He said that to do so," demands our whole existence,understanding, our will,our feelings, our love. It requires letting go of our whole self....a perishing of the mere self and a resurrection of the true self. " ( Pope Benedict XVI )<br /><br />To live by faith then would thus require us to divest,to have a simplicity or poverty of spirit - so that one can travel light, deeper within self to unveil the image and likeness of the maker within - the'true self'. This descent is probably also the path of contemplative prayer ?<br />Thank you Fr. for very interesting post.

Hope you're doing well. Yesterday...Hi Fr Luke!<br /><br />Hope you're doing well. Yesterday night my DAD asked me what the meaning of life is! O.O Don't worry, he's fine and it was just one of the moments.<br /><br />What is the meaning of life? Do you have an answer?<br /><br />My birthday is coming up and soon I will be 3 years from my midlife (crisis), if I die at 60, which is what my mum did. Half a life has gone by so quickly. And if I may, I realize now that searching for the answers came after being content. Should it not be the other way round? Perhaps I am looking for trouble where none is to be found!<br /><br />Just a random one :)<br /><br />SereneSerene Gohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12924316456885683737noreply@blogger.com
