¡¡Entrada número 100 en Damasco!!

¡¡Vaya qué buena coincidencia que el último día de mis veintitantos años!! Escriba el post número 100.

Como ustedes saben este blog ha cambiado mucho y ahora se refiere, únicamente, a temas del Espíritu y acerca de mi experiencia en el camino hacía Cristo Jesús. los temas mundanos (y no por ello menos importantes) se escriben en Antioquía.

Como testimonio de mi Fé y en ánimo de oración dejo esta reflexión de San Anselmo...espero sea de su interés.

Saint Anselm (1033-1109), monk, Archbishop, Doctor of the Church

Proslogion, 26 (©trans. Benedicta Ward)

"I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete"

My God, I pray that I may so know you and love you

that I may rejoice in you.

And if I may not do so fully in this life,

let me go steadily on to the day when I come to that fullness.

Let the knowledge of you increase in me here, and there let it

come to its fullness.

Let your love grow in me here, and there let it be fulfilled,

so that here my joy may be in a great hope,

and there in full reality.

Lord, you have commanded, or rather advised us,

to ask by your Son,

and you have promised that we shall receive «that our joy may be full» (Jn 16,24).

That which you counsel through our «wonderful counsellor» (Is 9,5)

is what I am asking for, Lord.

Let me receive that which you promised through your truth,

«that my joy may be full».

God of truth, I ask that I may receive,

so that my joy may be full.

Meanwhile, let my mind meditate on it,

let my tongue speak of it,

let my heart love it,

let my mouth preach it,

let my soul hunger for it,

my flesh thirst for it,

and my whole being desire it,

until I enter the joy of my Lord (Mt 25,21),

who is God, one and triune, blessed forever. Amen.
