On the show this time it's Palestinian-Jordanian band 47SOUL. 47SOUL is named for the year 1947, which was the year before the Palestinian Nakba and the last year people could move freely from place to place in Bilad Al-Sham, or The Levant. The band fuses a traditional Arabic dance form - Dabke - with electronic hip hop, rock, reggae, and reggaeton to create what is known as Shamstep. This is refugee art, this is anti-border music. The band often says - “Every land is a holy land, seeking recognition.” Recorded 09/23/2019.

Author and scholar Chad Bird joins our podcast again, this time to discuss one of his newer books, Limping with God: Jacob & the Old Testament Guide to Messy Discipleship. This book guides us through the stories of the Patriarch Jacob, a rare biblical account which documents a life from in utero until death. His multi-faceted and sometimes frustrating personality gives us a mirror in which we can see ourselves: lying and fighting to get ahead, taking advantage instead of showing mercy, looking out for ourselves while God looks for us. Be encouraged by the fact that God specializes in saving sinners and calling highly-imperfect people (like Jacob) to be His disciples. Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome” (Gen. 32:28).https://www.1517.org/https://www.tiktok.com/discover/chad-bird-1517https://www.1517.org/podcasts/40-minutes-in-the-old-testament Bookshttps://shop.1517.org/collections/books/chad-birdhttps://a.co/d/2P25n1gHebron is considered one of the oldest cities in the Levant. According to the Bible, Abraham settled in Hebron and bought the Cave of the Patriarchs as a burial place for his wife Sarah. Biblical tradition holds that the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, along with their wives Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah, were buried in the cave. Hebron is also recognized in the Bible as the place where David was anointed king ofIsrael. The attached photos were taken on our Sept. 2023 Homesick for Israel Tour. The tel at Hebron displays an ancient home, city walls, and a street which are all about 4500 years old. That is approximately the same age as the Pyramids of Giza!https://www.bibleplaces.com/hebron/
How do we build the world we are longing for in the here and now? This is the question that orients the work of my friend, Sól Gonzalez. Sol is an intuitive coach who understands their work with others as the act of holding and mirroring. Their bio is included here at the end. But right now I want to tell you that I have learned and grown a lot through my relationship with Sól. While our friendship is fun, loving and personal. They also hold an archetypal energy. A way of being and sensing in the world that can feel quite different than how I go about the same effort. There is something rich and revelatory when I meet Sól at this juncture. You will appreciate this conversation. We cover lots of grounds. Some of Sól's story. Their approach to coaching. Their commitment to justice and how they contend with the intensity of living in a world that includes horrors such as what is happening in Gaza. While remaining connected to the good, the true and the beautiful. Definitely let me know what you take from this conversation.

They are a Certified Healing, Justice and Liberation life coach, culture worker, anti-oppression organizational consultant, and lifelong grief and love apprentice. They believe it is imperative to be building the world we are longing for in the here and now, in our relationships, “for our survival's sake”. That the differing collective crises we are living through, if midwived with intention, have the capacity to bring us towards the liberatory futures our descendents deserve. Sól is an aspiring abolitionist, a steadfast lover of possibility, and a student of the land. They relate to life, grief, love and justice with reverence, creativity and devotion.

