EDITORIAL

The Word of God Every Day: This is the title of the book edited by Mons. Vincenzo Paglia proposing a continuous reading of the Scripture with short and meaningful comments. The �thread� of the daily reading and listening of the Word of God accompanies the Community of Sant�Egidio wherever it is: �Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path� says Psalm 119. This book is a way to get closer to the pages of the Scripture: Alessandro Zuccari writes in the introduction to the book: �Confusion and the fast rhythms of life are so taking that make it difficult to find a space for reflection and prayer. Some other times it may be hard to find the right words to address ourselves to the Lord. Nevertheless Jesus says to the disciples that �at all time they ought to pray�.

At the heart of many events, of various experiences and numerous concerns (the cure to AIDS, the news about Safiya case, the new space for the �Friends without limits�, the commemoration of the Sho� and the rally against the resurgent anti-Semitism, the new expression of solidarity with Africa, the meeting with the Muslim during Ramadan and so much more�), at the very heart of our Communities, lies the reading and listening of the Word of God. Listening becomes a path, day after day, starting from the Advent that the Church celebrates recalling us all to the fundamental dimension of waiting and indicating the way to the Christmas of the Lord.
