From the FIRES booklet by Gabriel
Calvo
„Remember: God’s Fire is within you, inside your family
life. Do not waste the time searching outside for what is deeply
inside.
FAMILIES
ARE GOD’S FIRES!”
„FAMILIES are the heart of FIRES. Its meaning, its focus,
its dream...
FAMILIES, as they have been created by God...
FAMILIES, the hope of the future...
FAMILIES, the school of faith, love and intercommunication...
FAMILIES, God’s FIRES to transform humankind into one FAMILY:
the Family of God, where everybody is brother and sister because
they
feel they are God’s sons and daughters...”
„Intercommunication is the most important and urgent need
in most of today’s families...
Without intercommunication:
We cannot survive...
We become selfish individuals, robots, things...
We live like islands...”
„We are not just individuals or things. We are persons, related
to others and God. Thus we cannot live like islands. We are deeply
called to relate to each other and to God.”
„The need to be „in relationship” reaches to the depth
of the human spirit. Underneath most emotional, mental, spiritual
and
even religious
problems is a problem with relationships.”
„Family is where relationships must begin. Relationships are
what make the difference between houses and homes...”
