The document discusses Stalin's "Second Revolution" in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. It aimed to 1) build socialism more fully, 2) defend socialism against external and internal threats, and 3) match Lenin's achievements. Stalin's revolution involved economic modernization through industrialization and collectivization, social transformation to create "Homo Sovieticus," and the establishment of a totalitarian one-party state and cult of personality. Key aspects included collectivization of agriculture into kolkhozes, industrialization through five-year plans, and the use of terror through the Great Purge.
Leonardo Da Vinci was born in 1452 in Italy and died in 1519 in France. He was a universal genius known for his expertise in various areas including fine arts, geometry, mechanics, and music. As an apprentice to artist Andrea Verrocchio at age 14, Da Vinci began painting and experimenting with oil paint techniques. In his youth he traveled to Milan and worked on projects for the Duke of Milan, and in his later years he worked independently and for King François I of France. Da Vinci was an incredible inventor who conceived ideas well ahead of his time, including designs for flying machines, parachutes, cranes, irrigation systems, and what would become the modern helicopter.

Imagine is a song by John Lennon about imagining a world without divisions of nation or religion, where all resources are shared in common. The song advocates for a borderless, stateless world of harmony and peace. It encourages listeners to imagine such a world where people live as one brotherhood.

VICO Indonesia needs a wireless telemetry system to monitor its oil and gas wells. Telkom proposes an integrated solution using APN service from Telkomsel, Telkom MPLS VPN IP, and telemetry equipment. This would provide accurate data transmission via GPRS to VICO's wells. It would also scale easily as VICO adds new wells. The solution presents advantages over alternatives like wiring or satellites. Telkom believes it can implement this successfully given Telkomsel's GPRS network coverage of VICO's fields.
The Pencil Maker tells the pencil that it needs to remember five things to become the best pencil it can be: 1) It must allow itself to be held and used by others. 2) It will experience sharpening which is necessary for improvement. 3) It can correct mistakes. 4) The most important part is what's inside. 5) It must continue writing no matter how difficult the situation. The pencil understands and promises to fulfill its purpose. The message is that people, like pencils, were created by God for a purpose and should allow themselves to be used by others and continue serving despite hardships.

DIA MUNDIAL DO MIGRANTE E DO REFUGIADO 2021Maike Loes
O documento defende que Deus criou todos os seres humanos como iguais e complementares, destinados a formar um "NÓS" cada vez maior. Pretende-se construir uma sociedade mais inclusiva onde não existam "os outros", mas apenas um único povo unido. A Igreja deve acolher a todos sem preconceitos para promover a comunhão entre pessoas de diversas origens.
JORNADA MUNDIAL DEL MIGRANTE Y DEL REFUGIADO 2021Maike Loes
El documento habla sobre la necesidad de construir un "Nosotros" cada vez más grande que incluya a toda la humanidad. Dios nos creó a todos como iguales, pero actualmente el mundo está fragmentado y marginan a los migrantes y refugiados. Debemos esforzarnos por derribar los muros entre las personas y construir puentes de encuentro para crear una comunión entre todos. El futuro depende de que trabajemos juntos como un solo pueblo para el cuidado de nuestro planeta y las generaciones futuras.
This document discusses the need for greater unity and inclusion among all people. It argues that God created humanity as both male and female in order to form a "we" that would grow together. However, today divisions exist that separate people into "them" and "those." The document calls for embracing diversity and building communion between all, including foreigners, migrants and refugees. It envisions an ever wider "we" that encompasses all of humanity as God intended. Borders should become places where people of different backgrounds encounter each other and form new bonds of shared humanity.

2. It encourages sisters to reflect on Pope Francis' message for the upcoming World Day of Migrants and Refugees, seeing migrants as fellow human beings in need of welcome and support.
3. It draws a parallel between the Holy Family's flight into Egypt to escape danger and the current reality of families forced to migrate and live as foreigners, urging sisters to support migrant brothers and sisters through welcome and non-judgement.
Messaggio della Consigliera per le Missioni_14 august 2021 engMaike Loes
The document is a letter from Sr. Alaide Deretti, Councilor for Missions, to her sisters reflecting on the figure of St. Joseph and the importance of the initial proclamation of Christ. She highlights how Joseph witnessed key events in Jesus' life like his birth and the visits of the shepherds and Magi. The initial proclamation is communicating one's personal encounter with Christ in order to transform lives and share joy with others. As FMAs, each sister should strive to renew her encounter with Christ daily and live her missionary life with greater joy and creativity, becoming a witness of God's love through her actions.

