Faced with tribulations, unexpected physical difficulties, complicated family relationships, troubled social relationships, it is important to have a clear idea: to have faith in love.
All this opens us to a new perspective: we discover that love is always possible and it is important to take the initiative. Even if our path has been unfortunate and full of mistakes, even if we have experienced the strongest fragilities and disappointments, the choice of concrete love has great value.
So how to live this IDEA OF THE MONTH? Demonstrating all our trust in love whenever we find ourselves in extreme situations. This attitude does not save us from our responsibilities, it does not exempt us from doing our full part. But our trust can be tested and the challenge is to correspond and be able to overcome obstacles. This certainty also allows us to be bearers of light and peace, "touching" with tenderness the person who suffers, the one who is in need, in the dark, who finds himself lost.
This was the case for a mother from Venezuela who found the strength to forgive. “In a desperate search for help, I attended a meeting where they talked about how to live in love, and there I heard someone say shocking phrases such as: 'Blessed are those who work for peace' or 'Love your enemies'. How could I forgive the person who killed my son? But, in the meantime, a seed had entered me and the decision to forgive finally won. Now I can consider myself someone who trusts love. I was recently called to court for a contest with my son's murderer, who had been arrested. It was a very hard moment, but something extraordinary happened. In my heart there was no longer any hatred or resentment, only a feeling of compassion and the intention to always have faith in love."
