MEDITATION ...

from the homilies on Ezekiel by Saint Gregory the Great, pope

(Book 1,11,4-6; CCL 142.170-172)
For the love of Christ does not save myself in speaking of him

"Son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel" (Ezekiel 3, 16). It should be noted that when the Lord sends one to preach, calling him by name as a sentinel. The Sentinel is in fact always on a high place, to see from far away no matter what is going to happen. Anyone who has set as a sentinel of the people must stand up with his life in order to benefit by his foresight.

How these words sound harsh I say! So saying, hurt myself, because nor exercised my tongue as befits the preaching, nor my life follows the language, even when it does what it can.

Now I do not deny being guilty, and I see my slowness and carelessness. Perhaps the same recognition of my guilt I will lose with the court pitiful.

course, when I was in the monastery I was able to retain the language from the useless words, and to keep the mind occupied in an almost continuous state of deep prayer. But when I put the weight back to the pastoral office, the mind can no longer collect assiduously in itself, because it is divided among many affairs.

I must now turn to the issues of churches, monasteries hours, often to examine the lives and actions of individuals, and now to interest the private affairs of citizens, now groaning under the swords of the barbarians and irruptive fear of the wolves that threaten the flock entrusted to me.

Now I have to give me thought of material things, because they lack appropriate aid to all those who take the rule of discipline bound. Sometimes I have to bear with undisturbed mind some raiders, sometimes confront them, but trying to keep the charity.

So when the mind is divided and torn apart leads us to consider a mass so big and so wide issues, as could fall in on itself, to devote himself to preaching the whole and not leave the ministry of the word?

Since then the need for office has to deal with men of the world sometimes do not mind to hold his tongue. In fact, if I keep in constant rigorous supervision on myself, I know that the weakest escape me and I will never take them wherever I want. For this reason it happens that many times I patiently listen to their words unnecessary. And because I am weak, dragged a little in vain talk, I get to speak willingly of what I had begun to listen against desire, and of hanging nicely to lie where I was sorry to fall.

What kind of watch I have, therefore, that instead of sitting on the mountain to work, still lie in the valley of weakness?

But the Creator and Redeemer of mankind has the ability to donate to me unworthy of the nobility of life and efficiency of language, because, for her love, no savings to speak of myself in him.

CATECHESIS THE HOLY FATHER

Dear brothers and sisters,

in 1988, during the Marian Year, the Venerable John Paul II wrote a Apostolic Letter entitled Mulieris Dignitatem , treating the valuable role that women have played and will play in the life of the Church. "The Church - it reads - thanks for all the manifestations of the feminine genius appeared in the course of history, among all peoples and all nations, thanks for all the charisms which the Holy Spirit gives women in the history of God's people, for all the victories which she owes to their faith, hope and charity, thanks for all the fruits of feminine holiness "(No. 31).

Even in those centuries of history we usually call the Middle Ages , different female figures stand for the sanctity of life and the richness of . Today I will start to introduce one of them : St. Hildegard of Bingen , lived in Germany in the twelfth century. He was born in 1098 in the Rhineland, in Bermersheim near Alzey, and died in 1179 at the age of 81 years, despite the continuing fragility of his health. Hildegard belonged to a noble family and numerous and, from birth, she was voted by his parents to God's service in eight years, to receive an adequate human and Christian, was entrusted to the care of the teacher Judith Spanheim, which was withdrawn in seclusion at the Benedictine monastery of St. Disibodo. Was going to form a small convent of cloistered, which followed the Rule of Saint Benedict. Hildegard received the veil from Bishop Otto of Bamberg, and in 1136, the death of her mother Judith, now superior of the community, the sisters asked to take over. He carried out this task by making capitalize on his skills as a cultured woman, spiritually elevated and capable of dealing with the organizational skills of the cloistered life. A few years later, partly because of the increasing number of young women who were knocking at the gates of the monastery, Hildegard von Bingen founded another community, dedicated to Saint Rupert, where he spent the rest of life. The style with which the ministry of authority exercised by each religious community is exemplary: it raised a holy emulation in the practice of goodness, so that, as is clear from the testimony of the time, the mother and daughters outdo each other and use .

Already in years when he was superior of the monastery of St. Disibodo, Hildegard began to dictate the mystical visions, which received a long time, his spiritual adviser, the Monaco Volmar, and his secretary, a sister who was very fond, Richardis of Roads . As always happens in the lives of true mystics, Hildegard would also submit to the authority of people learned to discern the source of his visions, fearing that they were the result of illusions and that were not from God so He turned to the person to his time enjoyed the highest esteem in the Church: Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, to whom I have already spoken in some Catechesis. These reassured and encouraged Hildegard. But in 1147 she received another important endorsement. Pope Eugene III, who chaired a synod in Trier, he read a text dictated by Hildegard, which is presented by the Archbishop Henry of Mainz. The Pope authorized to write his mystical visions and speak in public. Since then, the spiritual prestige of Hildegard grew more and more, so that contemporaries ascribed to the title of "prophetess Teutonic." This, dear friends, the seal of an authentic experience of the Holy Spirit, source of all charisma custodian of the person he has no supernatural gifts, never flaunts them and, above all, show total obedience to the authority of the Church. Every gift distributed by Holy Spirit, in fact, is for the edification of the Church and the Church, through its pastors recognize its authenticity.

'll talk again next Wednesday on this great woman "prophetess" who speaks with great interest to us even today, with his courageous ability to discern the signs of the times, with its love of creation, its medicine, its poetry, its music, which is now rebuilt, his love for Christ and His Church, suffering even in that time, also wounded at that time by the sins of priests and lay, and so much more popular as the Body of Christ. So St Hildegard speaks to us, we'll talk again next Wednesday. Thank you for your attention.
