My child, I want to talk to you now about charity. Whoever judges without a precise basis commits a terrible mistake. However, for our topic of reflection for today, I want you to go into greater depth with regard to the following:

It is wrong to delight with a neighbor’s misfortune when this misfortune is not going to bring a spiritual good in others. For example, an illness or an economic problem that will not make well their soul. By the same token, it is also wrong to suffer because of the good fortune of other people, only because they appear to be happy. This is because this sin is envy and envious people are followers of the devil who, because he could not bear to see man in Heaven where he lived, induced Adam to rebel against God. Those who belong to the devil imitate him; they feel envy just like him.

Another important point is to speak well of your neighbor. That is what it says in the Scriptures. You should also know that those who speak well of others are loved by all, while those who speak ill of others are repudiated, not only by man, but also by Me. The gossip’s tongue is a triple-edged sword: one edge wounds the neighbor who is the target of the malice, another wounds those who listen, and the third wounds the one who is speaking, depriving her of My grace. The worst thing of all is someone who speaks and says: Do not tell anyone; it is a secret. This is because that person is like a snake that bites without making any noise.

….EXTRACT CONCLUDES….

The Writings of Katya Rivas

The Great Crusade of Love and Mercy

Each year as an part of an observance of Lent Scoop.co.nz publishes a serialisation of Katya Rivas's book "The Passion".

Katya Rivas's work was the subject of a documentary made in 1999 by Australian's Ron Tesoriero and Mike Willissee called "Signs from God" ( read a review here ). In the same year the then Bishop of Buenos Aires Jorge Bergoglio - now Pope Francis - requested a scientific investigation of a remarkable and unexplained phenomena involving a discarded host which had started to bleed. In 2013 Ron Tesoriero published a book "Unseen : New Evidence" which addresses what happened with this investigation and its implications for the quest to discover the origin of life.
