THE FIRE OF THE SPIRIT experiential workshop 21-22 November 2009

This workshop is the first in a series dedicated to the ancient knowledge of the Medicine Wheel.
The Medicine Wheel is a symbol used especially among Native Americans to bring healing to all parts of human nature: spiritual, emotional, physical and mental. The Wheel shows the connection with nature and the interdependence between nature and human beings. The fundamental stages of the Wheel are the four cardinal points, corresponding to four colors, four seasons, four animals, four basic steps of life, four aspects of human nature, four human races, and even more. Interesting is not it? Life is a cycle that begins with birth and ends with death, and just as life is a cycle including the various parts of life can be seen as a circle that closes and another opens ... Have you ever heard the expression "is a circle that closes"? when you close with the past, for example, when there is a change in life, when you reach the end of an experience, is like a circle that closes .. means to close a circle and terminate, conclude something, letting go .. reborn ..

In this workshop, the first path on the medicine wheel, we focus particularly on Eastern spirituality and the gifts: rebirth, change, new vision, the inner light. We will get in touch with the power of the Fire element, which symbolically destroys the old, creating the conditions for the new to their physician.

together will create a sacred space where trustingly open to love and abundance. We will use meditation, shamanic rituals, the power of crystals, herbs and purifying resins.

During the seminar you will be helped to bring clarity to your vision and bring healing where needed.

Pope's Message for World Mission Sunday 2009

"The nations will walk by its light" (Rev. 21, 24)

On this Sunday dedicated missions, I turn first to you, brothers and priests in the Episcopal ministry, and then to you, brothers and sisters, the whole People of God, to exhort everyone to revive an awareness of the missionary mandate of Christ to "make disciples of all nations" (Mt 28:19), in the footsteps of St. Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles.

" The nations will walk by its light ( Rev 21.24). The purpose of the Church's mission is to shed the light of the Gospel all the peoples in their historic journey to God, because in Him they reach their full potential and their fulfillment. We have to feel 1'ansia and passion to enlighten all peoples, by the light of Christ that shines on the face of the Church, because all may be gathered one human family under the fatherhood of God's loving

It is here that the disciples of Christ spread throughout the world work, struggle and groan under the burden of suffering and give life. I strongly reiterate what has been said many times that my predecessors: the Church does not act to extend his power and assert its dominance, but to bring Christ to all, save the world. We seek to place ourselves at the service of humanity, especially the suffering and the excluded, because we believe that "the effort to proclaim the Gospel to the people of our time ... is undoubtedly a service rendered to the Christian community, but also to all mankind "( Evangelii nuntiandi , 1), which" has experienced marvelous achievements but which seems to have lost its sense of ultimate realities and of existence itself "(Redemptoris missio , 2).

1. All Peoples called to salvation

of humanity, in truth, the radical vocation to return to its source, which is God, in whom only find fulfillment through the restoration of all things in Christ. The dispersion, diversity, conflict and enmity will be healed and reconciled through the blood of the Cross, and back to unity.

This new beginning has already begun with the resurrection and exaltation of Christ, which draws all things to himself, renewing, making them share in the eternal joy of God's new creation The future is already shining in our world and, despite contradictions and suffering, the hope of new life. The Church's mission is to "infect" the hope of all peoples. This is why Christ calls, justifies, sanctifies and sends his disciples to proclaim the Kingdom of God, so that all nations may become the People of God is only in this mission that we understand the true and authentic journey of humanity. The universal mission should become a fundamental constant the life of the Church. Proclaiming the Gospel must be for us, as the Apostle Paul, a primary and unavoidable duty .

2.

pilgrim Church The universal Church, without borders and boundaries, he feels responsible for announcing the Gospel in front of entire peoples (cf. Evangelii nuntiandi , 53). It is a seed of hope for a vocation, must continue the service of Christ in the world. Its mission and its service is not measuring the material or even spiritual needs that are exhausted in the framework of temporal existence, but a transcendent salvation, fulfilled in the Kingdom of God (cf. Evangelii nuntiandi , 27). This Kingdom, although in its eschatological and not of this world (cf. Jn 18.36), is also in this world and its history a force for justice, peace, true freedom and respect the dignity of every person. The Church seeks to transform the world through the proclamation of the Gospel of love, "that can always illuminate a world grown dim and give us the courage to live and work e. .. in this way to let in the light of God in the world "(Deus Caritas Est , 39). It is in this mission and service, even with this message, I call on all participating States and institutions of the Church.

