Addio, Roma!

Tomorrow morning I am leaving Rome for good.
To all the people and friends I am leaving behind, thank you for having been a part of my life. Immense seas may separate us, different time zones and levels of technology may make communication difficult; but when we remember that the whole world is in God's hands, we can always reach out to each other in one big, warm embrace.
God blesses us always. May we be open to receive God's blessing in whatever form.
Please keep me in your prayers.

Daring to love

But I'd rather suffer these goodbyes than live a superficial life with no deep bonds with anybody. What a sad life. To refuse to love is to waste away and to slowly die.

Once again, on saying goodbye

Saying goodbye is always not easy. The deeper the connection is, the more difficult and heart-wrenching goodbye is.
But saying goodbye gives a certain depth to us because it enables us to appreciate the gifts that we have been given, even when we have to let them go. Saying goodbye reminds us that only God remains. When we have God we have everything.

Saying goodbye

Each time we say goodbye, it breaks our heart so that it can open itself wider and wider until it becomes like the heart of God where each person has a place and finally finds a home.
