There is no more humanistic vision for man than God’s.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

“Let’s talk about God,” 11-year-old Sofia asked during one family visit, and I realized two facts. First, I love to talk about God, and second, how rarely anyone is interested. Talking about God is not as easy as it might seem initially.<\/h2>\n

Could you try suggesting it to someone? <\/span>Although that someone will also be a close person, for example, a family member, at first, he will probably look at you with a look that reflects certain doubts about your mental condition. Then he will realize that he is currently busy with something significant.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

It is considering that in a country where more than two-thirds of the population professes the Christian faith, you have no one to talk to about God. There is an exciting lack of freedom to speak about God. It’s as if we agreed in Slovakia that God is an embarrassing topic to start talking about, and social etiquette will require that talk about God be avoided at all costs. Accurate, except for swearing when it’s supposed to be funny.<\/span><\/h2>\n

I believe God represents the highest and most noble goal of the human spirit. The ability to think and talk about God more than anything else shows the transcendent dimension of man.\u00a0I cannot find a more important subject for conversation, and it often amazes me; on the contrary, what trifles can be considered necessary by people who think themselves wise?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Today’s text will also discuss God because I don’t know a more significant topic.<\/span><\/h2>\n

God, the creator of everything and above all creation, is not a competitor of human freedom but the giver of human life and its greatest benefactor.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Since God is only one, He is very close to us all. After all, when we turn to him, we cannot make a mistake and invoke someone else. <\/span>There is no other besides God.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Based on the experience of evil and suffering, it is easy to succumb to distorted ideas about God and think he is distant, unfeeling, uninterested, or non-existent.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Jesus brought us the actual image of God. The cross of Christ vindicates God’s justice in a way that no man could devise.\u00a0At the same time, the cross reveals the unimaginable depth of God’s mercy over the human world.<\/span><\/h2>\n

By revealing the mystery of the Father and his love, Christ fully reveals the secret of man to man. Whoever wants to elevate man to greater dignity and freedom must respect the truth about man.\u00a0Whoever does not recognize that man has an immortal soul and God calls him to resurrection can only enslave man, despite his best humanistic intentions and efforts for progress.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Jesus appeared to his disciples on Mount Tabor in his divine glory.\u00a0The apostle John, who directly witnessed this event, wrote: “Beloved, now we are God’s children, and it does not yet appear what we will be.” But we know that when he appears, we will be like him because we will see him as he is.”<\/span><\/h2>\n
