AQUELLA PEREGRINA!
Legado profundo.
Original
Aquí y ahora.
Presencia desborda
Y mana en nosotros.
¡ Acto Creador! Hoy!
Mary hoy!
Nosotros hoy!
Brillante quietud.
Nada la rompe.
Su ser en el SER
invita y contagia.
Como ella en el Circulo!
Plenitud!
Totalidad Trinitaria.
Atrae su ¨fuente¨
Sitúa nuestros vacíos,
intentos, búsquedas y frustraciones.
Dar el paso, retroceder,
volcarnos para reorientar.
Vaciar para repletar.
Soltar sin herirnos!
Libertad plena!!!
Un fondo nos une…
nada afecta al tiempo…
brotamos de Dios…
Vivir la experiencia,
Sentirnos ¨¨siendo¨¨
en el SER de Dios.
Transparencia!
Diafanidad!
Irradiación!
Soltar nos abre a sus mismos DESEOS.
Tríada en tres tiempos…
ACOGER
ACALLAR
IRRADIAR
Viviendo el SOY de Jesús.
Don inacabado…
en búsqueda siempre,
don frágil, amado y elegido.
Lo nuevo se gesta en lo roto y lo frágil.
Un kairos sinodal nos va envolviendo.
Invita, interpela, es la hora! Hoy! Siempre…
THAT PILGRIM!
A profound legacy.

Here and now.
Presence overflows
flows through us.
A Creative Act! Today!
Mary today!
Us today!
Brilliant stillness.
Nothing breaks it.
Her being in the BEING
is inviting and contagious.
Like her in the Circle!
Fullness!
Trinitarian Totality.
Attracting its “source”.
It grounds our emptiness,
Our efforts, searching and frustrations.
To take the step, to step back,
to turn in order to reorient.
Emptying to replete.
To let go without hurting us!
Full freedom!
A background unites us…
nothing affects time…
we spring from God…
To live the experience,
To feel ourselves ¨¨being¨¨¨
in the BEING of God.
Transparency!
Diaphanousness!
Irradiation!
Letting go opens us to his own DESIRES.
Triad in three times…
ACCEPT
SHUT UP
IRRADIATE
Living the I AM of Jesus.
Unfinished gift…
always in search,
fragile gift, loved and chosen.
The new is gestated in the broken and the fragile.
A synodal kairos is enveloping us.
It invites, it challenges, it is time! Today! Always…

Les envío mi respuesta artística agradeciendo las profundas reflexiones que nos han regalado pues me han permitido tener conversaciones con Mary Ward, Teresa Ball y el mundo. Siento que ambas dicen, me dicen y nos dicen “Cómo quisiera que todas estuvieran aquí”. Este deseo de unión se transformó en mi deseo también!Muy Feliz día de María Ward
I am grateful for the profound reflections that you have given us as they have allowed me to have conversations with Mary Ward, Teresa Ball and the world. I feel that they both say, tell me and tell us “How I wish they were all here”. This wish of union became my wish too! Very Happy Mary Ward’s Day

TeMa (TeMa: Teresa Mary)
RIT. Raggiungere, superare, non stancarti di abbracciare, cerca il Regno, la giustizia, porta luce dona amore.
1) Una vita per viaggiare, per salpare, per remare
con la bussola di un cuore, abitato dal Signore.
Una vita per servire, per sognare per creare
condividere spezzare, aver cura rinnovare.
2) Menta aperta sii creativa, cuore aperto dona vita
apri la tua volontà, verso il meglio con fiducia.
Tutto è grazia è Kairos, non avere mai paura
povertà guerra dolore, c’è una luce che non muore.
3) Il tuo amore è come fuoco, da tenere sempre acceso
l’amore vince ogni paura, ed affronta ogni battaglia.
Va’ coraggio accendi il mondo, con il fuoco del suo amore
buio c’è da illuminare e catene da spezzare.
4) Verso un futuro ignoto, ci tuffiamo nel presente
ora è tempo siamo uno, forza mano nella mano
quanto è bello quanto è buono, vivere insieme in libertà
relazioni vere giuste, costruite in verità.
TeMa (TeMa: Teresa Mary)
RIT. Reach out, overcome, don’t tire of embracing, seek the Kingdom, justice, bring light give love.
1) A life to travel, to sail, to row
With the compass of a heart, inhabited by the Lord.
A life to serve, to dream, to create, to share, to break, to care, to renew.
to share to break, to care to renew.
2) Open mind be creative, open heart give life
open your will, towards the best with confidence.
Everything is grace is Kairos, never fear
poverty war pain, there is a light that does not die.
3) Your love is like fire, to be kept always burning
love overcomes every fear, and faces every battle.
Go courageously light the world, with the fire of his love
Darkness there is to illuminate and chains to break.
4) Towards an unknown future, we dive in the present
now is the time we are one, come on hand in hand
how beautiful how good, living together in freedom
true relationships right, built in truth.

Planet Earth – Our common home
Here in Australia we have a continent that suffers from drought and other climate related matters and our government continues to invest in fossil fuels as a source of energy.
In this picture, by encouraging the young child to plant a tree, the adult explains to the child, (and to future generations), how important trees are for the environment and how they help to combat climate change.

Threads
Red,green,
Blue,gold,
Fragile or strong,
Long/ infinitesimal,
There and here,
ColourfulTied up, undone,
In sorrow and joy,
On paths untrodden
And broad highways.
We make our way.
Tangled weaving.Starting alone,
Befriended or lost.
Threads criss-cross
In a tapestry of
Recognising
Ourselves
In each other.One at last.
