The Intriguing Relationship between Curiosity and Faith
Curiosity is one of the first reactions of those who sense a belief in the supernatural. Conversations around this topic are often filled with questions aimed at understanding the meaning of faith, its impact on everyday life, and how it imbues everything with a truly supernatural meaning, beyond liturgical practices, tradition, and religious institutions.
Deep, sustained prayer builds an intimacy with the supernatural that permeates all aspects of life, from work to social interactions, from everyday conversations to moments of personal enjoyment. This supernatural consciousness transforms and fills every aspect of existence, granting a sensation of strength and accompaniment, making each experience resonate on a transcendental plane.
Faith and the Relationship with the Supernatural in Daily Life
Faith and the relationship with the supernatural do not follow a linear path, as they are influenced by the complexity of the human condition. Even believers sometimes tend to perceive the divine as something distant from their daily affairs. However, humanity becomes an instrument for proximity to the supernatural if it is put at the service of this connection, instead of constituting an insurmountable obstacle.
The life of Carlo Acutis, a young Italian who will be canonized, exemplifies how faith and the relationship with the supernatural not only impacts lives considered ‘normal’, but also influences the way we face our flaws and wounds. Holiness, seen as a common territory between the earthly and the divine, transcends ecclesial barriers and manifests itself as a condition before the supernatural, sensitive to good and greatness in everyday life.
Holiness as an Everyday Possibility
Holiness, far from being an achievement reserved for a few, is revealed as a possibility accessible to all. Ordinary life becomes the stage where dialogue with the supernatural is established, offering practical inspiration and a lived faith that illuminates the transcendental meaning of existence. Divine grace transforms human relationships and environments, showing that holiness is an everyday life that not only offers hope, but also gives meaning to life.
Curiosity, as a starting point to understand faith, awakens humanity’s consciousness towards the supernatural, allowing each individual, regardless of their initial understanding of belief, to approach the divine with the certainty of not being abandoned, but rather called to holiness.
