43 You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy.Audistis quia dictum est : Diliges proximum tuum, et odio habebis inimicum tuum. 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you:Ego autem dico vobis : Diligite inimicos vestros, benefacite his qui oderunt vos, et orate pro persequentibus et calumniantibus vos : 45 That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust.ut sitis filii Patris vestri, qui in caelis est : qui solem suum oriri facit super bonos et malos : et pluit super justos et injustos. 46 For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the publicans this?Si enim diligitis eos qui vos diligunt, quam mercedem habebitis? nonne et publicani hoc faciunt? 47 And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? do not also the heathens this?Et si salutaveritis fratres vestros tantum, quid amplius facitis? nonne et ethnici hoc faciunt? 48 Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect.Estote ergo vos perfecti, sicut et Pater vester caelestis perfectus est. John Gualbert, a noble military knight, met the murderer of his brother, Hugh, on Good Friday. He was about to slay him, when the assassin begged his pardon for the sake of Christ crucified. Changed by God's grace, he embraced him as a brother in Christ, became a monk, and founded the Congregation of Vallombrosa, affiliated to the Order of St Benedict. He died A.D. 1073.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Pope Francis has named Dominican Father Steven Maekawa, a former active duty military chaplain, as the next bishop of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Vatican announced the appointment on July 11. Maekawa will take on the role of leading a diocese that spans more than 400,000 square miles, the largest diocese in the United States geographically. The 55-year-old Dominican friar has been based in Alaska since 2016, serving as the pastor of Holy Family Old Cathedral in Anchorage. Maekawa was awarded a special medal in active duty for his work as a military chaplain in the U.S. Navy Reserve, serving a tour of duty with ground troops in Afghanistan in 2004. In Fairbanks, Maekawa will succeed Bishop Chad Zielinski, whom Pope Francis appointed as the bishop of New Ulm, Minnesota, last year. The Diocese of Fairbanks has 46 Catholic parishes, only nine of which can be reached by car. The new bishop will need to use a bush plane to reach some remote Catholic parishes, including in native Yup'ik, Cup'ik, and Inupiat communities. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254770/pope-francis-names-dominican-priest-and-former-military-chaplain-as-alaska-s-next-bishop A law to shield churches from discriminatory state regulation is officially in effect in Virginia, offering state residents what the bill's sponsor called a “spectacular win” for religious freedom in the state. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254769/new-virginia-law-offers-churches-additional-protections-against-being-shut-down A little boy who managed to get past the crowd control barrier at World Youth Day (WYD) in Rio de Janeiro in 2013 to give an emotional embrace to Pope Francis is now a seminarian preparing for the priesthood. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254774/boy-who-got-past-security-barrier-to-embrace-pope-francis-at-wyd-2013-is-now-a-seminarian Today, the Church celebrates Saint John Gualbert. Born wealthy in the tenth century and growing up in a life of frivolity, John experienced a powerful conversion when he had a vision of Christ on the Cross, leading him to forgive his brother's murderer. On a plot of land east of Florence called Vallombrosa, together with men who were equally committed to a more austere and stricter following of the Rule of St. Benedict, he founded a humble monastery devoted to contemplation and prayer and care of the poor and sick. The Vallombrosan Benedictines still exist today, mainly in the region of Tuscany and Lombardy, and number a handful of monasteries. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-john-gualbert-299

