deus esta aqui proceder da fe

The faith that saved Bartimaeus did not have to do with his having clear ideas about God, but in his seeking him and longing to encounter him. Reflection on the State and its corruption cannot, in our opinion, be conducted satisfactorily without understanding as for any institution how the ideal which controls and legitimises its social existence is guaranteed. Our weaknesses should not deter you; our frailties and sins must not be an obstacle for your trust. This is the first step in helping the journey of faith: listening. But we want to imitate Jesus and, like him, to dirty our hands.
