My secret name is much simpler than in reality could be summed up in two words: nostalgia for the sky.
Teresa of Avila, saint and Doctor of the Church, compared the life on earth "a sad night in a bad inn" and turning to God, saying, "no wonder you have so few friends, if you always treat so bad. "
I am more optimistic than Teresa and I believe that life can give us great joy to human through love, friendship, contemplation of the beauties of creation, art, music ...
At the same time, however, hoping that all these Things do not satiate the desire for happiness and endless love in my soul that is present and that no created good can exhaust: only God is enough, "said Augustine.
For a special grace, and entirely undeserved, this complete happiness I have met a few times, even for brief moments, and my heart has not seen Lost, feeling the sensation that comes from this land.
why I usually feel like a traveler is forced to live in a foreign land for a lifetime, but a traveler who retains the unwavering hope of one day return home.
immense loneliness I feel, therefore, is strictly proportional to the need for infinite happiness I feel in my heart and that only in heaven will be filled.
precisely this desire for infinite happiness is the best evidence of the existence of God, for me, and that, even before the existential level, on the metaphysical plane, because I think it is unreasonable that a person sentenced to hear inside her a need so deeply rooted in something that does not exist.
Sure, some might argue that the same need for unfulfilled happiness can lead to the creation of the idea of \u200b\u200ba God who exists only in the mind of man, and provide hope for happiness beyond this world illusory: if you come to own the complete happiness is not we need God
But this is a double-edged argument, the opposite is true: In fact, God knows that men are quickly forgotten about him already if they were perfectly happy on this earth. Loneliness is just one of the means he uses to draw us to Him
Well, yes: there are sufficient reasons to believe and not sufficient reason to believe, Pascal said, faith is always a gamble, a leap in the dark.
E 'for this reason that the truth as to the faith, it comes first in your heart that the intelligence is not conclusive evidence there will never be, because otherwise there would be no freedom of man.
A free person will always have many reasons to believe if you will have a minimum of will to believe, will not have anyone not want to believe.
freedom God gives us and asks us good will, but what we are willing to give?
