Dal Vangelo secondo MatteoIn quel tempo, vedendo la folla attorno a sé, Gesù ordinò di passare all'altra riva.Allora uno scriba si avvicinò e gli disse: «Maestro, ti seguirò dovunque tu vada». Gli rispose Gesù: «Le volpi hanno le loro tane e gli uccelli del cielo i loro nidi, ma il Figlio dell'uomo non ha dove posare il capo».E un altro dei suoi discepoli gli disse: «Signore, permettimi di andare prima a seppellire mio padre». Ma Gesù gli rispose: «Seguimi, e lascia che i morti seppelliscano i loro morti».Parola del SignoreCommento di Don Paolino, sacerdote della Diocesi di CuneoPodcast che fa parte dell'aggregatore Bar Abba: www.bar-abba

Dario Sorgato"Guarda dove cammini"Passi condivisi sui sentieri del possibilePrefazione di Luca Gianottiediciclo editorewww.ediciclo.itCamminare può essere un gesto d'amore. Dario lo sa. Da diversi anni ha messo a disposizione le sue capacità organizzative, la sua creatività e il suo tempo per organizzare viaggi a piedi con persone che come lui hanno disabilità sensoriali. Dario ci sente poco e ci vede peggio, come si diverte a dire, cercando di affrontare con umorismo le difficoltà della doppia disabilità. Incapace di lasciarsi fermare dai limiti fisici ha percorso i sentieri del mondo prima di fare del cammino uno strumento di inclusione sociale. In queste pagine ripercorre i passaggi che l'hanno portato a costruire una rete di relazioni e sentieri lungo tutta l'Italia, dove il cammino condiviso con chi vede poco o nulla diventa un modo per conoscere più da vicino la natura e i compagni di viaggio. In appendice, un vademecum con indicazioni utili per fare in modo che il cammino e l'accoglienza lungo i sentieri siano accessibili a persone con disabilità sensoriali. Prefazione di Luca Gianotti.Dario Sorgato, è nato nel 1978 a Sant'Angelo di Piove di Sacco (PD). A 16 anni gli viene diagnosticata una malattia degenerativa della vista e udito, la sindrome di Usher. Dopo la laurea viaggia molto ma è con il cammino di Santiago che trova il suo ritmo. Fonda l'associazione Noisy Vision per i cammini condivisi. www.noisyvision.orgIL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Il Malinteso d'origine secondo Paul Hazard, S. Blezza Picherle, giugno 2025

Dal Vangelo secondo LucaPer Elisabetta si compì il tempo del parto e diede alla luce un figlio. I vicini e i parenti udirono che il Signore aveva manifestato in lei la sua grande misericordia, e si rallegravano con lei.Otto giorni dopo vennero per circoncidere il bambino e volevano chiamarlo con il nome di suo padre, Zaccarìa. Ma sua madre intervenne: «No, si chiamerà Giovanni». Le dissero: «Non c'è nessuno della tua parentela che si chiami con questo nome».Allora domandavano con cenni a suo padre come voleva che si chiamasse. Egli chiese una tavoletta e scrisse: «Giovanni è il suo nome». Tutti furono meravigliati. All'istante si aprirono la sua bocca e la sua lingua, e parlava benedicendo Dio.Tutti i loro vicini furono presi da timore, e per tutta la regione montuosa della Giudea si discorreva di tutte queste cose. Tutti coloro che le udivano, le custodivano in cuor loro, dicendo: «Che sarà mai questo bambino?». E davvero la mano del Signore era con lui.Il bambino cresceva e si fortificava nello spirito. Visse in regioni deserte fino al giorno della sua manifestazione a Israele.
