Creation Time - Day 5 - Worldwide travel


Day 5 - Wordwide travel
Now a traveler came to the rich man.” (2Sam 12,4)

The strenghtening of love is maybe the real purpose and proof’s right to exist of travelling. From the story of the Biblical parable we can not know why and what kind of traveller arrived to the rich man, but it is sure that his (explicit or suspected) appeasement of his supply needs is the cause of the conflict, the flagrant injustice towards the poor people. In the parable between the rich and poor man, the third, the traveller’s arrival doesn’t cause the strenghtening of love in no wise. The apostle Paul’s letter to the romans, and apostle Peter’s first letter both warn the christian community’s very own basic norm: the mutual love. According to Peter „above all, ceaselessly” we must strive to love (vö. 1Pet 4,8), according to Paul we don’t owe anybody else, just with this love. (vö. Rom 13,8). That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ «(vö. Ef 1,9–10; Kol 1,19–20). The nature it is not available as „a batch of accidentally scattered debris, instead as God’s benefaction, which point out the order in him dwelleth; and implicate the people in a commanding guidance with this for cultivate and retain this nature. (Ter 2,15)” (Pope Benedict XVI. : Caritas in veritate, 48.)
