What St. Peter Canisius and St. Lawrence of Brindisi did for Germany, St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) did for Switzerland. Born just three years after John Calvin died, St. Francis de Sales found the Catholics of Geneva a persecuted minority, but by the time he was finished there, the region was mostly Catholic again.

July 21st, 2026:  St Lawrence of Brindisi - Speaking Truth in Charity;  St Lawrence of Brindisi - Great Ornament of the Capuchin Order;  St Lawrence of Brindisi, Apostolic Doctor;  St Lawrence of Brindisi - Sower of the Faith;  St Lawrence of Brindisi - Outstanding Preacher

Send us Fan MailOne word shows up again and again in the life of St. Lawrence of Brindisi, and it isn't a slogan. It's the holy name of Jesus, spoken as a prayer, trusted as a refuge, and proclaimed with the kind of conviction that moves hearts. We walk through how a young orphan from Brindisi became a Capuchin Franciscan, a fearless preacher, and eventually a Doctor of the Church whose influence reached from monasteries to royal courts and even battlefields. Along the way, we dig into the habits that actually formed him: immersion in Scripture (in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin), a life of gospel poverty, and a steady Marian devotion that keeps his spirituality grounded and relational. When Europe is shaken by religious conflict and confusion, Lawrence's approach isn't performative or combative. He uses his learning in service of people, speaking with clarity and charity, and he keeps returning to a simple center: Jesus Christ, truly present in the Eucharist. We also explore why the episode keeps using the language of spiritual warfare. For Lawrence, invoking “Jesus” isn't a magic trick; it's a deliberate act of trust in the living Lord, especially in fear, temptation, and doubt. If you want Catholic spirituality that feels both ancient and immediately usable, his life is a guide to Eucharistic adoration, brave faith, and prayer that doesn't flinch.

44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.Simile est regnum caelorum thesauro abscondito in agro : quem qui invenit homo, abscondit, et prae gaudio illius vadit, et vendit universa quae habet, et emit agrum illum. 45 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.Iterum simile est regnum caelorum homini negotiatori, quaerenti bonas margaritas. 46 Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quae habuit, et emit eam. 47 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.Iterum simile est regnum caelorum sagenae missae in mare, et ex omni genere piscium congreganti. 48 Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonis in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt. 49 So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.Sic erit in consummatione saeculi : exibunt angeli, et separabunt malos de medio justorum, 50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.et mittent eos in caminum ignis : ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium. 51 Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.Intellexistis haec omnia? Dicunt ei : Etiam. 52 He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.Ait illis : Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno caelorum, similis est homini patrifamilias, qui profert de thesauro suo nova et vetera.Laurence of Brindisi, a Capuchin friar who for some years ruled his whole Order, acquired great fame for learning and eloquence, and labored with remarkable success in most parts of Europe preaching to Catholics, to Protestants, and to Jews. When 80,000 Turks invaged Hungary in 1605, he it was who inspired the united Christian armies of 18,000 men to the attack and himself led them to complete victory riding before them bearing a large cross. He died in Lisbon in 1611. 1. The Treasure Hidden in the Field (vv. 44)A man discovers a treasure so valuable that he joyfully sells everything to buy the field.Notice two things:He doesn't give up everything reluctantly.He gives it up because he has found something infinitely better.Jesus isn't saying Christians should despise earthly goods. He's saying that once you've discovered the Kingdom, everything else finds its proper place.2. The Pearl of Great Price (vv. 45–46)This parable is slightly different.The first man stumbles upon the treasure.The merchant has been searching all along.Some people are converted unexpectedly. Others spend years searching for truth before they find Christ.Again, Jesus emphasizes the worth of the Kingdom.3. The Dragnet (vv. 47–50)Jesus is describing the visible kingdom on earth.The Church contains:saintssinnerspeople growing in holinesspeople resisting graceThe final separation belongs to God.Sometimes we wonder why evil seems to remain in the world—and even within the visible Church. Jesus says the final judgment comes at the end of the age.4. The Householder (vv. 51–52)Then He says:"Every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings forth from his treasure things new and old." A faithful disciple doesn't discard the old. He doesn't cling only to the new. He treasures both.As Catholics, we naturally think of:the Old Testament fulfilled in Christthe continuity of apostolic teachingthe Church preserving ancient truth while continually proclaiming it anew.

