Why have I created this blog?

This is my first post on my new blog. I will write here about God, faith and spiritual life. I have been interested in personal development since 2010. For me, spiritual development is the most important of all spheres of personal development.

In a sense, writing about God and spirituality is quite easy for me, because my own spiritual development has been lasting since my childhood. I am a Catholic and I have been living in Poland since my birth. I am grateful to God for all His graces that I have from Him. God gave me my life, my wife and so many things and experiences that formed me. All experiences in my life have great significance to me. 

I strongly believe that we, people, are here in this world to give goodness to other people, to enjoy our lives and make a significant contribution to other people's lives. 

Writing this blog will help me in realising my relationship with God, I will have a chance to look at my daily spiritual life. I know that I can change many things in my life, thanks to His grace. "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me" (Philippians 4,13).

In my quite long life (in June 2019 I will be 47 years old) there were plenty of experiences and situations that made me who I am today. I do not regret anything in my life, apart from this fact that I did not start writing this blog earlier (currently I am writing a few blogs, some in Polish, some in English). 

I believe in God's Providence and God's care, I believe that what I do in my life has some meaning and sense, I like looking for possibilities of helping other people. I strongly believe that life is beautiful and if we live in accordance with God's commandments, our life can become more and more beautiful, joyous and peaceful.

"What is it to be a Christian?" (according to Peter Kreeft)

Currently I am reading the book entitled "Your Questions, God's Answers" (by Peter Kreeft). There are 64 questions and the same number of answers given by the author. The answers are very important if we want to understand our Catholic faith. One of the questions is the following: "What is it to be a Christian?" The author writes that "different people will give different answers to that question". Then, he continues to explain that it is Jesus who knows the answer to that question. I will quote the author's words: "What does he say? He (Jesus) says his followers are to become parts of him, incorporated into his body. "I am the vine, and you are the branches" (Jn 15:5) - the same life, the same plant. A Christian is a branch of Christ, a part of Christ. Together, Christians are the Church, the body of Christ (Eph 5:30; Col 1:18)." I am a Catholic. I believe that all I have to know is written in the Bible. God gave us Hi...

What is spiritual development? (my opinion)

Spiritual development is everything that brings me closer to God, that which is related to my prayer life. When do I know that I am growing spiritually? It seems to me that my development (i.e. progress) is expressed in the fact that I am calmer year by year believing that I am heading towards God, towards heaven, towards my final destiny. I don't often reflect on how much I have developed spiritually during my life. Certainly, my attendance at Mass (at least on Sundays and feast days), my participation in the sacraments (e.g., Penance, Holy Communion, Anointing of the Sick), and my daily prayer help me to grow spiritually. I also observe my emotions, my attitude towards people, my falls into one sin or another, I observe if my relationships with people are better, if I as a person become more generous and kind towards my neighbour and the Catholic Church. I am already 49 years old, and age obliges one to become better and better man. I believe that a Christian should develop spiri...

Your questions, God's answers - about a book written by Peter Kreeft.

Yesterday I managed to buy some books - some of them in Italian and some in English. Nearly all of them are connected with faith and God. I'd like to write something about one of these books, namely "Your Questions, God's Answers". The book (author: Peter Kreeft) may be useful for teenagers and their parents. On the back cover of this book we can read: "Kreeft uses Scripture to provide God's profound answers to the most common and important questions young people ask about the deeper meaning of life, their own identity, overcoming failure and temptation, the mystery of God's love, and much more." My copy was published by Ignatius Press. It consists of 121 pages. In my opinion the questions and answers (there are 64 questions) may help teenagers and their parents in their conversations. Some of the questions are: "How can I find out who I really am?", "How will the Bible help me to know myself?", "How can I understand...
