Haiti, you are in our Prayers



Let us keep our brothers and sisters in Haiti in our thoughts and prayers as they are recovering from the effects of the earthquake that devastated their country.

In addition to the gift of prayer, other ways in which we can offer assistance is by uniting our efforts with those of various agencies and organizations, which are already providing relief for our suffering brothers and sisters in Haiti.

The Terrible Evil



This evil is like a helmet that presses me, like a rope that hangs me, thorns that hurt me, its eyes are burning coal that burn my mouth.

It is a sword of two edges, which crosses my heart, it is as a harmful virus that hurts the marrow of my bones, it affects me, debilitates me, takes the will from me, breaks the bones of my legs, prevents me from walking; and if perhaps I wanted to crawl, it would show me that there is dirty water and is not possible to pass.
Death is an illusion and Life is disappointment, a way of perdition, and the flesh of the body rots. This evil is worse than any curse. Who is this terrible evil? Depression

Diseases of the Soul


We will start by defining that avarice is the spiritual and psychological incapacity that prevents sharing. There are many serious defects of character, but avarice is one of the most critical and mortal. Therefore, is necessary to describe very clearly what is the meaning of been materialistic, possessive, domineering and certainly avaricious.Logically, there are people, who take care of the product of their efforts, who administer their resources and are conscientious about saving. But this is not avarice. Avarice is the meanness of consciousness, the lack of empathy, understanding and affection. It has many faces, not only the economic, but the intellectual, emotional and happens because of a total lack of real love. The greedy, has opposite parameters to the parameters of humanity and for this reason, he will never be happy. The person who can't share, who can't give, is worse than the heart of a dead person. The greedy is alive, but does not feel, not even how his own heart beats. He does not know his real needs, like familiarity and the real need to give. Because, there is an important aspect in the life of the man, who is to be like a tree, which is capable of giving good fruits. The miser never shares, he wrongly thinks that he deserves everything. He also suffers from spiritual blindness and in front of suffering and anguish, he feels totally indifferent. The man who does not have commitment with his fellow beings, can badly call himself, human. But, the subject here looks for a solution. Then, let's take into account the following: If the human society lives without charity, not knowing generosity, locking herself in indolence and in ungratefulness, this will take us to a totally egoistic and self centered civilization. And as consequence, the affection, the tenderness and understanding will not be developed. We have to overcome the avarice and in order to do this, we have to recognize that the heart must beat, not only to a rhythm, not only with a proposal, but in communion, as if humanity was an orchestra. Then, we will discover the wealth of serving, and the spiritual art of giving and receiving.