3. Missio ad gentes

The mission of the Church, therefore, is to call all peoples to salvation by God through his incarnate Son. It is therefore necessary to renew our commitment to proclaiming the Gospel, which is the leaven of freedom and progress, brotherhood, unity and peace (cf. Ad Gentes , 8). I want to "confirm once more that the task of evangelizing all people constitutes the essential mission of the Church" ( Evangelii nuntiandi , 14), task and mission which the vast and profound changes in today's society make it even more urgent. At stake is the eternal salvation of persons, the goal and the fulfillment of human history and the universe. Animated and inspired by the people, we must realize that God has many people in all the cities visited by the apostles of today (cf. Acts 18:10). In fact, "the promise is for all who are far off, the Lord our God shall call" (Acts 2.39).

The whole Church must undertake in the missio ad gentes , until the saving sovereignty of Christ is not fully realized: "At present we do not see that everything is still subject to him" (Heb 2.8) .

4. Called to evangelize even through martyrdom

On this day dedicated to the missions, I remember in prayer those who have made their lives a unique dedication to the work of evangelization. A special mention is the local Churches, and for those missionaries who are to witness and spread the Kingdom of God in situations of persecution, with forms of oppression ranging from social discrimination to prison, torture and death. Not a few are that are put to death because of its "Name". It is still of tremendous relevance as my venerable Predecessor, Pope John Paul II: "The Jubilee remembrance us has a surprising, showing us that our time is particularly prolific in witnesses, who in one way or another, were able to live the Gospel in the midst of hostility and persecution, often to give the supreme proof of the blood "( Novo Millennium Ineunte, 41).

Participation in the mission of Christ, is also granted to those who preach the Gospel, which is reserved the same fate as their Master. "Remember the word that I said: A servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you "( Jn 15:20). The Church is the same path and suffers the same experience of Christ, why does not act according to human logic or relying on her strength, but by following the way of the Cross, becoming, in filial obedience to the Father, the witness and traveling companion of humankind.

Churches of ancient foundation to those of recent memory that are set by the Lord as the salt of the earth and light of the world, called to spread Christ, Light of the Gentiles, until the ends of the earth. The mission ad gentes must be a priority of their pastoral plans.

to the Pontifical Missionary extend my thanks and encouragement for the indispensable service of entertainment, education and economic assistance to the young missionary Churches. Through these institutions papal admirably achieved communion between the Churches, the exchange of gifts, mutual concern and shared missionary.

5. Conclusion

missionary drive has always been a sign of the vitality of our churches (cf. Redemptoris Missio , 2). You must, however, reaffirm that evangelization is the work of the Spirit, and that even before action is to witness and reflection of light of Christ (cf. Redemptoris Missio , 26) by the local Church, which sends missionaries and missionaries to go beyond its borders. I therefore call on all Catholics pray the Holy Spirit in the Church because it increases the passion for the mission to spread the Kingdom of God and to support missionaries, the missionaries and Christian communities engaged in the forefront of this mission, sometimes in hostile environments of persecution.

Invitation, at the same time, all as a credible sign of communion between the Churches, with economic aid, especially during the crisis facing humanity, to enable the young local churches in a position to enlighten the people with the Gospel of charity.

guides us in our missionary activity by the Virgin Mary, Star of the New Evangelization, which gave the world the Christ, since light of the nations, to carry salvation "to the ends of the earth" (Acts 13.47).

To all my blessing.

The "vehicle" that allows the "Journey" to be accomplished is the sound of "Shamanic Drum", the beat helps to enter into an altered state of consciousness.

Through a guided meditation you see an opening in the ground, which go to make your journey into the underworld. Your "inner journey" begins qundo hear the sound of the shaman's drum. accelerated the beat of the drum will sengnale that it is time to return from your "journey".

