Abstract: In a purely consumerist world, deeply rooted in the beauty of this planet, addicted to tangible and material things, talking about spirituality, God and moral aspects of everyday life is more than abstract. Even so, one cannot deny that there are still people concerned with the spiritual dimension of the world. But the things that pull us from ignorance and the epicurean way of thinking are suffering and death, which do not provide enough meaning to existence and life. Therefore, indirectly, we can identify two kinds of people: those who can handle life’s tests (disease, suffering, difficulties of all kinds etc.) for people of faith know that suffering and illness can be overcome in Christ - Doctor souls and bodies -, and others who feel confused and without any support to the tests, because their hope lies within themselves or other people, although these things cannot satisfy the thirsty soul's desire for God.
