THE WORLD OF THE SPIRIT
Versão para cópia
AT HOME
No one escapes the law of reincarnation.
Yesterday we betrayed the confidence of a companion, inducing him to moral downfall.
Today we still have in the form of a difficult relative who demands incessant sacrifice of us.
Yesterday we abandoned the young woman who loved us by inclining her to plunge into the pool of vice.
Today we have her back as a misunderstood daughter who is in need of our love.
Yesterday, we implanted pride and vanity in the bosom of a brother who was following our least desirable examples.
Today we share with him as a despotic husband or a problem child, the bitter chalice of redemption.
Yesterday we forgot long-standing engagements, dragging someone to suicide.
Today, we re-encounter the same someone in the person of a son or daughter, the bearer of an irreversible disease, tutoring him, at the price of tears, in the work of readjustment.
Yesterday we abandoned the inexperienced companion, placing her, for want of all assistance, in the clutches of delinquency.
Today we find her at our side, in the presence of the perturbed and suffering wife, to demand our abiding in the indefatigable course of tolerance.
Yesterday, we lacerated the sensitive soul of affectionate and devoted parents, causing their spirit to bleed with dagger thrusts of ingratitude.
Today we are caught in the brambles, in the form of the home, bearing burdens of anguish in order to learn to inculcate affection and fidelity. .
In the face of all difficulties and trials, always bless and do your best.
Help those who share their experience with you, pray for those who persecute you, smile at those who injure you and pardon all those who hurt you.
Humility is the key to our release.
And regardless of what your obstacles in the family may be, it is necessary to recognize that all moral construction in the kingdom of God vis-à-vis the world begins in the visible bases of straggle at home.
Emmanuel
