ECHOES OF STA'S THOUGHT. CARMEN Nº 52
“I have not come here to seek any kind of goods, only the glory of God from whom I expect everything”
REFLECTION BY M. REBECA SOSA, rcm
The other day I read in an article that "The world of adolescents and young people renews and updates its language almost weekly", and we heard expressions among them such as "He's done a great job" "this is an observer" "I'm a landowner"... Anyway, sometimes we walk through the school hallways and you don't know if, in addition to English, French and German, there is another language that you are already quite lost in.
Religious language, many times, also becomes unintelligible to you, young people. And today, with these words of M. Carmen, some may ask: What is this GLORY OF GOD?
Well, neither more nor less than recognizing his greatness and giving him the honor he deserves, praising and adoring him. And this helps us recognize that we are not gods. In this society where we idolize people, in football, in music, in so many areas; We forget that we are finite, that we have an expiration date, that we cannot do or achieve everything we want, that we have limits... And that only from God can we expect everything, therefore, it is to Him that we must turn.
We live immersed in a world that seeks to possess, accumulate, have...; and none of this satisfies us, we find that things do not fill us up and we enter a cycle of having, accumulating, consuming, spending, desiring, wanting more and more...
M. Carmen was very wise and discovered this secret very early in her life. His passage through the world was not to seek his own goods or benefits. His life was a continuous search for the will of God and to give Him glory, worshiping the Only One who could give Him that ALL capable of filling people. In the words of Jesus to the Samaritan woman: “Whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never thirst.”
Young man, you who like to expand your vocabulary and use new words... Record on your hard drive what you learned today: GIVE GLORY TO GOD. I hope you are able to process it on your personal CPU and give glory to God in many of the things you do from now on.
