I started thinking today on the lack of alignment of spiritual life and ordinary and business life
in many people, including myself, and I came to the conclusion that many Catholics and Protestants I know are not
really Christian. It seems like a paradox but, unfortunately is not and that is the root cause of many of our world problems.
These people are immersed in
the formal aspect of their own Christian denomination, whatever it is, and don't have or don't
want to dedicate any time to the real deep meaning of Christ in their lives.
I even wonder if they ever look for the
real Jesus or if they are just happy to belong to a tradition that is
more link to humans than to Christ. With many rules and regulations, with perfect structure and common voice, common
thought, common brain in some cases to even justify the killling of other humans' bodies and/or souls, through wars, abortion,
lack of social consciense, financial greed, corruption and usury.
Being a Christian is radical,
is pure and needs commitment to work with God in fulfilling His vision for this creation that we all must share.

"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
-
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
-
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
-
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
-
the Almighty has done great things for me,
-
and holy is his Name.
-
He has mercy on those who fear him
-
in every generation.
-
He has shown the strength of his arm,
-
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
-
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
-
and has lifted up the lowly.
-
He has filled the hungry with good things,
-
and the rich he has sent away empty.
-
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
-
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
-
the promise he made to our fathers,
-
to Abraham and his children for ever."
