+We need to reconfigure our goals, our purpose, our perspective. What is it that
+makes us what we are? What is the purpose of our life? We need to rediscover the
+role of God for what we are. He wants to be source and target at the same time.
+He wants to be the one who loves us and is with us. He wants to be the goal and
+target of my life - in the sense of being the power and spiritual entity which
+defines who I am and what particular goals and targets I follow. This is what
+the New Testament calls to live "in him". In him there is a deep and true
+conversation starting, there is freedom, there is truth and love and mercy.
