Since I was little, I always felt a restlessness, a sense that the Lord God was calling me to do something better, to serve others, mainly. And that gradually grew as I got older.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charity seems to me a very important point in the Christian faith, because it\u2019s about loving others, right? For example, I\u2019ve participated in quite a few volunteer activities following others, and yes, even by doing just a little\u2026 you can help a lot of people. Because people already have many problems in their lives, and with just a little, you can make them happy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve noticed that more people, in the society we live in now, since everything moves so fast, are looking for something\u2026 They live very fast. And in the end, they live without feeling anything inside, something is missing, and they need to satisfy it with the Spirit of the Lord, with the spirit of faith.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A very small, well-known book by Saint Josemar\u00eda, which is the one I began reading. It\u2019s quite basic, but it helps to start this whole journey of faith. Right? Who is God? And everything. It\u2019s called 'The Way.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
