Good day to you all.
Given what I sent out yesterday, maybe Pierre Teilhard de Chardin as a solution to the question posed.
We know that the devil, Satan, or whatever name we might give to this spirit, is an element of pure evil that manifests itself in our world every now and then.
It is usually we who become the instruments of this evil which we perpetrate upon one another, whether we like it or not.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin gives us something that will help us come to overcome this problems as he tells us, “Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them; for it alone takes them and joins them by which is deepest in themselves.” But here again, we need to trust. This time we are called to trust a stranger and that makes it much more difficult.
Love, as the Beetles sang, is the answer. But love demands trust. And trust is something that does not come easy. Trust is something that takes time to establish the foundation, that is, something to build on.
I would dare to say, that is why faith is so difficult. Faith like love requires trust, and trust takes time. Like any relationship, whether that be in marriage, a vocation, or a religion, trust must be the foundation upon which these are built.
May you all have a blessed day.
Peace and All Good,
