Yesterday was Wednesday the normal day on which the Pope give shis little exhortation or teachig to the crowd that gathers in St. Peter's square.
I missed Wednesday so in order to make up for it here below I have a few words from our Pontiff:
"And if God exists, everything changes, life is light, our future is light, and we have guidance for how to live. Therefore, believing constitutes the fundamental orientation of our life. To believe, to say: "Yes, I believe that you are God; I believe that you are present among us in the incarnate Son," gives my life a direction, impels me to be attached to God, to unite with God, and so to find my dwelling place, and the way to live." Homily August 15, 2006
Yesterday in the first reading at mass, St. Paul said that we are God's field...that God causes the growth in us.
God is active in our life, plowing and tilling in our life so that abundant fruit might blossom forth and be food for those around us. As Jesus tells the apostles, "give them something to eat yourselves," so he tells each of us to allow him to till in our lives in such a manner that fruit shall come forth.
If we believe in God then everything changes, andmore importantly, if we believe in God then we must let ourselves be changed, changed, changed... as the field is ploughed and made ready so too shall our God do with us with each new moment, a moment to cultivate change.
