Ti auguro il sorriso: Per tornare alla gioia

by Papa Francesco

“Il sorriso è una carezza, un dono che ha grande valore. Dobbiamo imparare di nuovo a sorridere, a lasciarci invadere da una gioia nuova”.

Il manifesto di Papa Francesco per rinascere grazie a un sorriso. Scopri come vivere con la gioia – vera e duratura – che è manifestazione dell'amore di Dio. Accogliere e condividere questa serenità è sempre stato al centro del messaggio del Pontefice per tutti i fedeli. Ancora una volta, papa Francesco ci sprona a non abbandonarci al pessimismo e al cinismo, ma ad abbracciare la vita e il prossimo con un sorriso.

Papa Francesco (Jorge Mario Bergoglio) è nato nel 1936 a Buenos Aires. Diventa vescovo della capitale argentina nel 1993 e cardinale nel 1998.

Il 13 marzo 2013 viene eletto nuovo papa della Chiesa Cattolica e vescovo di Roma, con il nome di Francesco I.

Reviews

[Tom LA · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an anthology (from the ancient greek “anthos” = flower. A collection of flowers) of Pope Francis’ speeches, homilies and letters.
I love the simplicity of his style, and, even more, the fact that it’s only an apparent simplicity, because Christianity is not “easy to understand”. It requires guidance, patience and love.

Here is a small example:

“ It is more difficult to let God love us than to love Him! The best way to love Him in return is to open our hearts and let Him love us.

Let Him draw close to us and feel Him close to us. This is really very difficult: letting ourselves be loved by Him. And that is perhaps what we need to ask today in the Mass: ‘Lord, I want to love You, but teach me the difficult science, the difficult habit of let ting myself be loved by You, to feel You close and feel Your tenderness ! May the Lord give us this grace.”

D’aquesta lectura em queden algunes idees o pistes per recuperar el somriure: Compromís, servei, sortir d’un/a mateix/a, connexió amb Déu, esperança, pregària, viure el moment present amb consciència,
no tenir por…

Personalment no he gaudit el llibre com a peça literària. He vist trossos d’aquí i d’allà, de diferents xerrades, escrits, moments del papa Francesc, pregàries i una entrevista final.
Tot i així hi ha hagut pàgines concretes que m’han tocat el cor per les que m’alegra haver-lo llegit.

Un conjunto de pensamientos, palabras y mensajes que se mueven entre ejes temáticos que nos permiten entender la posición del Papa y su visión.
Me lo leí en 3 días es fácil de leer y los mensajes me llegaron.

[Rodrigo Alejandro · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is a collection of messages that Pope Francis has delivered in speeches, homilies, interviews, &c. It is not a catechetical book, but rather a walking through his thoughts, characterized by his shepherd style.

Bellissimo. Ci ricorda ancora che con l'amore si vince ogni cosa

[Some Girl · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is full of deeply profound insights, delivered in small, digestible sections.

I was shocked that some reviews online considered parts of this book too 'socially progressive', however I encourage everyone to read it.

I've just finished it, reading it cover to cover in 3 days, but I will certainly be rereading it soon to use the questions and wisdom within as journalling and meditation prompts.

Semplice e profondo come le cose migliori

[Marie-Ange Van Avermaet · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nederlandse titel: Ik wens je een glimlach. Leestip! Toevallig in de bib gevonden en ik dacht dat het misschien het lezen waard zou zijn. Ik denk dat ik het een tweede keer ga lezen.
