Many people have become disillusioned with life because they have faced difficulties that seem to be beyond their strength. And it is really difficult to keep the faith standing while the heart suffers. For all these, Pope Francis brings a message that can change the way we see the facts: "Having faith does not mean being free from difficult moments, but having the strength to face knowing that we are not alone."
Maybe faith needs to be resignified. We need to understand that it is, above all, a light that guides us and makes us persist when everything else seems to have given wrong. It is a refuge, which does not represent escape, but the meeting of a refuge that offers a little security for our heart in distress.
In this view it is possible that faith can be restored, relearned, recapitulated. And bring more hope, instead of deconsolidation.
Faith is what magnifies us, encourages us, raises us up. It is faith that drives us so that we become the size of our dreams. It is also she who makes us stand firm against the storms that fall on us.
Many people have been ashamed to say they have faith because the problems seem to be talking louder, because they can not avoid or get rid of difficult situations. And that happens just at the worst moment, because lack of faith can lead to despair. And nothing is done without hope, is not it?
It is about having faith in what is divine yes, if that is your choice. If faith in the Superior moves you, cultivate. Savor that connection, because she has the potential to make you feel a better, more capable and even graceful person. Many people make faith their greatest source of strength and they feel happier with that.
But this belief in the divine is intimately linked to the need to have faith in life itself; in the act of believing that everything happens, even the most difficult moments and that in the end, everything will turn out well. Believe that the storm will give rise to the bonanza, although today it still seems far from happening.
It is important to keep faith in people, to believe that not all are bad or they want us badly and that happiness will return to smile for us, more or less days.
It is essential to maintain the faith despite the obstacles, regardless of how difficult they are difficult to overcome. That the music of Gonzaguinha, transcribed here, contributes to that faith finds space in his heart:
"Never give yourself up, always be born with the mornings Let the sunlight shine in the sky of your gaze Faith in life, faith in man, faith in what is to come We can all, we can more. do what it will be.
Keep your faith burning and believe that better days will come. Obstacles exist to be overcome, always remember that.
