Language

As a foreigner I had to learn the English language. It is not my first challenge in this department but is was interesting to discover that every English speaking country has a different accent and a different version of the same language. As you can see from my blog there is a long way to be perfect in English but I am not discouraged.

There is another language that comes from a completely different place. It is the language of our faith. It is a combination of words, silence, a spiritual immersion, action of our body, etc. It is completely independent and free. We learn it throughout our entire life. Its grammar and spelling very much depend on our spiritual life, on our spiritual orderliness and on honesty. We use it every time we talk to God, in our dialog with Him. I believe it is the most real language we have. Our entire life is in it.

So, how do we speak in this language? Its words are very often soundless. Sometimes they come out from us in a way we never expected. Those words have joy and tears, They reflect our anger and peace. But in the end, this language takes us to a different place where we are the most truthful.

Every time we see Jesus Christ elevated during consecration, this language is in use. There is nothing we can say to Him but at the same time we say everything. In the holy silence our Savior comes to us the same way he came to His apostles and he knows exactly what is in our soul. It is a wordless conversation, when our soul is immersed in the love of God. If our life is a sailboat and this world is a sea, then our language of conversation with God is a light showing us the way during night. We see His light and we rejoice seeing it but there is still some distance to get to the port.
