“All manner of positivity is Christ’s way of leading us to Him; it is His light beneath our feet.” Father Louis-Marie Parent, O.M.I.

Reflections on the following thought:

According to the teachings of Father Parent, and for me, seeking God in every person and in every event means abstaining from all destructive criticism, whether external or internal, taking a positive view of people and thus welcoming Christ present in them.

Discovering the positive means seeing Christ as a spark that shines in everything and everywhere. It's often when I revisit my daily life that I see the positive things I've experienced on this journey of faith and truth. Every day is a real gift of the presence of the God of Love in my life.

Despite the challenges, of which there are many, it is the “positive” that unites me to Christ, the light that guides my steps!