Full Text of Readings Tuesday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 396 The Saint of the day is Saint Lawrence of Brindisi Saint Lawrence of Brindisi's Story At first glance, perhaps the most remarkable quality of Lawrence of Brindisi is his outstanding gift of languages. In addition to a thorough knowledge of his native Italian, he had complete reading and speaking ability in Latin, Hebrew, Greek, German, Bohemian, Spanish, and French. Lawrence was born on July 22, 1559, and died exactly 60 years later on his birthday in 1619. His parents William and Elizabeth Russo gave him the name of Julius Caesar, Caesare in Italian. After the early death of his parents, he was educated by his uncle at the College of St. Mark in Venice. When he was just 16, he entered the Capuchin Franciscan Order in Venice and received the name of Lawrence of Brindisi. He completed his studies of philosophy and theology at the University of Padua and was ordained a priest at 23. With his facility for languages Lawrence of Brindisi was able to study the Bible in its original texts. At the request of Pope Clement VIII, he spent much time preaching to the Jews in Italy. So excellent was his knowledge of Hebrew, the rabbis felt sure he was a Jew who had become a Christian. Lawrence's sensitivity to the needs of people—a character trait perhaps unexpected in such a talented scholar—began to surface. He was elected major superior of the Capuchin Franciscan province of Tuscany at the age of 31. He had the combination of brilliance, human compassion, and administrative skill needed to carry out his duties. In rapid succession he was promoted by his fellow Capuchins and was elected minister general of the Capuchins in 1602. In this position he was responsible for great growth and geographical expansion of the Order. Lawrence of Brindisi was appointed papal emissary and peacemaker, a job which took him to a number of foreign countries. An effort to achieve peace in his native kingdom of Naples took him on a journey to Lisbon to visit the king of Spain. Serious illness in Lisbon took his life in 1619. In 1956, the Capuchins completed a 15-volume edition of Lawrence's writings. Eleven of these 15 contain his sermons, each of which relies chiefly on scriptural quotations to illustrate his teaching. Reflection His constant devotion to Scripture, coupled with great sensitivity to the needs of people, present a lifestyle which appeals to Christians today. Lawrence had a balance in his life that blended self-discipline with a keen appreciation for the needs of those whom he was called to serve.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Dr. Tom Curran asks Fr. Kurt Nagel to respond to quotes by St. Lawrence of Brindisi on themes, such as: the importance of language/ words, the power of God's Word, the struggle between interior vs. exterior, the duty of preaching, and more.

A Brindisi è una mattina tranquilla. Nella casa di via Tirolo, Fernanda Ricciardi, 84 anni, segue la sua routine: la cucina, le piccole cose di ogni giorno. Poco dopo mezzogiorno qualcuno entra in casa. Non ci sono segni di scasso, nessun oggetto fuori posto.In cucina si consuma un'aggressione improvvisa e feroce: 94 coltellate. La scena non racconta una rapina, non suggerisce l'arrivo di estranei. È una violenza che nasce dentro quelle mura.Gli investigatori ricostruiscono orari, spostamenti, testimonianze. Le tracce di viaggio, i comportamenti delle settimane precedenti, le parole dette a mezza voce da chi conosce la famiglia.A poco a poco, il cerchio si chiude. L'aggressore non è un intruso: è qualcuno che Fernanda conosceva e che quella mattina ha varcato la soglia senza forzare nulla.La verità arriverà solo alla fine dell'indagine: Davide Antonelli, suo nipote, un ragazzo di vent'anni in preda a confusione mentale e allucinazioni, è l'autore dell'omicidio.EPISODI SENZA PUBBLICITÀAccesso Patreonhttps://patreon.com/InchiostroNeroAccesso YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgWYgzMqnraaWzHOy6e4ZwQ/joinSEGUICI SU:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/inchiostro_nero_podcastCanale WhatsApphttps://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VayE7vP4CrfaFPR9An0WQuesta è un'opera di fantasia ispirata da una storia vera.

St. Lawrence of Brindisi (1559-1619) was a Preacher, spiritual director, missionary, diplomat, confidant of princes and emperors, Papal Emissary, military chaplain, Provincial Vicar of the Capuchins, and Vicar General of the Franciscan order. Called the greatest preacher in the history of the Church, during his lifetime people treated him like a rockstar. He was also one of the most prominent Catholic apologists of his generation.

In un liceo di Cesena lo striscione appeso da alcuni studenti con su scritto “L’Italia agli italiani” è stato sanzionato con l'ordine di redigere una tesina antirazzista dal titolo "Gli africani siamo noi" e ne sono seguite polemiche. Approfondiamo questo tema per poi spostarci a Brindisi dove il sindaco riformista deve fare i conti con tre suoi consiglieri che hanno cambiato casacca passando al generale Vannacci. Infine un'ampia pagina dedicata alla politica estera e all'accordo Usa e Iran.

