Men, to exist, to become complete and mature, need to feel the joy of fatherhood. when a man does not have this desire, something is missing in this man, it is like an incomplete life: a life that stops half way. the grace of fatherhood; of giving life to others, of pastoral paternity, of spiritual paternity is a gift from god.

Men, To Exist, To Become Complete And

Pope Francis

More From Pope Francis

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. evil is simply the absence of god. it is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of god. god did not create evil. evil is not like faith, or love that exist just as does light and heat. evil is the result of what happens when man does not have god's love present in his heart. it's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.

The very best reason parents are so special . . . is because we are the holders of a priceless gift, a gift we received from countless generations we never knew, a gift that only we now possess and only we can give to our children. that unique gift, of course, is the gift of ourselves. whatever we can do to give that gift, and to help others receive it, is worth the challenge of all our human endeavor.

There is a time when every person who encounters jesus, who believes jesus is the son of god, decides that they will spend their life following him. some people, like the apostle paul, make this decision the minute they meet him, the minute they become a christian. others, like the apostle peter, endure years of half-hearted commitment and spiritual confusion before leaping in with all their passion. still others may enjoy some benefits of god's love and grace without entering into the true joy of a marriage with their maker.
Christian Spiritual Jesus
Happiness is a state of non-contradictory joy--a joy without penalty or guilt, a joy that does not clash with any of your values and does not work for your own destruction, not the joy of escaping from your mind, but of using your mind's fullest power, not the joy of faking reality, but of achieving values that are real, not the joy of a drunkard, but of a producer.
Happiness Real Escaping
For things remain possible, even if god does not choose them. indeed, even if god does not will something to exist, it is possible for it to exist, since, by its nature, it could exist if god were to will it to exist.
