We still listened, through the voice of the memory, the narrative of those worlds that God, in His infinite wisdom and creativity, has generated for all.
We felt us very small in the presence of the magnitude of the work of God, and though, we are, ourselves, His more beautiful creation.
The man is like a Milky Way of stars, in the composition of his body; in the million and million of cells that aggregate themselves in his formation; in the blood that streams revitalizing him; in the resplendent thought; in the perfect mechanism of the vision.
God has created the Spirit in state of simplicity, but the Spirit is destined at the perfection, animating a body which is one of the most perfect manifestations of the Creator’s works.
Though, the man, this man that divulges that nothing repeats itself on the universe, that everything renews itself, the man repeats in himself the millennial mistakes of the past. They continue addicted at the lie, at the vanity, at the selfishness, at the pride, and at the hypocrisy.
Beloved children, renew yourselves in this area; eliminate of yourselves this ancient rancidity; revitalize the moral cells so deteriorated.
When the man begins his circumnavigation through the incarnation, they seem to attire like one who puts on a mantle, all the moral cowardices and they proceed for life. They are contradicting themselves, and lying, and calumniating, and distorting, and dissembling. They get to be even hypocritical in the religious area, this, probably, the most serious of the hypocrisies.
The hypocritical religious person is who appearing on the tribunes, at the altars, at the pulpits and he with arrogance proclaims the moral perfection and the celestial virtues. But, not even he can look inside of himself, for the marsh where wallow his moral mutilations.
Why does have to be like this?
Why is one who think that a religious person not develop a coherence among what is preached and what is practiced?
Why does that millennial weakening traverse the centuries and does it stay in the man in the same way?
Why the man strengthen in the evil and of it does seem not to want to exit?
Those that religious persons are said are the most fragile in that area. They are speaking in the Gospel, they are speaking in Jesus and in the beauty of His teachings and, however, late in the night in the meeting with themselves, a gloomy world is unveiled, where they perish morally.
My very dear brethren, when we say to you persevere in the good, best we would say to you promote the good in yourselves.
It is beautiful the charity practiced to our neighbor that suffers. Why then doesn’t practice it in relation to yourselves?
Practice the charity with you! Eradicate the defects, the crafty and vicious thought that frequently settles on your mind.
Dear brethren, travel other pathways, seek another road, because we are illuminated by Christ's divine light.
We must rethink our attitudes, we must avoid the unnecessary and foolish lies. We must refuse the infantile attitudes of denial of the truth and we must affront fearless, the consequences of our actions.
Be righteous! Jesus say us. Be righteous, we lowly repeat.
May peace of Jesus be with you, today, tomorrow, and forever!
