The paradox of sacrifice

In offering a glass of water to someone thirsty in the street, sacrifice the pride of only serving in a grand way.

 In donating a large sum to a cause you believe in, sacrifice your attachment to material possessions, enriching your soul.

 In dedicating your free time to volunteer work, sacrifice the whim of investing your hours of rest and leisure solely for your own benefit.

 In committing your heart and life to a humanitarian ideal, sacrifice the narcissistic selfishness that compels creatures to live according to exclusively personal interests and objectives.

 Yes, Jesus quoted the prophet Hosea and confirmed the divine revelation: “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.”1 However, at the same time, He sacrificed Himself entirely for the benefit of all members of the earthly humanity, even to the crowning of His suffering in the ominous crucifixion.

 The paradox is diluted, however, when one understands that, without sacrifice, nothing important, valuable or lasting is achieved, even concerning the worldly existence.

 Regarding the spiritual realm, however, the principle of sacrifice, as a means of exchange for great achievements, does not dispense with the spirit of joy, gratitude and free choice, with which one reaches the essence of the sacrificial exercise, according to the Greek etymological origin of the term, which implies the sacralization of the one who sacrifices.

1. Matthew 9:13 and Hosea 6:6.

The fall of all walls

We were in council of mothers of goodwill and devoted guardian fathers.

Close to the hour of the Angelus, according to Berlin time, Lucia dos Santos, the principal visionary of Fatima, withdrew into a state of prayer. Moments later, the Image of Our Most Excellent Mother appeared, becoming perceptible to the audience of relatively heterogeneous evolution.

Nodding majestically and candidly to those of us who had gathered from the five continents of the globe to receive Her, while many of those present were unable to manage to hold back their devotional reverence of genuflection, Mary Christ made Herself heard, reverberating Her caressing and strong Voice throughout the environment, although She did not seem to move Her lips.

As usual in these sacred experiences, some listened to Her in the language they were most familiar with, while others received Her message directly through mental waves, without linguistic articulation.

My beloved sons, my dear daughters:

This Sunday, we celebrate the first quarter century of a significant historical event on the path to universal confraternization.

The fall of the Berlin Wall not only favored the reunification of a divided Germany, but also brought about what happened a few years later: the laborious, delicate, unstable, but gloriously important process of European union.

In the meantime, the “Iron Curtain” also came down and even the millenary Wall of China was metaphorically pulverized, with the ancient and immense nation of the Far East opening itself to diplomatic, commercial and cultural relations with other peoples, as never before.

There are still many invisible barriers to be broken down or overcome:

The one that separates rich countries and individuals from poor ones;

The one that distances Western civilization and its civil liberties from the castrating tyranny of primitive societies;

The one that leads followers of distinct religious factions to anathematize each other;

The one that curtails the right to be, act, and feel of women, LGBT and black people in giant pockets of moral backwardness and systematic persecution of minority groups around the world, including in significant social strata of many of the most economically and culturally advanced nations on the planet…

But the movement to tear down all walls and erect all bridges between people and communities has not only begun, it is advancing rapidly toward its goal: to integrate, harmonize, and bring happiness to the diverse segments of humanity on Earth through shared progress and continuous solidarity.