St. Lawrence of Brindisi (1559-1619) was one of the early Capuchins, the first Capuchin to be named a Doctor of the Church, and the third Franciscan so named, after St. Anthony of Padua, and St. Bonaventure. Just as the Discalced Carmelites were reformers within the Carmelite order, the Capuchins were reformers within the Franciscan order. St. Lawrence was also a popular preacher, a genius scholar, with a command of at least 10 languages, and the leading Catholic apologist of his day.

We visit Brindisi, one of Puglia's most underrated cities. Brindisi was once one of the great crossroads of the entire Mediterranean world. Julius Caesar blockaded its harbour. The Roman Empire's legions marched east from here. Crusader armies set sail from these waters for the Holy Land. Virgil, the greatest poet of the ancient world, died here. Shakespeare wrote about it. And in 1943, when Rome fell to German occupation, Brindisi became the capital city of Italy. Our Brindisi guide has details of all locations and restaurants recommended. Follow us on Instagram for frequent video stories, reels, photos, ideas and other information to inspire your stay in Puglia.

A dos años de la muerte de César Luis Menotti, este comienzo de programa nos sorprendió con un móvil de Ezequiel Fernández Moores en la presentación de Menotti. El primero, su propio libro, en el Círculo Patricios. Un homenaje que compartió con Fernando Signorini, Guillermo Blanco y Miguel Brindisi, que también se sumó en vivo. Recordamos aquel Club Atlético Huracán campeón del 73, la identidad del barrio y una manera de entender el fútbol.Además, nos fuimos hasta España para hablar de otra hinchada militante: Rayo Vallecano y su fuerte identidad popular.

Andrea Martina"Questo posto mi sta respingendo"66thand2ndwww.66thand2nd.comLucio parte da Crianza, un paese tra Brindisi e Lecce, col treno notturno per Torino e un pensiero fisso che lo soffoca: non passa più un esame a Ingegneria da molto tempo. Ai suoi genitori non ha ancora avuto il coraggio di dire nulla. Prova a convincersi che saprà rimettere insieme i pezzi, ma non ci riesce e ogni telefonata, ogni ritorno a casa, ogni domanda innocente rischia di smascherare la recita quotidiana che porta avanti con angoscia e ostinazione.Anche Atena torna a Torino per il suo ultimo anno di Architettura, è amica e coinquilina di Lucio ma a differenza di lui è in pari con gli esami, e i suoi voti sono sempre stati altissimi. Figlia del sindaco di Crianza, il suo futuro sembra già scritto: lavorerà nello studio del padre. Eppure, sotto la superficie di una vita che conferma le aspettative degli altri, trema un'inquietudine silenziosa. Quando i genitori subiscono un'intimidazione, ciò che sembrava lontano – la violenza, il potere, il peso delle scelte – diventa impossibile da ignorare.Le vite di Lucio e Atena scorrono parallele, incerte e fragili. Insieme scoprono che la rabbia può assumere forme impreviste, come un gesto notturno, una vendetta silenziosa. E scoprono anche che «realizzarsi» può significare molte cose diverse.Andrea Martina scrive un romanzo di formazione delicato e inquieto, che racconta lo smarrimento e il desiderio di trovare da soli il proprio posto nel mondo.Andrea Martina è nato in provincia di Brindisi, vive e insegna a Modena.

