In Memoria Di Me In Memory of Myself

en
00:00:17 I need to have an ideal,
00:00:22 I don't want to keep chasing after
00:00:25 the same freedom that everyone wants.
00:00:29 It's false.
00:00:32 It's false freedom.
00:00:36 What kind of life
00:00:39 I have lived without depriving myself
00:00:43 I have loved.
00:00:48 And yet it seemed
00:00:51 that I had nothing more to give.
00:00:56 And my heart suffered.
00:01:00 But I buried it inside me
00:01:07 Anyway, for everyone else,
00:01:14 I started losing sleep
00:01:19 to look around and find
00:01:27 I don't know why
00:01:30 and reading the Gospel.
00:01:37 It's hard to explain, but...
00:01:40 a new way of being
00:01:44 occurred to me.
00:01:47 What do you want to become?
00:01:53 A person.
00:02:14 IN MEMORY OF MYSELF
00:03:05 Come in.
00:03:19 Please be seated.
00:03:30 Congratulations, you have passed
00:03:33 of isolation over the last few days.
00:03:36 Tomorrow, you will encounter
00:03:42 Silence which sharpens discernment,
00:03:44 which will judge a vocation.
00:03:47 If there is one.
00:03:50 As you know, this is a period
00:03:53 It is a question of turning
00:03:57 of changing the way you have looked
00:04:04 To obtain this new perspective,
00:04:06 we must envelop ourselves
00:04:10 We are not accustomed
00:04:14 which speaks deep within us.
00:04:17 Where God dwells.
00:04:23 The rules of the house
00:04:27 You will learn this.
00:04:30 Some of them
00:04:34 They will challenge
00:04:38 Your brothers
00:04:41 as you should look out for them.
00:04:46 Indicating the shortcomings
00:04:51 is an act of charity.
00:04:53 It is like self-denunciation,
00:04:58 the dark side of yourself
00:05:01 which needs
00:05:04 Finally, do not forget that
00:05:07 while you are here to test the Order,
00:05:09 the Order will be testing you.
00:05:15 After you.
00:05:42 I would like to introduce
00:05:46 Come.
00:05:48 This is the community
00:05:51 The retired Fathers,
00:05:53 the Father Superiors
00:05:57 With time,
00:05:59 - Please be seated.
00:06:05 We thank you, Father, for the food
00:06:09 In the name of the Father,
00:07:14 And these are our quarters.
00:07:19 Follow me.
00:07:40 You live here.
00:07:46 Have you met Fausto?
00:08:00 It's basic,
00:08:04 The Father Master asked me
00:08:08 at the start.
00:08:09 Anyway, it's the same everyday,
00:08:12 barring exceptions.
00:08:15 - Welcome.
00:10:54 I am sorry.
00:10:56 Hold this. You can fill up the bucket
00:10:59 You can start
00:11:02 Then remember to put it back in here.
00:11:05 When the bell rings, we start the
00:11:08 Yes, yes, thank you.
00:11:10 - He already gave them to me.
00:11:25 Leave it.
00:13:13 Come in.
00:14:09 "If anyone wants to be my follower,
00:14:13 take up his cross and follow me."
00:14:18 Man's secret yet constant thought
00:14:22 to ensure a material existence
00:14:28 This desperate, useless quest
00:14:33 Causes him
00:14:37 True life, however, is loving Him
00:14:41 This is true life
00:14:57 It's your turn, Fausto.
00:15:19 Mark 8, 31-35.
00:15:24 In reference to
00:15:27 De Rienzo's 34.
00:15:30 "If anyone wants to be my follower,
00:15:33 let him renounce himself,
00:15:37 Well...
00:15:39 This passage...
00:15:43 explains what it means
00:15:51 The key phrase is as follows:
00:15:54 "Anyone who wants to save his life,
00:15:58 but anyone who loses his life
00:16:02 will save it".
00:16:07 Well,
00:16:11 the point is...
00:16:18 what is meant by life?
00:16:25 The...
00:16:28 term in the Greek text,
00:16:30 psyche,
00:16:32 corresponds to the Hebrew term
00:16:36 nephesh...
