My Gil

My little Gil is feverish.

He is always sleeping and eats little.

Yesterday I went to the veterinary. Diagnosis: He has an infection. :(( Needs to take antibiotic.

I hope he gets better quickly.

Today...

... is the first day of Spring

Holy Week

We are in the Holy Week.

This is the last week before Easter. Begins in the Palm Sunday – day in what Church celebrates the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem – and ends in the Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday is the first day of The Fifty Days until Pentecost’s.
Holy Week commemorates the last week of the earthly life of Jesus.

Holy Thursday

Is celebrated the Last Supper of Jesus and his Apostles. Is also celebrated the ritual of Jesus washing the feet to his Apostles.

Good Friday

Is celebrated the Jesus crucifixion.
The main altar in the Churches remains completely bare, without towel, candles, etc.

Holy Saturday

In the beginning of the Easter Vigil, all lights of the church are put out and is prepared a fire outside the Church.
The Paschal Candle is lighted from the new fire.
All the people enter in Church in procession while priest is saying “Christ our light” and all the people answer “Thanks to be God”.

When arrives at the altar, all the lights are put on.
In the old times, was in the Holy Saturday that the children or other candidates for baptism (catechumens) is presented for be baptized.

This is a very important week for the Christians.
We need to have courage and live this week in a different way. Paying attention to the really important things. And… praying more.
It is not necessary to do big changes in our life. Just look to the little things. Those things that we usually don’t pay attention. Little things makes the difference.

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night wake up to find it was vanity but the dreamers of the dream by day are dangerous people for they act their dream true.

Lawrence of Arabia.

Everyone dream and everyone have dreams. If we don't have dreams we don't have objectives in life.

Those who dream by night, when wake up at the morning, sometimes don't remember what were the dreams about.

But, those who HAVE dreams, do anything to reach it.

I think we must work hard to reach our dreams. But, we have to be careful for do not becoming dangerous people and to hurt the others.

Remember... Your freedom finishes when the others starts.

Are you truily free?

Friday

Oh, I am so glad for being Friday!!!

This week was very hard. I am really tired.

An old story

An old story tells that 3 stonemasons who were working in the same construction and doing the same thing had been questioned about what they are doing.
The first one answered: “I am working for living”. The second one said: “I am doing the best work of our country”. Finally, the third one looks with brilliance in his eyes and said: “I am building a cathedral”.

Will we be able to answer to this question in the same way of the third stonemason?

Have all of you your objectives well defined?

New rules from Vatican

As some of you already know, by the news on TV, Vatican is preparing new rules for the Holy Communion. One of them is to receive the Host directly on the mouth.

They will be only guidances (at least I hope so), but I have to give my opinion about this.

Those who know me, know that I am catholic. I participate in the Holy Communion and I offer my hand to receive the Host.

If some people don't make it correctly we have to teach them as they must do it.

I entirely agree that is an act that deserves our respect, yet I think that it's not for receiving in our hands that it will lose dignity.

We should not cheapen, nevertheless I am afraid that some decisions can move away the people from Church.

Why a blog in english?

The idea appeared after my english teacher make me a challenge of write about anything I want, but... in english. On this way, I can improve my english vocabulary.

I thought it was a good idea. So I decided to write more or less the same of my blog "Menina Soina", but translated in english.

I hope you enjoy it and forgive me if I make many mistakes. :))

See you on my next post...
