Time seeks a soul Featured

The first day of every year is like a blank page to be filled with dreams, wishes, wishes and blessings. On a page of poetry there are a few words that float like water lilies in a sea of ​​white. The white of the page helps the reader to give flesh to the feelings of the poem, the flesh of life. In this period the liturgy exhorts us to give a soul to time, to recognize the signs that God traces in the sky of time. Understanding time is understanding God's intentions. Divine Providence guides all centuries and asks each of us to write a new page in his plan. We must, therefore, be very attentive to this plan, attentive to the call that God addresses to us in our time, because it is for this time that he calls us to be protagonists of a personal story set in the great mosaic of salvation. Discovering divine intentions in our existence means encountering the source of serenity and joy. In the Holy Gospel, Jesus gives us the license of experts and capable of discerning many things in the material world: «When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately say: The rain is coming, and so it happens. And when the sirocco blows, you say: It will be hot, and so it happens." Why does Jesus say that we are experts in these things? Because these things are there

are of interest: it is the heart that makes the eyes attentive. When the heart has no interest, nothing is seen, nothing is recognized; but those who have an interest in something see the minimal possibilities of intervening and take advantage of it. This "heart that makes the eyes attentive" does not have a narrow perimeter, limited to our personal sphere, but through baptism our life has the breath of the world and has made us collaborators of God's dreams for humanity, both the scattered on the continents than the one that lives next to us.
Among the signs of the times we see the fog of religious indifference, the cold wind of rejection of others because of the color of their skin, their different language, etc... They are signs that challenge us and if we have the kingdom of God at heart, we know how to see the possibilities that this time offers for its diffusion, which are different from those of the times that preceded it. As always, God wants the salvation of all men and tirelessly urges the hearts that love him, that trust in him, to seek new means to spread his kingdom of love.
Let us ask Jesus to give us the discernment that comes from the heart, to live in our time in a manner worthy of our vocation. In humility, in charity, in meekness we must today find the means to make known to everyone the love of God, his goodness, his mercy and thus spread his kingdom, the kingdom of Christ, so that the desire can be realized quickly. of God: everyone, men and women, be happy to live and come to bless the author of life. I pray and would like the sentiment of a black man, committed to alleviating the miseries of the world, to echo in everyone's souls, when he expressed his happiness by saying: «I am happy from dawn to night, for the gift of singing, for the time, becoming and pain [...] I am happy for my heart with the doors opened, they are the passage of wonders where dreams enter from the tumult and the roar like the flock into the sheepfold due to the rains and thunders".
May the God of life be a source of serenity, joy and perennial wonder for everyone.
