In the midst of my meditations on the relationship between faith and reason, of philosophy and theology, I was inspired to finally read "L'Autobiographie," one which I have not bothered to touch in the recent months. What struck me was the simplicity of faith that the Little Flower (or, as we say, the unoffical patron saint of our Basic Ecclesial Community in San Jose Seminary for being the, ehem, most photographed saint--which tells a lot about us, anyway) bears in her daily living. This brings forth the heavy implications of Christian life: if it is for the simple, then why elaborate on its great tradition with a distinct critical approach from the eyes of faith?

Abangan ang susunod na kabanata. Reason and Christian Faith in a few months.

When people say this book is "great," they are not referring to its grandeur nor its literary worth. Instead, this simple and honest book is great because it is "good." Reading it brings us close to a soul so pure, we in this modern age can hardly believe that such a soul existed and not too long ago. Truly unforgettable, and worth rereading again and again.
