Saint Felix of Nola

The Master and the Student

St. Felix of Nola received private lessons in religion. His master, named Alfonso, visited him once a week.

Felix

What does it tell me about God? And what does it represent in our lives?

Afonso

God is the primary source of the universe. Everything that exists derives from his good will. We can observe God through his own creatures and creations. In the wonders of nature, in animals, in the purity of children, in the grandeur of the sky and sea, in the intelligence of scientists, teachers and doctors. God is the support in uncertain times. God is the cure of diseases. God is the faith of the unemployed. God is all the positive vibrations that emanate from good human beings. In short, God is the best part of everything that exists.

Felix

Sometimes I wonder about the unpredictability of the world. Sometimes I also think about the fickleness of the world. Sometimes I think how hard it is to have something safe. Sometimes I think how difficult it is to make the right choices. What do you tell me about that?

Afonso

God is our only security. All other things are fleeting: loves, jobs, family. In an instant, they are gone and leave us in a difficult situation. So, when it is our turn, we can only count on ourselves and God. We are sure of his love as something that does not abandon us in the worst moments. What makes you want to be a Christian and want to be a priest?

Felix

This misunderstanding of the world and people leads me to look to God for answers. As in a movie, we are miserable in search of enlightenment. Many writers make sacred paths, and we are the writers of life. What is the point of living? Where did we come from and where are we going? Why do we care so much about our path and instead live without worry? The saga of Jesus shows us several important teachings, and this amazes me a lot. I want to better understand this path and be a small dot in the universe. I do not know if I will be happy, but the pleasure of the search drives me. Let fate guide us through the darkness. And we will fear nothing. Even if doom stalks us, we can survive with divine faith backing us. This is the mystery of faith that is shown to all men. I want to be a part of it.

Afonso

What is your family's participation in your Christian intention?

Felix

We are all Christians. We are humble people, but with a lot of faith in God. I see my father and mother supporting me in every instance of my faith. I also have my personal motivation and they are not against it. I could get married, start
