Details
-A rabbit goes forwards, with a certain uneasiness. He gropes around.
-The light is behind him. He marches towards blackness. This is what people look like if they don't believe in God; what is the point of going forwards, if it is only to go into the darkness ? The wall ? Into nothingness ?
-Those who are lucky enough to have faith, even if they cannot see it, they are less fearful for the future because they know that Jesus will not let them fall.
-The rabbits hands and ears are held to the front. He has faith.
Questions
-Believe, what does it mean?
The "You Cat" (catechism given by Benoît XVI to the young people of JMJ in Madrid) told us at number 22 that it is to "seek a personal relationship with God and to believe in all which God shows to us of Himself"
At the beginning of faith, there is a shock : Man senses that the visible world is not the totality of existence. He finds, little by little, the confidence to address Him and to start a relationship with Him.
To believe, is to agree to Jesus and to place his life on Him.
-Where am I, concerning my faith, following this definition ?
