Dear friends:
With great enthusiasm and some nervousness, we can finally invite you to explore the new feadulta.com portal. As we tell you many times, we build this portal together with all of you. On this occasion we ask for your help to detect possible broken links while browsing the new website. You can report them through the mini-form below.
We remind you of the video from the online meeting for feadulta.com’s 20th anniversary. It tells the story of the motivations that led to creating this portal and gathers testimonies from collaborators, volunteers and readers who have made this cause their own.
And it is sustained by all of us together. If you believe that feadulta is a great idea that must continue to exist, help us grow. We have created a very easy contribution method that can be activated from any country by credit card. Let’s go for another 20 years growing with your help!
For the summer, there are two proposals on the Notice Board.
Gospel and Gospel commentaries
Mt 10, 26-33. So do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be made known.
Miguel Ángel Munárriz Casajús: Good and Evil. In the Gospel, good is identified with what helps us walk toward our destiny.
José Luis Sicre: Sunday 12 of Ordinary Time. Cycle A. Neither fear of speaking nor fear of dying, and courage to confess Jesus.
Enrique Martínez Lozano: Always Trust. The great wisdom and spiritual traditions constantly invite us to live in confidence.
Fray Marcos: Your True Self is Inviolable. From everything else you must free yourself.
José Antonio Pagola: Freeing Our Communities from Fear. Christian sources present Jesus dedicated to freeing people from fear.
Fidel Aizpurúa Donazar: You Are Worth More Than Sparrows. Let us not doubt it: the success of life is to enter into the heart of the other. Until that happens, life has not reached its true goal.
Rosario Ramos: Do Not Fear Them. These verses from Matthew place us before two deeply human and antagonistic experiences at the same time: fear and confidence. Following Jesus cannot be sustained by fear but by confidence and courage in knowing ourselves sustained and rooted in a movement of love that creates us at every moment.
Articles selected for the week
José Manuel Vidal: The Lion Who Became Great in Spain. In the midst of a climate of growing polarization, the Pope has been seen as a bearer of the ethics of common sense, which is so much needed.
Frei Betto: ‘Magnifica humanitas’: The 10 Innovations of Leo XIV’s Encyclical for the Digital World. With this document, the Pope demonstrates that innovation does not mean abandoning tradition, but applying it with courage to the signs of the times.
Santiago Villamayor: Christianity’s Hara-kiri?: Self-criticism in the Catholic Church, in light of Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Spain. We ask ourselves which Jesus is the true one or reference point: the one of his sparse biography, the one of his divinization, or the one of his wisdom of life.
Jesús Lozano Pino: Holiness Today: Models of Christian Life in the 21st Century. Against the obsession with perfection and false enlightened ones, the wonderful freedom of knowing ourselves imperfect but loved.
Gerardo Villar: Everyone Applauded… We normally argue in defense of our opinions. What is good is to go together in search of the truth.
Jaume Patuel: Good Humor. Good humor is not just a superficial attitude or a spontaneous reaction; it is, from deep psychology, a complex psychic function that reflects inner balance and the capacity to integrate tensions.
José Miguel Martínez Castelló: Dialectic of Secularization: Citizenship, Religion and Democracy. Following Leo XIV’s speech in Parliament, we question whether it is legitimate for a religious leader to speak in the house of national sovereignty when we are a secular state.
Carmen Gómez-Cotta: A Manual for Understanding Maddened Geopolitics. The liberal international order we were accustomed to has changed. It is an assertion that analysts and political scientists have been making for some years now, but when did that transformation begin? What characterizes it and where does it lead us?
Breaking News. With his visit to the Canary Islands, Pope Leo XIV shakes Europe’s conscience regarding the migration crisis.
For more participatory and current Eucharists

Florentino Ulibarri: To You I Give the Keys. I make you gatekeeper of hopes and projects; in your hands I place all creation.

A Higher Frequency. By Eckhart Tolle. If you keep your attention on the body whenever possible, you will be anchored in the Now. You will not lose yourself in the external world or in the mind. Thoughts and emotions, fears and desires, may still be present to some degree, but they will no longer take hold of you…
Hold On to Life. By Rozalén. Illusion can return and hold on to life!! Impressive and beautiful song that sensitizes us. Thank you for lighting a light in our hearts on a taboo subject that can give more visibility to our mental and emotional well-being and that for many people living a hell can bring them light and love.
Salomé Arricibita: Creative Heartbeat. A few days ago we celebrated the feast of the Sacred Heart. For me, since childhood, a cherished and important date. I want to thank with this song everything I have received throughout my life from the Religious of the Sacred Heart. Strong women in the style of the Gospel, they have been and are a reference, a channel of God and nourishment for my hope. Thank you for being Creative Heartbeat in my life and in so many, many lives.
The Powerful Hymn of Courage Against Fear in Persecution. By Father Fernando Morales. In the world you will have struggles, slander, persecution and many difficulties. But do not fear, for here I am.
Equipo Quiero Ver: Between the Noise and Hope. We live in an era full of noise, opinions and hurry. In the midst of all that, it is not always easy to remain faithful to what one thinks, to what one dreams or to what gives meaning to one’s life. This reflection invites us to look at our reality with sincerity and to discover that authenticity and confidence are still possible.
And I Sought. By Rozalén. Inspirational song-meditation: “The answer was within me,” wonderful song performed before the Pope.
At EFFA School we provide the link to the curriculum where all the talks and available bibliography are found, for those who have not been able to see them or want to review any of them again. The link to access the latest videos that have been uploaded may also be useful.
And, as I promised you, the letters will end with these three links: this week’s letter, last week’s letter and letters from other weeks. When someone loses—or hasn’t received—the email with the updates, they can use an old letter to access the new one.
A hug,
Inma Calvo
