Confinement

Now that we are restricted in our freedom, confined to our homes,

the biggest difficulty in the weeks to come will be boredom, and

the feeling of being imprisoned.


Today that made me think of the people that are in prison,

confined in a cell.

They, like us, still have things to do that brings a shape or a frame

to the day, but still, if we can not go out and be with other people,

we are imprisoned.

So what do we do?

There is a limit to how much television we can watch,

(or at least there should be),  and we cannot spend all day in front of

the computer either.

Personally I always say: "if you cannot go out, go in"

Read the Bible, meditate on it, and pray the prayers of the Church.

Look inside yourself.

It is an opportunity for you to get to know yourself better, because there is

a depth to us humans that can only really be discovered by disassociating

ourselves more or less from the outside world.


 "Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The Kingdom of God does not come with observation; neither will they say, 'Look, here.' or, 'Look, there.' for the Kingdom of God is within you."

(Luke 17, 20-21 New Heart English Bible)


Some people say that they only believe in things that they can see,

and since they cannot see God they do not believe in His existence.

As an argument it is very weak, since gravity for example, is not

something that we can see either, but it is not advisable to disregard

the reality of it's existence!

To the naked eye a virus is also invisible.

We can affirm that what we can see with our eyes are limited.

But what we can see with the eyes of our soul when we adhere

to the Word of God and put it into practice, is something so beautiful

and so powerful that you know that you can overcome any challenges

that comes your way.

Because you will know without any doubt, that you are not alone.