Lo scalo di Brindisi era senza jet fuel. A Reggio Calabria sono state introdotte limitazioni per la carenza di cherosene e Pescara per un guasto si trova con una sola cisterna. Lo si legge nei bollettini pubblicati nel lunedì di Pasquetta e che fanno seguito ai quattro arrivati 48 ore fa. In quel caso si trattava degli aeroporti di Milano Linate, Bologna, Treviso e Venezia, per le difficoltà del fornitore Air Bp Italia.Intanto oggi la situazione sembra rientrata: procede regolarmente questa mattina la fornitura di carburante per gli aerei in partenza nell'aeroporto del Salento di Brindisi, gestito da Aeroporti di Puglia. Alcune autobotti sono già giunte nello scalo e altre ne arriveranno nel corso della giornata. La fornitura, peraltro, non è stata mai sospesa. Ieri sera, di fronte alla eventualità che lo scalo rimanesse nella giornata di oggi senza carburante, dopo la diffusione di alcuni bolllettini aeronautici, il presidente di Aeroporti di Puglia Antonio Maria Vasile aveva precisato che non c'era "alcuna emergenza" e che la situazione era "sotto controllo, anche e soprattutto a Brindisi", invitando a evitare "preoccupazioni o allarmismi. Le forniture di carburante continuano regolarmente e non c'è alcun rischio di carenza imminente", aveva aggiunto. Facciamo il punto con Ugo Arrigo professore associato presso l'Università Bicocca di Milano.L'allarme di DimonWall Street oggi ha aperto negativa con l'avvicinarsi della scadenza dell'ultimatum di Donald Trump all'Iran. Ieri, sul piano delle esternazioni pubbliche, a prendere la parola è stato Jamie Dimon. Nella consueta lettera agli azionisti, l amministratore delegato di JP Morgan ha sottolineato senza giri di parole come la guerra in Iran metta l intero mondo finanziario «di fronte all insorgenza di shock significativi per i prezzi del petrolio e delle materie prime, che potrebbero comportare un livello di inflazione più persistente e tassi di interesse più elevati rispetto alle attese dei mercati».«Non abbiamo avuto una recessione creditizia da molto tempo, e sembra che alcune persone diano per scontato che non accadrà mai», ha detto. Un monito netto, che squarcia il velo di compiacenza di Wall Street con una previsione inequivocabile: «Non appena il ciclo del credito si invertirà, cosa che accadrà un giorno, le perdite su tutti i prestiti a leva in generale saranno superiori al previsto». In ogni caso - ha aggiunto - non è "probabilmente" un problema sistemico. Il commento è di Alessandro Plateroti, Direttore editoriale UCapital.comAgenzia Internazionale dell'Energia, 'crisi per Hormuz la peggiore di quelle del '73, '79 e 2002 messe insieme'Il conto alla rovescia verso le 20 americane (le 2 di notte in Italia) è iniziato: nel giro di poche ore si capirà se il presidente americano Donald Trump darà seguito alla minaccia di "cancellare in una notte un intero Paese" o se concederà ancora tempo ai negoziati in corso attraverso i mediatori internazionali. Poche ore fa l'Iran ha chiuso tutti i canali di comunicazione diplomatici e indiretti con gli Stati Uniti, secondo quanto riportato dal quotidiano controllato dallo Stato Tehran Times su X. "Sono stati sospesi anche tutti gli scambi di messaggi". Il Teheran Times è considerato come strettamente legato alle fazioni più intransigenti all'interno del governo iraniano.Intanto per il direttore dell'Agenzia Internazionale dell'Energia (Aie), Fatih Birol, l'attuale crisi di petrolio e gas, innescata dal blocco dello stretto di Hormuz da parte dell'Iran, è "più grave di quelle del 1973, 1979 e 2002 messe insieme". Il mondo, ha affermato Birol, "non ha mai sperimentato un'interruzione dell'approvvigionamento energetico di tale portata". Il direttore dell'Aie ha aggiunto che i Paesi più a rischio sono quelli in via di sviluppo, le cui popolazioni saranno prevedibilmente colpite in modo duro dall'aumento dei prezzi dei combustibili. Il mese scorso, i Paesi membri dell'Aie hanno concordato di rilasciare parte delle riserve strategiche: Birol ha spiegato che tale processo è già stato avviato, ma attualmente resta ancora in corso. Ne parliamo con Davide Tabarelli, presidente Nomisma Energia.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 7 Aprile 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Energia e GeopoliticaTestate coinvolte: Corriere della Sera / La Repubblica / La Stampa / Il Messaggero / Milano Finanza * Emergenza Carburanti e Scorte: La chiusura dello Stretto di Hormuz sta causando una crisi delle forniture di petrolio e cherosene. In Italia, il prezzo del gasolio è salito a 2,140 €/litro, mentre la benzina self-service ha raggiunto 1,781 €/litro. Le scorte nazionali di energia sono attualmente al 44% della capacità, superando la media europea del 20%. * Crisi del Trasporto Aereo: Sette scali italiani, tra cui Brindisi (a secco fino alle ore 12:00 del 07/04), Reggio Calabria (limite di 3.000 litri per aereo) e Pescara, segnalano criticità nei rifornimenti di jet fuel. Il prezzo del cherosene ha superato i 1.900 $/tonnellata, più del doppio rispetto a