oh............it's already March!!!!
Thank you for David your kind words and prayer, spiritual support!
I have got your three emails, the most amazing one regarding a priest friend...
I catch a key word for my inner inner call during last sunday's sermon, "Healing".
Healing.. is something I believe in about God, and about my ontology.
This is something totally out of my expectation, and I am so thankful of God our Father, our Lord, our Light.
I also learn to really be very frank with God, and not to pretend anything, and just be naked before God. Pretense block my connection to myself and to my Lord, my God.
It is indeed a great lesson for me...
I also experience very unexpected revelations of God's work on my family, pray for the conversion, and thank for them to start asking themselves about life, meaning, and "what for?", as these have got to lead men to look for God, their missing piece in life.
Pray for families in US for their anchor in the midst of the financial sunami....
God, do not let them drift away in worries, anxieties, losses..

our culture relentlessly seduce us to emptiness and disconnection from God
Dearest David,
What you said is soooooooooooo succinctly true!
Allow me to quote you and share with many Christians and non-Christians here:
"What I have learned (at considerable personal cost) about being disconnected from God is that this division is always the result of my looking to the world for purpose rather than our Creator. Inevitably, after some consternation, I awaken to the reality that our cultural compasses are perpetually disorienting.
Contemporary culture relentlessly encourages us, even seduces us, to irrevocably link our identity to its trappings -- what we do, what we have, who we're with, and he like. But all of these connections are temporal. In the end, if we take our bearings from the culture around us, we are destined to experience emptiness, which it then offers to fill with various distractions and forms of sedation."
I have to say, you put it in words my deepest worry and sadness....
Let me keep praying...
