Christianity is not external to the real concerns of my life. It illuminates them and opens me up to their true meaning.
But this only happens if I live the relationship with God that He continually desires to deepen throughout my life.
And how can I live and grow in a relationship with Eternal Love except by asking for Him to change me, asking for Him to empower me to love Him more, asking Him to enable me to see the Church as the instrument of His love, and her teachings as the road of love that really corresponds to my life?
I want Him to "come" into my life, deepen my relationship with Him, and make me more aware of His presence. This is why I must ask, continually, for the gift of the Holy Spirit to be renewed within me.
This is why my whole heart has to be a living, loving, begging prayer for God's grace.
