The Challenge Of Life Is To Learn How To Love

From My Point Of View, God Is The Light That Illuminates The Darkness, Even If It Does Not Dissolve It, And A Spark Of Divine Light Is Within Each Of Us.

We Can Inspire Others Through Witness So That One Grows Together In Communicating. But The Worst Thing Of All Is Religious Proselytism, Which Paralyses: 'i Am Talking With You In Order To Persuade You.' No. Each Person Dialogues, Starting With His And Her Own Identity. The Church Grows By Attracting, Not Proselytizing.

There Are Saints In The Roman Curia, Among The Cardinals, Priests, Religious, Sisters And Laity. They Work Hard, And Also Do Things That Are Often Hidden. I Know Some Who Concern Themselves With Feeding The Poor Or Who Give Up Their Free Time To Work In A Parish. As Always, The Ones Who Aren't Saints Make The Most Noise ... A Single Tree Falling Makes A Sound, But A Whole Forest Growing Doesn't.

Sometimes We Are Tempted To Be That Kind Of Christian Who Keeps The Lord’s Wounds At Arm’s Length. Yet Jesus Wants Us To Touch Human Misery, To Touch The Suffering Flesh Of Others. He Hopes That We Will Stop Looking For Those Personal Or Communal Niches Which Shelter Us From The Maelstrom Of Human Misfortune And Instead Enter Into The Reality Of Other People’s Lives And Know The Power Of Tenderness. Whenever We Do So, Our Lives Become Wonderfully Complicated And We Experience Intensely What It Is To Be A People, To Be Part Of A People.
