Sometime ago, I heard a podcast from www.ancientfaith.com , a really wonderful website that has influenced my life in these recent ocassions. I have been very familiar with that website for about a half year. It has been really wonderful to know such nice website contains about a really authentic and ancient faith of christianity which has passed trough very long, long time. Exactly, the faith of a hundred times of my own age now.
It is also so great that the sound being proclaimed is just really original belief of Christianity, without manipulation of human interest or pleasure! Awesome, may be that word I suggest to represent my appreciation to this online internet radio station.
Ok, so now back to the reflection on Fr John Oliver's podcast. It is really true and this sentence is a quote fronm him
"God places within us a hunger for fellowship with Himself and creation. But too often man distorts that hunger into an appetite for temporary pleasure."
So true, Father and that is what I feel in my youth age, right now. And I just really amazed how you describe and contrast Sacred Hunger with appetite. Wonderful. That's true! So the exposure promote discontentment and discontentment gives birth to desire and those irrealistic or 'wrong' desires leads to appetite which will never ends. And these cycle back again over time.
Whoa, I just keep thinking that thought during this week and I just found this is so true. Thanks Lord for your great mercy upon me, Thy humble servant that Thou giveth me so simple yet deep wisdom. Glory to Thee O God, Glory to Thee.
And Fr John Oliver, I really thank you for wonderful wisdom you share with me!
Bless me, Father...
