A lazy people who do not trust in the help of the Lord

The prophet Aggeus tried to move the heart of a lazy people who gave in to bitterness and a defeating mentality. For years the people have done nothing to restore the Temple of Jerusalem destroyed by the enemy, so the Lord sends His chosen to renew the Temple. However, the people did not have the will to stand up and start again, not to be helped by the Lord who wanted to lift him. And this is the drama of these people, even ours, when the spirit of lukewarmness takes us over, when this lukewarmness of life comes, when we say: Well yes, Lord, well … but only slowly, slowly, Lord, that would be enough … I’ll do it tomorrow! So that we can say the same tomorrow and postpone it tomorrow, and so on and on … And the result is life in postponing the decision to turn the heart, to change life …

Spiritual lukewarmness is “cemetery peace”

Spiritual lukewarmness, which hides behind uncertainties, and many people’s lives end up as a rag because they did nothing, just kept calm and calm for themselves. It’s a “cemetery room.” When we enter this lukewarm, this attitude of spiritual lukewarmness, we turn our life into a cemetery: this is not life. It’s just closing up so that we don’t get into trouble. Like these people who said: Well, yes, we are ruined, but let’s not risk it, not to move. We are used to living like this.

Wake up from “gentle spiritual anesthesia
