Eccli 51:1-8; 51:12
Laudábit usque ad mortem ánima mea Dóminum: quóniam éruis sustinéntes te, et líberas eos de mánibus géntium, Dómine, Deus noster.
Matt 25:1-13
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Simile erit regnum coelórum decem virgínibus: quæ, accipiéntes lámpades suas, exiérunt óbviam sponso et sponsæ.
Abbiamo sentito ancora una volta la parabola delle 10 vergini. L’obbiettivo della nostra vita e’ l’incontro con Dio. Dobbiamo conservare l’olio, lo Spirito Santo, trasmesso attraverso i sacramenti impartiti dalla Chiesa.
Si tratta di celebrare la festa eterna di nozze con Gesu Cristo,
Oggi ricordiamo Santa Caterina d’Alessandria (Alessandria d’Egitto Egitto, 287 – Alessandria d’Egitto Egitto, 305[1]) vergine e martire dalla Chiesa cattolica vissuta nei primissimi secoli del cristianesimo. Datasi in sposa mistica e Gesu’ Cristo, e quindi votatasi alla castita’, rifiuto’ il matrimonio con il governatore romano, e quindi pagano, dell’Egitto.
Incarcerata e condannata a morte, ebbe una visione mistica: Gesu’ bambino che le offriva un anello.
Uscita dall’estasi Caterina si trovo l’anello al dito! Questi si chiama nella tradizione della Chiesa “Matrimonio Mistico“. Nel corso della storia successiva della Chiesa questa esperienza estatica e’ stata sperimentata anche da altre sante.
Si tratta dell’unione mistica con Nostro Signore, che corrisponde alla piu’ alta espressione della fede, una unione che coinvolge tutta la persona.
Cerchiamo anche noi di maturare in questa dimensione suprema della fede. Non importa se siamo consacrati o meno.
Questa e’ la dimensione che il Signore stesso puo’ aiutarci a conseguire: l’unione di intenti, di pensiero, parole e atti con Lui! In modo da avere per noi la lampada (lo Spirito Santo che accende la nostra fede) che splende in noi fino all’ultimo momento!
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

Sir 51:1-8; 5:12
My soul shall praise the Lord even to death; because You, O Lord, our God, save those who take refuge in You, and rescue them out of the hands of the nations.
Gospel Matt 25:1-13.
At that time Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: “Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride.
We have once again heard the parable of the 10 virgins. The goal of our life is the encounter with God. We must conserve the oil, the Holy Spirit, transmitted through the sacraments imparted by the Church. It is about celebrating the eternal feast of marriage with Jesus Christ.
Today we remember Saint Catherine of Alexandria (Alexandria Egypt Egypt, 287 – Alexandria Egypt Egypt, 305 [1]) virgin and martyr of the Catholic Church who lived in the very first centuries of Christianity. Having given herself in mystical wife and Jesus to Christ, and therefore devoted to chastity, she refused marriage with the Roman, and therefore pagan, governor of Egypt.
Imprisoned and sentenced to death, she had a mystical vision: baby Jesus offering her a ring. When Catherine comes out of ecstasy, I find the ring on her finger!
This is called in the tradition of the Church “Mystical Marriage“.
In the course of the subsequent history of the Church, this ecstatic experience was also experienced by other saints.
It is a question of the mystical union with Our Lord, which corresponds to the highest expression of faith, a union that involves the whole person.
Let us also try to mature in this supreme dimension of faith. It doesn’t matter if we are consecrated or not.
This is the dimension that the Lord himself can help us achieve: the union of intentions, thoughts, words and deeds with him! In order to have for us the lamp (the Holy Spirit who lights up our faith) that shines in us until the last moment!
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!

Evangelium Matt 25:1-13
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Simile erit regnum coelórum decem virgínibus: quæ, accipiéntes lámpades suas, exiérunt óbviam sponso et sponsæ. Quinque autem ex eis erant fátuæ, et quinque prudéntes: sed quinque fátuæ, accéptis lampádibus, non sumpsérunt óleum secum: prudéntes vero accepérunt óleum in vasis suis cum lampádibus. Horam autem faciénte sponso, dormitavérunt omnes et dormiérunt. Média autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce, sponsus venit, exíte óbviam ei. Tunc surrexérunt omnes vírgines illae, et ornavérunt lámpades suas. Fátuæ autem sapiéntibus dixérunt: Date nobis de óleo vestro: quia lámpades nostræ exstinguúntur. Respondérunt prudéntes, dicéntes: Ne forte non suffíciat nobis et vobis, ite pótius ad vendéntes, et émite vobis. Dum autem irent émere, venit sponsus: et quæ parátæ erant, intravérunt cum eo ad núptias, et clausa est iánua. Novíssime vero véniunt et réliquæ vírgines, dicéntes: Dómine, Dómine, áperi nobis. At ille respóndens, ait: Amen, dico vobis, néscio vos. Vigiláte ítaque, quia nescítis diem neque horam.
Gospel Matt 25:1-13.
At that time Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: “Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride. Five of them were foolish and five wise. But the five foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, while the wise did take oil in their vessels with the lamps. Then as the bridegroom was long in coming, they all became drowsy and slept. And at midnight a cry arose, ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming, go forth to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ The wise answered, saying, ‘Lest there may not be enough for us and for you, go rather to those who sell it, and buy some for yourselves.’ Now while they were gone to buy it, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Finally there came also the other virgins, who said, ‘Sir, sir, open the door for us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Amen I say to you, I do not know you.’ Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

Dunque, dopo aver negato alla Congregazione della Fede il diritto di utilizzare dati scientifici ed essersi serviti di dati (pseudo) scientifici per asserire una verità morale, è giunto il momento per i redattori della Dichiarazione di sostituirsi alla Congregazione per la Fede come suprema autorità morale e di proclamarlo su internet ai cattolici di tutto il mondo.

