The Face of Hope

Some people, among them philosophers and logicians, say that God is only a technical term or meaningless word.Others try to convince us, Christians, that human beings are evil and can only bring disastrous situations upon themselves or the planet they live in.

Neither the first nor the second statement is true:

Please look at the Holy Cross, see the countenance of Jesus Christ and realise how real and beautiful the Face of God-Man can be...

PS. John Paul II, the true philosopher, will be happy to hear both  "we love you" and "we read your books on the regular basis."
Do not forget about this and pray for me, please. Blessed Easter Triduum to you all!

Will I see him again?

Me and JPII in 1999

Right now, as we reach the beatification day of the late Pope John Paul II, we may and should read his encyclical letters, memoirs about him,  but first and foremost we are obliged to imitate his way of living more passionately.

That's easier said than done, isn't it?

Sometimes, especially when imitation of Pope's virtues is a hard thing to do, we may even look at some photo of John Paul, and then pray silently or cry out using the following words : Please help me to see you again.

On some uncontaminated sources ( What the philosophy is about)

It can by said that so-called modern philosophy that fascinates so many people has nothing to do with the real philosophy.
Just take a look at the names of some well known philosophical branches of  20th century :

-Deconstructivism
-Absurdism
-Nihilism 
(...)

The real philosophy shall lead a thinker to the Wisdom, in other words to the Unity of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.  Now, do you know Whose above-mentioned atributes are?

Yes, a philosopher shall be at least open to God's existence, and Neither Derrida nor Camus and Nietzsche were.

So if you want to be the Philosopher someday,  you would better start with good and reliable names on your ''must read'' list: 


St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Augustin,  St. Theresa Benedicta of the Cross, Joseph Mary Bochenski or John Paul II definitely knew what  the philosophy is about.