fine febbraio. * Impatto Geopolitico e Mercati: Le quotazioni del greggio WTI hanno superato i 114 $/barile (+2,4%) e il Brent i 111 $/barile (+1,8%). Aramco ha alzato i prezzi per l'Europa di 24-30 $ sopra il Brent, portando il costo effettivo a 130-140 $/barile. Dall'inizio del conflitto, le borse europee hanno bruciato oltre 1.100 miliardi € di capitalizzazione.Investimenti e MercatiTestate coinvolte: L'Economia del Corriere della Sera / La Repubblica Affari & Finanza / Il Sole 24 Ore * Venture Capital e Startup: Il mercato italiano del venture capital vale tra 1,2 e 1,8 miliardi € annui, con ticket medi di 1,1 milioni €. Negli ultimi 10 anni, le startup italiane hanno generato 80 miliardi € di liquid value, contro i 430 miliardi della Francia. Si stima che aziende tecnologiche europee per 700 miliardi € abbiano lasciato il continente tra il 2014 e il 2025. * Ricchezza delle Famiglie: Il reddito medio delle famiglie residenti in Italia nel 2024 è stato di 39.501 € (3.290 €/mese), con una crescita del 5,3% che ha superato l'inflazione (1,1%). Tuttavia, la propensione al risparmio è scesa all'8,2%. Le attività finanziarie totali delle famiglie superano i 6.000 miliardi €. * Asset Digitali: Il Bitcoin ha mostrato un recupero tornando sopra i 70.000 $, segnando un rialzo dell'1,5% dopo una perdita del 23% nel primo trimestre dell'anno.Industria e Nomine PartecipateTestate coinvolte: Corriere della Sera / La Repubblica / La Stampa * Governance di Stato: Il governo è impegnato nel rinnovo dei vertici di oltre 20 partecipate statali, coinvolgendo circa 100 posizioni strategiche. * Focus Leonardo: Avanza il nome di Lorenzo Mariani per sostituire Roberto Cingolani come AD di Leonardo. Nel 2025, il gruppo ha registrato ricavi vicini ai 20 miliardi €, un portafoglio ordini di 47,3 miliardi € e ha distribuito dividendi per 0,63 € per azione. Si stimano dividendi per 1,3 miliardi € nel triennio 2026-2028. * Altre Conferme: Claudio Descalzi si avvia verso il quinto mandato come AD di Eni, mentre per Enel si profila la conferma di Flavio Cattaneo (AD) e Paolo Scaroni (Presidente).Fisco e NormativaTestate coinvolte: L'Economia del Corriere della Sera / Il Sole 24 Ore * Evasione e Recupero: L'Agenzia delle Entrate ha recuperato circa 36,2 miliardi € dall'evasione fiscale nell'ultimo anno. L'evasione fiscale e contributiva complessiva è stimata oltre i 100 miliardi €/anno, con il sommerso che pesa per il 10% del PIL. * Adempimento Collaborativo: Il numero di società che hanno aderito a questo schema è salito a 221 (78 nuove adesioni nel 2025). La normativa riguarda attualmente società con fatturato sopra i 500 milioni €, soglia che scenderà a 100 milioni € dal 2028.Lavoro e FormazioneTestate coinvolte: L'Economia del Corriere della Sera / La Repubblica / Il Messaggero * Mercato del Lavoro: I dati Istat di febbraio mostrano un calo di 29.000 occupati su base mensile, con un incremento tendenziale annuo di sole 13.000 unità (molto inferiore alle 354.000 del 2025). * Salari e Contrattazione: Il potere d'acquisto in Italia ha perso l'8% dallo shock inflattivo dell'invasione russa, recuperando finora solo l'1%. Circa il 60% dei contratti collettivi nazionali (CCNL) risulta scaduto. * Nuove Regole: Da oggi entrano in vigore nuove regole per lo smart working, con obblighi informativi sulla prevenzione e sicurezza per i dipendenti.Executive Takeaway (Insight per la C-Suite) * Resilienza Operativa e Energy Sourcing: La crisi nello Stretto di Hormuz impone una revisione immediata delle supply chain energetiche. Nonostante le scorte nazionali (44%) offrano un cuscinetto temporaneo, il raddoppio dei costi del jet fuel e i picchi del gasolio richiedono strategie di hedging più aggressive e diversificazione dei vettori logistici. * Capitalizzazione dell'Innovazione: L'Europa continua a "esportare crescita" (700 miliardi di capitalizzazione persi verso l'estero). Per le aziende italiane late-stage, è fondamentale sfruttare i nuovi strumenti di Private Debt e i mega-fondi UE da 5 miliardi per evitare la migrazione di capitali e competenze verso i mercati USA. * Evoluzione del Rapporto Fisco-Impresa: La transizione verso l'adempimento collaborativo (esteso alle imprese da 100M€ dal 2028) trasforma il fisco da avversario a partner negoziale. Implementare un Tax Control Framework solido è oggi un vantaggio competitivo per ridurre sanzioni e incertezza di bilancio. * Gestione del Capitale Umano e Salari: Con il 60% dei contratti scaduti e un'occupazione in rallentamento, le aziende devono prepararsi a una revisione dei parametri salariali. Indicazioni positive arrivano dalla detassazione al 5% sui rinnovi contrattuali proposta dal governo per incentivare il potere d'acquisto. * Governance e Continuità: Il massiccio rinnovo delle cariche nelle partecipate (100 posizioni) influenzerà i settori Difesa, Energia e Infrastrutture. La continuità operativa in giganti come Eni ed Enel garantisce stabilità, mentre il nuovo corso in Leonardo segnerà una forte spinta sui sistemi missilistici e spaziali.