The Dance of the Animal Power

It 's a totally free dance whose music is made up of tribal rhythms with drums, ethnic instruments and modern melodies of contemporary music. Has its origins in shamanic dances, where, in an altered state of consciousness, the dancer becomes one with your animal guide, comparing its strength and its qualities, which give them spiritual power.

The dance begins with the sound of OM. At this stage, if you made the "journey", it is time to stand up and get ready to dance. You'll hear a deep breath with OM, it failed.

Dance with your eyes closed or even better with a bandana over his eyes. Let us go to the music, postponing aware of your breath.

If you found your power animal, or if you had already met earlier in a "journey" through this music you can dance, emulating gestures, six sounds, taking the energy of your pet. Remember that the power animal is beneficial to you, is a guide, an ally that supports you in your spiritual healing process. When the dance again hear the sound of OM, it's time to sit or lie down and relax. If you did not meet your power animal, the animal dance of power is another opportunity.

Pope urges young Christians to give hope to their peers

In his Message for World Youth Day of that & # 39; year, which will be held at diocesan level on Palm Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI urged young Christians to give hope to their peers at a time of crisis of hope.

"The crisis of hope is more likely to affect the younger generations in the socio-cultural environments with certainties, values \u200b\u200band solid points of reference are to address difficulties that seem beyond their strength, "says the Pope in the text, released today by the Holy See Press Office.

Young people today are in many cases" wounded by life, conditioned by personal immaturity that is often consequence of a dysfunctional family, the educational choices and permissive libertarian and difficult and traumatic experience, "he notes.

" For some - unfortunately there are many - the almost unavoidable is an alienating escape into dangerous and violent behavior toward dependence on drugs and alcohol, and many other traps for the unwary. "

Nevertheless," even those who find themselves in conditions painful to have followed the advice of 'bad teachers', turns off the desire for true love and true happiness, "notes the Bishop of Rome, indicating the need for young people" a new evangelization, which helps the new generations to rediscover the true face of God. "

In the text, the Pope recalls what he told young people in Sydney during the closing Mass of World Youth Day, urging them to let themselves be shaped by God to be messengers of divine love, able to build a future of hope for all humanity. "

" The question of hope is truly central to our lives as human beings and our mission as Christians, especially in these times, "he says.

The hope that must provide the young people, he adds, should be" firm and reliable. "Experience has shown that personal qualities and material goods are not sufficient to ensure that hope of which the 'human spirit is in constant search.

In this sense, points out that "one of the main consequences of God is the evident loss that marks our society, loneliness and violence, discontent and loss of confidence that can often lead to despair. "

St. Paul, model for young

advantage of the fact that this World Youth Day will take place in the context of the Pauline Year, Pope offers message to young people in St. Paul as a model of "a witness of hope" in the crisis and the difficulties he faced.

When he met Christ on the Damascus road, he says, "Saul was a young man like you, about twenty-five years, a follower of the Law of Moses and determined to fight by all means those he considered enemies of God."

For Paul, "hope is not only an ideal or a feeling, but a living person: Jesus Christ, the Son of God," added the Pontiff. "Like one day he met the young Paul, Jesus also wants to meet each of you, dear young people." This

encounter with Christ is above all "in prayer", he stressed, urging young people to make space for prayer is not only personal but also community: "There are many ways to become acquainted with him, no experience, groups and movements, meetings and tours to learn to pray and thus grow in the faith. Take part in your parish liturgies and feast upon the Word of God and active participation in the sacraments. "

Similarly, Benedict XVI urges evangelization: "The Church is counting on you for this challenging mission: Do not be discouraged by the difficulties and trials you encounter. Be patient and persevering to overcome the natural tendency of young people in a hurry to want everything now. "

eugenics and abortion comes first: the good laws and good families? A twenty

Interview With Father Raniero Cantalamessa

Mercedes de la Torre

ROME, Monday, February 16, 2009 (ZENIT.org) .- According to the Pontifical Household preacher, Christians today should seek to follow the example of their early predecessors to change society with his own testimony, rather than concentrate on changing the laws.

