We experience happy events in our lives. Balls and entertainment are held.\u00a0In the middle of these days, we can notice that there are people around us who are not laughing, not rejoicing.\u00a0Why?\u00a0They are sick, the pain distorts their faces instead of smiling.\u00a0Indeed, many cannot remember the last time they laughed. Today, the Church wants to remind us of something in the Gospel.\u00a0Jesus loved all people.\u00a0After all, his arrival on Earth is the biggest proof of that. Jesus did not preach sorrow.\u00a0His teaching – the gospel means glad tidings.\u00a0Although we have no record of Jesus laughing or joking, we cannot say that he did not know how to enjoy himself.\u00a0He was happy when mothers brought their children to him.\u00a0He rejoiced when he returned a living daughter to Jairus, the wife of Naim with an only son, Martha, and Mary, the brother of Lazarus. but he was happy, even though he was recovering, and this Gospel also says: “I want you to be clean!” (Mt 8:3).<\/span><\/p>\n

In our surroundings, we must also notice the suffering and those who need our help.\u00a0The sick man of this gospel was very courageous.\u00a0He came to Jesus himself.\u00a0He disregarded the prohibition under the Mosaic Law.\u00a0He left aside what should have been waiting for him for violating this order, or the consequences.\u00a0The desire to be healthy was stronger than everything else.\u00a0In those days, such a person did not arouse the interest of others, he was condemned to a slow death.\u00a0But he wanted to live!\u00a0That is why he came to beg for life from the Giver of life, from Jesus Christ himself.\u00a0He did not disappoint.\u00a0Jesus fulfilled his wish.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we look around us, we find that there are many suffering and those who require our help. They will not turn on us, they will not come to us like the sick from the gospel to Jesus.\u00a0They won’t for many reasons.\u00a0Some cannot come because their health no longer allows it, others will not come because they are ashamed.\u00a0Indeed, we must realize that there are also those among us who, out of some tact, do not raise their hand for help.\u00a0Many are full of hopelessness and melancholy, so they want to die forgotten.\u00a0And we should focus on those.\u00a0We have to help them, give them a helping hand.\u00a0How beautiful it is when such a person feels that he is not needed.\u00a0According to the Church, a sick person is necessary and with his suffering, he purifies the world. All sick people are a warning to us, they are a nuisance.\u00a0Who will count the sufferings, the sacrifices, the prayers, which are weighted in gold in the plan of redemption of the world?<\/span><\/p>\n

Suffering is not an insignificant thing.\u00a0Look how many people and families came to their senses, and returned to God, when one of them had to carry the cross, illness, and suffering from life! It is beautiful when the sufferer hears words of comfort from our lips, that his suffering is an enrichment of our life.\u00a0True, only one who has faith, i.e., a believer, can evaluate this, because he understands the value of sin and the value of repentance. Saint John of the Cross, the lover of the cross, says: – Brothers, our suffering here on earth cannot be compared to the suffering that awaits us after death for our sins. If we had to choose, let us choose to suffer here on earth and to rejoice with God as soon as possible after death.\u00a0– Conscious and voluntary acceptance of suffering saves a person from further sins and helps him to voluntarily cleanse himself from sins already forgiven. Suffering properly understood raises the mind to higher values.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s remember this and never make it feel, true, if it is not exaggerated, when our elderly and the elderly need our help, that it is a nuisance to us, that they are a burden on us.\u00a0Let’s not talk insultingly about them.\u00a0Let’s not wish them death!\u00a0Only God can withdraw from this world.\u00a0As long as a person is alive, he has the right to be given attention and love.\u00a0Let’s not forget this, especially when it comes to those who gave us life, who made more sacrifices for us than ours, when we have to make more effort even for several months, when there is less sleep, free time, etc. Jesus himself is a role model, strength, and example. Jesus also teaches us that where modern medical science can no longer help, a good word, care for them, a visit, and the like can help, or at least alleviate pain and suffering. Sick of the gospel did not give up.\u00a0And that is an example of the sick. He did everything in his power.\u00a0He did not resign!\u00a0And this is necessary for the sick and old to realize.\u00a0Many are impatient when they don’t get everything they want right away.\u00a0Such a person is then really a burden, a weight in the family.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brothers and sisters, sick and old, in your prayers often remember those who take care of you, but do not forget yourself, so that you can bear your crosses patiently.\u00a0Realize that this suffering of yours has meaning.\u00a0Be an example of patience to your dearest.\u00a0Don’t forget to thank them for the good they have done.\u00a0You yourself know that today’s world is very busy, that even those who take care of you do not have it easy.\u00a0They have other responsibilities besides you.\u00a0Don’t say they don’t like you.\u00a0I believe that this is a matter of honor for every Catholic Christian, how he can approach this problem.\u00a0The sick and the healthy must realize that in such situations tensions and misunderstandings arise from small things, and therefore we must be able to rise above them, forget, forgive, and not immediately turn small things into anger, inconvenience,\u00a0which are often forgotten and forgiven only after death.\u00a0Why spoil what we worked hard to build before?\u00a0Sickness and old age must not break a single Christian heart.\u00a0We should not blaspheme, often ask: why me?!\u00a0After all, I haven’t sinned in anything!\u00a0Only one who has not understood the teachings of Jesus Christ speaks like this.\u00a0It has certainly happened to you that you have visited such people and left them ashamed.\u00a0Why?\u00a0Many a suffering believing Christian knows how to encourage and please more than we who are healthy.\u00a0Such a meeting is what we have to adopt and learn today.\u00a0I know many positive and negative examples.\u00a0It has certainly happened to you that you have visited such people and left them ashamed.\u00a0Why?\u00a0Many a suffering believing Christian knows how to encourage and please more than we who are healthy.\u00a0Such a meeting is what we have to adopt and learn today.\u00a0I know many positive and negative examples.\u00a0It has certainly happened to you that you have visited such people and left them ashamed.\u00a0Why?\u00a0Many a suffering believing Christian knows how to encourage and please more than we who are healthy.\u00a0Such a meeting is what we have to adopt and learn today.\u00a0I know many positive and negative examples.<\/span><\/p>\n

I like to go to one disease that doesn’t feel unnecessary.\u00a0She is not demanding on domestics, she prefers to be kept in a room.\u00a0He doesn’t mix with young people.\u00a0What is her strength?\u00a0Pray!\u00a0She says that when she was young, she did not have much time for prayer. Now she takes this illness as a gift from God to survive it in prayer and to apologize for her sins.\u00a0But he doesn’t forget the home team.\u00a0She won’t tell them, only she and the Virgin Mary with Jesus know how many graces she has already begged for the family and others.\u00a0And this is not unnecessary, although I know that many consider such old age a loss and would rather see their mother-in-law, mother, or father doing something, even if they are ruffling feathers. Mammon!\u00a0No, such a person, who thinks like this, must be careful not to live to a sad old age or a tragic one. I believe that this reflection was not harmful.\u00a0However, we should also be careful about souls.\u00a0We should not give offense.<\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
