THEY THROWN THEMSELVES ON HIM

 



 

Paolo Cugini

 

He had healed many, so that those who had any ailment pressed upon him to touch him (Mk 3:10).

 

Hear, O earth, the word that resounds from ancient times. In an age of confusion, a prophet arises to proclaim what is already written deep in our hearts, but which humanity, corrupted by time and selfishness, has tragically forgotten. It is the call to original purity, to the source of that Life that once walked among us.

It was not a harsh judge who walked the dust of our streets, but the Word made flesh: the manifestation of pure goodness. He did not bear laws written in stone, but a body pulsating with the energy of love. He was an inexhaustible source, capable of healing every evil, every deep wound, and every sore of the soul. Before His gaze, every resentment and every lie melted away like snow in the sun; His essence was authentic life, a light that revealed the illusion of human corruption.

All humanity, marked by the Fall and burdened by sin, was drawn to Him as to an inextinguishable beacon. Everyone flocked to this source, seeking that energy of infinite love capable of recharging and renewing, day after day, anyone who had the courage to drink from it.

The Shadow and the Sea: The Unfinished Gift. Today we turn our gaze toward the sea, where the Master retreated in quiet with His disciples. In those moments of silence and contemplation, He poured out His deepest existential and spiritual essence. Yet, history presents us with a bitter paradox: His closest followers failed to fully grasp the immensity of that gift. What has come down to us through institutions is often only a shadow, a faded reflection of His true spiritual stature.

The Alabaster Vase: Mary Magdalene But in this landscape of oblivion, there is no room for despair. There exists an "alabaster vase" that has preserved intact the essence of the Master. It is in the style, the exquisite sensitivity, and the profound love of Mary Magdalene that we find the most faithful reflection of Him who was Love.

She, the beloved disciple, did not stop at the surface of doctrine, but understood the mystery of redeeming love. In Mary Magdalene, that one way, that one truth, and that one life that the world desperately seeks, lives again. Listening to her testimony, rediscovering her sensitivity, means returning to the beating heart of the Gospel. In her, the Master's energy is not a memory of the past, but a living presence that still calls humanity to reawaken today.
