Spirituality and Theology
Donate nowWhy does the human being reach beyond the invisible? What drives him to seek his origin in God— a Being greater than all things and all people, the Eternal One? How is he able to recognize God’s manifestations and enter into relationship with His communication? This is what the Gospel speaks of (cf. John 20:31). By what capacity—distinct from thought and feeling, from escapist imagination or projected need—is the human person able to relate to the One we call God, and to worship Him freely and lovingly? What does the human being possess, if not a spiritual soul, “created in His image and likeness,” that enables him to discern what truly belongs to God from what is merely human and natural—so that he may turn to Him with confidence, in truth, and without losing himself? As the Bible affirms in Ecclesiastes (cf. 3:11), God has placed “the sense of eternity” in the human heart.
