Oct 06 2009 3:10 AM PDT

Tomorrow we will bring Catherine in another hospital to begin the phase of awakening (after the very good doctors in Florence saved her life). We have great confidence that the doctors also rely. But the time is more delicate and much, we really need the help of Lady Catherine wakes up and it's okay.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your love, your prayers and your constant moving offers sacrifices, I will be liable for a lifetime. Carry
below what I wrote in Mauritius Belpietro, Director of the Free, the newspaper I work on these days that lie ahead.

MY PRAYER FOR CATHERINE

Dear Editor, Catherine
my beautiful eyes. His youth is now lying on a bed of light and pain. It 's like a Sleeping Beauty. But crucified. I find myself inadvertently "sent" in the regions of extreme suffering and painful in this scenario - if an angel would like to lead the anxiety - there are several things that I think I begin to understand.
The first news is that my heart beats. Our hearts still beating. I know that normally it is not news. Not even considering. Until that happens to your daughter, radiant in its 24 years of life, on the eve of the degree in which he studied architecture for five years, suddenly one night his heart si ferma e senza alcuna ragione. Si ferma di colpo (o, come dicono, va in fibrillazione).
Lì, quando ti si spalanca davanti quell’abisso improvviso che ti fa urlare uno sconfinato “nooooo!!!”, cominci a capire: è la cosa meno scontata del mondo che in questo preciso istante il cuore dei tuoi bimbi, il mio cuore o il tuo, amico lettore, batta.
Quante volte ho sentito don Giussani stupirci con questa evidenza: che nessuno fa battere volontariamente il proprio cuore. E’ come un dono che si riceve di continuo, senza accorgersi. Istante per istante dipendiamo da Qualcun Altro che ci dà vita…
C’illudiamo di possedere mille cose e di essere chissacchì, ma così clamorosamente non possediamo noi stessi. Un Altro ci fa. In ogni attimo. Vengono le vertigini a pensarci. Allora si può solo mendicare, come poveri che non hanno nulla, neanche se stessi, un altro battito e un altro respiro ancora dal Signore della vita (“Gesù nostro respiro”, diceva una grande santo).
Certo, si ricorre a tutti i mezzi umani e a tutte le cure mediche. Che oggi sono eccezionali e personalmente devo ringraziare degli ottimi medici, competenti e umani. Ma anch’essi sanno di avere poteri limitati, non possono arrivare all’impossibile, non potrebbero nulla se non fosse concesso dall’alto e poi se non fossero “illuminati” e guidati.
Rex tremendae majestatis… E’ Lui il padrone and the source of life and everything that is. And our children and our daughters are his. And 'their father dearly. Then - with all our pretensions annihilated soul torn - you discover all the poor to beg his life from "the one who answers prayers ...."
begged to get back a smile to my daughter, a look, a word ... Suddenly, what seemed the most obvious and the world appears to you as the most valuable and almost an impossible dream ... I am ready to give everything, all I have, everything I know and who are, I would give their lives for that treasure.
We always rush for a thousand causes, goals, ambitions that we seem so important to us to neglect their children. But now how does it all without any value to the comparison of the look of a daughter, to his youth in full bloom ...
A great gift God has done to people by making them fathers and mothers: so everyone can experience it means to love another creature more than themselves. And so we have a faint idea of \u200b\u200bhis love and his compassion for us ...
Catherine is his favorite, as all those who suffer. I recall the words of the English song sung beautifully by my princess and dedicated to Our Lady, "Ojos de cielo", which says: "Eyes of Heaven, Heaven's eyes / do not leave in mid-flight."
Riascolto il suo canto, con il nodo alla gola, come la sua preghiera: “Se guardo il fondo dei tuoi occhi teneri/ mi si cancella il mondo con tutto il suo inferno./ Mi si cancella il mondo e scopro il cielo/ quando mi tuffo nei tuoi occhi teneri./ Occhi di cielo, occhi di cielo,/ non abbandonarmi in pieno volo./ Occhi di cielo, occhi di cielo,/ tutta la mia vita per questo sogno…/ Se io mi dimenticassi di ciò che è vero/ se io mi allontanassi da ciò che è sincero/ i tuoi occhi di cielo me lo ricorderebbero,/ se io mi allontanassi dal vero./ Occhi di cielo..”.
E infine quell’ultima strofa che oggi suona come un presagio: “Se il sole che mi illumina un giorno si spegnesse/ dark night and a win on my life, / your eyes of sky lights me / your honest eyes, which are walking and driving for me. / Eyes of the sky .... "
E 'with this sure hope that soon I entrusted my treasure and its healing in the hands of his loving Mother of Heaven. For words, clear and timeless of Jesus encourage us, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened", promising "whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you" and urged to implore tirelessly as the importunate widow of the Gospel (which - if only because of his insistence - will be answered). We
that the Queen of Heaven is with us ready to open up the doors of the vaults of thanks. She 's in fact, the refuge of the afflicted, and our wonderful advocate who can get all the Son. The very first miracle at Cana, he was softly "stolen" from her that he had pity on those poor people ...
These days I remembered the pages of Monfort and those of s. Alfonso Maria de 'Liguori, "The Glories of Mary." It 'amazing how two thousand years of holy men and women invite us to be certain of the relief of the Madonna because "he never heard that someone had recourse to your protection, implored your help has, has been looking for your help and has been abandoned " (S. Bernardo).
“Ogni bene, ogni aiuto, ogni grazia che gli uomini hanno ricevuto e riceveranno da Dio sino alla fine del mondo, tutto è venuto e verrà loro per intercessione e per mezzo di Maria” (s. Alfonso), perché così Dio ha voluto.
Infatti “nelle afflizioni tu consoli” chi in te confida, “nei pericoli tu soccorri” chi ti chiama: tu “speranza dei disperati e soccorso degli abbandonati”. Misero me se non la riconoscessi come Madre, convertendomi (questo significa: “sia fatta la tua volontà”) e lasciandomi guarire nell’anima. Per ottenere anche la guarigione del corpo.
Ma quanto è commovente accorgersi di avere una simile Mother feels when actually its protective mantle made by many brothers and sisters in faith, willing to help, by the Young Friends of Catherine, bright beautiful faces that share the Christian experience aroused by Giussani, from the many friends of parishes, communities, from the many cloistered convents and shrines - including radio and internet - where these days it begs the Virgin for Catherine. As no compassion?
I also received dozens of emails from people away from faith, for the emotion of the story of my daughter, have returned to pray, they move closer to the sacraments after year. And they understood to have a good Mother that you can pray and that does not disappoint. But it is especially
I want to speak of my conversion. We asked a total detachment from everything that is not the case and does not last. Because only God does not pass. That is, the love remains.
So when I learned about 4 000 children suffering from a leper colony in India, by the missionaries (men of God's beautiful and huge), they prayed for the healing of Catherine, after the excitement I realized that these children now belong me, my life and my family.
So did the poor taken care of the dying father Aldo Trento in Paraguay who have offered their sufferings for Catherine. I want to help as I can.
bringing all the pain of the world under the mantle of the Mother of God, I entrust to her the healing of Catherine, because return to sing "Ojos de cielo" for all the poor of our Queen.
"My Lady, you're the only consolation that God has given me the guidance of my pilgrimage, the strength of my weakness, the richness of my misery, the healing of my wounds, relieve my pain, the release of my chains, the hope of my salvation, answered my prayers, have pity on my sighs, thou that art my queen, the refuge and help, life, hope and my strength "(St. Germain).