00:16:41 Let me start again.
00:16:44 The Greek term psyche, life,
00:16:46 corresponds to the Hebrew term
00:16:51 Therefore,
00:16:54 life is...
00:16:59 breath.
00:17:08 But also...
00:17:15 Personality,
00:17:46 I'm sorry.
00:19:08 Well,
00:19:12 at the end of the day,
00:19:15 as usual,
00:19:20 we have come before the Lord
00:19:29 Let's attempt to go over the events
00:19:36 the encounters we've had.
00:19:41 We think back with gratitude
00:19:47 We think back also on the moments
00:19:52 when we were concentrating only
00:21:34 Fausto...
00:23:54 "It is great not to be subject
00:23:59 but it is far greater to remain
00:24:05 Maximus the Confessor is telling us
00:24:09 and therefore unreal.
00:24:11 When for example we go through states
00:24:15 we say that it was nothing,
00:24:19 It was only the appearance,
00:24:22 Therefore I tell you that
00:24:24 learn not to let it show.
00:24:28 Train yourselves to remain impassive,
00:24:33 You will see that it will become
00:24:39 One day, in the desert of Egypt,
00:24:42 to ask if
00:24:45 The monk said that his first task
00:24:49 and insult them.
00:24:51 And then go back to them
00:24:55 The young man went but when
00:24:58 "I have done what you told me,
00:25:03 And the monk answered: "Come back
00:25:08 Our aim is to become indifferent
00:25:14 We must not desire
00:25:18 health over illness,
00:25:20 success rather than scorn,
00:25:22 or a long life
00:25:26 Those of us here,
00:25:28 strive only for what fulfils the aim
00:25:33 To resemble God.
00:29:42 We thank you, Lord, for the food...
00:29:45 Lord...
00:29:49 recognizing our own sins is greater
00:29:55 He who weeps for an hour for himself
00:29:59 is greater than he
00:30:03 He who recognizes his own weaknesses
00:30:07 is greater than he who sees an angel.
00:30:12 He who follows Christ in secret
00:30:16 is greater than he
00:30:24 Nobody can recognize his own sins
00:30:28 without at the same time knowing God.
00:30:32 Not before, nor after.
00:30:36 At the very same instant.
00:30:39 The same identical intuition
00:30:51 We thank you, Lord,
00:30:53 for the food that
00:30:57 and that we ate in your presence.
00:31:01 In the name of the Father,
00:31:04 Amen.
00:31:23 Soul of Christ, sanctify me,
00:31:27 Blood of Christ, inebriate me, water
00:31:32 Passion of Christ, comfort me.
00:31:36 Good Lord, hear me
00:31:40 Do not let me stray from You.
00:31:43 Defend me from my evil enemy
00:31:48 Let me come to You to praise You and
00:31:55 Soul of Christ, sanctify me,
00:32:00 Blood of Christ...
00:32:06 Defend me from my evil enemy
00:32:11 Let me come to You to praise You and
00:37:01 As you must have realized,
00:37:06 Serious family matters forced him
00:37:11 In the hope of his return one day,
00:37:14 let us pray to the Lord
00:37:21 We offer thanks to you, Lord Jesus.
00:37:23 Watch over us that
00:37:28 May you be blessed now
00:37:31 In the name of the Father, the Son
00:37:43 - The doctor's here.
00:37:54 Father...
00:37:57 I'm sorry to bother you.
00:37:59 What is it?
00:38:02 It's about Panella.
00:38:04 I saw him leave
00:38:08 - I heard noises and...
00:38:16 Why are you lying, Father?
00:38:21 Because it's right.
00:38:23 And so it should be referred
00:38:30 It is also right that Fausto left
00:38:35 In any event,
00:38:40 His parents came to pick him up.
00:38:45 Do you require
00:39:48 A community based on Christ
00:39:56 But living alongside others and
00:40:00 is a great opportunity for us
00:40:05 How we appear to others and
00:40:11 The comments of others serve
00:40:15 the image
00:40:18 Only humiliation can teach us
00:40:24 Listen, Andrea,
00:40:27 to what your brothers
00:40:35 You seem too sure of yourself.