Jeopolitik üzerine yazdığım yazının hemen arkasından, tesâdüf olarak memleketimizin parlak beyinlerinden birisi olan Cemil Şinâsi Türün'ün ekonomi gazetecisi Erkan Öz ile yaptığı bir YouTube sohbetini seyrettim. Benim merâmımı çerçeveleyen, onunla pek çok yerde örtüşen ve çok hoş sembolik kavramlaştırmalarla yüklü bir sohbetti bu. Son Akıl Odası programında da, tabiî ki Cemil Bey'in onayını alarak ve kendisini kaynak göstererek bu yaklaşımı kullandım. Cemil Bey, jeopolitik gelişmeleri, herkesin bildiği bir çocuk oyununa, “Taş, Makas ve Kağıt” oyununa benzetiyor. Taş, enerji yatırımcılarını, kâğıt finansal sermâyeyi makas ise askerî ve istihbârî yapıları sembolize ediyor. Kâğıt Rothschild, Taş Rockefeller âilelerine dayanıyor. Makas ise Pentagon, CIA ve MI6 gibi yapıları temsil ediyor. Bunların arasında, bir gerilimin ortaya çıkmış olduğunu ve bu gerilimlerin çok ciddî jeopolitik neticeleri olduğunu dile getiriyor Cemil Bey. Bir bakıma, iç içe geçmişliklerini de atlamadan söyleyelim; bir para-enerji kavgası bu. Sâdece ABD'de değil, diğer devletlerde de, dış politika çıktılarından iç bölünmelere kadar bu kavgaların izlerini bulabiliyoruz. Meselâ Ukrayna-Rusya savaşı Taşçı Putin ile Kâğıtçı Zelenski'yi karşı karşıya getiriyordu. Almanya'da Taşçıların adamları olan ve Brandt Doktrinine yaslanan Merkel ve Schröder ekolü sonrası ortaya çıkan ve ABD'deki Kâğıtçıların temsilcisi olan Biden iktidârının desteklediği Scholtz ve ekibi, Almanya ve Rusya'nın târihsel enerji dostluğunu berhavâ etmişti. Kuzey Akımı'nın fiziken tahrip edilmesi de bunu teyid ediyordu. Hâsılı bugünkü AB, Makasçıları da devreye sokan ABD- Birleşik Krallık ikilisinin neredeyse tam güdümüne girdi. Polonya ve boylarından büyük işlere soyunan Baltık Cumhûriyetleri, zaman zaman yalpalasa da Fransa bu dizilimdeki yerini aldı. Arada çatlak sesler çıkaran ve Rusya yanlısı gibi profil veren Macaristan, Slovakya'daki bugünün iktidârı vb, Taşçılarla iş tutuyor gibi anlaşılabilir. Şablonu İsrâil-Filistin savaşına da tatbik etmek mümkün görünüyor. Çok açık ki, İsrâil'i Levant ve Mezopotomya'da büyütmek isteyen bir güç var. Her ne kadar Biden, ilk zamanlarında İsrâil'e mırın kırın etmiş olsa da, bugün ABD'nin tekmil gücüyle İsrâil'i mutlak destekliyor. Kâğıtçıların işi bu. Buna ayrıca PKK'nın da dâhil olduğunu bilmek lâzım. Taşçıların adamı Putin mümkün mertebe buna dâhil olmaktan çekindi. Sûriye'de işbirliği yaptığı İran'ı da ortada bıraktı. İran ise, uzantılarını off side'a düşürerek savaşa dâhil olmayacağını belirtti. (Bundan sonra Hizbullah vd. İran uzantılı güçlerin hâli bir merak konusu olarak kalıyor). Muhtemelen, bunu ABD ve genel olarak Batı karşısında bir koz olarak kullanmayı düşünüyorlar. İran arkasını Çin'e vermiş durumda. Bunu ABD ve İsrâil'e karşı cephesini tahkim etmek için bir kullanılacağını düşündük. Hâlbuki, tam aksine, bunu Kâğıtçı Batı ile barış sağlamak için yaptığı anlaşılıyor. Sebebi Çin ve ABD'nin de de bu yolda olması. Yâni, içine Çin ve ABD'yi de alan daha büyük bir rüzgâr yakalayıp durumunu kurtarmak ve bloklanmış fonlarına kavuşmanın derdinde. Yâni, İran, Çin üzerinden Kağıtçı Batı ile anlaşmanın derdinde. Ne Gazze'yi ne de Sûriye'yi umuruna koyduğu yok. Körfez-İran yumuşaması da bunun provasıydı. Unutmayalım ki, İran, İsrâil ile anlaşmış bir Körfez ile barışma yoluna gitti. Kâğıtçı Batı da buna sıcak bakıyor. Nitekim Biden'ın çıkış yaptığı günlerde İran'a sempati ile yaklaşması da bunun göstergesi sayılabilir. İran eğer diretmiş olsaydı parçalanmasına gide büyük bir savaş onu bekliyordu. Kendi açısından akıllılık etmiş oldu.
If you call the swath of land east of the Mediterranean Sea the Levant instead of Israel and Palestine, you can see the recent conflicts in the region with a new perspective. The part of the Levant that is now Israel was settled by Jewish refugees from Europe who defeated Arab Muslims in the region that had defeated the Roman Byzantines who had defeated the Judeans who had defeated….I think you get the idea. In this commentary we look at the Israeli/Hamas war from a different perspective.
Dès la fin du XIXème siècle, des figures féminines engagées dans la lutte pour le droit des femmes ont émergé au Moyen-Orient. Une dynamique particulièrement forte au Levant, de l'Irak à l'Égypte, du Liban à la Palestine. À ces pionnières, musulmanes ou chrétiennes, ont succédé une nouvelle génération de féministes levantines dont René Otayek, professeur à Sciences-Po Bordeaux, dresse le portrait dans un livre publié aux éditions Non-Lieu (Paris) et l'Orient des Livres (Beyrouth).
La guerre entre Israël et le Hamas replace la Méditerranée orientale au cœur de l'actualité mondiale. Laquelle actualité ne s'était jamais vraiment éloignée de la région : guerre d'Ukraine et conséquences au Levant, tensions entre la Turquie et la Grèce autour de l'île de Chypre, guerre en Syrie, désengagement progressif des États-Unis. La décision de Washington de faire stationner des bâtiments et d'envoyer un sous-marin nucléaire, en Méditerranée orientale dans la foulée de l'attaque du Hamas, la riposte d'Israël, et la forte tension à la frontière israélo-libanaise marque un retour certain des États-Unis dans la région.Mais la réponse d'Israël à Gaza et le soutien de Washington et d'un certain nombre de pays occidentaux à Tel Aviv accroissent la colère et éloignent de plus en plus de pays du Proche-Orient, de l'Occident. Regard sur des recompositions géopolitiques en pleine accélération. Invités Dorothée Schmid, chercheuse à l'IFRI. Responsable du programme Turquie contemporaine et Moyen-Orient L'amiral Pascal Ausseur, directeur général de la FMES, Fondation Méditerranéenne d'Études Stratégiques Igor Delanoe, directeur adjoint de l'Observatoire franco-russe de Moscou.

