The encounter with God takes place in the intimacy of the heart as strenuous and demanding commitment to the service of the Church and the world, but it is always dictated by love "who creates everything."
Only love for God and for others authentically fills the heart of man with joy. Today's world is increasingly distracted by an unfair and improper use of things, from the frantic search for success, wealth, pleasure at all costs, all of which leave men after an apparent joy in the sadness and anguish. "Not by bread alone does man live, but by every word that comes from God." The Lord nourishes his children in the desert of daily life, where there between the trials and sufferings of every day we are often tempted to give in and change his way, not to continue until the meeting with Him.
Our love goes to Christ, because now "it is no longer we who live but Christ who lives in us ," "our life is hidden with Christ in God." (Galatians 2:20, Colossians 3:3) The fundamental vocation of every believer is to be an instrument of this love. It is a life that continues to be the experience of those called, the experience of the patriarchs to that of the saints, from Mary to that of each of us. "The love of Christ impels us" ( 2 Cor 5:14 ), then, to think of our lives in that direction, to make our actions echo the love of Christ who loved us " to give to us his life" (1 Jn 3:16). With that sublime gesture the heart of God is revealed and touches man's heart so that from that moment on, every action receives meaning and significance from that gesture. It is there, in fact, that Christ reveals to each of us his love, a love so strong and powerful that "nothing in the world "will be able to separate us from him. The themes revolve around the great Pauline theme of redemption which was manifested to us through the cross of Christ.