Gianluigi Cosi"45 giri di poesia"Canzone che viene, canzone che vaEdizioni il raggio verdewww.ilraggioverdesrl.it“45 giri di poesia – canzone che viene canzone che va” è la nuova raccolta di poesie di Gianlugi Cosi edito da Il Raggio Verde edizioni. Un libro che nelle intenzioni dell'autore, fotografato in copertina da Mimmo Summa,  vuole essere un omaggio alla musica d'autore italiana da riscoprire attraverso il filtro della poesia che le canzoni hanno ispirato. Si tratta di un vero e proprio viaggio musicale  – spiega lo stesso Cosi  – «attraverso le poesie e le canzoni, attraverso una chitarra o un piano, attraverso le parole e le emozioni. La canzone scappa via la poesia si aggrappa al cuore e rimane lì sospesa.Bisognerebbe educarsi alla canzone con la poesia, ascoltare il più possibile i vecchi e nuovi cantautori, leggere la storia. Fu Vincenzo Micocci che “inventò” il termine “Cantautori” negli anni Settanta con la scuola romana nel famoso Folkstudio fucina di grandi artisti.»Impreziosisce la raccolta l'inserimento ad ogni poesia del qrcode del brano che ha ispirato il componimento.   Scrive in prefazione Carmelo Grassi  direttore artistico Nuovo Teatro Verdi di Brindisi: «I “45 giri” del titolo sono rotazioni dell'anima. Sono istantanee di un'epoca che, lungi dall'essere nostalgica, diventa un laboratorio emotivo per il presente. Questo libro è più che un'operazione retrospettiva, è un vero atto di riappropriazione: ci restituisce le canzoni come spazi aperti, come paesaggi in cui tornare a camminare. E lo fa con uno stile sobrio, calibrato, mai ridondante. Una poesia che non alza la voce ma che resta impressa. “45 giri di poesia” è anche, infine, un invito. A riascoltare con attenzione. A rileggere con lentezza. A non archiviare mai ciò che ci ha emozionato. Perché la bellezza – come la musica, come la poesia – non ha bisogno di molto per rivelarsi: le basta una scintilla. Un frammento. Una parola giusta al momento giusto. E Gianluigi Cosi, in queste pagine, ha saputo trovarla.»Gianluigi Cosi è nato nella primavera del 1976 a Brindisi dove attualmente vive e lavora.  Cantautore e scrittore scrive filastrocche, canzoni e poesie. Dal 2007 è il cantante dei “Rinoplastici” una tribute band dedicata a Rino Gaetano. Ha iniziato a fare teatro portando in giro lo spettacolo dal titolo “Ci vuole un fiore” cantando Endrigo e leggendo Rodari che considera suo maestro ispiratore. Ha scritto per il Raggio Verde: Betta caretta e gli amici della macchia (2015), Camilla clorofilla e il bosco che brilla (2017) Iole girasole e i prati in fiore (2019), Nessuno bacia Biancaneve (2021), Hanno vinto i bambini (2024).

