the first shall be last

We have a Father who is all affection, all love. We have guides with so much faith and love. God ha made us worthy to fall into such hands. Therefore, let us struggle! We lead a beautiful angelic life! One must only devote himself to watchfullness. He needs to place his thoughts beautifully in order, in other words, with reason and good sense. He should say, “I must become last of all so that I can be saved.” Whoever goes up to the front, Christ takes to the back, and whoever is in the back, Christ will bring to the front.

knock again and again

There was a man who was deprived of divine grace for thirty years, but he did not despair; he put his hope in Christ and would say, “My Christ, better late than never,” because Christ does not lie. He is not like us. As perfect God, He is all love, all affection, all joy and peace. Seeing us knocking persistently on the door, with much love and forbearance. Christ will open to us. When we go to a house and ring the doorbell, if they do not open to us, then we ring again and again, waiting because they may be somewhere inside. In the end they come and open to us. If we had left, we would have missed out.

Let us persistently knck on the door, and the Lord will open to us, because He loves us. He loves us so much!

through prayer

Through prayer we will heal our brother’s wound and overcome every difficult situation. When a person understands that he is a zero, he neither gets angry, nor speaks unkindly, nor argues, but instead he prays for others.
