31. Jesus Christ for common man and woman. Some experience

 Did you ever see God? Nobody did indeed. But we believe in him, and he has revealed himself, sure thing. Well a lot of people did see Jesus Christ, some two thousand years ago in ancient Palestine. And he is God. Actually true God and true man. At the same time. 

And the essence of Christian creed or religion is Jesus Christ. And God has revealed all in Christ Jesus. He is the definitive revelation. Nothing else can be said. Anyway our mother the Church has deepened in these beliefs along history. 

And with that Person, Jesus, we can talk. Now. We can talk to and with him, and so many a person can account about that tremendous experience. You can attain too. That’s not for a few chosen people. Moreover he is wishing you address him. In your interior. Or amid nature. Or you may enter a church and find him in the Tabernacle, in the Eucharist. Or in the Monstrance, if he is exposed to people’s adoration and chattering with him. It’s just ordinary experience. You also may attain it. I have too. Millions of people have throughout history. 

You will not hear physical words, but he says a lot of things to your heart. In him we can see God. In some way God has made accesible through Jesus Christ. 

And he wishes to accompany you along your life, at any circumstance: your daily work, your family, your rest, your … everything. And he is so sweet a companion. Just make the experience. 

We can see God in Jesus Christ, he is the second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, who has taken our flesh. 

As well we can find him in the four Gospels. Have you ever seen God? 

By the way, do you know Collins’ story? He was a famous English atheist gentleman. One day he saw a simple and plain worker who was heading for a church. How big is your God, he asked that simple man in irony. Well, the answer was, big enough as your head can’t contain it, yet as small as he can enter my heart. The celebrated atheist had something much to consider, much more than any other apologetic argument he has ever received. Have a nice day.

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...

18. You may have had that feeling of plenitude after a movie

  As you have already seen, in this blog I write also about our father God, who has dad and mom’s love to us. To each one of us.  And for me – and many people alike – his existence is almost evident, for we firmly believe in him and talk to him – and with him – at any moment.  It’s so also when you think that he exists, because somebody must have made all this, this wonderful world, and each person. And the universe, which is unfolding itself on NASA’s last discoveries.  Also because we may have seen John Ford’s The Searchers (1956) and there ensues the idea of one God, after each person’s thirst for plenitude and happiness, and family.  When you admit his existence, even more, when you treat him personally, well, then, everything makes sense, and you may feel satisfied. As well life’s pains and sorrows have sense.  Otherwise if we suppress God, as Paul Sartre did, then all ends up without meaning.  Well, faith is a gift. A gift by him, but one every...

19. Happiness may be at hand, it's not that difficult

  You want to be happy and make others be happy too, perhaps your family?  I’ve lately read and thought a bit more on happiness, and now I’m trying to give you some tips that might hopefully help you.  The first premise, and according to Spanish psychiatrist Marian Rojas Estapé, happiness doesn’t depend on what occurs to you, but the perception you have about what happens to you.  If you try and have a positive view of what occurs in your life, well then you may start to move on happiness road.  Happiness is not what happens to me, but how I interpret those things that happen to me. That’s on page 115 in her book Cómo hacer que te pasen cosas buenas (2018, and there’re quite many editions of that bestseller). It’s up to you. You decide between being happy or … not, and I presume you want to.  I know some people who are just positive about their lives. And those same people might have chosen to interpret life things in a negative and pessimistic way. You de...