Guest essay by Larry Hamlin (*)
In February 2016 climate scientist Dr. John Christy presented testimony to Congress demonstrating that climate models grossly exaggerate and over estimate the impact of atmospheric CO2 levels on global temperatures . Dr. Christy noted in his testimony that “models over-warm the tropical atmosphere by a factor of approximately 3″.
NOAA climate activist scientist Dr. Gavin Schmidt challenged Dr. Christy’s work claiming that it was “partisan” and using vague statistical arguments claimed that Christy’s work improperly presented the performance of climate models. These claims by government scientist Dr. Schmidt peaked the interest of statistics expert Steven McIntyre who was one of the most prominent experts to expose the flawed science (proxy shenanigans) and mathematics (statistical errors) behind the now disgraced thousand year long global temperature profile infamously known as the “hockey stick” (https://climateaudit.files.wordpress.com/2005/09/ohioshort.pdf).
Mr. McIntyre conducted a review of Dr. Schmidt’s claims (https://climateaudit.org/2016/05/05/schmidts-histogram-diagram-doesnt-refute-christy/) noting that his analysis evaluates the diagram used by Schmidt allegedly supporting his claims against Christy by “first discussing the effect of some sleight-of-hand and then showing that Schmidt’s diagram, after removing the sleight-of-hand and when read by someone familiar with statistical distributions, confirms Christy rather than contradicting him.”
Additionally Mr. McIntyre provided expert findings of his review of the statistical results of Dr. Christy’s work as showing that climate models were indeed “over warm” in their projections as follows:
McIntyre concluded:
“The bottom line is that Schmidt’s diagram does not contradict Christy after all, and, totally fails to support Schmidt’s charges that Christy’s diagram was “partisan”.”
Climate scientist Dr. Judith Curry has prepared a new presentation (highlighted in 56 slides) on climate issues (https://curryja.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/spe-curry-final.pdf) which addresses many climate science topics including global temperatures and the growing divergence between actual temperature measurements and the overly warm exaggerated temperature projections of climate models.
She notes in her presentation that the latest 2013 UN IPCC AR5 climate report presented information showing (slide #24) how climate models over state and exaggerate projections of global temperatures versus actual measured data. Dr. Christy’s Congressional testimony data on climate model global temperature exaggerations is also included in her presentation (slide #25).
In addition to climate models over exaggerating global temperature projections these models also have failed to account for the behavior and impact of major natural climate variation events such as those associated with ENSO as discussed in the Watts Up With That article “Once Again El Nino Didn’t Do What Was Forecast. Why?.
In his article Dr. Ball notes that
“The IPCC claimed with 90% certainty that global warming is due to human CO2. Lack of data combined with omission or lack of understanding of major mechanisms are major reasons why all past, present, and future predictions are wrong. The same is true of major events within the Earth/atmosphere system like El Nino or ENSO. As it is more frequently said these days, if your predictions are wrong the science is wrong.”
Naturally occurring El Nino events have and continue to influence increasing global temperatures and temperature trends and have done so multiple times every decade. (http://ggweather.com/enso/oni.htm).
Dr. Curry’s presentation provides global temperature data that show natural climate variation associated with the strong El Nino’s of 1997-1998 and 2015-2016 as well as other smaller El Nino events have major impacts on recent increasing global temperatures and temperature trends (slide #13). Some climate alarmists have claimed that man made CO2 emissions are causing recent increasing global temperatures and temperature trends but these claims inappropriately ignore the significant strong EL Nino influences on recent temperatures.
The impact of El Nino events is present in both surface temperature and atmospheric temperature data measurements (slide
#14) as well.
Climate alarmist media such as The New York Times drone on about recent record high global temperatures in 2016 being caused by man made CO2 emissions. (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/20/science/2016-global-warming-record-temperatures-climate-change.html?_r=0 ) However these alarmist claims are based upon arbitrarily minimizing and understating the importance of the strong El Nino of 2015-2016 as the driving force behind these recent warming temperatures and temperature trends as clearly illustrated in Dr. Curry’s presentation.
Analysis of global temperature data shows clear exaggeration and over statement of projected temperatures by climate models versus actual measurements as demonstrated by both Dr. Christy and Dr. Curry’s work. Additionally the significant impact of natural climate events, such as El Nino’s, on recent global temperatures and temperature trends is clearly evident but unaddressed in climate model results as noted by Dr. Ball.
Climate alarmist scientists and media seek to downplay and ignore the demonstrated failures of climate models to provide valid temperature projections as blatantly exposed by the ever increasing temperature divergence of these models results from actual measurements as well as for these models failures to address natural climate event impacts such as El Nino’s.
Dr. Curry notes that the climate change issue is a “wicked” one (slide #46) and that both the problem and solution have “been vastly oversimplified”. Proposing costly and bureaucratically burdening climate policy actions based on poorly performing and scientifically inadequate climate models is simply not justified.