Walking with the Saints Podcast | Feast of St. John Gualbert, Patron Saint of Foresters, Park Rangers and Parks | July 12 One of the hardest experiences in life is to forgive an enemy or someone who did a big harm to us. But charity and forgiveness are refreshing to the soul and makes one closer and dearer to God. This was the experience of St. John Gualbert. John Gualbert was an Italian monk who was born in Florence, into a noble family about 985 A.D. He was raised up as a Catholic but he cared little about religion and for some time lived a frivolous life. He became a lover of the pleasures, amusements and vanities of the world and involved in several romantic intrigues. When his only brother Hugh was murdered he planned to avenge his death. His opportunity came when one Good Friday he met his brother's murderer on a narrow way. John Gualbert drew his sword, ready to kill his prey but the killer knelt on his knees, with arms outstretched as on a cross and begged for mercy and forgiveness. With this humble act, John could not execute his long-time plan. The thought of Christ on the Cross forgiving His executioners softened his heart. He instead embraced the killer and forgave him. Soon, John had a vision of Jesus on the Cross bowing to him to acknowledge the good he had done. When he entered a church after the incident, he prayed before a Crucifix and the moment of grace came upon him again. He felt that he was being called to enter a monastery. His family vehemently opposed the idea but they could not stop him. He joined the Order of St. Benedict, but after some time, he left that community to find a more solitary and strict life. Besides, he was more attracted to live in a cenobitic atmosphere, a monastic tradition centered on community life. He left the Order and formed his own monastery at Vallombrosa at the outskirts of Florence. He attracted many followers and they founded six monasteries more during his lifetime. He was a guide and adviser even for religious leaders during those difficult times for the Church and society in general. In Vallombrosa, the area surrounding the monastery was wild and deserted. He therefore encouraged his companions to plant trees instead of putting up a flower garden of varied plants. They created a park and with the fir trees and pines around, the place became more conducive to prayer and contemplation. At first, the monastery at Vallombrosa had very strict rules, and only a few Aspirants came, but a bit later John Gualbert mitigated the rules and many came to join them. As for himself, John Gualbert continued to practice more austerity and to do more penances. He became a popular model for compassion and goodness to the poor and the sick. Popes travelled to see him and praised him for the meekness and the pureness of his faith. He himself admired the teachings of the Fathers of the Church, in particular those of St. Basil the Great and St. Benedict of Nursia. Called the Holy and Knight Monk, John Gualbert died at the age of 80 in 1073. He was canonized by Pope Celestine III on October 24, 1193. His feast day is celebrated on July 12. Due to his love for planting pines and trees he was declared patron saint of foresters, park rangers and parks. Pope Pius XII named him in 1951 the patron saint of Italian Forest Corps and patron for Brazilian forests in 1957. Virtues: piety, humility, charity, forgiveness, bravery, temperance and fortitude. “Lord, through the example of St. John Gualbert give us the charity and humility to forgive our enemies and those who have harmed us.” Reflection: Am I nourishing suspicion, hostility or hatred towards someone?

Miesiąc lipiec to czas wspomnienia liturgicznego patrona leśników. Brać leśna oddaje cześć świętemu Janowi Gwalbertowi. W audycji m.in. przybliżymy sylwetkę św. Jana Gwalberta, który jest patronem leśników od 1951 roku, kiedy to pod jego opiekę ludzi lasu oddał papież Pius XII. Postać tego świętego jest przedstawiana z księgą, a niekiedy z sadzonką drzewa liściastego w dłoni. Św. Jan Gwalbert urodził się przeszło 1000 lat temu we Florencji. Był założycielem wspólnoty monastycznej benedyktynów w miejscowości Vallombrosa położonej w malowniczej Toskanii. Postępując w myśl zawołania „Módl się i pracuj", zakonni współbracia poświęcali się nie tylko modlitwie, lecz także szukaniu metod cierpliwego i wytrwałego pomnażania leśnych zasobów Apeninów, dając potomnym przykład należytego obcowania z przyrodą, w tym przede wszystkim lasem. Do usłyszenia i do zobaczenia na leśnych ścieżkach mówi Magdalena Lipiec-Jaremek.
Glauco Maria Cantarella"I castelli della preghiera"Il monachesimo nel pieno medioevo(secoli X-XII)Carocci Editorehttp://www.carocci.it/Con i contributi di:Enrico Veneziani, Umberto Longo, Nicolangelo D'Acunto, Guido Cariboni, Francesco Renzi, Giorgio MilanesiI secoli X-XII sono quelli del massimo splendore e della massima egemonia del monachesimo benedettino. Le esperienze monastiche si moltiplicano e danno origine a esperimenti di lunghissima durata. Cluniacensi, Cassinesi, Camaldolesi, Avellaniti, Vallombrosani e Cistercensi, pur animati dal comune desiderio di conciliare la fuga dal mondo con la presenza nel mondo, percorsero strade tra loro diverse. Questi monaci del pieno medioevo contribuirono al progresso della civiltà europea non solo sul piano culturale e spirituale ma pure per la loro capacità di organizzare la vita religiosa attraverso innovative sperimentazioni che arricchirono la cultura istituzionale dell'Occidente. A tale patrimonio attinsero anche i detentori del potere politico, interlocutori privilegiati di monaci inseriti nel mondo al punto che il loro rapporto con le gerarchie ecclesiastiche e con i sistemi di potere laico finì per condizionare tanto le une quanto gli altri e naturalmente ne fu condizionato. In quei secoli il monachesimo, nelle sue varie forme, fu uno dei grandi motori della civiltà occidentale: le recenti ricerche sulla vita monastica, i suoi spazi, le sue osservanze e i suoi diversi codici linguistici sono i percorsi del libro.Glauco Maria Cantarella, già professore ordinario di I fascia dell'Alma Mater Studiorum –Università degli Studi di Bologna.