Could You Perform Miracles?John 14:12-13 “Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.”This is one of my favorite verses in the Bible.  It is one that I read, and when I heard it, I believed it right away.  Some verses are like this in the Bible.  When you read the Bible, some things are easy to take in and others are difficult.  These easy and difficult things are different for everyone.  We all have different experiences when we read the Bible because we have all had different experiences throughout our lives.  There is a quote by Steven R. Covey that I really like.  Steven R. Covey said, “We see the world, not as it is, but as we are.”  This is true for the Bible as well.  We look at and interpret the things we read in the Bible through our own unique lens.  For instance, if we had people letting us down our whole lives, we may read the parts of the Bible that talk about trust and struggle to believe we can trust God because we haven't been able to trust anyone on earth.  If we have grown up in a very unloving environment, we may struggle with the parts of the Bible that talk about unconditional love. Other things may come easier to us.  I instantly loved this verse.  I know the Bible is God's Word and that God chose His words very carefully.  Sometimes, when we are reading the Bible, there may be a question in our minds about why they used this word vs. that word.  One thing I have learned from doing Bible studies is that there is always a reason why certain words were chosen.  Also, if you have done Bible studies, you have had the benefit of hearing all about the original Greek or Hebrew words that were used in the original translation and what those words meant.  Sometimes, when translated, we don't have an exact word to mean what they were saying. I find Bible studies fascinating because you gain so much more insight into what the verses are really saying.  Anyway, back to the verse.  I heard this verse, or read this verse, and I believed Jesus' word to us.  I have never really been one to struggle with trust.  I grew up in a loving family, I had great friends growing up, and I am blessed to be able to say I was not let down by those I know and care about, often growing up.  Therefore, I trust pretty easily.  But what if you don't trust easily?  What if you look at that verse and say there is no way we could perform the works Jesus did, Jesus was God, of course, He performed miracles.  Also, the apostles were right there with Him for 3 years during His ministry; of course, they could do miracles too.  We can all usually agree that Jesus did miracles when He walked the earth, and we can also usually agree that the apostles were sent out and they performed miracles, too.  Where we run into trouble is trying to believe we could do signs and wonders in the world today.  Who are we?  We are not holy enough, we are not worthy of that power and authority.  I agree with both of those statements, and yet Jesus still says we will do the works that He did and even greater works than He did. How is this possible?It is possible through the Holy Spirit.  Did you ever realize or notice that there is not a single miracle recorded in the Gospels before Jesus was baptized?  Jesus was fully human and fully God the entire time He walked the earth.  There was nothing stopping Jesus from performing miracles during the first 30 years of His life.  However, He chose to wait until after He was baptized and received the Holy Spirit to start performing miracles.  This is something I recently found out and found fascinating.  It was not a surprise to me that Jesus did miracles in the Bible; He is God after all.  What I didn't know is that Jesus didn't use his divinity to perform miracles.  He used the Holy Spirit, working through Him, to perform the miracles.  He chose to put his divinity aside and act from his human nature, with the help of the Holy Spirit, because it would be greater glory for God.  St. Lawrence of Brindisi explains it like this:"Christ came into the world to do battle against Satan, to do away with idolatry, and to turn the world to faith and piety and the worship of the true God.  He could have accomplished this by using the weapons of his might and coming as he will come to judge, in glory and majesty… But in order that his victory might be the more glorious, he willed to fight Satan in our weak flesh. It is as if an unarmed man, right hand bound, were to fight with his left hand alone against a powerful enemy; if he emerged victorious, his victory would be regarded as all the more glorious. So Christ conquered Satan with the right hand of his divinity bound, and using against him only the left hand of his weak humanity.”Is this new to you, too?  Did you know that God performed these miracles and defeated satan without using his divinity?  He relied on the power of the Holy Spirit working through Him.  Do you know why this changes everything?  It changes everything because Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit to dwell within us as well.  If you are baptized, then you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you.  If you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you, then you have the power to defeat Satan and to perform works like Jesus did.  Another one of my favorite verses is Romans 8:11: “ The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you…” I wish we all knew how much power we actually have inside our frail human bodies.This verse can be scary to many people.  Wait, if I can perform works like Jesus did, does that mean I have to travel all over the world and be a missionary like the disciples were?  No, you don't have to travel anywhere if you don't feel called to do that.  What they talked about in my class is ministering to your sphere of influence.  You can start small.  Be an example to your family, your friends, and your coworkers.  Let's read the verse again, “Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.”If you were able to believe and adopt this verse as your own personal truth, how much greater would your life be?  How great would it be to do works like Jesus did?  How great would it be to be able to heal a loved one?  Did you know there are people doing this every day?  Did you know there are lots of people who have read this verse, decided to believe it, and are now living out a supernatural lifestyle with the power of the Holy Spirit?  The last line of the verse says, “If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.”  How awesome a promise is that?  God has so much more for us, and we aren't asking for it.  We aren't going to God to ask Him what He has for us.  Why are we choosing to live a normal life when God is offering us a supernatural one of signs and wonders?  You might be thinking, That is great for you, Catherine.  I am glad you believe this verse and you want that life, but I am happy with mine as is.  If this is what you are thinking I challenge you over this next week or so to bring this to prayer.  I challenge you to be brave enough to just talk to God about it.  Tell Him how you are feeling about this verse and ask Him if He has anything to say to you about it.  When we do signs and wonders, we build up people's faith.  Don't you think this world needs some faith-building right now?  Look at the day of Pentecost, 3,000 were baptized on that day.  I know this verse can be scary.  I know the thought of us healing or performing miracles is strange to most of us.  I know it is way outside of our comfort zone.  I also know God is calling us all to it.  I also know that this world really needs people who are willing to step outside their comfort zone.  God needs people who will step out in faith, knowing they have the Holy Spirit living inside of them and that He will guide them.  If this verse is something that you struggle with, write it down and look at it often over the next month.  Bring it to God and ask Him to show you how this applies to your life.  Ask God what He wants you to do with this verse?  Be brave, be bold. If you ask the Holy Spirit for help, He will help you.  Just start small.  Step out in faith and ask a loved one if they want you to pray for them.  If you spend time with God, He will guide this journey for you.  He will lead you to where you need to go.  We just have to be brave enough to say three small words, “Use me, Lord.”  Can you be brave enough to say those words?  Can we be Christ's hands and feet here on earth?  Remember, we have a good good Father.  He is going to ease you into this lifestyle.  He is going to meet you where you are at and build your faith along the way.  Trust Him and give Him permission to work in your life, give Him permission to use you, and He will.  Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, we ask you to send your angels to prepare the way for everyone listening to hear this message today.  We pray you give us the courage to believe this verse and to step out in faith, knowing you have given us the power of the Holy Spirit to help us do your work here on earth.  Lord, the world needs you more than ever, and if we can bring you to others, please show us how.  Show us what you want each of us to do.  Reveal to us what this verse means for each one of us in our individual lives.  We love you, Lord. You are incredible.  We are so grateful you gave us the Holy Spirit.  Lord, you are the almighty one, you are the king of kings and the Lord of Lords.  You are the light of the world.  We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.  I look forward to spending time with you again tomorrow.  Remember Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I.  Have a blessed weekend!Today's Word from the Lord was received in May 2025 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group.

