The Parish of Santa Maria A Ponterosso, with the sponsorship of the City of Figline and Incisa Valdarno and the City of Reggello, is organizing a series of 3 meetings dedicated to guiding participants through the road that demarcates the simple "human being" from "being human" that is, capable of empathy, compassion of consolation, Mercy, true love and forgiveness.
Program of the first meeting:
Friday, May 26 at 9:15 p.m. at the M.C.L. Ponterosso Circle.
1) MOVING FROM "BEINGS" TO "HUMAN BEINGS."
Mt 5. 1-12
Blessed are the poor in spirit...
Blessed are the meek...
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness...
Blessed are the merciful...
Blessed are the pure in heart...
Blessed are the peacemakers...
These affirmations need no religious or faith affiliation; they can be universally recognized as a means to achieve the common good.
Song: Blessed is the man
Phrase from the song on which the intervention is centered along with the introduction of the moment:
"There will be that tenderness that you put into our souls; measure of humanity."
2) THE TRUE MEANING OF OUR EXISTENCE:
Often the difference is made by those who are able to push beyond convention, to overcome their own or imposed limitations.
Song: Staying Human
Phrase from the song on which the intervention is centered along with the introduction of the moment:
"That's what makes you live,that opens time, that marks the step, that fills the void, that reveals meaning, that keeps us human."
