Fire

Blaise Pascal

Year of Grace 1654

 From about half past ten at night to about half an hour after midnight,

FIRE

“God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob” (Exodus 3:6), not of philosophers and scholars.

Certitude, heartfelt joy, peace.

God of Jesus Christ.

God of Jesus Christ.

“My God and Your God” (John 20:17).

“Your God shall be my God” (Ruth 1:16).

The world forgotten, everything except God.

He can only be found by the ways that have been taught in the Gospels.

Greatness of the human soul.

“O righteous Father, the world has not known You, but I have known You” (John 17:25).

Joy, Joy, Joy, tears of joy.

I have separated myself from him.

“They have forsaken me, the spring of living water” (Jeremiah 2:13)

“My God, will you leave me?” (cf. Matthew 2746).

Let me not be cut off from him forever!

“Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (John 17:3).

Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ.

I am separated from him; for I have shunned him, denied him, crucified him.

May I never be separated from him.

He can only be kept by the ways taught in the gospel.

Complete and sweet renunciation.

Total submission to Jesus Christ and to my director.

Everlasting joy in return for one day’s striving upon earth.

“I will not neglect your word” (Psalm 119:16) Amen
.

by Blaise Pascal – Discovered on a piece of parchment on which Pascal recorded the decisive experience of 1654 when he was converted. This testimony was found sewn into his clothing after his death. It appears that he carried it with him at all times. (Os Guinness)
