We are really inspirated by the pilgrimage that we have taken to Norcia and Cascia. Our meditation was based on the first letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians 13, 1-13 (hymn to Love). Being in these two places has been a blessing to us because it helped us to contemplate the Love of God through the lives of St. Benedict -and his sister: St. Scholastic- and St. Rita. These are really the flowers of heaven which decorate humanity. With their beauty and fragrance, these flowers are intented by God to call human beings to attention. Attention to the Love of God, to know that God is the Creator of all things (Gen. 1.1ff), and to know God as Love Himself. This is the goal of our human life. We are called to search for God and live in Him for the rest of our lives as these saints Did.
Oneday somebody told me: one journalist in U.S.A. asked one bishop a question; "your lordship, i heard you talk about hell, and where is this hell?". Giving a response to his question, the bishop said: "the hell is in the heart of someone who doesn't love". By the same token, we are not created by God to live in the hell but to have our hearts full of His Love. We are called to live in the glory of the Kingdom of God which is already but not yet.
GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU IN HIS PRECIOUS LOVE
