S oltanto the blind necessity is capable of throwing men into the far distance point, at the foot of the cross . The human crimes, which are the cause of most disasters are part of the blind necessity, because criminals do not know what they do. There are two types of friendship: the meeting and separation. They are inseparable. They contain both the good, the good one, friendship. For when two beings who are not friends are near, there is no meeting, when they are away there is no separation. Enclosing the same property with the two forms are equally good.
God creates himself and you know, well, not different from us, miserably, of course, we manufacture and we know the objects around us. But God is first love, God loves himself first. This love, this friendship in God is the Trinity. Among the terms united by this relation of divine love is more than close: there is near infinite identity. But there is an infinite distance because of the Creation, the Incarnation, the Passion. The totality of space, all time, placing their thickness, put an infinite distance between God and God
Those who love, friends, have two wishes: one, to love one another enough to penetrate up to become a single being, the other to love each other so much that, even if they were separated by oceans, their union would not weakened. All that man really want here is real and perfect God in all these impossible desires within us as a sign of our destiny, and we have a positive effect from the moment they do not hope to achieve them.
The love between God and God, which is not nothing but God, that bond is the dual power: it is the bond that unites two beings at the point of making them indistinguishable and really only one and that stretched over the distance, triumphs of infinite separation. The unity of God in which disappears every variety, and abandonment in which he believes to be Christ, without ceasing to love the Father perfectly, there are two forms of the virtue of that divine love which is God himself.
God's love is so essential that the unit, although in a sense its very definition, is simply a result of love. And endlessly unifying power of this love is the infinite separation on which it triumphs; separation which is all that is created, distributed in all space and time, brute fact of matter mechanically, interposed between Christ and the Father.
Our misery gives us the infinitely precious privilege to participate in the distance that separates the Son from the Father. However, this separation distance is only for those who love, but for them the separation, although painful, is good, because it is love. The same anguish of Christ is an abandoned well. For us, here, there can be no greater good that participate. God can not be fully present to us, because there is the obstacle of the flesh. Extreme distress, on the other hand, can be almost completely absent. On earth, this is our only possibility of perfection, which explains why the cross is our only hope . "No forest has such a tree, with the flower, the leaves and the seed."
The universe in which we live, of which we are a particle, e is the distance from the divine love between God and God We're a point in that range, which consists of space, time, and in the mechanism that governs the matter.
All that we call evil is simply the mechanism. God has made sure that his grace, if he can penetrate to the very heart of man and from there to illuminate his whole being, can afford to walk on water without violating the laws of nature. But when a person turns away from God, it simply abandons the law of gravity. Is an illusion, then, to have the power to will or to choose, but that is not an object, a stone falling. Observing closely and with real attention, the spirit and the human society, it is noted that where the supernatural power of light is absent everything obeys the laws of mechanics, solid and precise as the law of gravity. Be aware of what is beneficial and necessary. What we call tiles that criminals are like the wind has torn at random, and falling to the ground. Their only fault is the initial choice has put them in the number of those tiles.
The mechanism of the need can be applied at every level: the brute matter, plants, animals, peoples, and to souls, yet always remains the same. In view of our angle of view, in our view, it is totally blind. But if we move with our sense of ourselves outside the universe, space and time, there where is our Father, and if we look beyond this mechanism, it appears much different. What seemed to need obedience becomes. The matter is total liabilities and consequently total obedience to God's will for us it is a perfect model. There can be nothing but God and what God obeys his perfect obedience, the matter deserves to be loved by those who like his master, as we look fondly the needle that was already used by the woman he loved, now dead . The beauty of creation gives us a measure of the love it deserves from us. In this beauty, the need brute becomes the object of love. There is nothing finer than the gravitational force that manifests itself in the folds of the transient waves or in the almost eternal mountains.
The sea is no less wonderful in our eyes because we know that sometimes you sink ships. Conversely, if, to save a ship, it altered the motion of the waves, is a being capable of discerning and will not that fluid and perfectly obedient to every external pressure. In this perfect obedience lies its beauty.
