L’apostolo Paolo: un buon “compagno di viaggio” per Martini

In this article, I would like to present how Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini considered the Apostle Paul a good ‘travel companion’, to come closer to Christ and to live with Him, in facing trials and on the way to the magis. The experience of weakness leads Paul to a greater trust in the presence of the Lord who works with the power of grace in his life and consoles him in tribulations and suffering. By walking the path of weakness, Paul grows in the awareness of his participation in Christ’s death and resurrection. The difficulties that Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini experiences in his life lead him to greater trust in God to the point of abandoning himself in the hands of the Lord, as he is increasingly aware that power comes from the hands of God.
