What is Faith?


The man who walks with the eyes open, sees what he thinks is the reality but as the day darkens, he can't proceed. And if there was a faint brightness, he may fall down in the abyss if coming too close to a curve in the road.
Faith is more than a light. It is a guide in the path of eternity. Even more, it is Wisdom that opens the heart. Love that moves the hardest heart. Peace that renews and makes life possible. And especially, it is the Love present in every moment, that shelters, preserves, protects, nourishes and offers solidarity. It never discriminates but always accompanies, cries and laughs for us and in us.
Faith is not only a word, it is hope and life. It is a fulfilled promise and infinite tenderness. Faith is yesterday, today and always. When the man walks with Faith, although his eyes seem to be closed, he will reach his goal because God is taking him by the hand.

How to Overcome Suffering


When the suffering is deep and profound, it confuses, harms and makes us to lose hope.
Yes, it might seem that life has no sense.
There are sufferings so large and intense that happiness seems dead and even madness would be better because the suffering opens gaps in the soul because the heart bleeds and anguish takes over the mind; the will cannot handle more. It is the denial of denial and self denial.
Then, at this point, the miracle happens and God illuminates with His Mercy and in spite of everything it springs forth victorious in the mystery of Faith.
