  • Vangelo di Oggi

    Nel Vangelo di oggi Maria si trova all'esterno del sepolcro, piangendo per la perdita del suo Signore. Non riconosce immediatamente Gesù risorto, ma quando lui la chiama per nome, "Maria", il suo cuore si apre alla verità e riconosce il Maestro. Questo gesto sottolinea l'intimità della relazione tra Gesù e ciascuno di noi: egli ci conosce per nome e ci chiama a seguirlo.

  • The Book of Baruch

    The Book of Baruch reveals part of the Lord's relationship with his people. The exile was necessary to teach Israel to trust in him (2:5). The nation acknowledges its sin and spiritually returns to the Lord by seeking his wisdom and law.

  • The Book of Lamentation

    Lamentations articulates the pain experienced in the collapse of Judah and Jerusalem, in 586 B.C.E. Third-person narration both describes and explains the suffering, but the book insistently moves toward direct, first-person articulation of the unbearable pain and devastation and God's responsibility for it.

  • The Book of Sirach

    The book of Sirach praises the study of the law, the wisdom of the men of old and their prophecies. Its author is well-read and rearticulates traditional Jewish wisdom for his generation, centering it on fear of the Lord, and clearly asserting that wisdom is a gift from God.

  • The Book of Ecclesiastes

    The main message of Ecclesiastes is that life is fleeting and meaningless without God's gift of wisdom and eternal perspective. The pursuit of wealth, power, and pleasure is futile and ultimately unsatisfying, while the fear of God and obedience to his commandments lead to true happiness and fulfillment.

  • The Book of Proverbs

    The Book of Proverbs assumes that divine revelation is communicated to individuals through careful and correct thinking, as well as through prophetic inspiration. This conception leads to the view that the wise man lives in harmony with the divine will; the fool brings disaster upon himself.

  • The book of Psalms

    The book of Psalms expresses worship. Throughout its many pages, Psalms encourages its readers to praise God for who He is and what He has done. The Psalms illuminate the greatness of our God, affirm His faithfulness to us in times of trouble, and remind us of the absolute centrality of His Word.

  • The book of Job

    The book of Job gives an account of a righteous man who faithfully responded to difficult trials. Job's experience invites us to ponder difficult questions about the causes of suffering, the frailty of human existence, and the reasons to trust in God, even when life seems unfair.
