Raffaello Palandri's Blog

To avoid prejudice, fear, and ignorance we should not be quick to judge others, prone to resentment, or slow in welcoming changes.

Sveta Petka (Prepodobna mati Paraskeva) – Paraskeva of the Balkans

Myrela

Sveta Petka ili Prepodobna mati Paraskeva bila je hrišćanska vizantijska podvižnica iz 11. vijeka. Svetiteljka je ime Petka dobila (od Srba) po danu u nedjelji – petku. Rodila se u tadašnjem selu Epivatu, kod tadašnjeg grada Kalistratije, koji se nalazi na obali Mramornog mora između Silimvrije i Carigrada, u Trakiji polovinom 10. vijeka. Poticala je iz imućne i pobožne porodice. Imala je brata, koji se zvao Jevtimije, i koji se zamonašio veoma mlad, da bi kasnije postao episkop Maditski (989—996) i svetitelj u gradu Maditu kod Galipolja.

Još kao djevojčica, dok je sa majkom odlazila u crkvu, ona je bila veoma pobožna. Nakon smrti svojih roditelja, željna podvižničkog života, ona napusti roditeljski dom i ode u Carigrad, gde se zamonaši u crkvi Svete Sofije i dobije ime “Paraskeva”, a zatim se zaputi u Jordansku pustinju, živeći strogim asketskim životom, gde se radi Hrista podvizavala sve do svoje starosti.

Once again, by way of disclaimer, the overall goal is now to explain why we need both equ. + justice, & why in 4 phases.  This chapter is part of showing what Phases I-IV could look like as potential roadmap for a fully inclusive society for all of us.  This vision is laid out in the hope that All HumanKind  will eventually have each person’s basic needs  met, without taking anything from anyone, and without violence, intimidation, nor coercion of any kind.

COP26 – Appel à l’action ! Nous devons tous revoir notre rapport à la nature et réorienter notre association avec le consumérisme ! 

Barbara Crane Navarro

« Je ne vois pas de délégation pour les quatre pattes. Je ne vois pas de siège pour les aigles. Nous oublions et nous nous considérons supérieurs. Mais nous ne sommes après tout qu’une partie de la création. Et nous devons considérer cela pour comprendre où nous en sommes. Et nous nous tenons quelque part entre la montagne et la fourmi. Quelque part et seulement là comme partie intégrante de la création. »

  • Le chef Oren Lyons, Nation Seneca, dans une allocution aux organisations non gouvernementales des Nations Unies, Genève, Suisse, 1977

« Les 500 dernières années ont vu une ‘réorganisation rapide, continue et radicale de la vie sur Terre sans précédent géologique’ – l’arrivée du colonialisme européen, de l’impérialisme et de l’expansion associée des systèmes économiques capitalistes conduisant au transfert de maladies, de plantes, d’animaux, de formes de l’utilisation des terres et des systèmes administratifs à tous les coins du…
