Peter (John, 6:68)

Words surround you in all of your life phases and in every angle of your path.

Respectable words refer to your duties.

Friendly words brought by dedications which console and fortify you.

Opinions about matters with which you have very little to do.

Suggestions from several origins.

Valuable speeches.

Empty discourses that your ears throw away at the wind.

Spoken words... written words...

However, among the several spoken or silent verbal expressions in which your mind lives, you will find the words of eternal life.

Keep your heart listening to them.

They are born from the unsearchable heart of Christ, like pure water from theunlimited bottom of Nature.

Sometimes you are indifferent to them, unperceived of their notice, song, lesson and beauty.

Keep watching in the world, separated from yourself so that you do not losetheir taste and clearness.

They exhort you to think over God's greatness and to live in accordance with His Laws.

They refer to the planet as our home and Humankind as our family.

Through love they reveal the bond which unites all of us.

Through work they show our path of evolution and improvement.

They unveil Divine horizons of life and teach us to raise up our eyes towards the heighest and furthermost.

Words, words, words...

Forget the words which invite you to unusufulness and profit from those which show you fair duties and teach how to make your life great. However, do not forget the phrases which awake for the light and good. They may reach your heart through a friend, a letter, a page or a book but, in fact, they awaysproceed from Jesus, the Divine Friend of all.

Keep with you the words of eternal life since they make the spirit holy, in each life experience and, above all, they are our safe help during the difficult times of great renewals.