Given the current events taking place in the Middle East it is important to assess the Levant—the land-bridge linking three continents (Europe, Asia, and Africa). The Levant set the stage for some of the principal events in history, is the source of two great monotheistic religions, and supplied the foundations for a third. Thus, it is rightly described as the crossroads of world history. Levant, essentially the western rim of the Fertile Crescent, boasts Jerusalem as its epicenter. Jews, Christians and Muslims all hold their heritage in this region; however, the geographic significance is not held to be theologically significant to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. In this teaching edition of the Hank Unplugged podcast, Hank Hanegraaff investigates the historical significance of the Levant to Judaism, Christianity and Islam in order to better understand the events unfolding in the Middle East and ensure that Christians approach the unfolding events with a proper sense of biblical and historical literacy.

« Au Levant, on vit en dehors de la réalité de la vie. Pour aimer le Levant il faut partir un peu. » Sonia est originaire de Strasbourg. A la fin des années 40, début des années 50, ses parents, à la recherche d'un pied à terre dans le sud, arpentent la côte d'azur, Menton, St Tropez, Juan les Pins… pour s'ancrer finalement sur l'île du Levant. Sonia découvre l'île à l'âge de 6 ans en 1953, qui devient le lieu de ses vacances estivales avec ses frère et sœur, cousins, cousines. Un endroit où toute la famille se retrouve. Sonia vit désormais sur l'île à l'année depuis 1998, ce qui représente, si on calcule bien, près de 70 ans de relation plus ou moins constante avec Le Levant. Avec Sonia on a parlé de mer, de baignade, de convivialité, de rapport au corps, de vulnérabilité, de vieillesse, et de transmission.

In episode five of our new series on the First Crusade, we rejoin the crusaders for the last time as they reach their final goal, the holy city of Jerusalem Of all the holy places venerated by medieval Christians, there was nowhere quite as sacred as Jerusalem: the supposed location of Jesus Christ's burial, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension. It would be the jewel in the crown of Christendom – but first they had to capture it. In this fifth and final episode of our latest HistoryExtra podcast series, we'll be charting the last leg of the First Crusade, as the crusaders race down the Levant towards their final goal, which they hoped would mark the conclusion of their arduous mission.