In this interview with ZENIT Father Raniero Cantalamessa, OFM Cap, illustrates the challenges facing the Christian families.

One of the main problems of the family of our times - as you say - is the lack of love. What solutions offer us the Holy Scriptures for families afflicted by the problems of today?

Father Cantalamessa: Marriage comes from humility, by an act of humility. In it, each recognizes its dependence on the needs of others. Without humility, the marriage can not stay alive and healthy. Pride is the enemy No A marriage and love itself.

I believe that today, more than defend the Christian marriage in society and culture, we should try to improve the quality Christian family and work for Christian families are truly a place where the initial plan of God is realized, or that man and woman in the couple live a love that will lead them to desire the eternal and infinite.

During the conference, the World Meeting of Families in Mexico, she has argued that Christians should engage in the world with more facts than by words, as it was in the early centuries of the Church. We can then give those elements that we find in the biblical message and to help us again bear witness to the Gospel of life and family?

Father Cantalamessa: I said - and I am convinced - that the early Christians, especially in the first three centuries, have managed to change the laws of the state with their behavior. Today we can not pretend to do the opposite, that change the behavior through the laws of the State. As citizens we must do everything possible to ensure that the state adopt good laws, good, that they are not contrary to life, but this is not enough. It is not enough because in a pluralistic society like today, Christians in some countries already represent a minority and therefore we are closer to a situation similar to that of the first centuries, rather than that of the Middle Ages, when Christians do not were defended by the state but from their lives and their testimony.

What is the current process of deconstruction of the family and how this is opposed to God's plan?

Father Cantalamessa: We are in extreme situations. It's like if you wanted to reinvent the man, woman, marriage ... results with "un-human." For example, the proposed abolition of the sexes, in which there is no defined sexual identity, but where anyone can build his life according to your desire for masculinity, femininity, or something more variable. This is unacceptable and goes against human nature. The deconstruction

proposal would abolish motherhood, because sees it as slavery. The woman is enslaved by motherhood and this has been found a way to give birth to children in another way, in a more artificial. These prospects are very dangerous, "un-human."

I have great confidence in the people's common sense and instinct: the desire of the opposite sex that God has instilled in the person, and the desire for parenthood, which are values \u200b\u200bthat God has placed in the human heart.

But I believe that these proposals could create much damage, as it was for Marxism. Marxism has been recognized as a great evil to society, which has made many victims. Similarly, this revolution - the revolution like that - before it is recognized as "un-human, have time to get massive damage.

Cover Letter For Dealership Position

the face of death ... Word of mouth

Article from the blog www.antoniosocci.it

"I am writing today because going to school have breathed an air of death." Thus begins the letter that I wrote Mark, 19, of Florence. "Last night a girl who attended the third year is dead after a night of irreversible coma. The night before he was going to the disco was in the car with other kids (...) the machine crashed into a tree. Our school had already been protagonist of the great facts of death three years ago, a girl who attended the last year has committed suicide by jumping out a third floor window.

can imagine the atmosphere that we breath in the days and months following ... Today we have relived that moment: the sad faces of the professors, their faces lost in the emptiness of the students, psychological or physical absence of his closest friends and relatives. "Mark is a student who attended the last year of high school. Ever Here is just a chronicle of his usual, describes what happens when death visits our days of youth, and especially a place like a school. It happens that - after the shock of a few days - adults move swiftly to close that window wide open on 'immense, the mystery of existence, to pretend that life is just the usual theater where sadly we drag to play a role assigned. But young people do not easily distract the eye from Mystery.

It is the result of this letter I was most impressed and moved. Mark is an adventurer, thirsting for truth and a happiness that does not vanish in a moment, then continues: "The Lord is speaking to my generation and does so with force. We are talking through the most extreme suffering, through death. Not long ago, other kids have died or been seriously injured in road accidents and their history has had to weave necessarily with our faith as Christians. I'm finding more and more that this world can not give us anything. Can not give us true friendships because the watchword of the world is 'be' and whether or not you appear, you're nobody, you will always alone. Can not give you happiness because it lasts longer than 30 seconds. Can not give you the comfort that you get to sleep at night when you find yourself alone, alone with your problems insurmountable, just because your parents are separating, just because nobody loves you. She does not think that for us Christians to be ready for a new mission, which is to begin a new evangelization? ".

