We encounter this God in a land "given to the hands of man", in the face of a poor person and a little one, in the silence and tears, in the joy and hope of those who never tire of sowing seeds... because the God of Jesus is found "moving from the sinful and suffering world and not from a religious height". Becoming men and women is the true Christian vocation and the Church can only be at the service of this call. Every time it gives in to the temptation of power and success, of ritualism, of clericalism, of an asceticism that distances one from the life of the world, forgets his service and his mission; forget who she really is.

Francis of Assisi at a young age met the disease, and more or less serious, the disease was a dramatic event for both him and his family. In fact, illness transforms the existence of the individual by modifying family and social relationships, upsets the identity and enters a state of crisis, certainly with the outside world, but above all with one's own body.I would like in this second part of the book, through the experience of Francesco's illness, to try to look at the disease with a new perspective, which is not established by chance, but must be seen as a defense mechanism, and an attempt by the body to overcome conditions that he does not feel suitable, so that he can defend himself, and then live in good health.

The starting point is the current text of the Gospel. What Jesus said and did, the event through which God reveals himself as Lord of history, close to and involved with human affairs, is presented as a book written in the second half of the 1st century AD, in a specific cultural environment. The first level of reading is the one that applies to the book: understanding what the author intends to say, with his language and his conception of the world.

El evangelista quiere transmitirnos el verdadero mensaje de Jesús: su intención no es realizar una acción dramática de chamán sino liberarnos, hacernos recuperar nuestra dignidad de seres pensantes, nuestras facultades.Frente al bien del hombre todo pasa a un segundo plano: el sábado fue hecho para el hombre, no el hombre para el sábado.Lo que comenzó como algo positivo para el ser humano se había convertido, con el tiempo, en una forma de esclavitud. Esta no era la voluntad de Dios, esta no era la palabra de Dios, y Jesús usa el método más eficaz para comunicárnoslo: ¡la transgresión!
