What I believe in…

I believe in God-Silence, mysterious Presence…
in you, in me, in us, in the immensity.
It is only omnipotent in Love.
It is the Love, it is the Life, and it is the Breath…
I know Jesus of Nazareth,
our light waiting for the day…
He was born in Galilee from a very young woman.
He rose to purge his religion from tedious and bloody sacrifices
and from the pride of its priests.
He taught, cured and loved his people…
In the wake of the prophets, He announced the Kingdom of God among us:
Welcome, compassion, joy and freedom…
The priestly elite did not like him!
Arrested, mocked, whipped and crucified,
He gave his life, devoted to his mission.
Eternally alive…
Jesus companion… on the way to eternity.
