About God-1-Word-2-say

My name is Pilar, I am originally from Spain, from a beautiful mediterranean island called Majorca. I have lived five years in the U.K. and two in the USA (California). Now I just moved to Rome. I am a member of a Catholic Community called Verbum Dei. We devote ourselves to preaching the Word of God to all who want to listen a different discourse to that of the mass-media. I pray every day for at least two hours. I am studying Theology in Rome.

This blog is about how I link my prayer with my life and with what I see that happens in other's people lives. I would like to see people happy. I read and pray the Word every morning. It gives me a different perspective on what goes on in the world(and in my life). And search for a different perspective.

I chose this title for the blog "God-1-Word-2-say" becaue I am sincerely convinced that God has something to say about us. My experience is that to hear this "something" can change a life.

I sincerely hope that reading my posts you will be able to also find a different point of view on the world, on yourself and your life. Although my greatest hope is that my posts provoke in you the desire to pray.

Hi… Susan Boyle. I have been thinking about her all day. I was really impressed by the whole thing. After watching the video in YouTube I was left amazed and happy, with a good feeling inside. It is really uplifting when good things happen to normal people. She looks like many women I cross on the street. And there she was, she is no actress, no dancer, no singer… and surprising. Good on you, Susan, both because of your courage to go to the program and because of your success. It is a pity she had to wait for so long. How many people never saw the diamond in the rock?

Here is the reading that has been in my mind all day long
“but The Lord said to Samuel, 'Take no notice of his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him; God does not see as human beings see; they look at appearances but The Lord looks at the heart.'(1 Samuel, 16: 1-13)

I Will Not Give Up:
God is being substituted by technology. It is the last realization of thinkers. Everything that used to be God’s “job” (as giving life, creating, loving, guiding…) now is made with computers. There are even some authors who say that they can stimulate in our brains the neurons that are at use in contemplative prayer… so you do not need any more God, just a little artifact that can cause the same “sensation” in your brain. It is in this context that I read the verse on the Gospel of John. Can it be possible that God has not given up on us yet? And I look at the cross and the answer is not.
John 13:1 “Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love.”
Have a good Easter Time.
