People of God, we are a family, a church, brothers and sisters, not just words but a spiritual reality, we are supposed to live in fraternal love, listen and help those in need.
The order of the day asks us to visit and hurt someone who is of lower social rank.
Proverbs 14:21 – He who despises his neighbor commits a sin, but happy is he who has mercy on the wretched!
Who is our neighbor?
It is our fellow, our brother, the one who is close to us, our opposite, our own flesh, the other us … and we must therefore take a particular interest, we must look after each other.
We may be Christians but we are human and we must not disconnect from the society in which we live.
When it comes to help, we must not be too squat on who is entitled to it.
This morning’s verse poses no conditions or constraints. He’s talking about the next guy.
I think God has done this express because we are in a society where everyone helps according to his interest, we help to better control and subjugate, we help to be glorified and to have the honors.
Even in church, it is common currency, we help because we are in the same community or by affinity.
God has asked us to love one another and this love is pouring out of the community, even the poor who are not Christians will benefit.
We already have a few means, we do not want to frequent some people even in our families, we feel that they are too dirty, they live in the slums, we avoid to the maximum of rubbing with them, we want We do not even know that we ever had a relationship with them.
Why?
Because they are in a lower class than ours.
We feel that we are no longer at the same level, we do not need to see each other together, we feel more comfortable flying with birds of the same plumage than us, we even change our phone numbers always for avoid contact, we feel so much more important, too much, too zealous to flirt with those who wander and waste their time.
God says that this fictitious glory that we are raising destroys us is sin.
And we are in the month of humility, and in an attitude of humility, let us manage things, go to the sub-districts to donate,
to do good works, to make someone happy, to do good, we do not need to know who the person we are helping, we just need to get her out of a dark situation, and to do that we we need to go to her and reach out to her.
This is also humility.
It is also to be lowered so that the Lord raises us.
So let’s pray to give thanks to God for this commandment and implore our Father’s forgiveness.
Hello again
Have a good day
