Seeking God requires crossing through the night and even staying there for some time. It requires discovering the strength and the beauty of a walk of faith that knows how to stop in front of the darkness of doubt without the pretension of having to offer solutions. Faith that is lived will also allow us to bear witness to Christ with the humble language of one who has learned to inhabit the night and to endure its questions.

The search for God requires humility: our truth is revealed by the light of the Holy Spirit and in it we recognize that it is God who seeks us first.
