How To Make A Cloest With Slanted Walls

Ten Commandments: Yes, please!

Here are some interesting reflections of Don Fabio Rosini on the Ten Commandments and their relevance today!


The Ten Commandments:
because the law of Sinai announce today?

«[...]
I, a youth of today, I know many things, very contradictory and received from many sources opposed. Sociologically not accept the authority, I do not believe in the fathers, of any kind. At the cultural level professed relativism evanescent, a worldview in gaseous everything is true and everything is false, nothing is certain . It is clear that this is analysis cut with an ax, in a few lines, a generalization that would require one thousand distinctions. But we try to get somewhere and do not fall in the drain depth of tailings.

What is the result of the picture just drawn? A desperate lack of certainty . This failure is almost never conscious, has a draft of anguish in the depths of the hearts of people today. [...]
So if my livelihood, certain things are necessary to deal in some way my self, by definition, are doubted, for, unreliable, as I am?

And the Ten Commandments?
After 200 years of devastation we know how much for a man who does not know anything . We have an illiteracy existential , every choice is uncertain, and lives at random. We lost the instructions for use. We use the life, body, affection, friendship, time, unknown as a household appliance, push buttons at random. Happiness seems to be a fortuitous accident, and alchemy of life seems ineffable. Sheep without a shepherd, who rejected the pastor culturally, existentially, scientifically.

" At that time there was no king in Israel: every man did what he thought best" ( Jud 21, 25) . [...]

Life has its own instructions for use, it has the watermark of authenticity. We, the announcers, we know (If you know) that in the Holy Father's will is our peace, our certainty, and that there is a good use of things .
Just this are the 10 commandments : the path of peace, the path of wisdom .
If it is true that we must move from Law to Grace, it is true that the man who does not even know the law is a blind man without reference points .
