Adore the Eternal with a still body and a silent soul
September, 2nd 2023 – Father Elias Leyds C.S.J. started a couple of weeks ago in FilioQue in English another collection of short reflections on the topic of ‘fighting for reality’, or ‘the war for reality’. He uses again realism and helps us to understand why religion or being religious, one of the virtues of life is what we need, to give meaning to reality and to reach our goals, our purpose in life. So the question remains: what does it take to live the virtue of religion again?
In this part, Father Elias Leyds c.s.j. makes the destinction by addressing the natural virtue of religion. Our culture is anti-religious and destoys in many the will to adore. Essentials of adoration are: silence, stillness and an act of bodily humility. Adoration is not an act of humiliation but it dignifies who He is, so who we are.
Can we be forced to adore and can be punshied if we don’t?
What is the purpose or benefit of adoration?
Religion is not the same as faith. What is the difference?
Why is it important to render justice to God, our creator?
Religion is a natural virtue to get closer to God. Adoration and the practice of religion is necessary for our life just because we can discover that God exist. Christ is God and Man, and the man adores His Father, i.e. adoration is always in unity with the Holy Trinity. We can learn to live from this mystery as a source for our live. To understand both the Humanity and the Divinity of Christ, we have to learn from His religious deeds. In the deeds of religion or religious exercises we can learn from Jesus Christ.
To make God the aim of your life, to return to him, is the deepest thing you can do in this world. And doing so we will also find the means to return, in our discovery of God
