23. How to make prayer you asked?

 Man is capable of God ultimately. Ultimately and at first look. 

Obviously I’m also referring to woman, of course. What I mean is that we human people have a primordial thirst for God. And even more nowadays, in our dear afflicted world. 

Why so? Why this interior searching for God? Just because we have been made that way, by God himself. He has created us in that certain way. 

We exteriorly may not show we do need him, but when you have a conversation with a friend for example, a profound one, you ultimately reach that fundamental thirst for God. 

And we are capable to seek him, to admit in our interior that we aspire to him. And, well, we can treat him, we can talk with him. That’s prayer. And I mean with and not only to, for he responds. It is not like a voice you hear with your ears, but he talks in our interior. 

Some posts ago I told you that there is – or was, I hope still is there – a chapel in our dear Gibraltar, south of Spain and belonging to the UK, a chapel with the Host in a monstrance, the Eucharist. 

And we Catholics believe God is in the Host, for he Jesus Christ told us at the Last Supper, This is my body, etcetera, and you can find it at the last chapters of the Gospels and in Saint Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, the first one I think to remember. 

And we may talk to him as we talk to our mom, or dad, or a close friend. And he is there all the time, at disposal of anyone who wishes to tell him about his or her stuff. Man is capable of God. And God capable to meet all his needs. Have a nice day, fellow readers.

17. Something else on finding happiness along the way

  Today I wanted to write on some perspectives on happiness from what I’ve read and thought of lately, and pushed in some way by the pursuing of happiness everyone commits to.  Happiness is something one cannot try to accomplish on its own, but something you encounter when you live with plenitude and in accordance to your nature.  If someone seeks to be happy, that person may not reach it – it’s more something that ensues when you fulfill what you are for, when you live in accordance to what you are.  You know, great Aristotle used to say that you are happy when you acquire virtues, like hard-working, love to others, sincerity and honesty, fortitude, joy, solidarity, generosity, endurance capability, abnegation, professionalism, etcetera. Virtues let you carry out a life that is worth living it. They let you carry out what’s good and that with facility and liberty. You can choose what is upright just because you wish to do it.  Alejandro Llano was a Spanish phil...

14. Do you like the work you carry out every single day?

  With these posts I try to shed some light on everyday issues (if possible). Because this our dear world needs some optimistic view, this afflicted world of ours. Let’s see, with my reads help.  To be optimistic we need a firm base to build that optimism upon. And – good news – we can count on God. On him and on man – I believe we can count on man too, for this latter one can give very good solutions to our afflicted world. It’s what you get when reading Jutta Burggraf (1952-2010). She is so great a writer – well, she was, I mean.  And God has a plan or project for every one of us, indeed he has. And now we’ve got to discover it.  Each person has a vocation, now to be discovered. Do you know yours? God calls and summons each one of us. That can also give a message of hope for people, for our world.  Each human person is free, as you know, and thus he or she has to write their own biography: we have the mission of fulfilling our personal project or vocation. Don...

13. Where is happiness, is it far from here?

  What is a man, a woman? You are, I am what we do, what we think of, what we read, what we love. I am free so ultimately I am what I do.  And what I do in a repeated way constitutes a habit. And I can do good things, or otherwise evil things. I can build up virtues or otherwise vices. I can be an honest, hard-working, loving, attentive, generous, committed, friendly man, or otherwise all the contrary. Well, also I do good and bad things, as any person does.  You can find about this in old Aristotle, or in more modern Jutta Burggraf. A happy man or a happy woman are the ones that have virtues, that act in accordance with human dignity, and we are (let’s not forget it) sons and daughters of God.  And we can let God lead our boat, the one each person is. I can let God direct my life: I can count on him. Once someone told Saint John Paul II he was an atheist, and the Pope responded, You feel so bad when you don’t have God!  We can feel and be happy, that’s today’s ...