"The real danger of our age is the loss of zest for life "(Teilhard de Chardin)
The manifesto of Communion and Liberation Spain

Will I be happy with an unexpected child? Can I start a new life with a child that I did not want? Will I be able to address the sacrifice and the difficulties that that entails? These are questions that many women ask themselves facing an unwanted pregnancy.
Often the woman is one of the questions that arise with their new life. Our tragedy is loneliness, because it is difficult to find someone willing to give us a minute of real human companionship in the face of difficult circumstances we face. But our loneliness is even more profound because it derives from the absence of meaning. Giving birth means getting in life, and for that you need a reason. As stated by Teilhard de Chardin: "The real danger of our age is the loss of zest for life" (Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, The Phenomenon of Man). The loss of the meaning of life is the cause of the tragedy of abortion in our social società.Il Bill of the Government of Spain is an example of this tragedy. In the name of "woman's right to decide" you leave it in a tragic loneliness. This led to the grotesque idea of \u200b\u200ba sixteen year old girl away from her son's father and the company his parents when they must make a decision that will mark his whole life. This loneliness is a wall, a lie that can only be dismantled through a company very umana.2. The draft law on abortion of the President Rodríguez Zapatero's main objective is to "create" a new law. Abortion is just the opposite. You deprive of life an unborn child. As claimed by the English bishops in their statement on the bill: "The State shall grant the status of a right to something that is actually an attack on the fundamental right to life", because nobody gives us life, but it comes from Mystery. In this will dig a deep wound in human and social development. With this law, moreover, political power is to foster a change of mentality in order to hide vital evidence of our civilization: every human life must be protected unconditionally. This claim is quite clear with absolute contempt towards people with disabilities, which would unfairly denied the right to be born until the last minute.
To speak of abortion as a right is necessary to alter brutally data of reason and science, published with absolute clarity in the Madrid Declaration, a document endorsed by prominent doctors and scientists of our country. With these words, Pier Paolo Pasolini denounced such alteration, referring to the defenders of the legalization of abortion in Italy: "They resort to the cynical abuse of the facts and common sense" (Pier Paolo Pasolini, "Sexual intercourse, abortion, the false tolerance of power, conformity progressives, "in Scritti pirates, Garzanti, Milano 1975, p. 372).
The Government would not dare take such a political initiative in the company if you were not a widespread mentality which, thanks to constant media pressure, it is increasingly alienated from reality. How is it that some people accept abortion as a law contrary to the evidence, with science, con la ragione e con la stessa sensibilità umana? È il risultato di una manipolazione e di un vuoto educativo. È perciò necessario ingaggiare una battaglia contro la concezione di una libertà senza vincoli, senza riferimento alla verità e senza contatto con la realtà. Si tratta di una battaglia politica, culturale ed educativa per creare nella nostra società, come ha chiesto Benedetto XVI, «un clima di gioia e di fiducia nella vita» (Viaggio apostolico di Benedetto XVI in Austria, Discorso in occasione dell’incontro con le autorità e con il corpo diplomatico, sala dei ricevimenti, Hofburg, Vienna, 7 settembre 2007).
Questa cultura della vita può rinascere se si mettono davanti agli occhi di of all significant events. Facts that constitute, in the first place, a real company for mothers in need. The number of services are already born by the free initiative of citizens, such as aid and accompaniment to women, and acceptance of those children whose mothers can not bear them. There is need for policies decided in favor of the family, maternity and adoption: measures that should create a social environment that encourages recognition of the infinite value of human life.
To restore faith in life and, therefore, the ability to accept and respect it at the same time they are born, we need to meet with an unconditional love, love someone who embraces our life with all its questions.
Recognize that there is a good thing that vanquishes all alone and all violence is possible only through meeting with people who bear witness with their lives. People who are the echo of the man from Nazareth who was able to accompany the loneliness of a young mother and her son return with these words: "Woman, do not cry."
