Remarks by the head of the Association Castel d'Acqua, Antoine Risticoni during celebration of Mass by Monsignor Brunin bishop for Corsica.
PE, since the beginning of the year is the 4th time I have the pleasure to meet you
but now this pleasure adds a touch of pride as it happens in my own village one hand and secondly because the association of which I am the manager is responsible for your visit.
I would like to tell you how much your presence flatters us and fills us with happiness bonheur.Ce is even bigger than St. Dominic that we celebrate today was a feast for relief. In San Gavino
we should have had two holidays because employers Two églises.Une dedicated to the saint whose village named San Gavino and the other: that we are dedicated to the Annunciation as we say. And yet for over 25 years in our village The festival is celebrated with more splendor is St. Dominic. By what alchemy
do we get there?
I can assure you that in the crucible of this transformation, or rather this change, there was no ignorance or neglect or even denial.
Regarding San Gavino people here know very well that this man was a Roman centurion, he was from Sardinia and has been a victim of the great persecution by the Emperor Diocletian ..
But what we want to retain priority in his life are his human qualities: his sense of deep listening, dialogue and justice with a strong determination and great courage.
When he was ordered to execute a group of people because of their membership of the new religion, rather than hiding behind the law, rather than blindly execute orders from above, this preferred centurion hear himself responsible people it must run in order to interact with lui.Il wants to know the atrocities and crimes they have committed to deserve the punishment and suprême.Toute the night before the day of execution he remained listening. Throughout that night he heard nothing but fair justice and love in the name of a certain centurion Jesus Gavino Nazareth.Le enthralled by what he heard was not obeying orders that it is unjust, much more he decides to embrace his own Christian faith. This earned him the martyr
is the saint that our forefathers had chosen as a model and they worshiped with great solemnity on 25 October. A few centuries later, the model kept still as attractive but rural depopulation
prevents the realization of a big party at that time because there the village is empty of its inhabitants.
We can still look to the Annunciation.
In this connection, I can say with certainty that many young people-who became for most moms or dads - know who is Mary.
This girl from Nazareth who lived simply, and that God had chosen.
This young girl who had other aspirations than those of girls of her age: start a family, have kids and live happily with her family.
The day at the fountain a man approached her and said: "Mary, I think that I love you" it is natural that a surge of adrenaline makes her blush, it drops her eyes and smiled.
Some time later when the Angel Gabriel visits him and tells him that she was chosen among all women to wear in her womb the son of God is more than an adrenaline rush that but this is a real "big bang" inside which completely revolutionized.
Mary understands that his destiny is not that girls of her age.
She understands that she has been chosen since forever.
She understands that something irrational is coming true: it will become the daughter of his own Son. It includes
especially as issues of all mothers will be added the problem of being the mother of God. Yet this young girl just accept with humility and nobility of facing all the happiness and all the trouble that this situation will generate.
few years later, at the foot of the Cross, kissing her son The last time that all of humanity that Mary holds in her arms.
There she becomes "our e Regina Madre universale" we sing with such fervor and love.
Mary's heart has become a rich source from which flows a stream of love kindness and love.
Mary's heart became more beautiful and larger than the largest and most beautiful of all the rainbows ..
These words referring to Mary have nothing personal property. I just plagiarize by mingling romance and some two poems about the Virgin. One of
them is very old. It dates from 13 ° is very siècle.Il Conn., has been translated into all languages of the world. This is an excerpt from the last song of Paradise of the Divine Comedy, the most famous masterpieces of Italian literature.
The other is much more récent.Il was written and set to music by a personal friend.
At the time when Father A. Baldini was in charge of this parish and where he sometimes asked me to conduct an expedited or catechetical training to take care of the preparation of the various ceremonies that came to celebrate, I learn what makes these young people singing and I told them the words that I just mentioned. I know they have been very sensitive for a long time and recently I heard them talk about them. Sometimes I even surprise some humming the song in the streets of the village as if it were a tube fashion. This means that
PE, again, there is no ignorance or forgetfulness or even reniement.Il is only one party at a time when the rural exodus removes any possibility to exist because it is a period where our village is empty of its inhabitants. And here is how
San Gavino with its two churches and two hypothetical fiestas found itself unable to meet all of its people around a large village feast.