In late AD 1097, a weary and wartorn band of crusaders arrived at the imposing walls of Antioch: a key strategic location on the long journey down the Levant. In the shadow of the city's tall towers, the crusaders plotted their next move. Morale was at an all-time low, but the stakes were high – a Turkish army was on its way. In this fourth episode of our latest HistoryExtra podcast series, we'll be witnessing the moment the crusaders faced their biggest trial yet. Speaking to a host of expert historians, we'll be considering top crusader tactics and revealing how the crusader army found the motivation to carry on in an unfamiliar and imposing land.

Alyson and Breht discuss the ongoing national liberation struggle in Palestine. Together, they discuss the incredible shift in public opinion on Israel and Palestine, the internal and external contradictions culminating in unison for Israel, the discussion about whether or not what Israel is doing is technically a genocide (it absolutely is), international law, Frantz Fanon on the psychology of national liberation, the prospects of a broader regional war, the possibilities of Turkish or Iranian engagement, the history and core elements of Zionism, the analytical importance of the settler colonial and decolonization frameworks, the disgusting role that Biden and the Democratic Party are playing in manufacturing consent for Israel's civilian mass murder campaign, the "lesser of two genocider" arguments being trotted out by liberals, how Hamas is basically an orphan army of men who have had their families killed by Israel in previous assaults, why we should reject the "terrorist" framing of the western ruling elites, what the palestinian resistance has managed to accomplish, and what might emerge from the Ruins of Gaza when all is said and done...

Pour son premier roman graphique, Rosalie Stroesser nous offre une œuvre intime et sensible sur le pays du Soleil Levant. Un récit d'apprentissage tout en contrastes, imaginé et dessiné en noir et blanc, sur la culture et la société japonaise. À la page 268 de ce roman graphique de quelque 300 pages, une petite phrase se glisse au milieu d'une scène de baignade dans l'océan : « Japon, tu m'as mis dans tous mes états ».Cette phrase, c'est celle de la narratrice, qui est aussi l'autrice de ce carnet de voyages tout en noir et blanc, mais qui traduit toute une palette d'émotions et de sentiments, du plus diffus au plus fort. Et c'est sans doute la phrase qui traduit le mieux son état d'esprit ambivalent, envers un pays qui ne laisse personne indifférent.Entre fascination et rejet, Rosalie Stroesser raconte sa découverte de la culture et de la société japonaises, à la campagne ou à la ville. Un récit intime rythmé par les mythes nippons, qui est aussi son premier album. « Shiki, 4 saisons au Japon » est paru aux éditions Rivages, dans la collection Virages Graphiques.Rosalie Stroesser est l'invitée de VMDN.Reportage : Le Japon, c'est aussi la décoration et les aménagements intérieurs, follement élégants. Les lignes épurées, les cloisons de bois et de papier, une sobriété qui confine au dépouillement et invite à la sérénité. Mais comment, au quotidien, dans leurs habitations, les Japonais vivent-ils une telle esthétique ? Bruno Duval nous offre une visite guidée à Tokyo.

The horrendous attack on Israel on October 7 by Hamas has seen the Levant plunge into crisis once more and the world hold its breath. Where did Israeli intelligence go wrong and how did Hamas keep such a large operation under wraps? How and why do intelligence failures occur, and why does it seem that intelligence organisations keep repeating these mistakes? And will David and Michelle managed to get through this episode without offending one side or the other? Hard times require hard conversations and this is one of those times.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In the call to crusade that ignited the idea of holy war in the minds of the western European populace, Pope Urban II painted a picture of evil “infidels” torturing and massacring the Christians of the Holy Land. However, when the armed pilgrims of the First Crusade crossed over into Asia Minor, the situation was not as they had been led to believe – not least because they found a Christian population living alongside their supposed mortal enemies. Speaking to a range of expert historians in this third episode of our latest HistoryExtra podcast series, we follow the crusaders from hardship to hardship, as they face their first conflict and struggle across Asia Minor en route to the Levant.

