Já, Bůh a Fidel - Knězem na komunistické Kubě – Pías Alberto Reyes (2017)

If we start to look with our hearts, we cannot remain the same... We cannot sleep peacefully if another suffers, nor can we digest well if another is hungry. If we decide to love, our happiness will depend on the happiness of others. And worse still – there is no turning back; no matter how much our minds try to extinguish this light. So it is with God. It is normal for life to change when someone becomes 'something more.' If God becomes 'something more' than you were used to, you will take His matters and interests as your own, His intention will become the ideal of your being. And then comes the question that complicates everything, the question that terrifies us and causes us problems: 'What do you want me to do?' Temperamental Alberto gives testimony to his somewhat winding path to the priesthood. He grew up in Cuba, in a beautiful believing family, but in a not-so-beautiful regime of Fidel Castro. Nevertheless, he got into medicine, had a relationship, and a promising future was opening up before him... The narrative is fresh, at times even humorous, yet it does not lack depth – between the lines of the personal story, mature spiritual wisdom shines through many times.