Fortunately in the early 70's a special spirit blew through San Gavino.Grâce the enthusiasm and dedication of many of the people and the faith they had in what they were doing a stage was created.
In the spiral of this dynamic association is born and other summer activities have développées.Parmi them a holiday village with only a concert of songs Polyphonic bagpipes and a ball or disco that lasted until dawn.
Some members of the association in perfect agreement with Father A. Baldini, thought while in a Christian environment a village festival had to be of a religieux.L idea was submitted to the people who were immediately enthusiastic then mobilized for this project and it is this party where we celebrate today.
Initially everything was fine. The party aroused great enthusiasm in both its preparation and in its progress. Then for the needs of the Diocese Father Baldini was called ailleurs.Après his departure things have evolved more or less regulation bonheur.Le sometimes took precedence over the Word. St Dominic has lost its status as the village fete to become party organization called, to disappear with it.
With your presence today, PE alchemy I mentioned at the beginning finds its culmination. Now, even when the association disappear St Dominique continue. On the evening of that day people will no longer go on the stage listening to music and dance, but in the morning bells will peal rung to call people The top and bottom of the village and those of various hamlets to come and gather around the Eucharist. Before entering the church and out again all these people can meet, exchange a glance, a smile a handshake, get a new bise.Ils will take those who are absent because they are too old or sick or just selected by their professional obligations to be là.Il will talk about the weather this past or future . They may even decide to meet again because the holiday falls in the middle of their vacation and then they go home with the sun and the heart filled with joy.
This EP has only been possible because today you're here, among nous.Et is why we are proud and happy.
We are proud to have had the wonderful idea, one day, to ensure that our town festival takes place mostly around the Eucharist.
We are pleased to know that now thanks to "your desire and your will, I quote, to see the priest in charge of moderating the parish to celebrate the feast" that continue to exist for very long encore.Le main goal of our association is to ensure that people encounter in a spirit of genuine friendship will be done.
And that is why, PE, we express our gratitude and tell you a great, big thank you.
Since this is the moment of thanks I would like to turn to Father Christopher, our new priest moderator, who celebrated with us today for the first time but had already moved so nicely to keep our preparation and tell us what was and what was wrong.
Thanks also to Father Ambrose, a young priest from Senegal on holiday in our area and always willing to oblige.
Thanks also to John Deacon Vitus to have participated in this ceremony.
I do not want to forget all the people of the village for about twenty days together every evening for the preparation of this festival, musicians and professional chanteurs.Ils have nothing but their spontaneity and enthusiasm are an encouragement to poursuivre.Il there were maybe some false notes, but they participated, he did so with great enthusiasm and this is essential.
A special thank you to Richard guitariste.Tu've had a lot of patience but I saw that you did so with kindness pleasure. Thank you
doubly Anne Christine for having greatly increased our ceremony and above all, made particularly pleased to see a man of 99 years.
Everybody has understood that I speak of Vincent Pepe.
For several years he asked me to make you chanter.Mais life sometimes resembles a portion of cards in the sense that when you do not hand it participates in the game, but we are sometimes subjected not decide anything. Everyone wants that Vincent still lives in the village all very longtemps.Et we would celebrate its 100th anniversary by dedicating our Day August 8, 2009 and I would like to turn to the P. E. to say that if he found much to us and it is free that day he could return for the opportunity exceptionnelle.Notre centenary will be more than happy and us we will be faithful as well.
Thanks also to all the people of San Gavino and other villages that have shifted in number to participate in the Eucharist is the march towards interparoissialité.
It would be ungrateful to forget all the volunteers whether they are part of the association who were mobilized for the success of this fête.Quelqu for an outside light as many people spend lavishly and with as enthusiastically said you were a class of dinosaurs, understand by that: a species endangered.
In my case I want to tell you all my happiness of living with you at this time of the dinosaurs.
Finally mention that after the ceremony, everyone is invited to the cocktail and buffet offered jointly by the municipality and the association.
way we can stay together even longer.
We were very pleased and honored by the immediate acceptance of the Father Bishop returning to San Gavino August 8, 2009 to participate the centenary of Vincent Pepe.
We hope that there will already large crowd.