Vestida de blanco, la niñita de seis años de edad cantó en el culto religioso de la Iglesia Bautista en Filadelfia, Pensilvania. Era el año 1903. Con ese sencillo principio nació una cantante de voz extraordinaria, que conmovió al mundo. Cantó en los mejores teatros de Europa en la década de 1920. Cantó para varios presidentes en la Casa Blanca de Washington, Estados Unidos. Fue la primera de su raza en cantar en la Casa de la Ópera Metropolitana de Nueva York. Y llenó estadios en todo el mundo, armonizando el espíritu de millones de personas con su hermosa voz. En abril de 1993, a los noventa y siete años de edad, dio su último canto. Fue un suspiro, el suspiro que la trasladó a la eternidad. ¿Quién era esa extraordinaria mujer con una voz tan excepcional? Era Marian Anderson, la muy notable cantante negra de fama mundial. Entre los muchos comentarios que se hicieron de ella, tal vez el más recordado sea el de Arturo Toscanini, que dijo: «La suya es una voz que se escucha una vez cada cien años.» Pero el comentario más significativo fue el siguiente: «Nunca levantó la voz sino para cantar.» No puede haber elogio más grande que el decir de alguien que nunca usó la voz sino para elevar el ánimo de los demás, para infundir aliento, para consolar al triste. Entre las causas grandes de esta vida, entre los móviles que mueven al bien, está el de levantar el espíritu del que se siente abandonado. Al otro extremo está el que sólo habla para maldecir; el que nunca tiene una palabra de consuelo; el que sólo arroja amargura, desagrado, tormento y dolor; el que nunca sonríe, nunca alaba, nunca conforta, nunca alienta. Jesucristo dijo en cierta ocasión: «De la abundancia del corazón habla la boca» (Mateo 12:34). Marian Anderson cantaba porque todo su corazón era un canto. De su interior salía el canto que animó a medio mundo a lo largo de casi un siglo entero. Su canto era su alma, y su alma era su canto. Adaptando las palabras de Cristo, podríamos decir: «Del contenido del alma se expresa la voz.» Es decir, lo que tenemos en el corazón determina tanto las palabras que decimos como el tono de voz con que las emitimos. ¿Qué podemos hacer para cambiar nuestras palabras negativas en palabras positivas? Cambiar el contenido de nuestro corazón. A eso se debe que digamos con tanta insistencia que cuando Cristo mora en nuestro corazón, tenemos paz y gozo. Y las palabras que decimos y la actitud que tenemos reflejan ese gozo. Él quiere cambiar nuestra tristeza en paz. Démosle entrada hoy mismo. De hacerlo así, nuestra vida será, en su totalidad, una vida nueva. Dejémoslo entrar. Hermano PabloUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net

Hamas' horrific and stunning attack in Israel last week has upended the status quo in the region. With Israel now retaliating in Gaza, bombing an already desperate populace in the Gaza strip, leaving hundreds of thousands of people homeless there, and with thousands dead and injured on both sides, the war has thrown the Levant into crisis and threatens to spillover into a wider conflict in the Middle East. The deal that was reportedly close to completion between Saudi Arabia and Israel, brokered by the United States, is now all but dead. Israel appears poised for a ground invasion that may leave even more dead and displaced. The internet, meanwhile, is dangerously divided and chronically misinformed, with the general discourse lacking nuance and with the ignorant empowered by a short-sighted view of the centuries-old conflict for supremacy in the region with peace perpetually elusive. The 966 hosts discuss the situation, some of the meaning for Saudi Arabia and the region, and what might happen next.After that, the hosts discuss an interesting quote from Karim Benzema on his participation in the Saudi Pro League. Karim Benzema joined Al Ittihad this summer because he always wanted to live in Saudi Arabia and "help Saudi football grow."The hosts finish the episode as always with Yallah! 6 top storylines to get you up to speed headed into the weekend.
« Ici le corps devient harmonieux parce qu'il n'est pas habillé. On ne se regarde plus, on ne voit plus nos défauts. On a la totalité du corps donc plus rien à découvrir, ça change le regard. »Originaire de Paris, Catherine découvre le Levant toute jeune en vacances à l'âge de 8 ans avec ses parents au début des années 60. En dehors de quelques interruptions dans son adolescence puis à l'arrivée rapprochée de ses 6 enfants, l'île a toujours fait partie de sa vie, comme le lieu de ses vacances, d'un ressourcement et d'un engagement qu'elle a su transmettre à ses enfants. Elle vit désormais à Rouen, avec un pied dans le var également où ils ont, avec son mari, une maison depuis 12 ans, et ont fait l'acquisition il y a 4 ans d'un terrain au Levant non constructible, où ils vivent « à la levantine ». Avec Catherine, on a parlé de corps harmonieux, de changement de regard, de réservoir d'énergie, de transmission et de résilience.L'article complet et toutes les notes et références citées dans l'épisode sont à retrouver sur https://fragileporquerolles.com/catherine-masselin/

