32 Sun C Lk 20.38 God of the living...

The Catechist observed the children drawing and asks a girl: what her drawing shows. The girl replied: "I'm drawing God". The Catechist mentioned: "But no one
knows what God looks like". The girl: "Wait a moment, they will see it very soon."

What the girl is creatively doing "DRAWING GOD", humanity is doing since homo sapiens is an earth; all over, everytime, since of old people design God.
We are all designer of God.
The histroy of "designing God" is very interesting: Some have drew him as victorious warrior, as terrible revenge, as patriarch, king, creator (allmighty,
merciful, full of love...) You remember Marduk, Isis, Zeus, Wotan, Jahwe etc.. HOW IS GOD ?  God looks like ?

For the religious people it's a very brutal discovery: in reality we do not know it.
No Religion, NO Church, NO Theology, NO Profet knows "HOW IS GOD". The real Christian Theology will tell you first: God is absolute MYSTERY !
[Jesus - as a child of his time - has known the God of his people: the Jahwe-God
and his contribution to the new designing of God is still a surprise].

Exactly because God is absolute MYSTERY, there is no other way for humans
than to decide HOW we see God! To speak about God means to design God.
The contributing factors to this historical designing are not all well known and some of them unconscious. Look Pope Francis: Once a hart man now designing God as merciful. The mother telling the child: God will punish you, has designed
the image of God as punishing. The Cath. Church spaeking about "ens absolutum"
has given God the image of the highest all-embracing entity.

Dead people do not design God - it's over! Only the living people of every time
are drawing God; making a picture of HIM, they decide which image of God to propagate. God is all the time the "God of the living" (his image is made esp. by the religious people).. Only living people are designing and make decisions.

Today we are invited to go to this level of consciouness and to become aware which picture of God we are drawing; we are presenting. I hope you enjoy the creative task to give God an attractive image.
