THE STORY OF AN UNBELIEVER WHO IS BECOMING A BELIEVER:
Oreste’s powerful and virile encounter with God slowly develops into a close relationship between a loving Father and a son who learns to open his heart more and more to God’s grace. He becomes more aware of not wanting to ‘use’ God for his own needs but rather wanting to be ‘used by’ God for His purpose. He becomes available to serve the spiritual and material needs of others, near and far. What we are shown is a marvellous exchange: if you take care of the Kingdom of God, He, the Lord, will take care of you and your life in a very concrete way… according to the trustworthy words of Jesus himself: So do not worry, saying, “What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?” For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:31-33).
