HUMAN SOUL

In this world everything that exists has a purpose, serves to something, it exists for a reason or several, this is the theme of our meditation today.

The human being is, exists, in prominently manner, this is one of the questions we all ask ourselves in our most intimate thoughts, but we are the unique being in the world that can do so, because it is the soul and its spiritual operations exclusively that are not material all other entities are matter, and matter follows its fatal laws, and do not have the possibility to change them. The soul and its operations, such as:  love, the exercise of freedom, the ability to think, free will, feelings, have by contrast  a freedom that can be described as unlimited, as far as we know there are no boundaries, for example in the Love of God, we can not see where it ends, where its maximum is.

 The soul and its capabilities in general constantly produce its fruits, unique novelties, always goes into new accomplishments, creativity continues without repetition in works of art, music, film, automobile industry, aviation, marvels in engineering and construction, chemically synthesized products, literary works or the countless productions of the arts, in the progress of science, new invented products and processes of production, trades, professions and in general of all human activities.

And the soul with its main instrument  the human brain, and its freedom, tends to yield its fruits when the proper conditions are rigth. And painfully  this is one of the great problems of humanity, its shortcomings, the lack of conditions that lead to opportunities for adequate progress in the spiritual life, which only exists for some, but not for all those who have superior ability to think, act, create, conceive beyond what has been taught, to be better than their teachers, to break the barriers and escape, to resolve what was apparently insoluble, to see beyond others, to help those who have not been able, or have not achieved an adequate improvement.

We can not fail to mention the gifts of genius or superior talent in one or an other area, that are not distributed equally, whether it is physical appearance or the conditions of time and place, this, we will leave between the mysteries that God gives to everyone. But many have had the possibility but not the opportunity to have flourished  being the expediency latent throughout the life of the person, who has owned the power, without the, chance to be developed, not even manifest itself, because human life and its shortcomings have been  unable or failed to provide the necessary conditions.

Of course this is a widespread concern and the human race struggles to educate its members, but the efforts and resources are not always sufficient.

With this consideration in mind, it stands, I dare say, the paramount importance of the spiritual activities in the human person, over the material nature, which concern more than anything to keep alive the body. Most of the needs of man are spiritual,  whether a minimum of conditions are necessary to cover the primary physiological needs: shelter, clothing and sustenance, but once these are covered, it is the education of their Catholic faith, the teaching of the doctrine of Jesus Christ, the example of love of God, which stands above all other needs and which are necessary for eternal salvation. This was considered important in the conquest of New Spain, (America) who provided such rich fruit at the time and continues giving it to Latin America. We now have the figure close to half of the faithful of the Catholic Church in the world.

 God wants all of us to save our soul, and certainly this is so, it could not be otherwise since God is Love and God would not have created us for eternity without ensuring the possibility of happiness forever, but God leaves us free to choose since we are the only created free beings in the world and not just for  this short life, but the eternal one. The primary mission concerning the Catholic Church is the salvation of souls, and is concerned  for the destiny that each will have, destiny that will be known to every individual, in the trial to have before Christ immediately after death.

Considering, our salvation is therefore of utmost importance, it is the final purpose of human beings and we should focus on it, nothing, nothing can be more important in our lives. It can be said that we exist for salvation, but based on the freedom that the Creator has given us we can choose not to consider it the absolute finality, and change it for the ersatz ie. "the earthly happiness" by the ambiguity of  "you only live once” , or other similar. That is the worst human error. The truth is we have to live this life to save ourselves for eternity.

Human beings have an infinite number of purposes in their existence, but all should be oriented to achieve salvation. Purpose of purposes.
