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.
