This is well said.<br />I personally understand the longing for children, and the temptation to create them, as it were, in my image, through technology... if we allow the desire to become the end, then we canrationalize such a thing.<br />But when we understand that desire unsatisfied speaks of something more, we learn a great lesson about what it truly means to be human. That desire is not an end in itself, but rather a vehicle by which we are reminded that this is not our home - that desire points us to fullness of life in eternity.<br />When we embrace desire and all the longing and sadness that can accompany it- especially that desire for life which is so GOOD - and offer it as a sacrifice, we unite ourself to the suffering of Christ and at the same time enter a more intimate hope of that day when we will all be in communion with the Lord of Life, and all desires will be fulfilled beyond our wildest imaginings...<br />Then, we WILL have a life that is truly free, total, faithful and fruitful in communion.Christine Falk Dalessiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10079647740999376500noreply@blogger.com
