per la sua beatificazione… because he united the experience with reflection, life with the doctrine, the witness with the teaching ... He loved and cultivated personal contact, listen, share, valued the experience of each, the diversity of experiences, with exquisite charity, human and enlightening. So today on "The Voice of the People.
We had two extraordinary days in Villorba, his hometown, recalling not only his figure and his message to ten years after his death, but also experienced the sense of family. It was this whole family of Zago, the natural, so close and compact, but also spiritual, with its Oblates, the relatives of the Oblates of the Veneto region around the world, friends of the Oblates, Oblate born families as OMMI COMI and religious of other congregations, priests, friends ... And then the parish Bishop ...
Sometimes there is an opportunity to meet together here in Rome, elsewhere, and although the years have passed, it's like every time we had seen the day before. It is the great family of St. Eugene, united by the deep bond of charity that he left us as his testament: "In your charity, charity, charity."
Nel viaggio di ritorno a Roma, sull’Appennino la neve dell’ultimo inverno ci saluta festante.
