How to verify the virtue of religion in our acts of adoration, 5 ‘moments of truth’

Oktober, 9nd 2023 – While the war for reality is raging around us, father Elias Leyds C.S.J. started a couple of weeks ago in FilioQue in English, a collection of short reflections on the topic of ‘that fight‘. 

He uses again realism and helps us to understand why religion or being religious, one of the virtues of life is what we need, to give meaning to reality and to reach our goals, our purpose in life. So the question remains: what does it take to live the virtue of religion?

In the previous sessions Father Elias Leyds c.s.j. introduced ‘Adoration‘ as a fundamental act of religious life. He answered the question whether we can be forced to adore, and if we do not adore, whether we should be punished for not doing so?

Knowing that adoration out of free will is an act of justice, we can still ask the question: are we doing it in the right way? We have to check the virtue of religion in the act we are doing.

Father Elias gives us a good direction in how to test or qualify our deeds of adoration. There are five 5 ‘steps of verification’ to test and purify our religious life, in the moments of adoration. It gives us a guide towards a real authentic religious life

1. Movement – go to a special place, a sacred place specially prepared for the Lord

2. Adoration – really adore the One who is, and who always shall be

3. Offer a sacrifice

4. Mediation – Reflect on the good things revceived and / or the good people you have met which you want to transmit to others..

5. Decide on an action, how to respond to God to answer his call
