The God of the impossible

In the Gospel of St . Matthew (1) we see a young man, worried about eternal life, ask Jesus what he must do to possess her. Naturally Jesus replied: "keep the commandments: Do not kill, do not steal, Do not commit adultery, honor thy father and thy mother, love thy neighbor, etc.. And the young man replied, "but all I did! What I lack he yet? "Well, Jesus said," if thou wilt be perfect, sell whatsoever thou hast, give it poor, and follow me . But he, as he was rich, feeling overwhelmed by the demands, he went away sad.

It's not over. Looks like Jesus manages to make us impossible things. As to flavor the situation, he turns to his disciples and said: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven" Say what that these are exaggerations own maxims eastern, followers are discouraged, they exclaim, "Then who can be saved? Fortunately, Jesus launches a last sentence, rather comforting: "For men it is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

Obviously we are not all called to live such requirements: "If you want, go, sell whatsoever thou hast ...». But we are all called to live our own form of perfection, perhaps less abrupt, but demanding anyway: the love that manifests itself in sharing, mutual assistance, peace efforts, patience in tests, etc.. Difficulties such that sometimes we realize that we are overwhelmed by the situation. It is so good to feel our limits, and remember that "what is impossible with men is possible with God."

How often, indeed, will we have the opportunity to see, glancing back, that was what God that we could not. Does it still not pretend to do what we have not asked. It is also curious to see how some people happily doing what we are unable to do. And vice versa!

Ensure

Ensure, in the evangelical sense, is not sleeping, wait, hope and wait without knowing when, without setting a date, but with the certainty that this will happen in his time. In a

way, what is expected is already there, because He gives me is necessarily Now it gives me being and living. I hope because I have already hidden in my background, what I expect. At that point Ste Therese Lisieux of before dying and the night of faith, could say: "I do not know what I will have more to heaven ...». She placed , of course, the only point of view of faith. What

misunderstanding on the part of some believers to assert that believers hope to escape their responsibility in this world by taking refuge in another. Their hope for something better in the afterlife would be like a refuge illusory fear of the harsh reality, or fear of facing death, "as if they had fished to feed our hope" (1).

Vigilance in hope means not knowing when, because time is irrelevant in this new register of faith where "one day is as a thousand years." But, it is very difficult, we who are so often inclined to view our schedule and our shows, jumping off the register in time and stick to them. That is why we repeated "watch and pray." Without prayer, life expectancy is long, we may feel forgotten, abandoned. We may then discouragement and sadness.

When someone close to finally leave this world, our reason for living and our hope are often reactivated. We may feel the need to keep in touch again, everything spiritual, with him who no longer here physically, we still appears, however close, but accessible otherwise. Then we take a stronger awareness that one day this will be our turn.

Who is better? Caught in the middle

Have you ever heard of this American couple who have raised two babies at once, and in the same way? One is their own child, and the other a newborn chimpanzee. "At first we write , the monkey was ahead of the little man on all counts, he walked, ate, was moving much more quickly and easily as his 'little brother'. But everything changed the day the latter could understand speech and use it. From that moment, as they say, he lost the chimpanzee in the mist! "

So who is better? In order not to demean the animals, I'll start by quoting a hymn. This is the best testimony I've ever heard to our animal friends: "We should give thanks to animals for their innocence fabulous and grateful to put on us the sweetness of their anxious eyes never condemn us "(1).

That already puts them at a high level. However, it remains that, in the experience of American couple, the little man, as and when it develops its faculties, is ultimately the best of its ability to improve. The animal will remain far behind him, even if he is ahead in the beginning.

This does detract from the praise given to the animals. It remains true, and, in my opinion, there is a reason for their "innocence fabulous", and "the sweetness of their anxious eyes" who do not condemn us. I see so the animal somewhat like a foolproof model of what we should be, we, as speakers. We who can deviate so quickly from our original innocence of childhood. We who are called to reclaim this "innocence fabulous", by fidelity to the divine law inscribed in us, not as an irresistible instinct, but rather by a secret speech to listen and put into practice. We, who are also called to put our eyes on the other, "never condemn them," as do so many animals, and as we usually do so bad!

could think: We like this model, animals only driven by their instinct , forfeiture for any human! It is true that they can not help but be what they are. That is precisely why they can be our model. On some points, at least, if we do not put in merit. Because normally they can not deviate from what has been programmed into them. He did not have the right, but we, we can, and often we do. It is a disobedience to natural law and divine. Disobedience was called: sin. Means leaving the axis that directs us to the truth and our happiness. Sometimes, we defined the sin: missing the target! I like this definition. Then again, who is the best, humans or animals?

I can not always grasp the hidden wealth of poetry Christian Bobin . But I was struck by certain parallels. For example, when we shall have two faces: that of the newborn, "not yet quite in the world," and that of an old woman, "which is no longer completely " . One begins, ignoring of what awaits. While the old woman, her face weathered by life, knows the little things that do not know. However, it is also an ignorance of the reality that awaits him very mysterious. But she believes, and expects strong.

Then the author comments: "Before the perfection of these two presences, I could not understand why this company is desperate to keep us forever young, distant lights of both the birth and old age, nailed to environment.

We may well ask, so do we, why persist in wanting to stay young forever? The answer is easy enough: we are made for eternal youth. Nothing less! It is inscribed in our nature. But in fact this is not what our nature gives us in this life that, over the years, leads us inexorably toward aging.

The question is deeper than it looks. Why hounding us to want to stay young, "nailed the middle" between childhood and old age? Why, once at the pinnacle of life, try to resist the current of the river that draws us quietly and calmly to the end? Of course, our strengths are not very effective for the brake. It is society, it seems , who wants us to stay forever young. But the company is me and others.

noted an interesting reflection of the author when he says: "these two distant lights of the birth and old age." Everyone recognizes and admires the light of the new born, his innocence, his gaze that can not lie. Light that is already a reflection of the final light to which the child is called. He sucks now, unconsciously, before meet at the end of his journey through time. In twenty, fifty, a hundred years ... Who knows?

Old age also has its light. The old accepted and seen as an expectation of life that never goes out. Also experienced as a thanksgiving for the years spent in a mixture of pain and happiness.

Finally, it is between two in which "society is desperate to keep us, away from these two lights, nailed in the middle, which is wrong. Why bother at all costs to settle there, and stay forever young? This is not what life gives us, since, willingly or unwillingly, we have to follow the course of time, without brake application, to finally take the only door that frees us: physical death. That is the remedy. The adjective "Physical" is not too much. Because it is physically, biologically , that one dies. Funny cure! Because all other remedies we offer medicine, quite the opposite aim: to live the longest and best. And who refuses?

So why want to stay indefinitely between the two lights? In a youth that is not true? The real does not pass, it is the eternal youth for which we are created. Faith, I believe he is the spiritual way that helps us overcome the darkness between the two.
