The Joy Of The Gospel

Finding God In All Things Is Not An 'empirical Eureka.' When We Desire To Encounter God, We Would Like To Verify Him Immediately By An Empirical Method. But You Cannot Meet God This Way...a Contemplative Attitude Is Necessary: It Is The Feeling That You Are Moving Along The Good Path Of Understanding And Affection Toward Things And Situations. Profound Peace, Spiritual Consolation, Love Of God, And Love Of All Things In God-this Is The Sign That You Are On This Right Path.

Do I Take The Gospel Message Of Reconciliation And Love Into The Places Where I Live And Work?

The Key Phrase Used By The Synod, Which I'll Take Up Again, Is 'integrate' In The Life Of The Church The Wounded Families, Remarried Families, Etc. But Of This One Mustn't Forget The Children In The Middle. They Are The First Victims, Both In The Wounds, And In The Conditions Of Poverty, Of Work.

The Youth Say Stupid Things And They Say Good Things, As We Do, As Everyone Does. But Hear Them, Speak With Them, Because We Must Learn From Them And They Must Learn From Me, From Us.

For This The Gospel Offers Us A Serene Way Forward: Using The Three Languages Of The Mind, Heart And Hands - And To Use Them In Harmony. What You Think, You Must Feel And Put Into Effect. Your Information Comes Down To Your Heart And You Put It Into Practice. Harmoniously. What You Think, You Feel, And You Do. Feel What You Think And Feel What You Do. Do What You Think And What You Feel. The Three Languagesto Think. To Feel. To Do. And All In Harmony.