Assyrian hordes eradicate Aram and swarm across the Levant, consuming almost all of Israel and its eight tribes. While most Israelites are led off to assimilation or death, some—like the ancestors of Anna the Prophetess—escape south to the Kingdom of Judah. In Judah, Ahaz escalates his pro-Assyrian religious reforms, effectively banning Yahwism and erecting altars to Baal in the streets of Jerusalem. Ian and Caleb discuss the mythology of the “ten lost tribes,” and Ian engages with emails and DMs from listeners on the order of the biblical cannon.
Robert est né en 1939. Bien qu'originaire de Marseille où il passe sa première année, il découvre l'île très jeune à l'âge de 6 ans et va y passer la plus grande partie de sa vie. La famille de Robert est installée sur l'île du Levant depuis 4 générations. Ses parents, sa femme, Marie-Jacqueline, et lui-même, ses enfants et ses petits-enfants. Sa famille y a vécu et travaillé en tant que commerçants pour des services aussi variés qu'essentiels. Son père, sous l'impulsion de sa sœur, devient transporteur terrestre de passagers et de marchandises sur l'île à partir de 1946. Puis avec sa famille, ils prennent la tête de différents commerces, les épiceries du village et du port et la boulangerie notamment. Avec Robert, on a parlé de simplicité, de rusticité, de dévouement, d'institut catholique, de famille, de la zone militaire, de groupe électrogène et de chambre froide, de camping, de naturisme, de Marceline Henry à Port-Cros et de liberté.

Meditación del día 21 de septiembre de 2023 Palabra de Vida
Meditación del Evangelio según San Mateo 9, 9-13 por el biblista P. Norberto Padilla, misionero claretiano. 21/sept/2023, Fiesta de San Mateo, apóstol y evangelista. Sígueme. El se levantó y lo siguió. Canción: Te seguiré (2010), de Alejandro Labajos, SJ ---------- Lectura del santo evangelio según san Mateo 9, 9-13 En aquel tiempo, vio Jesús a un hombre llamado Mateo, sentado al mostrador de los impuestos, y le dijo: "Sígueme." Él se levantó y lo siguió. Y, estando en la mesa en casa de Mateo, muchos publicanos y pecadores, que habían acudido, se sentaron con Jesús y sus discípulos. Los fariseos, al verlo, preguntaron a los discípulos: "¿Cómo es que su maestro come con publicanos y pecadores?" Jesús lo oyó y dijo: "No tienen necesidad de médico los sanos, sino los enfermos. Vayan a aprender lo que significa "misericordia quiero y no sacrificios": que no he venido a llamar a los justos, sino a los pecadores." Palabra del Señor... Gloria a ti, Señor Jesús #SoyClaretiano #Evangelio #MisionerosClaretianos #CMFAntillas Música de introducción: Lámpara Es Tu Palabra, de Ain Karem

A retired military intelligence officer, he commissioned into the military intelligence branch of the US Army through the ROTC program at Mercer University and claims Alabama as his home state. After completing a branch detail to the infantry in the 101st Airborne Division, he subsequently served as an intelligence officer in a variety of units, including the 2nd Infantry Division, the 5th Special Forces Group, the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, and the Joint Special Operations Command. His most recent operational assignment was at Fort Shafter, Hawaii, where he served as the Chief of Intelligence – Plans and Exercises and then Chief of Intelligence – Operations on the G2 staff of US Army Pacific.In addition to his role as MWI Deputy Director, he teaches the Comparative Defense Policy course. During a previous tour at West Point, he was the course director for MX400, the superintendent's capstone course on officership, for two years. He also instructed international relations, American politics, comparative politics, conflict and negotiation, and intelligence and national policy for three years in West Point's renowned Department of Social Sciences.He earned his doctorate in business administration through Temple University.

