Lord ... My God ... how much pride there is in man! ... You who have given us all ... you've put the whole creation in our hands ... and we, with our inordinate selfishness and our pride ... we have won nothing, slandered and killed each other ... war after war, we destroyed your inheritance ... and now try to blame you for everything you have done ... of course, is easier ... more convenient ... and let me cleaner conscience, "the fault is not mine but of God that does not end hunger and war in the world "...
I remember hearing John Paul II referred to "social mortgage" that we all carry on our shoulders ... we are the ones responsible for the sins of the world ... I encourage our actions ... or lack of them! ... It is incumbent upon us the weight of what happens to the smallest and defenseless inhabitants of this planet ... But it is better to turn the look in another direction and think that is the fault of another ... the One, which pudiéndolo all, choose not to do anything ...
But how far from the truth! ... How great the blindness of men ... it does not realize that they themselves are the instruments that you've created to bring justice, peace and love for this dying world ...
"But what I can do for someone who dies of hunger across the world?", You ask someone ... or, "How do I go, one, to stop a war?" ... And, you know what? ... are right, my Lord ... it is true that we can do little about what is happening in Africa or Iran or Afghanistan ... but I can do "something" for everyone who want to pass me ...
That want to be my prayer tonight ... let me see clearly the pain and misery I have at my side ... my heart not only pity and suffer with them, but can incarnate in each of my words and deeds to them ... and so one good deed at a time, go slowly transforming the world ...
I also want to introduce you to Joe ... and all these "Joes" who, like him, refuse the precious gift of faith that you want to give away ... bless them and grant them the grace to get to know you ... Amen ...
