Heart of Matter: Religion is a Deep-Rooted Energy

Tuesday, January 17, 2023

“Despite the modern privatization of religion or the outright dismissal of it, religion won’t go away—ever—because religion is about the deep-rooted energies of the spirit yearning for ultimate meaning and fulfillment.”

Ilia Delio, Making All Things New

“A pesar de la moderna privatización de la religión o del rechazo total de la misma, la religión
no va a desaparecer nunca, porque la religión son esas energías profundamente arraigadas del espíritu en búsqueda del significado último y de la plenitud”.

    At age 10 I was convinced that God did not exist. Having read St Paul’s teaching that God is love at age 26 and having seen the reality of that in a life long deeply loving relationship, I am testimony to, “the deep-rooted energies of the spirit yearning for ultimate meaning and fulfilment.”

    “RELIGEN is about the deep-rooted energies of the spirit yearning for ultimate meaning and fulfillment.”
    I feel this to be so real in my encounter with JESUS CHRIST THE RISEN LORD that my whole being exults in a marvelous movement of Joy and Peace.