[Lucas 4, 38-44] En aquel tiempo, al salir Jesús de la sinagoga, entró en la casa de Simón. La suegra de Simón estaba con fiebre muy alta y le rogaron por ella. Él, inclinándose sobre ella, increpó a la fiebre, y se le pasó; ella, levantándose enseguida, se puso a servirles. Al ponerse el sol, todos cuantos tenían enfermos con diversas dolencias se los llevaban, y él, imponiendo las manos sobre cada uno, los iba curando. De muchos de ellos salían también demonios, que gritaban y decían: «Tú eres el Hijo de Dios». Los increpaba y no les dejaba hablar, porque sabían que él era el Mesías. Al hacerse de día, salió y se fue a un lugar desierto. La gente lo andaba buscando y, llegando donde estaba, intentaban retenerlo para que no se separara de ellos. Pero él les dijo: «Es necesario que proclame el reino de Dios también a las otras ciudades, pues para esto he sido enviado». Y predicaba en las sinagogas de Judea. ________________ ¿Conoces nuestra Oración Online? Más información en: https://sercreyente.com/oracion ¿Quieres recibir cada día el Evangelio en tu whatsapp?

1) Buena Noticia: Jesús ha venido a traer buena noticia, porque la vida misma es una noticia hermosa y el vivir es lo más hermoso. Claro que hay dificultades y claro que lo que viene a enseñar Jesús es que hasta de lo más duro y difícil se puede salir adelante. Que aunque te maten podrás resucitar y aunque te tiren podrás resurgir. Viene a recordarnos que muchos se olvidan del mensaje y se quedan con el mensajero. Nos viene a recordar que los humanos nos olvidamos de mirar al cielo por detenernos en la tierra, y que hasta los que nos creemos los más religiosos terminamos ignorando al mismo Dios. La buena noticia es que hay siempre una oportunidad y que sos vos el que tiene que dársela. 2) Libertad: Ser libre no significa hacer lo que quiera, sino más bien es hacer lo que debo. Pero sumado a que ser libre significa tener el mayor poder que una persona puede tener, “el elegir”. Esto permite que tu vida tenga un ruedo, paso a paso y lleva a comprender que tu vida tiene un sentido. Jesús vino a recordar que el hombre no puede estar atado a otro hombre, y mucho menos a una institución o a un programa, porque el mismo Dios vino a recordarte que incluso Él respeta tu libertad. La misma religión no te vino a atar, sino que te vino a liberar. No asumas cosas que te esclavizan y no generes cosas en tu vida que esclavicen a otros. El que es libre ama y quien ama es libre… 3) La vista: La manera de vivir la vida es viendo el todo de tu vida, no quedarte centrado en partes. Porque tu vida no comenzó hoy, hay una historia, con cosas buenas y con cosas malas. La clave es comprender que todo está atado a un mismo camino y ese camino es la felicidad, es decir, para nosotros, la santidad. Hoy reza por nosotros los curas que iniciamos un encuentro en Cura Brochero, Córdoba. Pedí para que los curas busquemos siempre la santidad y seamos hombres que busquen seguir siendo felices en el ministerio sacerdotal, buen inicio de semana. Algo bueno está por venir. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/misioneros-digitales-catlicos/support

From 1095 to 1291 CE, thousands and thousands of knights, peasants, nobles, soldiers, and more left Europe for the Holy Land around Jerusalem to take land and power away from Muslims, and into Christian hands. Pope Urban II issued a speech in 1095 calling Christian to take up arms and reclaim "Christian" lands. As incentive, he promised salvation for all who died fighting for what he said was God's will. But was it ever about God's will? Or was it about Pope Urban's will? Were the Crusades ever really about anything celestial? Or were they about man and power? Were they mostly about the Catholic Church struggling to consolidate power amongst European Christian monarchs and make sure Christian leaders knew who was really in charge? Holy War? Or power grab? Either way, the decree of Pope Urban set much of the western world on a path we are still following today nearly a full 1,000 years later. Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp tickets are ON SALE!
