Don’t hide your brilliance

Don’t hide your brilliance, don’t hide your essence, don’t bury your talents, don’t throw away the gifts God gave you. Do not commit the sad sin of omission, do not contribute to the further spread of evil in the world. Your active presence as a disciple of Christas a builder of the Kingdom, as a missionary and a prophet, from your historical position, you will make a difference, you will contribute to changing the world.

The darkness continues to spread, with less and less shame, without concealment, appropriate public spaces such as social networks, politics, laws for abortion, sodomy, euthanasia: in the field of entertainment, invading schools with distorted sexual information, creating public opinionin favor of unnatural behavior. Worthless poverty and misery are spreading more and more, where there is an abyss of division between rich and poor, the middle class is disappearing.

Social injustice, corruption, the use of advanced technology for the almost exclusive use of the elite, leaving a cell phone and little else to the poor, hypnotizing them, manipulating their conscience, alienating them. All this speaks of a force beyond governments, which extends its tentacles creating a new way of being, uniform, amoral, consumerist, faithless, without God, non-solidarity and poor in humanism.

In this world, in this reality you have to shine, transmit light, radiate with your behavior. Let your example speak louder than your words. With your way of being, let people know that there is another way of living. Refrain from going to shows where the image of God implanted in every human being is distorted. Where a person and his dignity are degraded by jokes, fashions, immoral songs.

There are many songs today that significantly violate concepts such as the sanctity of married love, healthy coexistence between people, the reality of a man or a woman and honest work. Refrain from going to places, houses, entertainment centers, where you know there will be violence. profanity, profanity, crude jokes, uncontrolled drinking. You don’t need any of that, and why waste time that won’t come back on things that don’t do you any good, instead of spending it reading a good book, spending time with your family, doing some meditation exercise, sports or healthy entertainment with some good hobby. Good movies, listening to lectures online, music concerts, something that enriches the soul.

Belonging to a prayer or apostolic group of the Church brings so many good benefits. And you must shine by testifying with your word when necessary. Be a prophet proclaiming the truth of the Kingdom, condemning evil, giving reasons for your faith, s courage, respect, delicacy and clarity.