00:40:41 You are too curious,
00:40:47 You seem presumptuous.
00:40:52 It seems like you are running away
00:40:57 It feels like you are judging me.
00:41:02 You seem cold, indifferent.
00:41:08 I'm afraid of you,
00:41:15 You seem vain.
00:43:05 It's the new schedule
00:43:08 It's tomorrow.
00:43:11 You'll have to write it tonight.
00:44:25 We have taken refuge here,
00:44:28 the dwelling of God,
00:44:30 that takes us in and absolves us
00:44:34 What have we given up?
00:44:37 Only that which
00:44:40 Love so commonplace that
00:44:45 We have discovered that
00:44:48 Daily routines, rituals
00:44:51 and liturgies which prevent us
00:44:55 But this is still no guarantee
00:44:59 We quote the Scriptures,
00:45:02 meditate on the Gospel,
00:45:04 but no one knows better than we do
00:45:10 Should we blame ourselves for this?
00:45:18 Is there another path for us,
00:45:24 No.
00:45:25 We know that we must be
00:45:29 that when hearing the Gospel,
00:45:35 That when sensing love,
00:45:39 That when hoping for forgiveness,
00:45:45 And when it should fall
00:45:49 asks God to account for what it,
00:45:53 and it alone, should have done.
00:46:11 You are judging.
00:46:18 There is no love in what you say.
00:46:24 I don't pretend
00:46:29 I am here to learn
00:46:36 But love is
00:46:44 I think people
00:46:48 even if they have never read a word
00:46:50 of the tons of literature
00:46:57 How can you be
00:47:02 We are called upon to explain
00:47:13 The Gospel exists.
00:47:16 He who explains it must give
00:47:22 You are the Gospel when
00:47:28 It is through you that the people
00:47:34 If there weren't a single copy
00:47:41 if I was told
00:47:44 that Jesus Christ was only a lie...
00:47:50 But if through someone else,
00:47:52 I truly experienced Him myself,
00:47:56 be certain...
00:47:59 Be certain
00:48:02 than with all the other
00:53:56 Please be seated.
00:54:11 The Father Master informs me
00:54:13 that you show great ability
00:54:18 In particular, he praised
00:54:23 As you know, our job here
00:54:26 is to enhance
00:54:31 The work of the Lord
00:54:37 the gifts He bestowed on us.
00:54:45 Who are you?
00:54:49 Why have you come here?
00:54:53 Write about the process
00:54:58 the reasons for it.
00:55:00 Try to explain it.
00:55:09 Personally, I would be happy
00:55:27 I know it's hard at first.
00:55:30 But try and keep at it,
00:55:34 We are certain that
00:55:44 I am counting on you, Andrea.
00:59:56 Why are you following me?
01:00:39 To be everything in life,
01:00:44 I'd managed to give up
01:00:50 It was all the same, I said.
01:00:54 We're just ants.
01:00:57 Ghosts.
01:01:01 Then one evening,
01:01:04 I went out into the street
01:01:06 and made up my mind
01:01:14 All I had to do to die
01:01:24 I'm not pretending I was enlightened.
01:01:29 It only lasted a second.
01:01:34 And everything was so present.
01:01:42 In the depths of it,
01:01:46 I didn't feel alone anymore.
01:01:54 I realized that evil
01:01:58 was what I myself was doing,
01:02:03 and that I needed forgiveness.
01:02:08 Perhaps for the first time
01:02:11 in my life, I felt...
01:02:15 I felt loved.
01:02:20 And so I...
01:02:24 And so I came here,
01:02:27 in order not to lose myself.
01:02:35 But the silence
01:02:38 of this church
01:02:41 is empty.
01:02:52 They need truth
01:02:54 to be dead.
01:03:01 They need truth to be...
01:03:03 dead.
01:03:09 Why are you here?
01:03:12 I'm here for myself.
01:03:20 Because the world won't change,
01:03:22 if I don't change first.
01:03:26 We aren't changing the world.
