I actually made this video about four months ago. It is my hope and prayer that this short video will inspire viewers to become more committed and faithful to Christ. It is based on a writing by the late Pope John Paul II:
“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; he is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is he who provokes you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is he who urges you to shed off the mask of a false life; it is he who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be grounded down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.”
i always feel good whenever i read the text, sometimes i get emotional because the text is really very moving and touching…i first read it during the world youth day in paris… so whenever i feel down or frustrated i do read it and it makes me feel good again…thanks fr. cuyos for the video! the text just came alive beacuse of it…great great work!
Dear Father Stephen, Im deeply touched with this presentation you have here! Indeed it is JESUS i seek when everything else fails; when I fail; when everything seem so wrong and twisted; when it feels it is the right moment but not; when things get soooo rough.
But, after a while… it feels… perfect! well, almost! Thanks so much Father for sharing this!
