An extraordinary archaeological discovery occurred in the Israeli prison of Megiddo, where an 1,800-year-old mosaic was found. It contains one of the earliest Christian inscriptions that declares, ‘Jesus is God.’ The mosaic, dated to 230 AD, also includes images of fish that allude to the biblical episode in Luke 9:16, where Jesus multiplied two fish to feed 5,000 people. “We’re truly excited to be the first to have ever seen something like this—to experience what was created nearly 2,000 years ago by a man named Brutius, the incredible craftsman who laid this pavement here” a representative stated.

At Cornelius’s House: Acts 10 Becomes a Website
The title which might initially seem targeted only at specialists or insiders is actually an invitation to recognise a profound truth. Very often, the Spirit of the Lord has already preceded us in history. Just as with Peter in the house of the centurion Cornelius (cf. Acts 10:1-44), the Spirit has been at work in countless lives, moving men and women who have docilely opened themselves to His action—thereby discovering that God shows no partiality. This profound conviction serves as the foundation for the website acasadicornelio.it. The platform is dedicated entirely to the Word of God and the transformative work…

Toward Easter with Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini
As Holy Week approaches, the Martini Foundation proposes to listen again to the audios from the 1983-1984 School of the Word: meditations beginning with Psalm 50 (51), which Martini wanted to place under the title “Path of Reconciliation.” Martini’s reflection leads to “making us more attentive and responsible about the problems of human and cosmic reconciliation,” because “there can be no true, lasting, stable social and political reconciliation among men, peoples, nations, without conversion of heart.” Words that seem particularly relevant in the times we are living, marked by conflict, polarization and resistance to ask for and grant forgiveness.

The Conversion of Saul to Paul: An Ever-Present Experience
On Jan. 25, the liturgical feast of the conversion of St. Paul, TV2000, a television channel of the Italian Bishops’ Conference, will features stories that narrate the irruption of divine grace into the lives of people of all times. Testimonies that emphasize how much the experience of “conversion” (or “revelation”) involving the apostle of the Gentiles is not just a narrative device of Luke in the Acts of the Apostles or of Paul himself in his letters, but is the experience of that unprecedented encounter with God that can concern many others and that always changes existence. It is sad,…
