Sua Eccellenza, Vescovo, mons Angelo Spinillo, Presidente della Giuria del Premio Cordici, ci ha inviato anche quest'anno una poesia densa spirituality and emotions.
I am pleased to share with the people of the Prize Cordici.
Greetings to all, Luciana

"Loyalty to Christ, faithful to the priesthood"
Holy Birth of Our Lord 2009
"Glory to God for peace men
"Come, come, let us worship ..."
At the four corners of the earth comes the new voice
man, awakened by the deadly torpor of indifference,
calls his brother: "... let's go to Bethlehem."
Bethlehem, House of Bread,
you in the land has become altar
a natural shelter is now the temple of the Lord's glory.
Here the streets converge,
dispersed humanity is caught in a new people.
the straw of the world has offered the sacrifice for the alliance:
the faithful God brings to completion the word of life,
gives his Son,
enshrined forever in faithfulness to the Father.
In your arms extended over the manger,
poor sign of welcome human
between the bands that surround you, baby Jesus,
lives the priestly act of the offer.
And You, the full glory of the Father,
that come to us as the light of grace and truth,
welcome and present to God, even our poor gifts
and allow our arms rise up with your
with you and we do priests
with you we devote to offer love
because the land is submerged and live in the sky.