01:03:29 We're only copying it.
01:03:35 And why are you still here?
01:03:45 Because I'm afraid.
01:03:50 Who's in the infirmary?
01:05:51 Come in.
01:05:56 I hope I'm not disturbing you.
01:06:00 Last night I overheard something
01:07:05 What were you and Zanna
01:07:18 Well? Answer me !
01:07:34 He has some doubts.
01:07:37 He is asking himself questions.
01:07:39 What do you mean,
01:07:50 Well?
01:08:01 Explain to your brothers
01:08:11 He feels he is dying in here.
01:08:27 Here we prepare you
01:08:32 To be ready to serve Him
01:08:35 whenever needed.
01:08:45 You should be ready
01:08:48 overcome diffidence and opposition,
01:08:52 face wars
01:08:55 and even martyrdom.
01:09:02 And you must always be prepared
01:09:05 to carry out
01:09:15 If you are incapable
01:09:21 you are free to return to the world.
01:09:37 The doors remain open
01:09:40 for those who wish to leave.
01:09:49 The novitiate is when
01:09:55 and the Order tests the novice.
01:10:06 Do not forget this.
01:10:10 Not all of you will see it through.
01:11:50 "If your brother does something wrong,
01:11:55 If he listens to you, you have
01:28:09 I have decided to leave.
01:28:20 If I stayed,
01:28:26 I can't do it.
01:28:30 Why should I?
01:28:35 It would be madness.
01:28:39 To God?
01:28:43 But God is everywhere.
01:28:46 He is in me.
01:28:50 I'm taking him with me.
01:29:04 What will you do?
01:29:08 I don't know.
01:29:12 I'm going to go in
01:29:17 opposite to everyone in here.
01:30:35 Who am I?
01:30:41 Tell me who I am.
01:30:55 Tell me why I'm here.
01:31:09 Who am I?
01:31:24 I pretend...
01:31:28 I pretend...
01:31:31 I'm pretending...
01:31:37 I'm pretending !
01:31:39 I'm not able to love.
01:32:26 I'm not able to love.
01:33:06 It's not me you're looking for.
01:33:13 It's not me.
01:33:21 Do you understand?
01:33:29 I'm worthless.
01:33:49 I don't believe in anything.
01:34:50 I'm coming with you.
01:34:53 We're leaving tonight.
01:35:09 Father.
01:35:11 Andrea...
01:35:16 I'm sorry.
01:35:19 Accepting who we are
01:35:26 I'm sorry, Father.
01:35:30 Andrea,
01:35:34 make up your mind
01:35:37 but a new beginning.
01:37:49 Why did you come to me?
01:37:54 To tell me that you want to be free?
01:37:58 You have always been free here.
01:38:02 You look at me with pride.
01:38:06 You should know that I, too,
01:38:09 spent some time chasing after
01:38:16 Your freedom is a desperate freedom,
01:38:21 shouting against
01:38:30 But Christ did not descend
01:38:36 He wasn't forcing man to believe,
01:38:48 He let Himself be killed,
01:38:52 to believe or not.
01:38:57 To love Him.
01:39:00 Or reject Him.
01:39:10 What He was asking
01:39:13 unconstrained love.
01:39:19 But Christ had
01:39:27 Humanity doesn't want to be free,
01:39:30 but to be slaves.
01:39:39 And so we,
01:39:42 we above all others,
01:39:44 have chosen His freedom.
01:39:48 We,
01:39:52 and we alone,
01:39:56 that it is not the freedom of choice
01:40:06 Not the love you desire,
01:40:12 but the mystery.
01:40:20 The terrifying mystery...
01:44:52 I was created to carry out a plan
01:44:58 I occupy a place in the eyes of God,
01:45:01 in God's world,
01:45:03 that no one else occupies.
01:45:07 It doesn't matter if I am rich,
01:45:10 poor, admired or
01:45:15 God knows me and calls me by name.
01:45:20 He has entrusted me with a task
01:45:24 I have a mission
01:45:26 and in some way
01:45:30 God did not make me in vain.
01:45:53 IN MEMORY OF MYSELF
