Ardently solicit Celestial Protection, but do not forget the succor to which you feel constrained on the terrestrial path.

The Angel hears man to the extent that man heeds his own brothers.

You expect a jubilant assurance for those who were born in your domestic team, nevertheless, devote some crumb or other of your own comfort to those who are huddled in discouragement in the den of suffering.

You count upon a just welcome on behalf of those who deserve affection from you, nevertheless, extend some unnecessary portion to the companion who is relegated to bad weather.

You regale yourself with the abundance of bread, but share some slice you don’t really need at the table with those whose stomach is suffering in their undernourished body.

You are joyously thankful for the talents of temporary tranquility which enrich you days.

However devote a few moments of fraternal cooperation on behalf of those who weep without hope.

Rejoice in the luminous faith with which you crown yourself before the world, still do not avoid the alms of peace to those who wander in the darkness.

Be gladdened by the precious health which assures you inner harmony, but still protect the forgotten invalid who holds out his arms to you eager for understanding.

You lift up your voice to the Celestial Temple. Meanwhile, thousands of voices every day arise the human darkness seeking the way to your heart.

Here it is someone asking you for the blessing of sympathy. Further on it is someone who asks for your cooperation.

Ask, then, while helping.

Remember that you also can help and serve as much as you are able.

By faith you shall rise to the Lord with your entreaty, but by charity the Lord will come down to meet you, so that your hands may be enriched by love in the construction of the Kingdom of Light.

Emmanuel