I was impressed to read these words in a letter from a nineteen year old, a very normal boy, but that does not become tame by 'industry the stoned. Obviously Mark has seen and experienced something so beautiful and so big that it does not dissolve in front of the breath of Sister Death. This word "evangelization", indicates a face and a name, Jesus, who amazes and touches, especially on young people that has a charm even the most powerful of the desolation of death. It speaks to their heart, thirsting for life, happiness, love.

Mark continues: "Many saints have traveled all over the world to proclaim the Risen Christ, but perhaps for our time we must begin, not from Africa or Asia, but from our house, our street, from our parish . E 'need to be taught to my generation that there is a God who loves them, who came to die for all of us, but who rose and destroyed the Death. I can assure you that these people are just waiting for us. By the grace of God, my parents joined the Walk-Neocatecumenale more than thirty years ago and this has allowed crescessimo faith. Personally I walk this allowed me to discover a God who loves me not for my merits, but as they are, especially for my sins, and that just want to treat me, wants to show his love. In our parish we found ourselves in front of so many human deaths absurd, but paradoxically the families involved in these deaths have responded with love .... "And at this point

Mark begins a shocking account of daily life. In a desperate world where the media attention only to the size of the Big Brother guests are men and women with a confidence and a love stronger than death.

"More than eight years ago my friend Nicholas died of a tumor in the cerebellum. He could only finish elementary school and did not know the age of the more beautiful life. Despite all this nonsense, which has always struck me him was his smile that he brought with him getting to the catechism, even after treatment. Since his death, the catechism of our group received the grace to remain united so far and is a true miracle, thinking about where they can be Now many of my friends. His funeral was a celebration beyond description, one of his brothers was so excited that when we accompanied his body to the cemetery was started shouting naively want to achieve in order to play with him again. That funeral was struck all present, because he had not said goodbye to anyone, it was hailed a brother that we reviewed. For the faith of his parents and for the beauty and joy of the funeral many people were questioned in depth and maybe still do today. What always strikes people is that the funeral in my parish seem to weddings: the songs are all happy and the coffin is placed over the baptismal font, which is on the ground, because it symbolizes the passage of the waters of death to new life. More recently, a boy, Jonathan, died of motor falling, something that I can not forget is the face of her mother, who invited us to be happy, because Jonathan was gone to Heaven. In the square, a friend told me that he was not surprised by this mother's response to the death of his son. He said, 'They are religious'. These deaths were an ordeal for me because I have shared so many emotions, they put me in front of the fact that we are not eternal, we can and must die. But I found that this death has been conquered by Christ. He won my dead. I am certain of this, but I wish this good news came to all my friends, to all my peers who may not know how to give meaning to their life, but I will have one and I can not reach them all. I therefore call for help to the Mother Church, in whom I trust because I have experienced that it is really her mother, who gives me the pardon and that it really changes my salvation. "

Marco writes me its urgent appeal to the parishes of his city (as meet priests and bishops?), invites them to open up the movement "because I know it's hard to live as Christians without a small community that helps you, you listen, you are correct, to hope for forgiveness, in which Christ is ... I urge all parishes in Florence to open the doors to Christ in these new forms, because Young people are the road to taking drugs, drinking, without parents, without love. Their life has no meaning and we who are the salt of the world have a duty to announce to them that Christ loves them and that they can begin to smile, they can stop pretending, can cry without fear of being judged 'weak', they can discover true friendships based on love of Christ. These guys have a right to know who their friends meet again in heaven and that there is no death that can divide us, there is only Christ who unites us to the next. "

is not out of this world? Don Giussani said that Christianity is literally out of this world in this world. "In fact, the Paradise begins here as the smile that opens up in tears and eventually takes over. As the sun illuminates the clouds and opens when the last drops of rain finally bringing the blue.
