The Marcial Maciel affair forces us to ask the question of Evil. Our time avoids rubbing shoulders with it. What do we know about the work of the devil and what can we do to protect ourselves from it? After trying to hide the good in life, is it any wonder that evil comes to light? The works of the devil are innumerable, but the Holy Spirit can do everything, especially transform them.
It was necessary to have the faconde of Léon Bloy to assert: "There is only one sadness, that of not being holy". This heady question of holiness always returns like a season that does not pass. There are many things we can get rid of, but never the question of holiness is part of it. She is consubstantial to us. As soon as we see or witness something just or unfair, something related to good or evil, we are on the way to holiness. Whether towards her or against her. It takes a long time to realize how consubstantial the question of holiness is. We are holy, we are a temple, we started from the Church which is holy, we are in the image of God who is holy, and yet we are eating up, we fall, we pain, we are embedded ... so little results for so many promises. The condition of saint requires quantity of effort and gives few visible results.
