"Charity never faileth"

(I Corinthians 13:8)

Whoever chooses lofty intentions in the performance of his activities, will never run into failure.

Whoever wholeheartedly forgives any offense does not harbor repentance in his soul.

Whoever sees himself misunderstood in doing a worthy act, receives in his favor the understanding of the Compassion of Heaven.

Whoever aims at the interest of his fellow man in the work at hand merely discovers reasons for having confidence in his own success.

Whoever studies to aid somebody else with the torch of knowledge, will invariably attain apprenticeship.

Whoever sacrifices himself to reduce the suffering of those who surround his path acquires new realms of essential happiness.

Whoever strives to live pure love under any aspect, is always right at the decisive moment.

That is why the apostle stated to the brothers in Corinth: "Charity never faileth. " Actually charity expresses perfection among the manifestations of man and flows in its fundamentals from the Infinite Love of God.

An act of charity bears within it an indestructible mortar of the Eternal Perfection, composed of wisdom and justice, work and solidarity, confidence and peace.

Error becomes impractical for the spirit when the heart forgives unconditionally, studies with dignity or works disinterestedly.

Thus the light of charity is never extinguished.

Where it appears, controversies become fraternal colloquies, sadness becomes happiness, discouragement loses its reason for being and souls accelerate their flight in the evolutionary wake.

Many apprentices of the truth avidly search for the ideal formula for victory in life, yet it shines there within the grasp of anyone learned in the infinite gradations of charity.

Let us, then, strive to continue without failures.

Turn your gaze toward the inner cosmos and proceed with an appraisal of your own conduct according to the only criterion of sublime virtue and you will be seeing in yourself the battle without falls and the light without shadows, under the sanction of Him who is All Love and All Justice.
