Sebbene sepolcro il Foss sigillato custodissero dai soldati ei Giudei immacolato il Tuo corpo, Tu, Salvatore, sei risorto al terzo giorno, dando la vita al mondo. Perciò le potenze celesti cantavano a te, o Vivificatore: gloria alla tua risurrezione, o Cristo, gloria al tuo regno, gloria alla tua provvidenza, o solo amico degli uomini.

venerate your most pure icon, or good, asking forgiveness of our sins, O Christ God graciously condescended Did you in fact go willingly with your body on the Cross to free from the bondage of the enemy those whom you have formed, so with gratitude to thee we cry, have filled the universe with joy, O our Saviour, who came to save the world.

A te stratega condottiera che mi difendi, io, la tua città, grazie a te riscattata da tremende sventure, o Madre di Dio, dedico questi canti di vittoria in rendimento di grazie. E tu che possiedi l'invincibile potenza, li berami da ogni specie di pericolo, affinchè io a te acclami: Gioisci, Sposa inviolata!

APOSTOLOS (Eb. 11, 24-26. 32-40)

-

Benedetto sei tu, o Signore, Dio dei Padri nostri, e lodato e glorificato è il tuo nome nei secoli

- Poiché sei giusto in tutto ciò che hai fatto; e tutte le tue opere sono vere e rette le tue vie.

Lettura dalla lettera di Paolo agli Ebrei.

Fratelli, per fede Mosè, divenuto adulto, rifiutò di esser chiamato figlio della figlia del Faraone, preferendo essere maltrattato con il popolo di Dio piuttosto che godere per breve tempo del peccato. Questo perché stimava l’obbrobrio di Cristo ricchezza maggiore dei tesori d’Egitto; guardava infatti alla ricompensa. E che dirò ancora? Mi mancherebbe il tempo, se volessi tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, who through faith conquered kingdoms, exercise justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, they found strength in their weakness, became strong in war, rejected foreign invasions. Some women regained their dead by resurrection. Other then were tortured, not accepting their deliverance offered, to obtain a better resurrection. Others, finally, suffered taunts and scourges, chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, tortured, sawn timber, were killed by the sword, went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated them the world was not worthy! Wandering through the deserts, mountains, caves and caverns of the earth. Yet all these, having received a good testimony to their faith, did not achieve the promise: God having provided something better for us because they not be made perfect without us.

Alleluia (3 times).

- Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon His name. Alleluia (3 times).

- Invoking the Lord and he answered, speaking to them by a pillar of clouds. Alleluia (3 times).

GOSPEL (Jn 1, 43-51)

At that time, Jesus decided to go to Galilee; found Philip and said, "Follow me." Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said: "We found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph of Nazareth." Nathanael said to him: "From Nazareth can never be anything good?". Philip said: "Come and see." Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, told him: "Behold an Israelite indeed in whom is no guile." Nathanael asked, "How do you know me?". Jesus replied: "Before Philip called you, I saw you when you were under the fig tree." Nathanael: "Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are the king of Israel." Jesus replied: "Because I said that I saw you under the fig tree, do you think? You will see greater things than these. " Then he said: "In truth, in verità vi dico: vedrete il cielo aperto e gli angeli di Dio salire e scendere sul Figlio dell’uomo”.

rejoices in you, full of grace, all creation: and the angelic choirs and human offspring, or holy temple, a rational paradise, pride of virgins. From you, God took flesh and became one child that is our God for eternity. Of thy womb, for he made his throne, making it larger of heaven. In thee, O full of grace, all creation rejoices. Glory to you.

And yet the wind still blows

You know that I am biased. Part political, social, in short, I blurted my ideas and always openly. In this post I will talk (bad) of nuclear energy, so if someone has a weak stomach from that point of view, I visit some other blogs 'feel-good'.
So, on 8 and 9 November 1987 about 30 million Italians (I was there!) Went to vote for the so-called referendum on nuclear . In a nutshell, if you do not remember, it was decided that Italy could easily do without nuclear energy. In fact, in implementing the terms established by popular sovereignty, in 1988 the Government italiano stabilisce la moratoria nell'utilizzo del nucleare da fissione quale fonte energetica, che come conseguenza portò ad un programma di stop alla produzione di combustibile nucleare.
Quegli stessi italiani hanno aspettato 25 anni che qualcuno pensasse a come ricavare energia da fonti rinnovabili. E le soluzioni ci sono e, è il caso di dirlo, sono alla luce del sole. Ma qualche anno fa uno dei tanti governi fatti da politici di professione e magnati dell'industria (oltre che da inquisiti, condannati e imboscati mafiosi) decise che, per il bene del paese naturalmente, bisognava tornare al nucleare . Perché il nucleare è pulito, economico, sicuro, porta posti Working in short, the usual stories memorized.
I am not a technician, a specialist in these things, but a simple citizen who is interested to continue to enjoy the benefits of energy (as it would upset me a little 'going back to light my house with candles or to force my wife to return to wash the laundry by the river) but without living with the fear that at any moment a death call invisible radiation is knocking the door. I am not a technician, I said, then I give the word to those who know more than me (and I know that there is among you people so). But I think if you do not want to insist on research and expansion of renewable energies is because There are economic and political interests too big that dominate us. In 2003 the European Commission drew up a
Assessment of impact of non-nuclear energy projects implemented under the Fourth Framework Programme which says inter alia that the main obstacle the use of renewable energy is cost, despite the reductions achieved through public and private research (the cost of wind energy have been halved in the last decade). the lack of political will to ensure costing taking into account the full cost, especially the costs to the environment and health, hinders the development of clean energy sources and, consequently, the effectiveness of research on renewable . (emphasis mine). And we're talking about the European Commission, not some environmentalist association from overwork, maybe the left!
Then yesterday, at some point, we woke up and found that nuclear power plants are not as safe (also here ). E 'enough that the earth who sustains and governs us and produces various fruits with colored flowers and herbs had a normal Settling time (as when the body is purified by issuing a little 'liquid more or less yellow) to understand that things are different. But, you say, Japan is one thousand miles! But, I say, indeed, the Civil Protection that Italy is one of the countries with the highest seismic risk in the Mediterranean . So what difference does the distance from that terrible tragedy?
I certainly am no one, this post and my blog will not want to change neither the world nor the environmental policy of any government (God forbid!). But I felt the need to reflect you on these matters, which are real things, not science fiction or academic discussions, and above all touch our skin and that of our children to come. Also because we can still do something. In a few months so we have the opportunity to have our say on this, going to vote for the referendum on the "realization of the plants in the country of energy production Nuclear Act (133/2008). Informiamoci, let an idea, we talk with the neighbor, the parent of a school friend of our son, my colleague in office, the bartender and the newspaper. Con la gente, insomma, con cui viviamo e con cui condividiamo questo paese e questo pianeta.
Eppure il vento soffia ancora.
