Reflection
 114:   Based on the Vatican II document 
Gaudium et Spes (Church in the world) 
Article 10

 

We human beings are complex creatures, with many tensions in our hearts

We constantly ask: what are we? why do we exists?
what's the purpose of life? how come there's sorrow and evil and death in our lives? 
what happens after we die?

The Church firmly believes that Jesus, who died and was raised up for all,
can through His Spirit offer us the light and the strength to measure up to our supreme destiny.

Jesus, in you, our most benign Lord and Master, can be found the key,
the focal point and the goal of humanity, as well as of all human history
