“Blessed of My Father When you think your neighbor thinks he's your brother, your friend, your father, your mother, your son Your co-worker, your neighbor, and the one who fell from grace, one who has a bad reputation, young or old, rich or poor, even the sinner is that your neighbor, you save the old grudges, above all that is the closest; because in each and every one and in you the Lord Jesus lives. When helping an old man cross the street, when you visit in jail to your friend, when you give water to a pilgrim, when you want to open your heart to someone, when you can forgive the unforgivable when you give to those most in need remember that good or bad you do, you will also be to your Lord that guides us in His Word and leads to finding love, of forgiveness and reconciliation. In this vale of tears, in this world in which we live today, We love what thirst, giving more than receiving, in this world that only knows war, of revenge, hatred and indifference, starving children, of abused, mothers aborting their children, of young people take their own lives, of prisoners in overcrowded jails, of kidnapped and tortured, battered women, of those without work, of beggars who roam the night without having to take shelter, so much pain that travels through the streets; they are the neighbor, the elect of the Lord for you to love in their hearts, thirsty for love. If you could change one thing this world if you have more love and compassion for others, was glad the Lord, this land would be more like Paradise, trying to eradicate evil, to be more righteous and pious and not think so much about us, to give shelter to the dying of cold, to give him a plate of food to the helpless, to look from time to time to our side and know that we are not alone, that there is a being who has less than us, and recognizing that before being served other servers are we will be more blessed and more generous in the eyes of the Redeemer.”
