INTRODUCTION
"VERB TO LIVE" and its Messages
"Verb to Live", drawing
his significance from the immense richness of the Gospels, is
essentially an invitaton. It's meant to enable us to find in its
pages the suggestion, advice or forecast who could guide us with
more assurance on our daily journey.
The book lends itself to different ways of reading. In view of its
chief function of anticipating happenings - and for an easy identification
of the "message" already offered in the text and transposed
by the author to nowadays
- the simplest and most direct way to operate is to look for the single
Message applying to the current day but, by drawing several passages
and linking them correctly, it is possible to delve deeper in the
numerous suggestions that the extracts from the Gospels offer us here.
It's possible, in fact, to have a general but accurate view of an
entire period of time, draw the Message for a single, very personal
and specific question, obtain parallel or crossed prophecies for two
or more persons, go even further and obtain a picture explaining the
most complex situations that could possibly occur, in an indefinite
period of time, to us or to others around us.
What's in "VERB TO LIVE"?
- In this book, you can find the complete text of Saint Luke's Gospel
supplemented by a number of chapters from Saint John's Gospel, easily
distinguishable by the different colour of the print.
- The Holy Text is divided into 366 passages - one for every day of
the year plus one - each one significant by itself.
- Every original passage from S.Luke's and S.John's Gospels is immediately
followed by:
1. the interpretation, or "TRANSPOSITION"
of its meaning related to the reality of the present age.
2. the "SO,
TODAY..."....the ensuing suggestion, or the specific "Message"
for the reader, who, totally at random, will have linked the drawn
number to the evangelic passage and its TRANSPOSITION.
Fundamental advice
To obtain any reliable Message, you need to approach the text in
the right frame of mind. So, before you draw the numbers, you should
devote a couple of minutes to clear your mind from overcrowding thoughts,
relax your body and create a mental silence to open your mind to the
coming Message.
· While reading the original Gospel's passage, you should be
calm and attentive, aiming at a full comprehension of the sense of
it.
· While reading the TRANSPOSITION,
you should thoroughly concentrate on your own and specific condition
and on the way the passage you just read touches you and your life.
· You should see the reading of the
"SO, TODAY..." as an impartial
but friendly voice, able to draw, from the evangelic passage and its
TRANSPOSITION, the right suggestion on
the best way to go or the best choice to make.
· It's obvious that if you know the Gospels in Their entirety,
and therefore in Their perfect consequentiality , you will find every
interpretation, or TRANSPOSITION, or adaptation of the Messages to
us and to our lives, more understandable, reliable and effective.
