On the Path
"Some people are like the seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them." Jesus (Mark, 4:15)
Jesus is our permanent path toward Divine Love.
Along with Him follow, filled with hope, all the spirits of goodwill, sincere followers of the sanctifying path.
On that blessed and eternal path the seeds of the Celestial Light proceed for the ordinary man.
Constant observation on the part of everyone is imperative in order that the treasures do not slip by unnoticed.
The sanctifying seed will always arrive in the most varied circumstances.
Just as occurs to the generous wind that spontaneously spreads among the plants, the principles of life, an invisible kindness distributes in all hearts the opportunity of accessing the road of love.
Usually, the divine spark appears in ordinary daily activities, such as in a book, in an insignificant incident at work, or in the useful observation of a friend.
If harmful herbs occupy the soil in your heart, and if you have already received the celestial principle, cultivate it with devotion, sheltering it in the garden of your soul. The human verb may fail, but the word of the Father is eternal. Accept it and comply with it, because if you flee away from the imperative of eternal life, at some point, the angel of unhappiness will visit your spirit, indicating new routes to you.