Israel doesn't know what to do or where to go, and so she complains! She is stuck and is hopeless! God tells her to be still. There is something greater than Solomon and Jonah here.

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 395The Saint of the day is Saint Lawrence of BrindisiSaint Lawrence of Brindisi’s Story At first glance, perhaps the most remarkable quality of Lawrence of Brindisi is his outstanding gift of languages. In addition to a thorough knowledge of his native Italian, he had complete reading and speaking ability in Latin, Hebrew, Greek, German, Bohemian, Spanish, and French. Lawrence was born on July 22, 1559, and died exactly 60 years later on his birthday in 1619. His parents William and Elizabeth Russo gave him the name of Julius Caesar, Caesare in Italian. After the early death of his parents, he was educated by his uncle at the College of St. Mark in Venice. When he was just 16, he entered the Capuchin Franciscan Order in Venice and received the name of Lawrence. He completed his studies of philosophy and theology at the University of Padua and was ordained a priest at 23. With his facility for languages Lawrence was able to study the Bible in its original texts. At the request of Pope Clement VIII, he spent much time preaching to the Jews in Italy. So excellent was his knowledge of Hebrew, the rabbis felt sure he was a Jew who had become a Christian. Lawrence's sensitivity to the needs of people—a character trait perhaps unexpected in such a talented scholar—began to surface. He was elected major superior of the Capuchin Franciscan province of Tuscany at the age of 31. He had the combination of brilliance, human compassion, and administrative skill needed to carry out his duties. In rapid succession he was promoted by his fellow Capuchins and was elected minister general of the Capuchins in 1602. In this position he was responsible for great growth and geographical expansion of the Order. Lawrence was appointed papal emissary and peacemaker, a job which took him to a number of foreign countries. An effort to achieve peace in his native kingdom of Naples took him on a journey to Lisbon to visit the king of Spain. Serious illness in Lisbon took his life in 1619. In 1956, the Capuchins completed a 15-volume edition of Lawrence’s writings. Eleven of these 15 contain his sermons, each of which relies chiefly on scriptural quotations to illustrate his teaching. Reflection His constant devotion to Scripture, coupled with great sensitivity to the needs of people, present a lifestyle which appeals to Christians today. Lawrence had a balance in his life that blended self-discipline with a keen appreciation for the needs of those whom he was called to serve.

The St. Paul Center's daily scripture reflections from the Mass for Monday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time by Dr. Jeffrey Morrow. Ordinary Weekday/ Lawrence of Brindisi, Priest, Religious, Doctor First Reading: Exodus 14: 5-18 Responsorial Psalm: Exodus 15: 1bc-2, 3-4, 5-6 Alleluia: Psalms 95: 8 Gospel: Matthew 12: 38-42   Learn more about the Mass at www.stpaulcenter.com

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Matthew 12:38-42 - Some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Jesus, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from You." He said to them in reply, "An evil and unfaithful generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. Just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. At the judgment, the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and there is something greater than Jonah here. At the judgment the queen of the south will arise with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and there is something greater than Solomon here."