A carta discute São José como testemunha do primeiro anúncio de Jesus e como modelo para as Irmãs Salesianas. São José presenciou o nascimento de Jesus e encontros de Jesus com pastores, magos e outros. Da mesma forma, as Irmãs devem ser testemunhas do amor de Deus por meio de seus próprios encontros com Jesus e anúncios do Evangelho.

“Chi ha compiuto la volontà del padre?”
Dal Vangelo secondo Mt 21, 28-32
In quel tempo, disse Gesù ai principi dei sacerdoti e agli anziani del
popolo: «Che ve ne pare? Un uomo aveva due figli; rivoltosi al primo
disse: Figlio, và oggi a lavorare nella vigna. Ed egli rispose: Sì, signore; ma
non andò. Rivoltosi al secondo, gli disse lo stesso. Ed egli rispose: Non ne
ho voglia; ma poi, pentitosi, ci andò. Chi dei due ha compiuto la volontà
del padre?». Dicono: «L'ultimo».
E Gesù disse loro: «In verità vi dico: I pubblicani e le prostitute vi passano
avanti nel regno di Dio.
E` venuto a voi Giovanni nella via della giustizia e non gli avete creduto; i
pubblicani e le prostitute invece gli hanno creduto. Voi, al contrario, pur
avendo visto queste cose, non vi siete nemmeno pentiti per credergli».