Testo integrale Alberto Lumbroso è da collocare nella serie loriana ma da un altro punto di vista e in un altro campo. Si potrebbe fare una introduzione generale che servirebbe appunto a dimostrare come Loria non sia una eccezione unica, ma si tratti in gran parte di un fatto generale di cultura, che poi si è «tumefatto» nel campo della «sociologia». In questa parte appunto possono dare elementi la «Critica», la «Voce» e l'«Unità». (Ricordare per esempio «la casa dei parti» di Tomaso Sillani, la «gomma di Vallombrosa» di Filippo Carli, del quale è anche notevole l'articolo della «Perseveranza» sul prossimo ritorno trionfale della navigazione a vela; la letteratura economica dei protezionisti vecchia covata è piena di molte preziosità del genere, di cui un ricordo può rintracciarsi negli scritti del Belluzzo sulle possibili ricchezze nascoste nelle montagne italiane). Tutti questi elementi piuttosto generici del «lorianismo» potrebbero servire per «agrémenter» l'esposizione. Così si potrebbe ricordare come limite «assurdo», perché sconfina nel caso clinico (tecnicamente clinico), la candidatura del Lenzi al IV collegio di Torino, con l'«aereo cigno» e con la proposta di radere le montagne italiane, ingombranti, per trasportarne il materiale in Libia e fertilizzare così il deserto di sabbia. Il caso del Lumbroso è molto interessante, perché suo padre è era un erudito di gran marca (Giacomo Lumbroso): ma la metodologia dell'erudizione non si trasmette per generazione e neppure per il contatto intellettuale anche il più assiduo, a quanto pare. C'è da domandarsi, nel caso Lumbroso, come i suoi due ponderosi volumi sulle Origini Diplomatiche e politiche della guerra abbiano potuto essere accolti nella Collezione Gatti. Qui la responsabilità del sistema è evidente. Così per Loria e la «Riforma Sociale» e per Luzzatti e il «Corriere della Sera» (a proposito di Luzzatti ricordare il caso del «fioretto» di S. Francesco pubblicato come inedito dal «Corriere della Sera» del 1913 – mi pare –, con un commento economico spassosissimo, proprio dal Luzzatti che aveva poco prima pubblicato un'edizione dei Fioretti nella Collezione Notari; il così detto «inedito» era una variante inviata al Luzzatti dal Sabatier. Del Luzzatti famose le frasi, tra le quali «Lo sa il tonno» in un articoletto del «Corriere» che poi ha dato lo spunto al libro del Bacchelli).

By Joe Wiegand, Medora's TR 4/3/2020 Today's show will commemorate the April 3, 1883 arrival to the Badlands of Antoine-Amédée-Marie-Vincent Manca Amat de Vallombrosa, Marquis de Morès et de Montemaggiore (June 14, 1858 – June 9, 1896), commonly known as the Marquis de Morès. The theme will be "Good Neighbors," and will feature a reading of TR's April 3, 1903 speech on foreign policy in Waukesha, Wisconsin. TR uses the analogy of the good neighbor in his remarks. In the story of the neighborly relations between the Marquis de Mores and young Theodore Roosevelt there is much akin to TR's 1903 good neighbor message!

Louis Gauffier’s Vallombrosa and the Arno Valley Seen from the Paradisino is a landscape that brings together a series of often competing influences and sources: close attention to the details of nature; Neo-classicism’s mathematical description of space; ‘nature’ as it was described at the time by the poet and philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau; and, in turn, the Romantic ideal of man and nature in harmony. By bringing these disparate sources together, Gauffier produces a theatricalised landscape. The terrace in the foreground acts as a stage, beyond which the landscape is both warm and awesome, a place to wander and find one’s self, as the monk on our left indicates. The landscape unfolds in a series of layers, where men might come to recognise their democratic sensibility and their individualism.
