9. Description of each theme 1 : To Recognize the Heritage of God To identify our participation in the rich heritage of divine life presented in three parts. The first divine heritage, God gives it, that of being created in his image and likeness. The second, he calls us to it, this is our baptismal vocation. The third heritage, he offers it to us, that is our lives commitment. 2 : Eliminate Frustration NeitherGodnor society likes frustration. But each of them proposes differentmethods for eliminating or integratingit. In this formation, wewillseewhatGod proposes to us and what society suggests. Wewill observe thatitis not astonishingthateach one has a different point of view. 1: To Recognize the Heritage of God It wouldbe good to beatthis first meeting for itis basic. I could have written: « How have we been created to be capable of recognizingGodwhen He revealsHimself to us?  » 2: Eliminate Frustration As usual, I do not divulge to youstraighawaymy secret, but I believethat the onlyelementthatGod and society agreeuponperfectlyisthatneitherlikes frustration.

How should the New Evangelizationbroachthis challenge? 3: FindingInteriorPeaceT A secret, betweenyou and me, interiorpeaceis the fruit of interiorfreedom. It isfreedomthatwe must seek and peacewill come to us by the samefact. Wewill come back to this in this formation. 4: To ThankGod For thistheme, I almostwrote: « Don’t go to Mass if you have not had an experience of God. » But, itis not politically correct for a priest to say to people not to attend Mass.
