Our Church pastor gave us a very eloquent and very enlightening counsel the other day. He told us, "If we can't love our neighbor, whom we can see, how can we love Our Lord God, whom we can't see?"

I always love to listen a man dedicated to the spreading and sowing the Word of God for people who need to be shepherded. While I was listening I was reflecting that basically, God gave us intelligence to do just that: to acknowledge His Being, His Existence, HIs Eternal Love, His Omnipotence with the Intelligence that He gave us. I can imagine His PUre and Holy Joy (just like the father in the Parable of the Prodigal Son.) upon seeing His child recognizing Him in all things and loving Him just the same.

Intelligence and the freedom to exercise it is the best faculty given us so as to certify that we indeed feel and seek our true Parent, together with our love for our human parents, and there is no other way for God to know how we, His Creatures, humankind, would "trace" our lineage to HIm.

Praise be to Our God, Alleluia.
