JPII 8 neighbors: two years after his last trip

remember how yesterday FOSE April 2 two years ago.

returns to Rome after the Easter holidays, I traveled in the afternoon, hoping to reach Rome in time to greet the Pope

In the days before I wanted to be a square S. Peter's to pray with the other guys, with all the young men who had preceded JPII around the world, gathered in the GMG, fascinated by his preaching and the proclamation of God's love for everyone.

I remember the bells of Rome, the bell ringing from all distressing. The race to reach the square, the consolation of communal prayer, the certainty that death is not the last word in human life.

The first time I met John Paul II was during his visit to Agrigento in May 1993. I was 11, after the excitement of the white dot that struts through the crowd to the stage and greet the city, I spent the night between Saturday and Sunday to pull young people who look after the night watches were reaching for the municipal stadium 'encounter with the Holy Father. I tried to convince my parents to send me, I wanted to go alone, I also brought my brother to 9 years. Then, providentially, I pass a group of people you know, I can stop them and to join with the blessing of mom and dad.
that morning I remember a few, very few of what he said young people. But with so much emotion for the undisputed successor of Peter.

dell'Eucarstia In the afternoon I followed the celebration on TV. Those images are still provided for their beauty, yet the speech repeated the hardness of call to conversion for the Mafia .

In the following years between GMG, travel, and other times I met him at least once every year until 2000 when I came to Rome and from that moment on every occasion it was good to visit the Pope's meeting

more exciting, face to face, was in 2002 after the celebration for the university in preparation for Christmas.

E 'was my Pope, are still very fond of him.

preparation and celebration of Easter

[...] center of the whole liturgical year is the Triduum of the Lord, crucified, buried and resurrected, which will culminate on Easter Sunday. In every Sunday, Easter week, the Holy Church makes present this event in which Christ has conquered sin and death. From Easter to flow all the holy days [...].

With these words of the liturgy on the day of the Epiphany, the Church proclaims the great event of Easter, which fills the whole year litugico in the Sunday celebration of the Eucharist.

The size of Easter Sunday can be seen from the long preparation that precedes it, forty days' journey Lent - a time of grace, during which you climb the holy mountain of Easter - and the Church dall'esultanza prolonged for fifty days of the cycle.

In 1988, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments published a paper that integrates and explains the rules of the Roman Missal for the celebration of the Easter Triduum. The circular Paschalis sollemnitatis is a useful tool for those who are preparing to celebrate Easter. Not only those who have an office or ministries in the liturgy, but for all the faithful can actively participate in the liturgy and rites being aware of signs of thus realizing the ' actuosa participatio desired by the liturgical renewal of Vatican II.

In the Apostolic Exhortation Sacramentum Caritatis (No 52) Benedict XVI recalled that

the active participation called for by Council must be understood in more substantial terms, from a greater awareness of the mystery that is celebrated and its relationship to daily life. Still fully valid is the recommendation of the conciliar Constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium , who urged his followers not to attend the Liturgy of the Eucharist "as strangers or silent spectators," but to participate in "the sacred action conscious, devoutly and actively. " The reading of the letter

Paschalis sollemnitatis can help to participate without being strangers or silent spectators, because they are aware of the language that uses the liturgy of the faithful to enter into the mystery being celebrated. Not everyone in the liturgy, is expressed in words, there are signs, smells, gestures, colors, and in the liturgy to express and help to address the mystery that can profoundly change the direction of the lives of believers.

In the liturgy, there is not a play of the Easter Triduum, for this can not be silent spectators as in the theater, but is present today the event of the Passion death and resurrection of Christ. In the history of the apostles this event - complete with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost - has changed their lives, now offers us the same opportunity. By Judas, like Peter, to children.