2. Guardare Dio con un’altra ottica
Mi sono chiesto spesso cosa significhi “convertirsi”. Sì, lo sappiamo: significa cambiare vita, significa
smettere di compiere il male e iniziare decisamente a compiere il bene, significa cambiare
prospettiva, cambiare punto di vista e mettere al centro della nostra vita la Parola di Dio. Questo, a
livello teorico, cognitivo: ma…nella pratica? Un peccatore che si converte, vuol dire che da quel
momento in poi smette di peccare? Vuol dire che la sua vita, dal momento della conversione
(ammesso che la conversione coincida con un momento particolare, puntuale della vita di una
persona) cambia radicalmente e diventa una vita fatta esclusivamente di opere buone? Magari
sarò eccessivamente disfattista, però preferisco pensare con sano realismo, piuttosto che essere
talmente ingenuo da ritenere che una conversione comporti l’immediata irreprensibilità dei
comportamenti della persona che la attua: per cui, io sono convinto – e credo che non sia difficile
condividere questo mio pensiero – che chi si converte continua comunque a commettere sbagli
nella sua vita, continua comunque a peccare e continua comunque ad essere condizionato dai
limiti della natura umana.
Per questo, anche i pubblicani e le prostitute del tempo di Gesù, che ascoltando la predicazione di
Giovanni Battista (dice il Vangelo di oggi) credettero alla sua parola, non è affatto detto che
avessero – per questa sua parola – cambiato completamente la loro esistenza facendola divenire
un’esistenza di irreprensibilità e di santità: altrimenti, non si spiegherebbe perché, arrivato dopo il
Battista, Gesù si trovasse di fronte ancora un gran numero di pubblicani e prostitute che lo
ascoltavano e spesso lo seguivano nei suoi spostamenti, al punto da attirare la rabbia e il mormorio
dei farisei e dei religiosi del suo tempo. Ovvero, erano pubblicani e prostitute e continuavano,
probabilmente, a rimanere tali. Ma di certo, qualcosa di diverso in loro era avvenuto: nell’economia
del Regno di Dio, erano “passati avanti” agli irreprensibili religiosi ebrei loro contemporanei.
Cosa era cambiato, in loro? Cos’era avvenuto? In che cosa è consistita la loro conversione? Più in
generale: a partire dalla loro vicenda, possiamo comprendere meglio che cosa sia la conversione?
Io penso proprio di sì. Togliamoci innanzitutto dalla testa che convertirsi significhi non peccare più.
Convertirsi significa cambiare direzione, cambiare prospettiva, cambiare modo di vedere le cose, al
di là di quelli che continueranno ad essere o cesseranno di essere i nostri errori. Significa iniziare a
guardare le cose da un altro punto di vista, e soprattutto verso un’altra direzione. Fino a quando lo
sguardo sarà rivolto a noi stessi, alla nostra vita, e non si alzerà mai a guardare in un’altra direzione,
dove – per chi crede – c’è un Dio che ama, che è giusto, che è misericordioso, che ci chiede sì di
compiere la sua volontà, ma perché ci vuole bene e sa cos’è il bene per noi…ecco, allora dalla
nostra misera situazione umana non ne usciremo più, e non ci sarà salvezza. Al di là della bontà delle
nostre opere e della rettitudine delle nostre azioni: perché non è la formale irreprensibilità dei nostri
comportamenti che ci salva, di fronte a Dio, ma la capacità di guardare verso di lui, consapevoli dei
nostri limiti.
Tanto i pubblicani e le prostitute, quanto i farisei e i dottori della legge, sono peccatori; ma mentre i
primi, di fronte al messaggio di salvezza del Battista e di Gesù, hanno il coraggio di alzare lo sguardo
e di smetterla di rivolgerlo solo verso la propria sterile miseria (e per questo trovano la salvezza), i
secondi continuano a ritenere che il loro sguardo rivolto verso se stessi e verso le loro opere perfette
e giuste sia l’unica condizione per la salvezza, per cui non sentono neppure la necessità di
convertirsi, cioè di guardare nella direzione del Dio misericordioso che ama l’uomo
indipendentemente dalle opere che compie. Per questo non si salvano: perché – come gli operai
della prima ora di domenica scorsa – ragionano con Dio come con un retribuitore automatico di
grazie (“ti do tanto, mi devi tanto, possibilmente più che agli altri”), e non con un Padre che accoglie
chi comunque sbaglia ma alza lo sguardo verso di lui.
3. “Chi ha compiuto la volontà del padre?”
I due fratelli, non sono poi così diversi: entrambi non hanno voglia di “obbedire” ma
uno dei due però si pente e “disobbedisce a se stesso” per fare la volontà del Padre
che è vita: ricordiamo che a quell’epoca lavorare era sopravvivenza. Oggi quante
volte non abbiamo voglia e quante invece dobbiamo forzarci per assolvere a dei
doveri: ci possiamo permettere di lavorare solo quando ne abbiamo voglia?Possiamo
studiare solo quando ne abbiamo voglia o accudire i nostri cari quando ne abbiamo
voglia? Spiritualmente non c’è un Padre che ti licenzia se non assolvi al tuo lavoro; che
ti boccia se non studi o ti rinfaccia che non lo ami. L’obbedienza a Dio è prima di tutto
guadagnare per la propria vita la pienezza, la serenità, la pace, la libertà. Fare la Sua
Volontà e non la nostra, anche se è dura da digerire a volte è fidarsi e affidarsi nella
Mani di Colui che sa ancor prima che glielo chiedi ciò di cui hai bisogno.
Dio è proprio l’opposto di ciò che essi pensano: non mette al primo posto i primi, o meglio coloro che
si ritengono tali in virtù delle loro opere buone (e che bisogno c’è, se già sono primi?), ma gli ultimi,
coloro che sanno bene di essere ultimi, che sono ben consapevoli di aver detto di “no” a Dio in
molte occasioni per poi riuscire comunque, alla fine, a fare la sua volontà, come il primo dei due figli
della parabola. Allora, i pubblicani e le prostitute davvero “passano avanti nel Regno di Dio” ai
dottori della legge e ai capi del popolo.
E non pensiamo al Regno “che verrà”: pensiamo al Regno di Dio oggi, a quell’insieme di spazio e di
tempo, di relazioni umane vere e sincere nelle quali Dio privilegia e mette “davanti”, al primo posto,
quelli che i regni di questo mondo mettono all’ultimo perché pubblicamente ed evidentemente
reietti, prostituiti, venduti al male. Capaci, tuttavia, di “convertirsi”, di cambiare prospettiva, di
guardare le cose in maniera diversa, ossia nella direzione in cui le guarda Dio.
C’è speranza che cambino anche coloro che si ritengono giusti di fronte a Dio, anche noi, operai
brontoloni della prima ora, figli ruffiani che fingiamo di obbedire al Padre? Senza dubbio, ma lo sforzo
è notevole, occorre uno svuotamento, una spogliazione totale, una kènosis, come dice Paolo nella
seconda lettura di oggi riferendosi alla natura divina di Gesù. Diamine, c’è riuscito lui che non ne
aveva necessità e l’ha fatto solo per lasciarci un esempio…vogliamo, una buona volta, metterci
d’impegno e fare altrettanto?
